This week on the Lower East Side, nearly 2,000 punks, teens, men in suits, and even grey-haired individuals gathered for the Pin and Patch Show at Chinatown Soup gallery, showing real-life dedication to the enamel pin trend that’s taken off on Instagram by patiently waiting in a line that stretched down the block. Luckily, that just meant more time to show off their merch before getting inside to the designs displayed by ten New York pin brands, organized by Strike Gently Co. See their best street style looks, here.
