Fashion has levelled up and you’re invited!

Step into a high‑energy VR design studio with Holly New, where teenagers create bold, futuristic looks for their own digital avatars. In this fast‑paced workshop, young designers experiment with colour, texture, and form in ways the real world can’t match, no needles, no sowing machines, just pure imagination. After the Festival, every creation will be transformed into a show‑stopping virtual fashion show, bringing designs to life on a dynamic online catwalk. It’s creative. It’s cutting‑edge. Its fashion reimagined for the metaverse.

Perfect for you people who love style, gaming, tech, or trying something completely new.
