The Best Street Style Photos From Miami Art Basel

Fashion as art

by nylon

Art and style come together during Art Basel in Miami. Fashion is, after all, art you wear on your body.

We hit the street of the Magic City in search of the coolest, most colorful, and awe-inspiring looks. Think of it as the best of Fashion Week without all the hubbub of shows and the inane question about how your fashion week is going. (We'd be mildly rich if we had a dollar for how often we hear that during NYFW.) Get lost in the daydream of hues and textures ahead, because the cold and dreary weather in New York has left us with a famine of sartorial color and playfulness.

BRB! Getting lost in this optical illusion of a look.
