Model Lorena Angjeli (pictured above in one of my designs) is one of those intriguing, rare spirits one rarely comes across. Beautiful, intelligent, and charming, and incredibly stylish – she’s pretty much the whole package. I recently got the chance to pick her brain – her likes, dislikes, and inspirations – and thought I’d share with you all! (For more interviews like this, go to haleh.tv)

7) Are you a shoes or bags girl? Or both?

8) Describe your style.
I like to mix old and new. Love vintage shopping. I usually wear clothing that is unusual. I think that everyday should be a dress up party. Fashion should not be taken so serious. I love expressing what I feel through my clothing. It’s the best way when you don’t want to say it with words!

9) Where have you been going out lately?
I love going to fun fashion events and taking pictures. I have had a super good camera for a while and I’m putting it to use now taking pictures at events. I always get weird comments though such as “Aren’t you suppose to be on the other side of the camera.” I love taking pictures of people, candid ones especially

10) What are you grateful for?
I’m grateful for having an amazing family, that has helped me through everything. My family is my world. I am also grateful for having such an amazing life. I truly feel blessed.
