Check out the tribal-print accessories and Nike kicks in this week’s street fashion, shot at the annual Harlem Day celebration earlier this month. The daylong event, which began in 1974 and is the pinnacle of Harlem Week, turned four uptown blocks into a pedestrian mall full of live music, vintage cars, handmade crafts and food.
