In World 44, a group of people base their fashion on books and book characters. A subculture of people within this group take inspiration from the Rainbow Magic fairy books and take on a fairy character each year. This Instagram is owned by the leaders of the subculture as a page of inspirations and highlights of the best fairy fashion. The clothing in this subculture is swapped around, this helps with sustainability. The people within this subculture take inspiration from a different fairy each year. Once the year is done, they pass on their clothing to another person who will be choosing that fairy for the next year.
