The 2016 Jazz Age Lawn Party Took Us Back to The 1920s

ESSENCE was on the scene on Governor's Island over the weekend, which was transformed into a world of flappers, foxtrotting, and old world opulence. Attendees went all out with their outfits, incorporating vintage clothing and accessories. They laid out picnics and sipped on St. Germain Cocktails and danced into the sunset. Check out all our fave looks here!
