SCAD Manor

In a world that keeps asking us to brace ourselves, ’s Class of 2026 chose romance. A return to dressing up. Evening wear, sculptural silhouettes, pastel confections, and robe de style revivals. All made by students who are optimistic not despite the chaos, but because of what they’ve built through it. This is a class that looked at uncertainty and responded with intention. With romance. With craft. We are in awe.

More coming soon.

Our Editor in Chief .arajas, Copy Director , and Art Director got the chance to step backstage for an exclusive sneak peek before Friday’s show.

From pre-show rituals to runway mindsets, we wanted to know: what were the fabulous models doing before the big event, and who were they channeling once they hit the runway?
