20 Faces Of Joburg Street Culture

Earlier this week we rolled out our video coverage of SA's most stylish and the international streetwear community's best dressed alike all gathered for a weekend of urban street culture at Joburg's Constitution Hill. Joining OKATV on the ground at September's annual STR CRD festival was magician behind a lens, the Expressionist (aka Anthony Bila). Our dude's tumblr has been blowing up the past couple of weeks with his incredible portraits of festival attendees. Watch our recap below and check out 20 of the coolest kids in Joburg that Anthony caught up with. For more STR CRD photos from the dapper lens of the Expressionist head to his tumblr, facebook, and twitter pages (he's dropping 10 per work week, so keep checking up!).
