We spoke to Reggie Seigler early in the week and he wasn’t quite honest with us. He said this year’s FunkFest2K18 had plenty of music,but that there would be no fashion show. So you can imagine our surprise when @zappband took style and decorative details to new heights during the show. All throughout their sonically funky set, the band changed clothes more times that we saw Luther Vandross do during a show at The Cap Center (DC) back in the day. Shout out to Lester Troutman‘s wife. If she leaves the band she had a big-time future in producing fashion or award shows. . . . #whitesuits #zootsuits #lightsuits #siflookbook #hats #afros #zappnation #fashionshowatafunkshow #localmusicscene #styleiseverything #theycametheyplayedtheyconquered #theycametheydanced #neverbeenfunkedoverlikethisbefore #partyoverhere #onthefunktour #tbt #funkfestfashionweek #thismuchfunshouldbeillegal #funkalwayshasfashionsense #clapforzapp #funkfest2k18
