Students pulled out all the stops at this year's Juice Jam. From leopard to neon to denim on denim, the music festival gave students an excuse to show off this season's biggest trends while rocking out to their favorite bands.
While New York Fashion Week was finishing up in NYC, an important day in fashion was happening here in Central New York, as Syracuse students dressed in their festival-finest for the annual back-to-school Juice Jam Festival Sunday at Skytop Field.

When he read out-loud a selection from "Victory Lap" –- the first short stories from the critically acclaimed collection Tenth of December (2013) –- his exaggerated mimicry and comical voice inflections amused audience members.
