LONDON — The international charity Oxfam teamed with Vinted, the secondhand e-commerce site, to stage a show of pre-loved clothing during London Fashion Week. Styled by Bay Garnett, it featured models including musician Sam Ryder; presenter and activist Katie Piper; campaigner Munroe Bergdorf, and costume designer Sandy Powell.

“This show proves that choosing pre-loved isn’t just the future, it’s the ‘now’ and it’s making a real difference,” Garnett said. “Wearing secondhand clothes is a badge of honor that we should all be proud to wear.”

Piper said that as a mother, she wanted to set “a positive example for my children, and others, about the power of shopping sustainably. By embracing secondhand style, we can all make a real difference, and prove that caring for the environment can be both meaningful and stylish.”

The event was the focal point of Oxfam’s Secondhand September campaign, which is now in its seventh year. This season’s theme is “Dress for the World You Want,” and the campaign aims to underscore the environmental cost of fashion while celebrating the creativity and individuality that come with wearing secondhand clothing.

The runway showcased reinterpreted looks from across the decades, ranging from zoot suits to 1970s flower power. Every outfit on the catwalk is available for purchase on Oxfam’s online shop on Vinted throughout September.

Garnett has long supported Oxfam’s involvement with the fashion world. She was behind the charity’s clothing and accessories pop-ups at Selfridges, which were located on the second floor of the London store, alongside the European luxury brands.

After the opening of the first pop-up in 2020 Garnett said it was the right place for those secondhand gems to be. “These clothes have all the elements of those from the big luxury brands — but at Oxfam prices,” she said.
