The importance of festival dressing becomes clearer as each year goes by  with a raft of major brands and retailers creating festival-specific ranges. And their efforts are given an extra boost by a stream of media coverage during the summer months.

Smiley and Brekka are clearly oping to capitalise on this trend and have created a capsule collections that leverages the former’s undeniably deep roots in festival style and Brekka’s reputation for strong outdoor-inspired fashion and accessories.

The collection features cagoules, backpacks, socks and hats, which all incorporate an allover print of the Smiley icon.

The company has been working with Brekka for over four years now and Smiley CEO Nicolas Loufrani said it would be taking it “to the next level by involving [Brekka] in our festival activations this summer.”
