“Fans have been asking me to design DC fashion for a while now,” said actress and Her Universe Founder Ashley Eckstein. “I’m honored to be a part of the DC family as the voice of Cheetah in DC Super Hero Girls, and this collaboration became inevitable, as it has been in the works for some time. It’s a dream come true to design for Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman, three characters that I love so much!”

Price point of the collection is $24 to $55. The Wonder Woman collection is landing in stores in May in celebration of the new Wonder Woman movie opening June 2.
Eckstein, inspired by Wonder Woman, wanted to encourage young women to embrace their warrior spirit and has created a promotional campaign that will be launching with the collection’s release. Using the hashtag #HerUniverseAtKohls, these subtle reminders encourage fangirls to be like these iconic DC characters in their everyday life:
Batman: I am the Knight
Wonder Woman: I am Wonder Woman
Superman: I am strength
“We’re thrilled to partner with Ashley, once again, to bring DC’s most iconic Super Heroes to ‘Her’ Universe,” said Pam Lifford, President of Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “This all-new activewear collection is inspired by Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman, and is for everyone who wants to exude their inner Super Hero, show off their strength and power, and just have some fun.”
