We worked with our friends untitled (halo) to shoot some of our favorite looks from the Fall 2026 collection and talk music, inspiration, notes app poetry, and upcoming projects.
untitled (halo) is an indie rock band from Los Angeles comprised of members Ariana Mamnoon, Jack Dione, Jay Are, and Nicholas Noneman. They are known for their gritty, nostalgic sound inspired by films, real life, nature, and the culture of Southern California.
The band is currently gearing up for the release of their self-titled debut album, out November 6. In the meantime, check out their latest singles, “aimee lou wood freestyle” and “easy rider.”
