Fashion Week descends on New York City at the beginning of every fall, but New York is already a playground of street style for the fashion-conscious. Up-and-coming fashion photographer Malike Sidibe set up one of his popular pop-up portrait booths in SoHo last week to capture people in their own personal street style for The Undefeated. The best part of this show? No ticket needed.
