If there's one thing that we learned from the success of Hester Street Fair's rad summer marketplace, it's that our city really loves a street fest—especially when fashion is involved. As predicted, this past weekend's Connected Fashion Fest was tons of fun and just what we needed to distract from the (ridiculously) scorching heat.

In addition to live street art by Ironlak and some ping pong action, booths were generously stocked with killer scores from a handful of cult-favorite local designers, include dangerously high platforms by UNIF and oh-so-'90s sweaters by The Cobrasnake.
