"This outfit is a good example of my day-to-day uniform," Diamond says. "Leather leggings, a loose tee and a blazer with tons of my favorite accessories."

"These glasses are for fun," says Diamond of her nonprescription RetroSuperfuture (retrosuperfuture.com) specs. "Although, I'm due for a new pair of reading glasses, so I'll probably just change over the lenses [on this pair]."

Diamond explains her pin: "It's the logo for Psychic TV. I got it at one of their shows."

Though her necklace looks like handcuffs, it's actually a broken Lanvin piece.

"The cuff is by a friend of mine, Eddie Borgo (eddieborgo.com)," Diamond says. "It was the first piece of his jewelry that I ever bought at a trunk show a couple of years ago."

"I wear mostly silver jewelry," Diamond says of her Pamela Love rings. "I like the way black and silver look together."

Diamond's legs look especially elongated in fitted black Balenciaga leggings, tucked into black Balenciaga boots.

"This is the more feminine side of my look," Diamond says. "I'm obsessed with this [shade of] pink right now."

Diamond gets girly in a Proenza Schouler top, a Rick Owens mesh tank and chiffon jacket, an Olivier Theyskens for Nina Ricci skirt and Wolford tights.

"I have a lot of tattoos, probably too many to name," Diamond says. "But a few are the diamond on my wrist, for my name, and a tiny one behind my ear. I have two Nick Cave tattoos, "let love in" on my collarbone and "tender prey" on my rib cage. I recently got an Edward Gorey--inspired bat inked behind my left ear."

This particular piece was inspired by a flame," says Diamond of her long Peppercotton necklace.

The DJ layers outerwear with two Rick Owens jackets---a basic one peeks out from a more elaborate chiffon version. An Obesity & Speed tank, Alice + Olivia shorts and Jean-Michel Cazabat boots rounds out the ensemble.

"This is an outfit I would wear to deejay or to go out for the night," she notes. "The NYC label Obesity & Speed (obesityandspeed.com) tank was made by my friends Lyz Olko and Josh Conner. I appear in their lookbooks."
