On The Scene At Art Basel Miami 2016

We sent photographer Patrick Melon to hot and steamy Miami to capture the coolest moments at one of the biggest events of the year: Art Basel. Seeing all the day parties, art installations and celebrity guest appearances (well hello there, Jhene Aiko and Big Sean!) is giving us serious FOMO. Click through to see the top pics from the weekend.
