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.

UP FRONTARTS, CULTURE AND PERSONALITIES

When the Clothes Make

the ManEntrepreneur and marketer

Zac Woolfolk on dressing for success

Interview by TONYA THOMPSON | Photos by CASEY HILDER


up front people

Click Magazine: What’s the inspiration for the name ‘Oxn’?

ZW: I was inspired by the definition of the word ‘auxin,’ which

is a growth hormone in plants. The idea of growth in the city

of Memphis is something that really set with me. So I played

with the spelling a little bit and ended up with ‘Oxn,’ which is

pronounced like the animal, oxen.

CM: What is it about the clothes and goods you sell that

inspires you most?

ZW: Until I was about 26 years old, I didn’t care one thing

about what I wore. I didn’t care about who made the clothes

or where they came from. I read something along the lines of,

“You get dressed every day. Why not care what you put on?”

and it really resonated with me. What we wear represents

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.

CM: What is, in your opinion, the perfect wardrobe staple for

a man and why?

AS 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-year-

old 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

running. I applied to this program, and after submitting some

more applications I got accepted and took a leap of faith to

hope this works out.

CM: Has this store been a long-term plan in the works and

how has it been seeing it become a reality?

ZW: This store has been a dream for about 3 years now. It’s

been nothing more than a dream though until May 1st when

I got the keys to the place knowing it was going to open on

May 29th. I wanted to open a store for guys that has quality

products that they will be proud to wear and something that

will be sustainable. It’s been great to see that develop and

with only being open 2 months I know this is just the tip of

the iceberg.


CM: You talk a lot about the story of the

brands at Oxn and why those stories are

so important, what’s a good example?

ZW: A good example is a Apolis, a brand

that creates global advocacy through

how they operate. They get their

fabrics made all over the world with

fair-wage cooperatives, which then

send the fabrics to LA, where Apolis

creates their collections and bags.

When you purchase an Apolis product

you are becoming a ‘global citizen’ by

supporting efforts to make the world a

better place. There are stories like this

behind almost every brand I carry.

CM: What’s different about the clothes

you carry versus what other men’s

stores in the area sell?

ZW: While there are other quality

men’s stores in Memphis. My approach

is more to a Made in USA, small brand,

curated line up of heritage, workwear,

classic pieces that will suit the modern

gentleman in everyday wear. I can

shake the hands with the people that

make the products that are in Oxn.

CM: Where would you like to see Oxn

go in the next 5 years?

ZW: I really want Oxn to be the start of

a community spot in the next few years.

A place for people to get quality clothes

and lifestyle goods, but also a place to

get a cold brew coffee…or beer, listen

to live music, host special events, and

more. Oxn’s goal is to become a place

where it has exclusive products as well

as super fun events.

CM: Who most inspires you and why?

ZW: My dad, Woody. He passed away in

2012 and was not able to see my dream

develop or become a reality. He was very

inspiring in all aspects of life. Taught me

about humor, how to deal with money,

and how to be the best man I can be. I

wish he could see all of this.

CM: What item of clothing do you own

that you can’t possibly imagine living

without?

ZW: I recently wrote about this on

oxnshop.com, but it would be a limited

edition workshirt that’s slightly too

small. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

It’s kind of like a like jacket that is

developing beautiful natural indigo

fades. Only 30 were made and I couldn’t

be more proud to have one. Next up

would be my first pair of Rogue Territory

blue jeans. They’re retired in the shop

(most of the time) now, but they show

my story of how Oxn came to be.

Fit to be Tied13-year-old entrepreneur and fashion

designer Moziah Bridges knows bows

Story by AMBER HAMPTON | Photos by ANNABELLA CHARLES

IT 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

point, but it seemed the bow ties he wanted to wear were the

bow ties others wanted to wear, too.“People just started saying

‘Where did you get that tie? Where did you get that tie,’ and

eventually they got better and better and I grew my business.”

So, at just 9 years old, Mo began selling his handmade bow ties

and Mo’s Bows was born. Now, four years later, Mo’s Bows offers

a comprehensive line of bow ties and pocket squares for adults

and youths. From plaid to paisley and so much in-between,

there are styles for the subtly chic and the boldly fashionable.

Each bow is handmade in the USA, a conscious decision on his

part. “All the big manufacturers come from China, so I thought,

if I can put my business back in America I can also help other

people. Now we have five or six employees and they depend on

us to keep their lights on and pay their bills so that was a big

thing for me.”


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 Memphis-

area 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

of the sharks took his bait, he’s seen

a surge in business. He also tours the

country as a motivational speaker,

encouraging young audiences to explore

their passions as he has done.

Mo’s Bows can be found at a number

of boutiques across Memphis, five other

states, Canada and the Bahamas, and his

online store at mosbowsmemphis.com..”

From Punk to Pathos

MidSouth songwriter Julien Baker talks unrequited love and the perfect

acoustics of parking garages

Story by TONYA THOMPSON

up front music

THE SOUND OF PASSING TRAFFIC ECHOING ACROSS

the 4th floor of a Memphis parking garage fades to a

white noise background when the crystalline vocals

of 19-year-old songwriter Julien Baker begin. “I knew I was

wasting my time,” she sings, eyes closed, fingers walking

progressions between major and minor chords. The opening

lines are from her self-penned track, “Something” and it’s

her first produced video, as strong, pitch-perfect vocals fill

the emptiness of the garage space like a performance hall.

“Whenever I close my eyes, I’m chasing your taillights.”

The video is available on YouTube, and is directed and

produced by Breezy Lucia, a Memphis-based filmmaker

whose portfolio includes work with local organizations

like Choose 901. “[Lucia] approached me wanting to film a

live performance of a song making use of a cool acoustic

environment,” says Baker. “I thought it was such a cool idea,

and so we just scoped out a few places, found that parking

garage and it just happened to be perfect.”

After hearing a few lines and the raw intensity of Baker’s

voice on the guerrilla-inspired video set, it’s easy to see what

prompted NPR correspondent Katie Presley to describe the

Memphis native’s music as “wound and salve alike.” And it’s

not the only collaboration between the young musician and

Memphis-area filmmakers. She was also chosen to play for

the soundtrack of writer-director Morgan Jon Fox’s upcoming

series “Feral,” an 8-episode serial film foray into Memphis

talent, local color, and LGBT themes.

As an English Literature major and student at MTSU, Baker

is still finding her footing in the varying sounds coming

from her live performances and artistic collaborations. She’s

turning 20 this month and burning up the road between

Memphis and Nashville, finding inspiration and influence

through her experiences and tours in between.

“I guess my music and my live set is all over the place,”

says Baker. “A lot of the ‘punk’ aspects, like the shouting/

aggressive vocals come from being a part of the DIY punk

and alternative scene from very early in my youth and also

being in a heavier band, that definitely carries over to my

solo music, but it definitely has a somber, ambient feel, too.”

Sprained Ankle, the title track from her upcoming debut

album feels anything but punk, although her local band,

Forrister, formerly known as The Star Killers, has a decidedly

punk feel. “I think it’s a really interesting intersection of the

calmer, spacy guitar style I have and the harsher sounds

of the aggressive music I also dig. I have difficulty pinning

down a sound. I think I just want to make pretty guitar riffs

and really personal lyrics…something that’s accessible and

able to be shared, but still emotional.”


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.”


The Storied South Commonly rooted in themes family ties, spirituality, and community bonds,

the prose of the South remains solidly grounded in regional values in The Curse of Crow Hollow and Among the Fair Magnolias

Story by SHANA RALEY-LUSK

up front books

IN A TIME WHEN QUESTIONS AND OPINIONS SWIRL

about what is or is not Southern, about who we are as

a people or where we are headed, and about pristine

protagonists versus their flawed and painfully human

counterparts, Southern literature remains a strong and

unbending testament to the richness of our culture and the

importance of our ever-complicated heritage.

Assembled here are two of the best new volumes for your

Southern literature library, complete with all the nostalgia

and magic that make our region’s writing an unmistakable

proclamation of love for our cherished, many-layered

Southern home.

The Curse of Crow Hollow by Billy Coffey

Undoubtedly recalling the style and talent of many great

Southern authors before him, Billy Coffey unravels the

memorable and intricate tale of Alvaretta Graves in The Curse

of Crow Hollow. Rhythmic and expressive, Coffey’s words pull

readers into rural Crow Hollow where everyone has their

own opinion of Alvaretta, but none of those opinions are

endearing or kind. Ranging from accusations of true insanity

to fears of witchcraft, the whispers among Crow Hollow

residents are many where this perplexing mountain woman

is concerned. Drawing heavily on the power of folklore and

superstition, Coffey crafts a tale of mystery and darkness. As


the book unfolds and its characters seek

to uncover the much-coveted truth,

they learn more about themselves

than they ever thought they could.

Billy Coffey is hailed as one of the best

Southern writers of our time and is

recognized for his ability to combine

the captivating charm of the South

with the grotesque and unexpected. He

has written several critically acclaimed

books and is a regular contributor to

quite a few publications as well.

Among the Fair Magnolias by Tamera

Alexander, Shelley, Gray, Dorothy Love,

and Elizabeth Musser

For a bit of lighter reading Southern-

style, this new collection of delightful

love stories has something for just

about everyone, particularly those

looking for an escape to the past. All

set during the turbulence of the years

before and after the Civil War, these

novellas each center around the life of

one strong heroine who is faced with

nearly impossible choices in terms of

life and love. Family homes, battles

of the heart, childhood friendships,

faith, and plantation ownership all

come into play as these captivating

tales unfold. Simultaneously, broader

themes of duty, family bonds, and

Southern heritage play out among

the expertly written characters. Each

story has a well-rooted regional feel

and leans heavily on the nostalgia of

the Old South complete with idyllic

scenery and flowery dialogue. 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. Exciting

plot twists and subtle humor add to

the overall feel-good vibe of these

romances. As an added bonus, each

novella includes a delicious recipe

related in some way to the story.

Among the Fair Magnolias is an ideal

choice for book clubs and is sure

to sweep readers away to a time of

gentility and refinement in the not-

so-distant past.

FOR DOGS LIKE CHARLIE, A HERNANDO STRAY BORN

on the streets who eluded animal control for more

than a year, the sheltered grounds of the Southern

Friends Animal Society represents a little patch of heaven

on earth.

The three-acre patch of land and animal shelter, overseen

by the watchful eyes of caretakers Tara Murphy, Sherry

Nicholson, Trisha Standard and Terri Esther, provides a space

to rehabilitate injured, abused and abandoned animals from

the Tri-State area. “After about four weeks at the

shelter, I had gotten to the point where I felt like I

could really handle him at home,” Murphy says. “We

got him to the point where he is able to be fostered

or adopted, but he basically lives with us now.”

From their cozy property in the Nesbit/Southaven

area, live-in caretaker Terri Esther’s “sanctuary

area” usually plays host to 13-18 dogs of all sizes in

several expansive “runs,” large pens that offer much

more room to run than the typical kennel of cage.

“It all started when a group of us got together at the

Hernando Animal Shelter as volunteers,” Murphy says.

“After doing that for two years, we decided to expand

our own group to help out other shelters in the area.”

These women developed a nonprofit model based

Dogs’ Best Friends

Homespun pet saving initiative the

Southern Friends Animal Society

protects the neediest of pooches

Story by CASEY HILDER

on Bestfriends.org, a Utah-based no-kill sanctuary that is

among the nation’s leaders in animal safe havens. “We

will pull from any shelter in the tri-state area and owner

surrender is considered in special circumstances” Murphy

says. “We try to help all of them, but being as small as we are,

you just can’t do as much as you like.”

With more than 3,000 likes on their Facebook page since

the group’s inception in 2013, the Southern Friends Animal

Society has developed a sizable local following. Volunteers

are very needed. “Just get ahold of me, I’ll put you to work,”

Nicholson says of the single-step volunteer process. “We’re

getting to the point where we need as many hands working

out here as possible, especially when it comes to donations,

construction and expansion on the property.”

Future plans for the group include the construction of

a brand-new “hissy house,” a feline safe haven for cats

to lounge around in, as well as the Paws for Celebration

fundraiser at Cedar Hill Farm on September 26. Tickets for

this event are $20 in advance, $25 at the door and can be

purchased at SouthernFriends.org.

Exploring Olive Oils

The perfect Olive Oil Tasting Party

makes for delicious, educational foodie fun

Story by MICHELLE HOPEPhotography by GRACE PHOTOGRAPHY


entertaining

LOOKING FOR A NEW WAY TO ENTERTAIN YOUR FRIENDS OR celebrate a birthday? Throw an Olive Oil Tasting! 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 FUNOur 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.
