About CLUTCH:
CLUTCH is a student-run fashion magazine that was created to be the ultimate local
guide to style for the Florida State University student. The magazine was started in
fall of 2006 and although receiving immediate local recognition, reached all new
heights with it's second issue which was released during the spring 2007 semester.
Along with the excitement, more sponsors, and a growing team, CLUTCH magazine
directors decided to do something different with their second issue.

A "Cover Girl Contest" was held to find FSU's perfect Cover Girl to 'grace the face'
of the issue. The contest was a hit and many eligible ladies entered. Along with that
added dimension to the magazine, an even greater thing happened for CLUTCH
during the spring 2007 semester. MTV sought us out to get an interview with our
founder and 2007 Editor-in-Chief, Ali Kolbe. It was to be put on the air for a
fashion-themed TRL episode during late April. The taping is a three-minute story
focused on us and the magazine. To see it go to our "CLUTCH on MTV!" page. You
won't believe it until you see it!
CLUTCH magazine is an entity of the Collegiate
Merchandising Association
at the Florida State University,
therefore students must be members of
CMA to join our team.
