BEHIND THE SEAMS


Fahion Director, Styling, and Fashion Curation by Anna Jara
As Fashion Director for Behind the Seams, I worked closely with our team to curate looks from ten senior fashion designers at SCAD. We wanted to go deeper than just the final garments—to capture the thought, emotion, and process that went into each collection. From casting to styling to creative direction, this project was about celebrating the work behind the runway and giving these designers the space to share their stories.

Dressing Your Age: People Pleasing in Your 60s


Styling by Anna Jara.

 In this SCAD Manor editorial, I explored how societal expectations often pressure older individuals, especially women, to dress conservatively, leading many to avoid expressive fashion choices due to fear of judgment. This piece highlights the importance of challenging ageist norms and encourages embracing personal style at any age as a form of self-expression and empowerment.

THE LITTLE PRINCE: Move YOUR VISION SCAD WORKSOP


Fashion Editor, Styling, and Concept by Anna Jara
As Fashion Editor for SCAD’s Visual Media Team, I collaborated with my peers to create an editorial concept inspired by The Little Prince, highlighting four central characters—the Little Prince, the Fox, the Rose, and the Pilot. The concept was brought to life through a live workshop for senior fashion students, where we demonstrated the process of creative direction, styling, and on-set collaboration during a real-time editorial photoshoot open for observation. As an extension of the project, we also directed a fashion film to further explore the story’s visual narrative.

ALL IN


Styling by Anna Jara.

 For “All In” with SCAD Manor, I contributed to the shoot’s fashion direction, supporting the development of a visual story centered on risk, confidence, and full commitment to identity. Working in dialogue with the narrative, I helped shape looks that felt intentional and bold, leaning into styling choices that emphasized contrast, tension, and self-assurance. The result is a series of images that mirror the story’s message, using fashion as a way to express what it means to fully step into something without hesitation.

“More Than Just a Resale Rack”


Co-Creative Direction and Styling by Anna Jara.

 For “More Than Just a Resale Rack” with SCAD Manor, I co–creative directed the shoot, developing the concept and overall visual direction. I sourced and styled all looks using entirely vintage pieces, pulling primarily from Papa Jawns, a Savannah-based vintage store, alongside additional garments to build out the story. The shoot reframes resale as something intentional and editorial, showing how secondhand clothing can be styled in a way that feels elevated, personal, and fashion-forward.

The Coalescence Issue


Fashion Direction by Anna Jara.

For The Coalescence Issue with SCAD Manor, I contributed as Fashion Director, guiding the overall styling direction in alignment with the issue’s central theme of convergence, where contrasting identities, aesthetics, and ideas come together. In conversation with the written narrative, I helped shape a visual language rooted in layering and contrast, ensuring each look felt both intentional and cohesive. The result is a body of work that translates the story’s exploration of duality into fashion, creating imagery that feels fluid, expressive, and editorial.

Assless Ski Pants are In and I Need Them: Dsquared² Fall 26 

 Words by Anna Jara.

This past week, my close personal friend, Hudson Williams opened the Dsquared² Fall 2026 Ready-to-Wear show in Milan. Watching how quickly Hudson has risen to fame is genuinely wild. Opening his very first show, on his very first runway, at his very first fashion week is an incredibly impressive accomplishment. I honestly can’t think of anything comparable in recent media, or even historically. Yes, he’s insanely hot, which obviously doesn’t hurt, but that same magnetism has long worked in favor of Dean and Dan Caten, the twin brothers and creative directors behind Dsquared².


Hudson’s cult following and undeniable sex appeal launched this show straight into the media spotlight. Dsquared²’s casting choices have always kept them relevant, and moments featuring Doechii and supermodel Alex Consani have consistently driven virality, content clips, and conversation. Time and time again, Dsquared² gives us something to talk about, from bold production design to Dean and Dan themselves emerging on the shoulders of two burly men (ate). If I could enter every room on the shoulders of a tall, hot man, trust me, I would.

The show was an obvious nod to the upcoming Winter Olympics in Milan. Ironically, Hudson and his Heated Rivalry co-star Connor Storrie carried the opening torches of fire during the show, which felt both fitting and surreal.


Now, let’s talk about the clothes. I thoroughly enjoyed the collection. Though I’ll admit I may be biased, as Dsquared² has been a longtime favorite of mine. I’ve also been skiing since I was a little girl,  so one could say I'm the exact target consumer for this collection. Their ability to merge production design with strong conceptual storytelling never misses.


My standout pieces were the heelless ski boots. So sick. Ski boots are already the hardest thing to walk in. Every time I hike up to the lift in my boots I feel like a waddling club penguin…so I’m deeply impressed and wildly curious about how those heels actually feel. I’m also obsessed with the chaps silhouette made from ski-pant material. As both a chap owner and longtime skier, I need them. Picture me shredding down the mountain in assless ski-pant chaps with a massive fur hat. Iconic. My dad whom I always ski with would be horrified and embarrassed but I'd feel great.


Proportion and color-blocking were two of the most evident and successful design elements throughout the show. Oversized puffer coats and comically large hats made a strong impact, accentuated by playful graphic details like look 31 with a knit saying “Hot as Ice” and look 26 with a first-place medal knitted directly into the garment. Definitely Dsquared²’s personal take on the prize ribbon trend we've been seeing this past year. 


While I overall enjoyed the show, I couldn’t help but notice a few discrepancies. Several looks toward the end, specifically looks 35, 38, and 40, felt jarringly out of place. They made me fully stop and look around, confused. The silhouettes were awkward, and the plain color choices lacked the intrigue and energy present in the rest of the collection, making those looks feel disconnected from the show’s otherwise cohesive narrative. Do we think the brothers got lazy??? Guess we’ll never know. 

Beyond the runway, the conversation didn’t stop. Dsquared² threw a fun after-party, and clips of Yasmin Wijnaldum casually sharing Hudson’s vape and their little touchy moments flooded my feed. Hopefully, this time next year I'll be at an apres ski party in my full Dsquared² look partying with Hudson. A girl can dream.
