22 Pictures That Prove Afropunk 2016 Was A Cultural Fashion Phenomenon

Afropunk Brooklyn just concluded, leaving us with some major fashion goals.

Described as the “most multicultural festival in US”, Afropunk has always been helmed as a paradise for outrageous fashion, giving festival goers the chance to make a statement by pushing the boundary. Here, nothing is faux pas. August 27^th and 28^th saw Commodare Barry Park opens its doors to great live music and an even better audience. With legendary artists like Ice Cube, CeeLo Green, Janelle Monáe and Tyler the Creator getting their freak on, the audience had all the reasons to groove while being dressed in their unapologetic self.

Here’s a look at all the eccentricities that defined Afropunk Brooklyn 2016.
