What’s that old adage? If you want to know what the kids are wearing, go to Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival. After a four-year hiatus, the sold-out festival came back with a lineup featuring the likes of Ice Spice, the Hillbillies (a.k.a. Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem), Fuerza Regida, Kali Uchis and SZA this past weekend, luring everyone cool and under the age of 25 within a 5,000-mile radius (and far beyond). In the spirit of their patron saint — the festival’s founder, Tyler, the Creator — the crowd’s fashion was just as integral to the experience as the music at Dodger Stadium. From 10-year-old Tyler cosplayers, to crafty homemade conversation pieces, to gorpcore enthusiasts in the name of “camp†— Camp Flog Gnaw saw it all in terms of style.
