Street Style: The Look of Life is Beautiful

You might talk about the music, the art, the food, the experiences… but at the end of it all, Life Is Beautiful is really about the people: the friends you’re there with, the new ones you make, and the emotions you share. One of the coolest aspects of Life Is Beautiful is the diversity of the crowd and how they express themselves internally as well as externally. We wanted to capture that part of this year’s festival, so we took it to the streets to talk style.
