Metaphysical Issue: Spring 2014

DAMchicSpring 2014The Metaphysical Issue

22

Surrealism, in regard to fashion, is an interesting subject to us because it seeks to awaken the unconscious mind and release whatever creative energies we have stored up. It’s a whirlwind of color and patterns that overwhelm our senses. It is a movement of liberation; a beautiful fol-low-up from our Uprise Issue. This term, our staff was put to the test and challenged to create a metaphysical- themed issue that would interest and surprise you. I think you will be impressed with the results.

Expect to see a colorful palette and a variety of printed patterns on garments this spring. This season is all about reaching outside of the norm and drawing attention to clothing that stimulates deeper thinking. We’re feeling restless on campus and what better way to express that antsy feel-ing right before summer with an outfit inspired by Salvador Dali?

Feeling a little overwhelmed by this bizarre trend? Feel free to tone it down and introduce surre-alism into your home by visiting our Interior’s Section and picking out a couple pieces to jazz up your place. Are you more interested in introducing some new good vibes to your ears? Check out our music section for some surrealism-inspired tunes that one of our contributors recommended. As always, our fashion sections are spot-on for some major wardrobe inspiration.

I would also like to express how excited we are to introduce DAMchic’s second spring issue. It was this time last year that we officially launched DAMchic as an official publication and we have come so far since. It’s a fun and nostalgic time within our staff and as always, we are so incredibly grateful for all of the support we have received since the launch of The Wanderlust Issue.

I am excited to introduce to you all The Metaphysical Issue, our most abstract and artistic issue yet. We can’t wait to see what trends you’ll be rockin’ on campus this spring.

Xx,Katie Sherpe

Fashion and surrealism began as an art movement in the early 20th century embod-ied by emotions of uprising and hatred towards the atrocities of the First World War. The term ‘surrealism’ coined by French poet Guillaume Apollinaire describes an expression that passes realism (translated from French). Surrealism surpasses reality and transitions into an alter-nate state of mind characterized by the evocative juxtaposition of incongruous images of the un-conscious and dream elements – principles that have rapidly diffused into other forms of art like music, photography, film and especially fashion. André Breton, the founder of surrealism defined surrealism as “pure psychic automatism.” The form it has taken does the phrase justice. With its roots in France the strong historic origins of the movement and its various influential affil-

iates have led to its spread across the world. It had already entered the mainstream media by mid-1930s when fashion designers enthusiasti-cally welcomed the idea of adding rather outra-geous details to outfits and accessories – all of which was previously taboo. From wearing high heeled hats in the 30’s to Lavin’s lip and eye motifs, all sorts of peculiar objects have been incorporated in fashion over the years. Salva-dor Dali, another influential surrealist of the 1930s, pioneered the concept of “weird, wacky and wonderful” fashion for women in his cover paintings for Vogue. The 3 W’s seem to be time-less in their approach. Everyone is constantly looking for styles and trends to set them apart, and these patterns do just the trick! Surrealism has taken various forms since its conception. It is a living, breathing and ever-evolving animal, inspiring designers to delve into their subcon-scious to create the next ‘big thing’. Surrealism in the fashion world allows for imagination to amalgamate with our appearance and somehow combine the intrinsic with the outwardly. Even modern renowned designer labels have used surrealistic techniques to add color and a dis-tinct shade of ‘crazy’ to their fashion. My person-al favorite modern designers like Christian Dior, YSL, Moschino, 3.1 Philip Lim, Celine and Alex-andra McQueen have all sculpted their wear to scream ‘fearless.’ The same trend is also revived in the world of hair and makeup as models, bloggers, musicians and actresses courageously flaunt weird as the new ‘in’. It is certain that the affiliation between surrealism and fashion is the one that has come to stay whether it is in the form of designer labels, hair & makeup or even DIY. The beauty of today’s fashion is that most of it can pass as surrealistic; however every era has its distinct definition of surrealism. What once started as a shield against harshness is now the foundation of imagination and modern runways. Fashion has become the relief from the real world: an escape from what lies outside and instead focusing on what is inside.

TrendingNowOne of the hottest trends this sea-

son is outlandish and eccentric. Pair-ing odd décor and furniture together makes a perfect medley of weird. There are many levels of decorating for New Surrealism and depending on how far you want to travel into weird and strange will depend on your lifestyle. Before you delve into the crazy world of surre-alism, here are some questions you should ask yourself. How often do you entertain at your home? Do your friends and family that visit have the same taste as you do, or do they un-derstand your taste? Would any-one (like children or grandpar-ents) feel uncomfortable being in my home because of the dé-cor I chose? The last thing you want to do is make someone close to you feel uncomfortable and not want to come visit your home. Asking these questions can help you decide if you have free reign to adorn your entire home, or possibly limit yourself to a space that visitors wouldn’t frequent often; like your bedroom or study. There are many different avenues of surrealism; for example think of the differences between surreal art made by Salvador Dali versus Joan Miró. I will show you how different pieces can be layered in a space to create a finished look. There are many types of décor that can be used; wallpaper, rugs, lamps, light fixtures, furniture, art, sculptures. Be as bold as you want, but also be mindful, there is a fine line of decorating for yourself and decorat-ing only for shock value.

After doing some research online I stumbled upon a couple sites that have amazing options for wallpaper. Surrealien.de has a Warp Your Room option where you give them your wall

dimensions and they will develop custom “warped” wallpaper. Check out the images below (or above) to see examples of their work. Besides painting or hanging art this is the easiest way to bring a punch of dynamic graphics to your space. At Spoonflower.com you can find hundreds

of different designs ranging from cutesy to very odd. Browse through the different categories to find your perfect match.

Spring BrunchA fter the snow and rain begin to dispel and the sun begins to shine, there is no better feeling than being outside breathing the cool spring air. This is the perfect time to gather the girls (or guys) together for some yummy food while catching up. Decide on a theme and scour your local stores and online for the best deals for decorating. The theme I decided to go with was a quirky mismatch fit for the Queen of Quirk herself, Zooey Deschanel. Often when shopping I would ask myself, what would Zooey do, WWZD? Well, Zooey would definitely take animal figurines, paint them gold, and scatter them about for funny conversation starters. She would also want to make her guests feel ex-tremely comfortable and create little seating ar-eas for them to relax. But most importantly, she would have a variety of cute little snack foods to appease all her friends and guests.

Mixing and matching prints and colors is a fine art. The best way to make it cohesive while avoiding “matchy matchy” is to find a common color within your patterns. I chose yellow as my common thread between many of the pieces, mainly the tablecloths on all the tables. Easy ways to mix patterns and colors together are in your place settings. Rummage through your cupboards to see what you already have that could get a fresh take with new textiles such as; tablecloths, placemats, napkins, and napkin rings. See below how I made different place settings using an array of layered pieces.

If your home or yard isn’t quite ready for guests, search for local spots like city parks or com-munity areas. I found this adorable gazebo at Philomath City Park that was perfect for my soiree. Most likely the amenities will be free to use and sometimes you are able to reserve the spots to ensure that your party won’t be crashed by someone else.

LipsLikeRoses

by Kathleen Menard photography Bret Lorimore

Inspired by the colorfully fresh rosebuds at the local rose garden, this springtime trend is a must-try. Hues of pink and reds are combined to create a dark, romantic vibe. Whether you’re going on a date to watch the sunset with a lover, or staying in for a candlelit dinner, this look is sure to knock

your partner off their feet.

24

Romantic RedAchieve this look with a

dewy face or take it to the next level by applying a hint

of blush for an ultra flirty touch. Try incorporating

flower accessories or hairclips into your hairstyle

to highlight your lips and exude a romantic mood.

25

Fuschia FusionCompliment a

bold brow with a pop of color to balance the look and create sym-metry between

your features. A delicate braid

above your ear helps to soften

the look and enhance your

overall look.

26

TURNNEON

With the following steps you can achieve this trendy neon aesthetic just in time for spring. Both fun and art-in-spired, this trend is guaranteed to make you stand out. Ideal for concerts, outdoor art fairs, carnivals, and festivals, “Turn Neon” will be sure to have you turning heads.

by Kathleen Menard photography Savanna Davis

She Wore Blue Shadow

This first look is an easy and subtle way to wear

neon eye makeup. You can achieve this look with three

steps:

1. Start with a blank canvas (foundation, powder, and concealer).

2. Pair blue shadow with black liner to

create depth on your

eyelids.

3. Finish the look with a sheer peach lip and a small amount of blue glitter on

the eyelids.

27

She Wore Blue Shadow

“Tucan” do itInspired by the tropical

bird, this look incorporates colorful vibrancy and is the perfect makeup aes-

thetic to complete your festival outfit. Create it

with these steps:

1. Start with your blank

canvas includ-ing foundation,

powder, and concealer.

2. Start at the corner section

of your eye with the color of your

choice. Grad-ually continue shading in the

powder until you have a series of

colors.

3. To create an opaque lip color, blend a small amount

of concealer on your lips for a

base. From there, apply a lip color of your choice. We decided on purple to match the section on

the eye to make both stand out.

29

FruitsandVegetablesSmoothies can be a healthy addition to your diet. This recipe incorporates fruits,

vegetables and protein. As an added bonus, it tastes awesome!

Combine all ingredients into a blender and blend until

smooth.

This smoothie provides you with 1 full serving of vegetables and 2 full serv-ings of fruits. On top of these benefits, you are also getting protein from the whey powder, healthy omega-3 oils from the chia seeds, and necessary vitamins from the almond milk. I recommend making this smoothie for breakfast, as a snack or an after workout treat.

Every year, the Oregon State University puts on the Recycled Fashion show, giving students from all majors a chance to showcase their environmentallyfriendly designs in front of a large au-dience. I had the chance to interview a designer in the show, getting her input on the over-all show, materials she used, and her inspiration. Rachel Draper, a senior at Or-egon State University who’s majoring in apparel design & merchandising management with a minor in business fully utilized the show’s name, Trashin Fashion for her design.“My inspirations were a mix of 1950s and 1920s fashion. I wanted the over-all shape to reflect the 50s, but the attitude to reflect the 20s.” With those inspirations in mind, Rachel used paper for the top of her design, then trash bags and strips of magazine covers for the jacket. For the skirt she used trash bags and safety pins. Knowing that she didn’t have a

lot of time to create her design, she started working on it at the beginning

of the term.

She mentioned that making strands of safety pins, weaving together magazine

strips, and braiding trash bags for the trim of the jacket were the most difficult parts of her design.

As an experienced designer who has show-cased her work in the Spring Show last

year and the Red Dress Fashion show this past fall, she said the recycled show is a challenge, because it is more of a ma-terials challenge. “It’s more difficult to work with items that aren’t meant to be made into clothes. You have to take into consideration what materials you have available to you before finalizing your design” she explains. When I asked her if she had any ex-pectations for the show, she replied, “I didn’t really have any expectations for the show. I was just excited to see my look and all my fellow design-ers looks come together and hit the runway.” The show did come togeth-er, thanks to the efforts of OSUFO,

volunteers, and a fantastic audi-ence who enjoyed Rachel’s and the other designer’s looks grace the runway.

Push the boundaries between art and reality as we take a literal approach to the

idea of our bodies being a blank can-vas. Explore the harsh lines and edges of

pop-art, the simple but striking impact of pointillism, the emotion provoked through

the placement of shading and strokes and the power of color. Be inspired as art

and fashion collide!

Imagine a comic book character coming to life – strong and powerful with a hint of mys-

tery. For this look, we were in-

spired by Pop art and aimed to capture this theme by using

black and white to create contrast-ing lines and angles while adding a splash of bright lip color for an

extra “bang!”

59

Inspired by pointillism, a

painting technique in which dots of color are used to

create patterns, this look uses metallic

colors and shading techniques to create symmetrical designs

that highlight different angles of

the face.

60

For this highly

conceptual look, we exper-

imented with using sharp lines

to create a feeling of

drama as well as outlining facial

features to add a hint of intrigue.

63

The colors in this look lend

themselves to hints of spring while

the texture and strokes used allude

to an abstract, acrylic painting.

In the world of dreams, anything is possible. We exit one world and step

into another, which can be parallel with the idea that fashion also has

other-worldly attributes. As our model makes her way through an abstract

dream world, she finds haunting and eccentric scenery; an eerie and unre-

al experience.

If you like Pretty Lights, Dis-closure, and/or Caribou, you’ll like:

DJ Koze’s AmygdalaIt’s been nine years since German DJ/producer Stefan Kozalla (DJ Koze) released a solo album. Complete with collaborations featuring art-ists such as Caribou, Matthew Dear, Apparat, Ada and Milosh, Amygdala is creatively struc-tured to suit both your study music and dancing-around-the-house-in-your-skivvies needs. DJ Koze continues to craft dance music that deviates from the norm, and for that, “Amygdala” deserves the free space on your music-playing device. The track from Amygdala that will get you hooked: “My Plans (ft. Matthew Dear)”

If you like XXYYXX, Shlomo, and/or Gold Panda, you’ll like:

Metome’s ObjetSoulful, jazzy, and intimate, Objet introduces itself with tantalizing beats and rhythms paired with complementary samples that wave up and down the shore that is your speakers. Listen to this while working on your term project or during a laidback evening at home to soak up all of Objet’s diverse musical elements.

The track from Objet that will get you hooked: “Quiet Room”

If you like The Weeknd, How to Dress Well, and/or Cut Copy, you’ll like:

Blood Orange’s Cupid DeluxeAn album consisting of true 80’s vibrations along with facets of electronic pop mixed with R&B, Cupid Deluxe is not an album to ignore. Partnering with notable artists like Clams Casino, David Longstreth of Dirty Projectors, and Caroline Polachek of Chairlift, Blood Orange has uniquely construct-ed an album that contains an immaculate blend of genres. Blood Orange’s popularity is only continuing to grow due to the success of Cupid Deluxe, so don’t forget to catch him at Coachella this spring!

If you like Chance The Rap-per, Drake, and/or Kendrick Lamar, you’ll like:

Childish Gambino’s Because The InternetDonald Glover (Childish Gam-bino) continues to put out ingenious, witty raps over in-novative beats. Because The Internet features a lot of criti-cism concerning social media networks, which is interesting because Glover is a social media aficionado himself. Regardless of this conflict, this album tells an interesting story and has the potential to appeal to a large audience because of it. The track from Because The Inter-net that will get you hooked: “Life: The Biggest Troll”

If you like Jefferson Airplane, Fleet Foxes, and/or Belle and Sebastian, you’ll like:

Quilt’s Held in SplendorHailing from Boston, Quilt’s sophomore album achieves the folky psychedelic mood that makes its audience question in which decade it was originally released. Held in Splendor is catchy in nature and begs to be heard in the morning light accompanied by some yoga poses and incense smoke. It has a transformative essence that flows easily but is equally com-plex as each track progresses in time. I will not be surprised when this album appears on multiple best of 2014 lists.The track from Held in Splendor that will get you hooked: “Tie Up the Tides”

Allie Rogers: What inspired you to major in business?

Alex Scott: Being able to influence some-one into purchasing something, the whole marketing aspect got me interested.

AR: What about marketing caught your eye?

AS: Being able to market a specific brand or product. Seeing what influences people to buy things caught my eye as well. One class in the marketing program is called Consumer Behavior and we studied why people act certain ways and why they pur-chase certain products.

AR: Describe your dream job.

AS: Promoting a brand for a company or working in marketing for a sports team. Nike maybe?

AR: If you had the chance to double major what would it be?

AS: I would double major in Communications or Psychology. I think marketing is like the psychology of business. Psychology would be a much deeper plunge into this arena and would be very interesting.

AR: You are graduating this spring, do you have a job lined up?

AS: I do not have a job lined up, but I am do-ing a lot of interviews right now. I have inter-viewed for Wagner Edstrom, Eventa, and Nike. Keeping my fingers crossed.

AR: Any advice for freshman?

AS: Take time to have fun, but know that you’re here to get a degree. Also take Finance earlier rather than later!

AR: Who is your fashion style icon?

AS: Jennifer Aniston! Her low key simple look is always sexy and flawless. She has a way to make simple outfits look detailed and high fashion.
