For thirty years Pitchfork have been at the forefront of music discovery and, since then, they have not only become global tastemakers but trendsetters. Leaving its stateside home of Chicago for one weekend only, Pitchfork Music Festival came to culture capital Paris. Boasting a line-up of big hitters and up-and-coming acts the city was taken by storm. Photos courtesy of Best Fit's Penny Paschali, Vincent Arbelet and Alban Gendrot.
