World 4 is about the Friday fashion statements and the build up to the weekend that gives us hope for the week. Foliage based trends are here to stay thanks to Morrissey and his band, The Smiths. Community gardens, floral prints and bouquet gifts all grew in popularity due to Morrissey’s influence; this indie festival that is inspired by the famous flower, the gladioli. The festival purely emphasises the beauty of nature and involves creative earth related activities such as flower crown making, natural dyeing workshops and garment fixing tents. Guests are encouraged to wear second hand, handmade and natural garments to promote a sustainable and natural fashion future.
