“Creating a perfect balance IS what I like and love to do ”

JUTE MAGAZINE | PAGE 61

I read that you made your first mini top hat for a burlesque performance. Do you still have this piece, and how did you come up with your stage name and eventual company name: Miss Kitty Mae Cupcake? I am a bigger woman and wanted a stage name that was sweet, but also had a southern feel to it--since I am from Mississippi. The name came along right within my need of creating a perfect balance between what I like and love to do. The hat that is mentioned on my online biography was actually my second mini hat I ever made. The first one was horrific! However, yes, I still do have the hat and still wear it from time to time. What prompted you to make your first mini hat and when did you know that you wanted to become a milliner? I learned to sew at a very young age and I do enjoy making things myself, so that and the fact that I couldn’t find anything I liked online is how I decided to make my own hat. I did a search online on how to make costume millinery and then by trial and error was able to create my own. During this time I feel in love with the process and it’s what I enjoy more than anything. After I made my first hat in 2008, I then began my bridal collection in 2010. And then, I began learning how to make traditional block hats in 2012. What is your design process? My design process varies. I first get inspired by materials or by another designer’s collection, or even an outfit. Other times, a random idea will pop in my head and I’ll go from there. As far as constructing the hats, it depends on what I am creating. Right now, I’m making more block hats--which is forming the materials around a wooden form. The different shape you want comes with its own wooden form and you can combine it with different brims and crowns. I’ll add different pieces to the brim too, either to stretch it out or make the brim flip up. Anything the client wants or that I believe would make the design stand out.

Tekeda: I am Here INTERVIEW BY STEFANIA PRUSCINO

Joseph Freyta’s is an emerging and talented fashion designer from Colorado. His senior showcase entitled, I am Tekeda, is a capsule collection of different mental stages. From exploring feelings of confinement to discovering absolute freedom, Freyta’s counterbalance to life’s tumultuous emotions are not made clear within his designs, but also reflect the dichotomy of his personal aesthetic. I was fortunate to be able to interview Mr. Freyta about his collection, his journey in becoming a designer, and what he wishes for in the future. Joseph, you’re originally from Colorado and now reside in Denver. Has living here influenced you as a designer? It has and it also has not. It has influenced me in a way that made me want to reach out; to see more and know more. Interesting. Did you always know you wanted to become a designer? Throughout my life there were times when I thought that’s what I wanted to do (become a designer), but then I always told myself ‘never mind’ and did something else. I went to CSU (Colorado State University) for a while and felt really out of place there.

JUTE MAGAZINE | PAGE 142

I see. So was there a pivotal moment while attending CSU that made you realize design was your calling? My “Aha!” moment came when I was walking around alone in the middle of the night and went to the library and picked up an issue of WWD magazine. I was flipping through the pages and I came across this editorial for Lanvin. The model was wearing this beautiful wind swept dress and it was the weirdest moment because I remember getting chills just looking at it. It was just the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. That was the catalyst for me - and after a series of odd events - I found myself signing up for it (design), a year or two later. It was definitely destiny. That’s brilliant! If you had not decided to become a designer, what would you be doing instead? Man, I don’t know! If I weren’t designing I don’t know JUTE MAGAZINE | PAGE 143

what else I would be doing. I probably wouldn’t be in school. I would probably be in retail and not working [towards] anything. I always think of that Lupe Fiasco song where he says, “hip-hop saved my life,” and I think that fashion saved mine. It would seem that you have found your calling. Speaking of calling, what does Tekeda mean? It’s an acronym for my name. Well, actually, it’s more than just that. A long time ago I used the Wu Tang Name Generator and the name given was Eurythmic King of Nowhere. I wanted to expand on that name and I changed it to Eurythmic King of Design and Art which eventually turned into Tekeda. Tekeda itself doesn’t mean anything, which is what I wanted. I wanted it to sound broad--in that it doesn’t have an origin, or a time stamp. It’s a name you can expand upon and go wherever you want with it.

The name of your latest collection is called I am Tekeda, which is a very powerful title. Can you expand on the meaning and source of inspiration? Thank you. The I am Tekeda collection was sort of like a big stamp of I am here. The inspiration was of duality and playing with different mental states, like the juxtaposition of chaos and clarity, confined and free, hard yet soft. So, a lot of my pieces are made to counterbalance themselves.

vin editorial inspired you to become a designer. What other designers or brands do you look up to? A lot, but some of my favorites are: KTZ, Stella McCartney, Balmain, Mary Katrantzou, and definitely Alexander Wang. Oh, yes. Alexander Wang is one of my favorite designers too!

The woman I want to design for is very strong in my mind. Someone who doesn’t apologize for being who she wants to be, someone who takes charge, someone who isn’t afraid to stand out.

His collections and shows are beautiful. I just love how clean his designs are. He’s definitely someone I look up to. I’m a big fashion nerd--if you will, and a lot of the shows I watch blow me away because of the creativity level. Also, knowing the process that must go into making something that beautiful makes me appreciate it so much more because I know all the work and time that was put into it.

So, when you’re creating a collection do you have her in mind? What is your design process?

When you’re not working or designing your next collection what do you like to do?

I definitely have her in mind. My process is very mindful. I’ll have a second of inspiration and then spend weeks planning on how I will accomplish it, and then I begin making it. I like to use natural fabrics such as leather, denim, and knit mixed with spandex because it has more structure but still stretches. Using these materials require me to be very meticulous about every detail and that’s why planning is so important in my process. Another important part of my process is the naming of the collection and garments. I name these through folklore and history. I use a lot of different mythologies or languages. In my senior collection the names of the garments were in Latin, in other collections it was a mixture of Egyptian and Greek goddesses.

JI rarely have any free time, but I do like to travel. I would say that traveling is my second passion. I was just in New York and it was great! So whenever I get the chance I’d like to go to Morocco or St. Tropez or anywhere in Europe for that matter. Europe is so rich in culture and history and I definitely want to experience that atmosphere.

Very intriguing, so what kind of woman is the Tekeda woman?

You design for both men and women. Moving forward, which will be your main focus? JDefinitely womenswear will be my main focus, because it is at the point where anything sort of goes. You can basically be as creative and innovative as you want. Menswear is getting there, but it’s not at that level. I do love to create menswear, and I love making things that I can wear, but with women it’s almost expected to make [something] crazier because women can pull it off better.

Andrew Kalashnikov INTERVIEW BY YINSEY WANG

JUTE MAGAZINE | PAGE 147

JUTE MAGAZINE | PAGE 148

Saint Petersburg-based Andrew Kalashnikov tells stories through his pieces. As a photographer with a strong love of cinem a, his compositions are filled with mystery and elements of darkness. Of particular interest is his use of color and lighting to create striking images. Discovered by Dazed Digital, Kalashnikov has displayed his works in Rick Owens’ corner in Printemps, Paris and the Diesel Reboot exhibition in Les Galeries Lafayette. He has been published in various magazines including Rolling Stone, Women’s Health, and The Printed Blog. A graduate of the University of Cinema, Kalashnikov supports his visionary talents through hard work, dedication and ambition. He shares his thoughts with Yinsey Wang on his success so far, as well as his reflections on his past achievements and work. Your images have elements of darkness in them. Why do you think this underlying feel is present in your images? I intended to make my work cinematic and dark. From the beginning of a piece’s conception, I would have planned in my mind what I wanted from the piece. I would not have pursued photography as a career just for the money; it is the creative element that is key to me. What has been the greatest influence on your work? Life, my interest in dark, moody things, and cinema. I graduated from the University of Cinema, watching a lot of movies like crazy during my studies. They have definitely influenced my work as a result.

You’ve only been doing photography since 2011. How have you managed to improve so quickly? When you devote your free time to learn, make mistakes, and grow as an artist, forces tend to help you reach your goals. All that I have achieved was not by chance. Frankly, at first it seemed difficult to convince anyone that I could make it with my dark work and shoot for big magazines. Regardless of having been published in magazines, I am still an independent artist. What is the most crucial element to ensure success on a photo shoot? Organization is crucial. Good communication between members of a creative team on set is important. A bit of creative spontaneity also helps. You’ve only been doing photography since 2011.

Tell us about living in Saint Petersburg. Does being in this culture-rich city influence your creativity and passion for creating art? Saint Petersburg has a fabulous scene. It is full of museums, culture and castles. Considering the fact that the most of my works were created here, the city has undoubtedly influenced me. For the past years, I undertook outdoor photo shoots at all the locations I wanted. At least, it seems so. Otherwise, creativity depends on an artist’s current state of mind and motivation instead of his location. Sometimes you are so focused on something that you completely forget where you are. I should say my inspiration comes spontaneously (and goes, too). Tell us how and why you started photography. Was it something you picked up gradually or something you just found yourself becoming quickly addicted to? I planned to do three projects just JUTE MAGAZINE | PAGE 151

for fun and then quit. The rest is history. Briefly, before photography, I was involved in many creative projects: helped with postproduction, video design, and writing, etc. Then, I was motivated to do my own stuff. People said I was good at it, so I took more and more pictures. When you have accomplished most of your creative goals before reaching 25 years of age, it gets harder to challenge yourself! Frankly, it’s difficult to say what keeps me going now. Can you tell us about which piece of photography means the most to you and why. I guess that my personal projects mean the most — in the ‘projects’ section on my website. It’s great to photograph with no deadlines or other limitations. You can find fine art, narratives, and landscapes here. They mean the most to me and through them, I recall particular memories. Enigma (an outdoor fashion campaign) is very striking and haunting. The best piece I’ve ever done in a commercial genre is a campaign with a

mysterious model by the waterfall with long white hair. Tell us your most memorable experience doing photography. On my waterfall shoot, where I fell in before the shoot started (it was quite ‘refreshing!’), or on the shoot where I was at a cemetery in Milan--we couldn’t find the way out (as it’s huge), or shooting Tricky who was totally dazed! I have a lot of memories from my experiences in photography. If you had the chance to photograph anyone, living or dead, who would it be? Any music bands. I’ll be proud to shoot stunning photos for record covers and booklets. I’d ideally like to work for Garbage and The War on Drugs.
