Last week, i-D joined forces with Marc Jacobs to celebrate the intersections of art and sound at Miami Art Basel. The night began with a dinner curated by Ghetto Gastro, and a toast to their new cookbook, Black Power Kitchen. Guests then moved outside into the warm Miami air for sets by They Hate Change, 454 and Pig the Gemini, before the fiesta ended with an explosive performance by JPEGMAFIA, who jumped from the stage directly into the audience, bringing the energy up to full tilt. Of course, our guests also brought serious fashion energy, many dressed to impress in the latest pieces by Marc Jacobs’ Monogram.
Photographer Karl-hens Pompilus documented the evening, snapping shots of partygoers as they welcomed the weekend. We pulled a few of them aside to talk about what’s inspiring them most right now, and their favourite fashion rules to break.
