On the CBS soap opera Beyond the Gates, cousins Chelsea and Kat launch a line of luxury handbags.

Here, a small sampling of some of the looks we saw while out and about at the festival.

Sekou Thornell could be considered a creative Swiss Army Knife. As the creative director and founder of Atlanta-based streetwear label Kitboys Club, he fuses apparel design, photography, and videography to exalt his earliest passion: soccer. This year, he’s a recipient of Adidas’ Honoring Black Excellence award, a program that honors the artistry and accomplishments of Black collectives and community leaders.

James Keith wanted to wear a fedora with his outfit for New Year’s Eve 2015, but he couldn’t find one that quite fit the bill. A year after he conceived his design, he finally got the hat he wanted on his head. On the back of that one fateful night—and hat—he founded his brand, Keith James.
