Instagram users often turn to luxury style influencer Hannah Chody’s advice for sartorial solutions. (Think, “What is a good option for a formal wedding in Capri?”.) Chody began her influencer journey on TikTok, where her videos on style and tips she lives by in her own fabulous day-to-day trended, which led to partnering with luxe brands such as Jimmy Choo, Armani Beauty and many more. Chody felt she didn’t resonate with many fashion in uencers as she doesn’t stick to one aesthetic and thought she could fill that gap with her humorous commentary and style tips. Quite right she was. After Chody created a tasteful sweatshirt for her bachelorette party, fans demanded she make them available, which led to her launching Shop Aperitivo. With such success, Chody says they are venturing into more items soon.

Fans of the CW show Walker need no introduction to actress Odette Annable. She has been a standout cast member for three seasons (soon to be four) and fits perfectly here in Austin. When not filming Walker with fellow resident Jared Padalecki, Annable enjoys time with her family and friends and supporting causes like Center for Child Protection, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Project ALS. Balancing life between work and family keeps Annable on the move, but she navigates it seamlessly. While acting has taken her to iconic roles in television, movies and music videos, Annable remains approachable and warm, embodying the hospitality Austinites are known for. Though her stardom may be continuously rising, Annable stays grounded in the city she calls home. Here, she shares her seasonal script.

Fashion designer Brittany Allen is an Austin hometown style hero who is featured in this past season of Project Runway. She inspires creativity in the ATX community and made us proud each and every challenge she showcased her style strengths. Designing her own line and handcrafting each item, Allen’s wardrobe is anything but simplistic. She is bold, and her clothes emulate precisely that. Women’s empowerment means everything to her, and she loves powerful shapes and prints that bring out the fiery side in every woman. Seeing a void in the market, Allen married the idea of activewear and ready-to-wear. Speaking of ready-to-wear, Allen is launching a new collection soon full of vibrant colors and prints that will surely be the star of the season.

ANGELA GARCIA

PHOTO BY ALEX HAY

“Welcoming” is one of the words Angela Garcia uses to describe her sense of style, which just about sums it up. A woman of many talents—a philanthropist, fashion lover, golf course queen and fitness guru alongside her husband, Sergio Garcia—Garcia is, above all, a mother dedicated to spending time with her two kids. Of course, they’re the inspiration behind FORE Kids ATX, her and Sergio’s foundation. If you’re at any fundraising gala in Austin, passionate and fun, Garcia is the one waving her paddle loud and proud and grabbing the mic, encouraging the rest of Austin to “pony up!” She is not afraid of a challenge and will be participating in Dancing With the Stars Austin this year—of course, while simultaneously hosting FORE Kids ATX’s second annual event later this fall, Dec. 1-2. For this Austin ace, doing it all in style is just par for the course.
