Fashion and music converged during Reggae Month in a spectacular display at the French Embassy’s annual Jam’ in France concert, where reggae rhythms set the tone for a night of cultural synergy.

The evening’s fashion was an effortless fusion of Parisian chic and Jamaican flair, ranging from laid-back island cool to avant-garde ensembles. The flowing Afrocentric prints, edgy streetwear, and crisp linen tailoring, all demonstrated the relaxed yet electric energy of the event. Something Extra has the highlights.
