Bring it, a new interview !
Thank you to myfashioncogitation.com for the fun interview ! (click on image above to read). The fashion establishment chooses to ignore the blogs continuing instead to give attention to a few top style sites, 2 or 3 famous bloggers, and print media. Something is off in my book, revolutions always start with DIY, and many of them are giving print publications a run for their money. Here’s to the future, and those tasteful style blogs that do it for the love. I support you.
I THINK I’M IN LOVE WITH THESE FRINGE KNEE HIGHS…
You know an accessory is good when you can take a plain wardrobe pairing, and create some other story by adding them to your ensemble.
I have cultivated an incredible knee high collection for the past few seasons. Great when transitioning from summer to fall, and fall to winter. When you just can’t give up showing your legs: when those desperate few inches of skin can make all the difference: Here’s to our favorite naughty accessory.
These are sold out everywhere, and then I luckily stumbled upon lovelylegsandintimates.com, a great hosiery site that carries a dazzling array of some pretty major tights besides these. It’s just these that I’m obsessed with now.

Paired with my current favorite low heeled boots, the Knee highs are less vampy, even if paired with a garter skirt which is separate.
Super casual with vintage PIL concert tee for running errands.
A night out on the town. I’m really over wearing heels to any parties, unless It’s a function. Anytime the knee highs are paired with any heels it’s too much, anyway. Instead opt to wear them with some majorly unsexy footwear.
Talking Dj’ing with socialscience.com
It’s fun to break on through to the nightlife side sometimes. Click on the image and read the rest of my recent dj interview with the girls over at socialscience.com.
M E E T H A L E H… WE LOVE YOUR NAME HALEH, WHAT’S THE ORIGIN?THANK YOU! IT’S A PERSIAN NAME AND MEANS EITHER HALO, OR THE MIST IN THE MOON DURING A LUNAR ECLIPSE. I KEPT HEARING ALL THESE DIFFERENT MEANINGS GROWING UP.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DJING? I’VE BEEN AWARE OF MUSIC MAKING AN IMPACT ON ME AT THE AGE OF 3., BUT STARTED DJ’ING A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO.
DESIGNING CAME FIRST TO YOU, WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START SPINNING? MY COLLECTION IS BASED ON THE INTERCHANGE BETWEEN HIGH FASHION, STREET CULTURE, AND MUSIC. I’VE ALWAYS LOVED HOW DIFFERENT MUSICIAL MOVEMENTS HAVE INSPIRED FASHION OR VICE VERSA. I ALWAYS CREATED SOUNDTRACKS NATURALLY TO CREATE A FEELING FOR EACH SEASON, SO IT SEEMED LIKE A NATURAL PROGRESSION.
Edwardian fashion is what I’m loving now
Sarah jean is in the spirit of only wearing clothes that are from another era, eccentric and have an owned quality to them. I love it when people just commit to a time period that works inherently with their looks and makes them seem as though they carry a recontextualized version of that era with them wherever they go. In this case edwardian looks inherently modern, breezy and is making me crave vintage Guinne sax eyelet dresses and a mass of curly hair to match. Throw in a neon lip to throw off the look.
SNEAKY PEEKY…
Red lights, red alert. Here is a little sneak peak of me messing around in my new space, Haleh Nematzadeh Archive and Studio. If creation is a choice, I have made mine in this bathroom, along side that cheezy ass fake christian dior tube top I just can’t seem to get rid of. Is it just me, or do any tops that say “Christian Dior” not have a very dated 90’s sex in the city kitchiness to them ?
HEY LOOK, IT’S CASSIE IN HALEH NEMATZADEH DENIM FRINGIES..

ITEM I WILL PROSTITUTE MYSELF FOR: THE VUITTON RUBBER BOOT
I never thought I would crave messy weather. I’m in hott, hotter, the hottest of pursuits, lust, whatever you want to call it over these wicked solutions to taking on rain. Before the countless knock offs, take off, (because you know they will) I’m picturing myself sloshing around to at a bunch of summer music festivals wearing these.
“Bring em’ out, Bring em’ out, Establish your Personal Style! ”
It took me a while to get clear on writing about how to instruct others to establish their sense of personal style. What was really going through my head, which seemed contrary to the topic where the following questions: At what point do you love yourself? In the clothes you wear? With that great haircut? Or when you lose those 5 naggy pounds? At what point do you decide that you accept yourself and how does that measure out in the way you present yourself to the world?
Your style is synonymous with yourself, or at least it should be. As it became clear to me in a revelation, bringing out your true personal style is really about loving yourself.
The following tried and tested few tips below can establish the facets of your expression, or who you truly are to reflect to the world to enjoy. Let’s do this without trying to change anything about you currently, as the fashion industry anciently still dictates. When you truly adore your essence, appearance becomes an effortless means to expose yourself and your truest loves daily on my personal favorite catwalk, the streets.
1) Who are you really? – This is the first and critical question that not only has to do with your style, but also will lead you towards an enriching and powerful life. It’s not a coincidence that one of the most powerful mantras is to “Know Thyself”. People often think fashion and spirituality having nothing to do with one another, but the laws of the universe affect everything accordingly and fashion is NO exception. Know thyself ladies, and the homework here is to put together a list of anything from colors, to foods, to activities, places you like to vacation. Through this exercise, you will see certain patterns emerge. For example, I love: Nightlife, high fashion, forward thinking types, revolution, music, and free spirits. Now you try it, you are also using this list for excersize #3 below.
2) Greatest hits so far- Everyone has a top 10 in their closet for various reasons. Your top 10 are the pieces you feel amazing in, reach for all the time, or just can’t seem to live without. Maybe it’s those heels that make you look super leggy, or that dress you wore with the perfect color and detailing that brings out your features. Whatever they are, there are reasons why you gravitate towards them constantly. Your work is to identify those 10 pieces that you love, and then write down why. By establishing the why, you are able to bring in more of the same for future invested purchases. You also begin to realize the patterns of why certain pieces work for you vs. others. These patterns are what also help guide you towards future purchases. For example, if you are starting to notice that you keep reaching for your trouser pants, then this cut is great going forward too.
3) Seeing is believing-I’m a sucker for vision boards, and while I know many are put off of by methods that involve tedious tasks, what you see is truly what you get. In other words, “ Seeing is believing”. Put together a vision board of everything you love in the world of style and outside of it ( use your list from excersize 1 as a recourse). This can be anything from a picture of a celebrity whose look you love (even though we at www.haleh.tv feel celebrity style is passé, we strive not to make idols of them but respect it for the sake of doing this exercise), a picture of a dream vacation destination, music you like to listen to, activities you love. This can especially be pieces that you would like to add to your “Fashion Fund” (see link below for Bella Life article on tips).

See yourself emerge through these tips. Help yourself define your style and give it a name even if it’s cheesy (for ex, urban Eco warrior, or Bollywood princess). I can’t stress enough how amazing of a life you can live when your truest of selves is exposed. Take it from my personal hero, Vivienne Westwood, the birthmother of punk who once said famously, “You always have a better life if you wear impressive clothes”.
