editor’s letter
Casual Comforts After many long, grueling, skeeter-infested months, summer has finally worn out its welcome here at the Click offices. I always like to look at our annual fall fashion issue as summertime’s walking papers, and despite the mild temperatures this year, it couldn’t have come soon enough. This month, we’ve got scores of style tips and in-depth interviews with some local experts, including men’s fashion entrepreneur Zac Woolfolk (page 13) and teenage bowtie designer Moziah Bridges (page 16). Moreover, our headlining feature “Fall Forecast: Trendspotting” features, fittingly, some of the coolest looks of the year captured by Louis “Ziggy” Tucker. For those who aren’t into the high fashion scene but still looking to have a good time, we’ve put together a guide to game-day goodness that’ll help get you in gear for the upcoming football season in our “Belles and Whistles” feature (page 66). It’s no secret that we love our pets down here. That’s why this month’s nonprofit spotlight on the local social media sensation known as the Southern Friends Animal Society (page 24) really struck a chord with us. And speaking of chords, our music department this month showcases Julien Baker, a rising MidSouth songstress whose most recent track, “Sprained Ankle,” recently debuted on NPR. So from all of us to all of you: please enjoy this little slice of the South and keep reading local. I have a feeling that the coming months and subsequent holidays will see some of the best Click content yet.

S THE OWNER OF OXN (PRONOUNCED ‘Oxen’) in Memphis’ South Main Arts District, Zac Woolfolk has his own take on why clothes indeed make the man. Now the 30-yearold Internet marketer is working to take his joint venture with MEMshop to the next level as he talks about quality, craftsmanship and that feeling you get when you put on the perfect pair of jeans.
ZW: I feel a great pair of blue jeans is a staple for every man’s closet. A good quality pair of denim jeans will last for years, be suitable for 99% of situations (I am living proof), and can be dressed up for a business meeting or dressed down for a weekend out of town. CM: Why did you choose downtown Memphis as the location for your shop? ZW: Downtown Memphis kind of chose me actually. I’m part of a program, MEMShop, that helps retail shops get up and

who we are and how we present ourselves on a daily basis. Around the same time, I began to come across brands and makers around the world that care about the things they make and the products they use. The idea of those two things together helped me develop as a more confident person in my appearance, my attitude, and my professions. Dressing better made me feel better at the end of the day. Like most people, I like to feel good about myself day in and day out. The simple change of wardrobe was just the beginning of that and I soon found out I wasn’t alone. So to answer your question, it inspires me to introduce quality goods to a new market and tell the story of the brands and the makers to people that step into Oxn.

Fit to be Tied 13-year-old entrepreneur and fashion designer Moziah Bridges knows bows Story by AMBER HAMPTON | Photos by ANNABELLA CHARLES

T ISN’T HARD TO PICK MOZIAH BRIDGES OUT OF A crowd. He’ll be the only 13-year-old riding his bike around Memphis in a suit and bow tie.
Moziah, or Mo as he is more often called, says he has always
had a “passion for fashion” and aims to just have fun with it. Citing modern style icons like Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z, Mo calls his personal style classic “but with a fun twist” that came about several years ago when he was having trouble finding the right pieces to fit his “style and personality.” His grandmother, a professional seamstress, taught him to sew and he went to work making the kind of bow ties that he wanted to wear. He didn’t intend to create a business at that

Mo hand-picks his fabrics, an effort that allows him to ensure his products stay true to his classic and fun feel. He still makes the time to get behind the sewing machine when he can, but what he really loves is just being involved in his business. “I really love just going

around and thinking of new ideas, doing speaking engagements, and interviews,” he says. One of those new ideas includes skinny neck ties, which he plans to add to his product line in the future. Mo has a few long-term goals, too. “I plan to go to the Parsons School of Design in New York City and have my own clothing line by the time I’m 20,” he says. “As I get older I’m sure I’ll probably just start designing things and by the time I’m 20 I will have all those ideas saved up until I’m 20 and just go for it.” Though Mo takes pride in all his designs, one bowtie is particularly special to him and it has nothing to do with fashion. It’s the “Go Mo” Summer Camp Bow Tie. Each year, Mo uses the proceeds from the sale of a specific bow tie to send Memphisarea youth to summer camp. In the last three years, Mo has sent 35 kids to summer camp. “That puts a smile on my face because I get to see kids staying out of trouble and just being kids,” he says. He also has a similar bow tie set up to provide donations to the Boys and Girls Club of Memphis. Mo attributes a lot of his desire to give back to his mom, who is always there to keep him grounded in spite of his early success. “I still get to be a kid, of course,” he says. “I still get to ride my bike and have fun, but I also know business comes with that.” Mo has also spent a good bit of time in the spotlight. He made an appearance on ABC’s Shark Tank, and while none

20 SEPTEMBER 2015 | Click magazine
With themes of unrequited love and the desire to write of something other than death, Baker’s emo style has traceable roots. She draws inspiration from her friends and from her literary tastes. “Whatever I am reading usually plays a big part, when I was reading Milton and Dante, my music reflected those concepts. A lot of my favorite authors like Woolf, Marquez, and Wilde have contributed to my material as much as my personal experiences.” Those personal experiences include becoming a self-taught guitarist in 6th grade, and going over her favorite songs on a guitar her father bought her. “I would basically just sit around in my room and teach myself how to play Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance songs. Maybe that’s cliché, but those bands were so important to me when I was learning to play.” Following Sprained Ankle’s official LP release date on October 23 on 6131 Records, Baker will announce upcoming shows in the area. In the meantime, she hopes to continue writing music and performing around Memphis and Nashville, since it’s the live performances that stick with her the most. “There is a certain level of vulnerability that I allow with those lyrics, but I also very much see those songs as a chance to exorcise strong emotion and thus cope with it. Whenever someone tells me after a show or in an email that they related to a feeling described in the song, I think that makes it worth it.”

Simultaneously, broader themes of duty, family bonds, and Southern heritage play out among the expertly written characters.

All of the tales would certainly fall under the category of historical romance are brimming with the vibrant history and graceful charm that our region is so often recognized for.

It’s similar to a wine tasting only with fine olive oils and balsamic vinegars in lieu of Merlot and Malbec. Olive Oil tasting is on the rise everywhere, so you can easily find a store in most major cities to host your party. We chose Pass Christian Olive Oils and Vinegar’s in Pass Christian, Mississippi and hope you find inspiration from our party to throw your own. MEDITERRANEAN MYSTIQUE During the tasting, you are learning about the oils and vinegars and all the aspects to explore and enjoy. There are also many ways to use olive oils other than the
ordinary uses that would surprise you — Using it on your skin is just one.
FOODIE FUN Our Olive Oil Tasting was a birthday party, so we added several other festive touches. In choosing a menu, we wanted to compliment the olive oils and vinegars and even decided to use some of them in our recipes. We marinated and grilled chicken breast and had guests build their own salad. Then they got to choose their dressing from one of the many combinations of olive oil and vinegar’s in the store. Breads, fruit and cheese were also a part of the buffet to enhance the tasting experience. To top it all off, we had a birthday cake that was served with ice cream — topped with balsamic vinegar.
THAT’S A WRAP! After the party, guests were able to shop and take home olive oils and vinegars that they loved, with a new found appreciation and recipes to go with them. You can easily host your own party at your home if you don’t have a local store. It’s affordable and fun and just one more thing to share with those you love. 78 SEPTEMBER 2015 | Click magazine
