Burning Man has risen once again in the desert of Black Rock City. While most outsiders imagine this week-long event as a drug-fueled music festival akin to a dust-caked Coachella, the 80,000 people who actually converge on the Playa know it’s far more.

And its myriad radical expression channeled through outré lewk. To offer outsiders a glimpse of the surreal beauty, we’ve compiled the best of this year’s queer Burning Man fashion.
