Street Style: AfroPunk Festival Edition

by Sonia Edwards

Every August, we get ultra-excited about the AfroPunk Festival, which takes place in Brooklyn, N.Y.C. The festival is a two-day celebration of music, fashion, art and culture. Aside from being packed with eye-popping musical performances and insanely good vibes, it’s *also* a convergence of some of the most beautiful, stylish folks on the planet. We swear you won’t find a better crowd for people-watching anywhere in the world. 

This year’s fest was full of crazy-cute outfits, colorful prints, beautiful hairdos, and fresh accessories, all of which left us feeling totally inspired. And did we mention it’s a free event? Take a look at these incredible shots, and don’t you dare miss next year’s AfroPunk! 

Special thanks to Shen Williams-Cohen for the photos. Follow him on Instagram at shendig27.
