Music and fashion are often unexpectedly intersectional, this intertwining of creative self-expression was especially seen in the attendees of Dead Egos Vs. The WRLD 2. Dead Egos, a music showcase dedicated to uplifting underground musical artists returned for its second installment on Sep. 24 at Lula Lounge. Organized by Griffin and Devon, the concert once again featured 10 local artists from the Greater Toronto area and featured headliner New York-based rapper slump6s

Among the high-energy crowd in the College St. venue are many who took it upon themselves to reflect their love for both music and fashion in their striking outfits. Complementary to the edgy performances on stage, the theme of monochromatic outfits completed with dazzling accessories stayed consistent throughout those in attendance. Despite the seeming absence of vibrant colours, these outfits do not fail at being complex, intentional and eye-catching.
