"facebook dialogPinterest\n\nEvery spring, I hop down to Savannah, Georgia to check out my favorite southern fashion students' final collections at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). This year, my friends, Chris Benz and Christian Cota, joined the ranks of former SCAD mentors, such as Yigal Azrouel and Zac Posen, to give priceless advice and criticism to senior design students.\n\nTrying to offer my own words of wisdom (but somehow sounding like a nagging mom), I quiz some of the students about their future post-grad endeavors and learned that many of them plan to head to the Big Apple this summer. Adriana Osorio Lugo, a recent SCAD grad and Venezuela native, managed to charm the socks off my jet-lagged self (I had not adjusted from a recent trip to San Francisco) with her contagious smile and alluring accent before I even saw her pieces.\n\nThankfully, charm and talent seem to go hand in hand in Savannah. The evolved work of the school's senior collections (that seem to get better and better every year), playfully and meticulously styled by Chris Benz, proves that these students just may be ready to take on the industry. And if the rest of the graduating class have at least half of Adriana's charisma, then the industry's design studios better watch out for a true SCAD invasion this summer!\n\nCheck out all of by behind-the-scenes snapshots from the trip."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
