Ana Escalante
Ana Escalante is an award-winning journalist and Gen Z editor whose work ranges from dissecting size inclusivity at fashion week to discussing how American Girl Doll meme accounts are the the answer to society's collective spiral. She's covered it all: Copenhagen Fashion Week, Roe v. Wade frontline protests, and the re-branding of jorts, or, jean shorts for the uninitiated. At Who What Wear, Ana crafts sharp, irreverent features that speak to a digital-first generation, bringing her signature wit and unapologetic tone to long-form fashion and beauty content. If it’s smart, snarky, and a little unexpected, you'll probably find her name on it.
Before joining Who What Wear, Ana was Glamour magazine's editorial assistant, where she focused on daily news and special projects, including leading the brand's 2022 Met Gala social coverage. Stretching back even further, she was the Editor in Chief of Rowdy Magazine, the nation's largest independent student-run fashion and culture magazine, as well as being the investigative reporter for the University of Florida's student-run newspaper, The Alligator. For more than half a decade, she has covered style, beauty, and digital culture for publications such as Paper Magazine, Harper's Bazaar, Vogue Japan, and Allure, among others. Ana has been called a rising star in media by publications such as Nylon and Teen Vogue. (Her mother, meanwhile, calls her "the coolest person" she knows.)
