Wonderfully Distracted: AFRO

If you haven't heard about it yet...

Over this glorious weekend there were many things happening around the world, in fashion, business, music, and of course some things that didn't happen. Something that did happen in our beloved Brooklyn, New York was AFROPUNK FEST

AFROPUNK is an influential community of young, gifted people of all backgrounds who speak through music, art, film, comedy, fashion and more. Originating with the 2003 documentary that highlighted a Black presence in the American punk scene, it is a platform for the alternative and experimental. Remaining at the core of its mission are the punk principles of DIY aesthetics, radical thought and social non-conformity. AFROPUNK is a voice for the unwritten, unwelcome and unheard-of, redefining the urban experience.

And that is exactly what happened. A gathering of everyone near and far that shared their mutual love for fashion, music, art, film and just being themselves. It is a festival stepping out of the ordinary and one to watch how it will influence our culture and generation. There was a big fashion presence which was our favorite to watch, so many looks pushing boundaries and nothing from a runway show you've ever seen before.

The next tour dates are in Atlanta on October 3rd till the 4th and in Paris next year (which we are just dying to see happen)! Here are our favorite pictures, there would be a million if possible but that's why Instagram exists!
