# Festival-Ready Spring Collections Universal Works Joins K-Way on the New SS23 Festival Kit By Amy Duong | Published 2023-05-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-kit-1 References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/uk/2023/5/universal-works-k-way-festival-capsule-launch-official-imagery) & [universalworks](https://universalworks.co.uk/) Nottingham-based imprint [Universal Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/far-from-memphis) works in collaboration with French brand [K-Way](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kway-exhibition) on the new [Festival Kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lush-x-download-festival-kit) collection that is made for the Spring/Summer 2023 season. It kicks off with two jackets and a bag -- both of which are available in two colorways of either Sand or Dark Blue. Each one is made from a recycled iteration of K-Way's house fabric to create a lightweight and functional recycled ripstop with a retro tinge. Co-Founder of Universal Works David Keyte speaks about the new collection, noting that “It might be sunny with clear skies, but a sudden downpour is practically guaranteed, so it’s pieces like this that really make the whole festival experience that much more pleasant.” Image Credit: Universal Works, K-Way, [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/uk/2023/5/universal-works-k-way-festival-capsule-launch-official-imagery), [universalworks](https://universalworks.co.uk/) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 16% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Festival-ready Fashion:** The fashion industry can explore eco-friendly and functional designs for festival-goers. - **Collaborative Collections:** The trend of collaborations between brands can lead to innovative and unique products. - **Sustainable Materials:** The use of sustainable materials can create functional and eco-conscious fashion options for consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can incorporate eco-friendly fabrics and practical design elements into festival fashion collections. - **Outdoor Gear:** The outdoor gear industry can collaborate with fashion brands to create functional and stylish festival gear for outdoor enthusiasts. - **Sustainability:** The sustainability industry can explore the incorporation of recycled materials into fashion and outdoor gear for festivals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Weather-Ready Festival Fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beavertown-brewery-collection.md) - [Functional Timeless Outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soeur-x-kway.md) - [Seasonal Dynamic Outerwear Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kestin-1.md) - [seasonal spring wardrobes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/british-watersports-collegiate-prep.md) - [Summer-Centric Lifestyle Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-u-4.md) - [Climbing-Inspired Capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topologie-x-universal-works.md) - [Middle Eastern-Inspired Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/act-ii-collection.md) - [Versatile Summer-Ready Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marmot-1.md) - [Breathable Festival Fabrics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nobis.md)
