I love that color gives us so many options for self-expression. When I was 15, I would paint my nails black and layer purple and black lipstick until I felt that Robert Smith would be proud. Then with an anarchist roar I would exclaim “I don’t care what you think of me!” As I grew out of my rebellious teen years and started experimenting more with color I learned just how empowering the right color can be. Isn’t it amazing how a pair of pink kitten heels just makes you feel so much flirtier than that same pair in green? Or how unashamed you feel in a sexy LBD when paired with the perfect nude pumps? And I personally love nothing more than donning my power color to lunches and having all eyes on me. Color is expression, and that is why this color issue is so exciting to me! From bright hair to girls who just don’t care, this issue is a real visual feast. I hope you enjoy. XOXO, Kadie The color issue. As a woman who, if anything, probably uses too much color in their wardrobe on a daily basis, I can’t help but have a special place in my heart for the color issue. My first love in fashion is pattern, so to say that I don’t adore bold color would be ridiculous. What I love the most about this issue is the beautifully deliberate use of color in each and every editorial. We’ll be starting off with a fabulous editorial from Redavell showcasing an exciting use of pattern with garments I am dying to get my hands on. The current color and pattern trends in fashion just have me beaming. It makes me giddy to finally say my daily matching of plaid, polka dots, and floral prints are in. So suck on that, world, and check out our color issue. XOXO, Lynzi

ASHLEY THOMPSON
I am a junior at Kenyon College. I am currently studying abroad for a semester at Glasgow School of Art. Art has literally saved my life. I would be a depressed puddle on the floor without it. I don’t like rules. Especially grammar. I like to feel weird. My friends are all more beautiful than I am. I am hopelessly flawed. I am currently reading Fight Club. I am always reading Skid, a book of poetry by Dean Young. I am half American, half Chinese. In middle school, kids called me Ting Ting. My mom always thinks I am on drugs, even if I am lying in bed reading comics on a Sunday morning. I wear leopard print every day. I write a lot of letters. I love my life, even the things I hate about it. We love how edgy all your work is. Do you intend to push boundaries with your work, or is it just something that comes naturally? My heart is constantly in the process of breaking. My brain almost always feels like it is exploding. I am a relatively mellow person, but I have a screaming energy inside of me and I have to let out all of the pain, anger, and frustrations of being a human being through my art. I am not very private about my life. I call myself an over-sharer. But I have to claim ownership to the stories and experiences that
have shaped my life…I have to present them as experiences that have empowered me. I want all the assholes and jerks in my life to look at my art and to know that I left them far, far behind – that I can look at the past and laugh. If a viewer could take one thing from your art, what would that message be? There are no boundaries. Creating art and learning to be free is the same thing. Did you always know that you wanted to be an artist? I went through many creative phases. In middle school it was theatre, in high school it was creative writing – now it is the visual arts. I’ve always needed a medium in which to communicate in a larger way. I am an introvert, but I’ve always wanted people to know who I am, and that I am not someone you can push around, mistreat, or dismiss. My art is a way of saying you are not allowed to forget me. You are not allowed to forget my love. Where would you say you draw inspiration from most often? I draw inspiration from the brilliant things I hear on ordinary occasions. I’ll be having a random conversation with a friend and a sentence will stick out as transcendent. I draw source material from everywhere: Chinese propaganda posters, family photos, old magazines, children’s colouring books, weird things people google on the internet, cat calendars, etc.

We absolutely love your series with the various vaginas. What made you decide to do this series? The vaginas were a project I did for my figure drawing class. The theme of the project was sexuality, and my original idea was based off of butcher diagrams, except instead of diagraming a pig or a cow, I would divide a woman into her most desirable parts (ass, breasts, thighs, etc.). However, in the process of looking up different names for various parts of the woman’s body, I came across a list of synonyms for vagina on the Urban Dictionary. Over two hundred completely absurd, yet frightening synonyms were listed, and I decided that illustrating as many as I could in a very literal manner would be a funny way of addressing a very serious issue.

If you could summarize your work in three words, what would those three words be? I never know how to answer this kind of question, but my grandmother, despite the fact that she’s been living in the United States for 20 years now, only knows how to speak three words in English: I love you. So that’s what she would say. More of Ashley Thompson's work can be viewed and purchased online at www.wix.com/helloashley/portfolio.

The make-up was carried out by spreading a face primer, a corrective under the eyes and a clear foundation cream all over the face. For the eyes I used a basic primer. Then, a green eyeshadow that I shaded from light to dark. There is a thin line of black eyeliner on the eyelid. Next, black mascara and false eyelashes were applied. I spread a pink blush on the cheekbones and the lips. For the lips, I added a pink lipstick and neutral lip gloss. JUTE MAGAZINE

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOSHUA CHASE INTERVIEW WITH KADIE MURPHY CREATIVE DIRECTOR: KADIE MURPHY BAND MEMBERS: RYAN ROSS, DANIEL VELIZ, DANIEL EISENSTAT, JEFF THOMASSEN, CAITLIN MCGRAW For more information on The Truth and Spectacle, please visit their website at: thetruthandspectcle.com Or find them on social media: facebook.com/thetruthandspectacle
O
n a cold January morning in Denver, I sat quietly drinking a latte waiting for Ryan Ross (guitarist/songwriter) and Daniel Veliz (lyricist/ vocalist/synth) of The Truth and Spectacle to come in. In this trendy overpopulated area, I kept looking up as every hipster entered dressed like they were meant to be on stage. But there is no mistaking your everyday mustached-skinny-jean-wearing-barista for The Truth and Spectacle, because when a real rock star walks into a room the energy changes.

Ross and Veliz met at a party about five years ago, instantly recognizing the musician in one another. Veliz joked, “We made eyes at each other across the table.” Ross added without skipping a beat, “It was love at first sight.” It would be years later until they began playing music together. Veliz remembers, “I’d been writing a lot, piano ballads and stuff. Ryan had been in a band so we talked and I shared some of my music with him, but nothing ever came of it. I moved, and then years later an opportunity presented itself so I called Ryan and said, ‘We’ve been talking about this for years - let’s make it happen.’” However, writing across state lines wasn’t the most conducive to the creative process. Ross and Veliz would send digital files back and forth, adding and revising. “Thank God for Ryan’s technical advice, because I would have still been sending him recorded tapes through the mail.” 110

“It was a long process. We’d sit on a song for weeks, months, try to add to it and record with it, and send it back to each other and tweak it,” Ross recalled.
“And then we’d save it and send it and lose files and it would cost us hours and hours.” “So we started just booking flights for long weekends so that we could get writing done together.”
Eventually enough was enough and Veliz decided to make the move back to Denver. Since then, they have been writing, recording, and moving toward larger goals.
Veliz recognizes that newcomers have some things to learn, but they aren’t waiting for it to fall into their laps. “Ryan wakes up every day and finds an article and sends it to me so that we can learn about networking, using different types of flyers, writing lyrics, and so forth. We’re green. When we first started, we booked a recording studio because we had the money to do so.

Then they came across Daniel banged out, we figured we’d do so in the studio when we got there. We didn’t get very far. And Eisenstat (drummer) through a mutual friend. then a month later he reads an article saying it’s Veliz noted that it wasn’t easy finding people the worst possible thing you could do. And we that could fit in with the dynamic duo, but understood it from having made they couldn’t be happier the initial mistake.

They fit those spaces with just the two of us and it was that Ryan and I felt we couldn’t fit.” a disaster!” Ross exclaimed. “It was the worst live performance ever! We had a realization that Forty-five minutes into our meeting, Daniel if we wanted to play live we couldn’t bring the Eisenstat joined us. Eisenstat is also the concepts in our music alive in a way that would guitarist and lead vocalist in another band, but do it justice with just the two of us. So we went drumming is his first love. “Since I play a few from focusing on playing live to finding people different instruments I like figuring out how to that could help us achieve the goal of having a complement whatever is going on or subvert really great production of our songs.” Through whatever is going on.

better with the addition of these guys.”
After coffee I got a chance to watch the band rehearse. As everyone came into the practice space you could see that there was such a genuine respect. Hashing out a new song, bassist Thomassen was full of ideas, just as was promised. “We call him our musical prodigy.” Veliz laughed. It didn’t take long for everyone to build upon his bass rift. Ross jumped in with a complimentary guitar part, while Veliz filled in a melody on the keys. McGraw was studiously listening for her vocal cues, and Eisenstat came in with a strong rhythm to tie the whole thing together.
Veliz went on to add, “Ryan and I have always tried chasing the idea of musical prosody matching the emotions of the vocals to the musical composition. And Daniel (Eisenstat) does very much do that. And Jeff does very much do that. As far as musicianship goes, I will never be there. It’s amazing and phenomenal watching that happen. When minds come During rehearsal, every band member made together and they understand each other, it’s a conscience effort to be present. They delved an amazing thing to be a part of. You can hope into their world and swam within for it, and people talk about it, their songs and music until “I think one of the but I never thought that would everything became fluid.

“And what I've learned from this is simply ‘know your music, own your music.’” Nodding along to the beat, I kept thinking about something Veliz said earlier, “I think one of the things that I’m most proud of is that we don’t know what we’re doing. We don’t! This has been a learning process and it has been eye opening. Our focus has become knowing our songs and learning our songs so that in the event that we have the money again to go back into the studio, we are ready and prepared with something that is worth recording. And what I’ve learned from this is simply ‘know your music, own your music.’” JUTE MAGAZINE

COLORADICAL
By NICOLE SCHAAP of Crème De La Couture
Fashion industry folks are infamous for always wearing black. Black on black on different shades of black! Black is easy. It’s flattering because it’s slimming, lengthening, and plain old chic. Who doesn’t love black? Saying you don’t like black is like saying you hate jeans or leggings; It doesn’t make sense! Black is a favorite because of comfort. Comfort in fit, style, and let’s get down to the real issue here, it’s safe. While there are always situations where you should have a safety outfit, we need to let go of this color safe state of mind and embrace an inner love affair with color. I don’t know about y’all, but what’s sexier than a man in a pink dress shirt with a pop color necktie? It’s sexy because it’s not safe, it’s daring!
I was shopping with a client recently and we had to DWELL on whether a purple camisole was appropriate underneath a pink sweater. They were both cool tones; in my head I saw no issue. My client, however, beat the subject up like someone’s life was on the line. She needed a cream cami like a hole in the head. We just dropped off a bin of them at the thrift store, and she still had 10 shades of cream camis in her closet. Letting her purchase one was against the rules at that point and yes, it had very much become a game. I am gentle in my job and realize not everyone is comfortable in what they see as “flashy,” but they do hire me because they want to be more fashion forward. After almost admitting defeat SHE PURCHASED THE PURPLE! It was a touch down moment for me. While doing the end zone dance at the cash register, it hit me. I live in a market where people don’t dig the fine art of getting dressed, or have much fun doing it. 146
JUTE MAGAZINE
Glancing at the men’s department, there weren’t any pink dress shirts, no Ted Baker neckties; the mannequins were safely dressed in black base garments with accents of color. Then I looked down at my outfit: infamously colorful Pucci snow boots, olive leggings paired with a bright purple blouse, an even brighter green coat, pink scarf, dark purple handbag, and black fingerless gloves and I had a small freak out moment! No, no, I knew I looked fresh. I freaked out because people simply don’t know how to dress with color. They don’t trust themselves! Marketing at many stores spoke safety to them. It didn’t tell them it was ok to pair orange with pink, or that green and teal was a hot cruise combo. Most people get information from what’s on display at the store, or in the catalog, or whatever the sales lady says. Not everyone is into all of this as deeply as I’ve enveloped myself. Few see fashion as a form of art, or engulf themselves in every high fashion magazine, or have a bookshelf loaded with art history, fashion photography, and designer memoirs.
HERE YOU GO! YOU CAN MIX AND MATCH COLOR!
I’m telling you it’s okay! If you don’t believe me there is a corporation that has been around for more than 50 years that call themselves the “color authority.” Pantone. They truly are the color authority. Tiffany Blue? Pantone color. The red that dawned the soles of Christian Louboutin shoes? Yep, it’s a Pantone color. Recently, Pantone launched the fashion color palette for Spring 2014. Here is the list: Violet Tulip, Paloma, Freesia, Celosia Orange, Dazzling Blue, Placid Blue, Hemlock, Sand, Cayenne, Radiant Orchid.
All of these colors can be worn to complement one another. Pair Placid Blue with Cayenne for a match made in heaven (my fave), or Paloma and Freesia (totally head over heels for that combo too). The best thing you can do is play with colors; throw on combinations from your own closet you would never normally try. Make a party out of it. You might be surprised at how much bigger your wardrobe gets with all the new combinations you didn’t realize were right under your nose. VIOLET TULIP Nostalgic Romantic Plentiful Subtle
PLACID BLUE Calm Tranquil Relaxing Peaceful
PALOMA Sophisticated Luxurious Chic Dreamy
HEMLOCK Summery Abundant Classic Earthy
