Ladies and gentleman, feast your eyes upon the wreckage that is Jasmine Golestaneh, a musician (of course) who prides herself on a fashion sense which resembles a "semi-catastrophic" accident. In this week's edition of New York mag's Look Book, Jasmine confesses her predilection to finding garments in the street, speaking to clothing, and bossing around her bandmates. After the jump, Intern Alexis grills Rachel Hardage and Sheraz Shere for some fashionable policing.

Says Jasmine of her clothing: "It's like they're lively creatures that wind up on my body. Like this dress: I found it at a thrift shop, and it totally stood out from across the room-like, 'You are the one.'" If her dress could really talk, what would it say?

"Jasmine, Jasmine, Jasmine. This isn't working. It's not you, it's me. When I gave you that come-hither look and implied that you were 'The One,' I was just playing you, dawg. You were my one-way ticket out of that East Village thrift shop, the one that smelled like incense and gyros. You don't know what it was like, hanging there on the racks amidst hypercolor t-shirts and pleated stone-washed jeans. I didn't belong there. I got big dreams, kiddo. I'm sorry I misled you. I am."

Seems like a lot of things come to Jasmine in the night — the name of her band, the place where she should live. What else has come to her in the night?

When you find clothes in the street, you have to be prepared for repercussions. Jasmine has had several early-morning encounters with pissed-off homeless women who want their clothes back after Jasmine, ahem, 'found' them. The interactions usually end with Jasmine giving them an old bottle of wine and a used tube of toothpaste in exchange for the wardrobe items."

What's Jasmine curtseying for?>

Jasmine isn't actually curtseying. She's crossing her legs in pain. Clothes you find on the street, well, they're not always clean. Jasmine has inherited—um, how should I put this—a few 'lively creatures' from her street clothes. But it's so worth it because that dress would cost, like, $75 at Screaming Mimis."

"Sorry, I was talking to the woman behind you." Upon further probing, her dress was also heard saying "Her clothes aren't the only lively creatures on her body. Take a bath, hippie!!"

Seems like a lot of things come to Jasmine in the night — the name of her band, the place where she should live. What else has come to her in the night?

The drunken bass player from Monkey Thrash Circus 4000. Oh, sorry — you said "come TO her." Maybe the realization that red is an "angry-but-happy color". Finally, someone has the courage to expose redness for its hypocrisy. Jasmine also likes to wear her "nervous-but-pacified" yellow skirt, her "sullen-but-ecstatic" blue pants and her "gay-but-straight" pink blazer. Also, the voices. The voices always come at night.

What's Jasmin curtseying for?

It's not a curtsey, it's actually an Iranian / Latvian dance move that can only be done to dark, experimental, psychedelic folk rock music. Also, How else could she show off those sexy, albino knees?
