Fashion week kicks off this week, so let's have a look at our favorite style event of the year: Electric Zoo! We kid, but no one can deny that the attendees of NYC's biggest EDM festival have put some serious time and effort into constructing their Zoo-appropriate looks (hey, your face isn't going to bedazzle itself). Take a peek at what the lovely fest goers sported at the Randall's Island hoedown last weekend. (And if these looks are a little too flashy for you, we've got our own, slightly more conservative list of the best festival clothing for summer.)

Beads
Well, duh. No surprise here, but just in case you were wondering, classic candy raver fashion is alive and well at Electric Zoo. Alphabet beads truly are the little black dress of ravewear.

Face masks
What exactly is this look? A rave bandit? A hypochondriac that loves to party? We're not really sure what the aim is here, but after 10 straight hours of partying, we won't argue with the decision to keep your breath contained.

Zoo Animals
There's something to be said for keeping with the theme, so we won't scold you for being a tad unoriginal. And really, who doesn't look good in cheetah print?

Animated Characters
Cowabunga, dude. A little bit of childhood whimsy is always welcome, and we much prefer cartoon and video game characters to pacifiers. Bonus points for being ballsy enough to bring a fake weapon to a major festival. (We're looking at you, Raphael.)

Flower Children
Looks like San Francisco isn't the only place you should wear flowers in your hair. And after all, what's a music festival without hippies?
