Neatly folded piles of jeans blanket the floor of a small walk in closet. Meet Joe Cubiotti: a senior at Syracuse University who loves jeans. He currently owns about 70 pairs, he said.

This self-taught makeup maven plays with bright colors, hoping for a bright future.

She wears her pale skin bare on this rainy afternoon after class.

Recent SU graduate Emilie Shapiro created her own line of jewelry and accessories.

Emilie Shapiro always had a knack for creating things with her hands. And by using that skill, Shapiro turned jewelry making from a hobby into a career.

While working toward her degree in metalsmithing, Shapiro developed a jewelry-making business that started in her dorm room during her freshman year. 

As interest grew, Shapiro expanded beyond selling directly to classmates and to having her merchandise sold in the Schine Bookstore, her sorority Alpha Phi, various online independent designer websites as well as from her own online store.
