While Darth Maul and Ahsoka are at odds, Sam and I are good friends! When Matt, Dee, James, and Cat came in, it was just like old times. Most of us have known each other since 2006 and we've become a family. What was the shoot like?

Some costumes are more difficult than others to design but I always love a challenge. I love to look at costumes, whether they are animated or not, and figure out how I can translate it to fashion. : Can you talk a bit about taking these animated looks and bringing them into the world of fashion? It seems like a tricky thing to do.Īshley Eckstein: We specialize in what I like to call "everyday cosplay."

And what did you want the line to say?Īshley Eckstein: Every year for San Diego Comic-Con, we design a new collection. : The Clone Wars obviously means so much to fans. ![]() caught up with Eckstein to discuss the collection - which includes items for both men and women - and what it was like reuniting with the cast for the shoot, which you can check out below!
