Leave it to Phil Oh, the lensman behind one of our favorite street style blogs (aptly named Street Peeper), to scout out some of the best dressed folk down at Art Basel. But as Phil himself will tell you, the Miami vibe is always a far cry (not in a bad way) from the fashion scene at Paris Fashion Week or the New York City streets, for example. And few people would know better than Phil. He snapped some pics of the top style moments of Basel, and shared some thoughts with us below.
Here's what Phil had to say:
The style at Miami Art Basel isn't like Paris Fashion Week where everyone is decked out in this season's most covetable items, but is rather a fascinating mish-mash of varying styles – from high-fashion heiresses, to street-art heroes, Margiela-clad gallerists to party-circuit downtown kids. Aside from the fairs like Art Basel and NADA and gallery openings in the Design District, one of my favorite events was the MoMA PS1 event celebrating artists Ryan Trecartin and Lizzie Fitch, featuring Kanon Organic Vodka cocktails and a hilarious Kim Kardashian lookalike contest. The finale though, the Le Baron & Kanon Organic Vodka BBQ at The Standard was a great way to end the week.
