Oxfam opened London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2023 with a stream of pre-loved looks modelled by Love Island's Tasha Ghouri, Erin O'Connor and TikTokker Francis Bourgeois
February 17, 2023 - 17:17 GMT Tania Leslau Eclecticism is at the very heart of British fashion, so it came as no surprise that Oxfam was charged with kicking off London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2023. Celebrities, influencers and industry veterans winded through the streets of Soho to Phonica to witness models glide down the runway in pre-loved pieces - a testament to the fact it is officially out with the new and in with the old.
Bay's pioneering of pre-loved fashion is a notion shared by eBay ambassador Tasha Ghouri, who spoke exclusively to HELLO! Fashion."As a model, I've always wanted to walk at London Fashion Week, that's been my biggest goal. Also, the show was about fighting poverty and sustainable fashion, all the things that are important to me.""Even before the villa, I would shop second-hand. Each piece has a story and that's more meaningful.
"I never thought I'd be doing this. To be walking on the catwalk, and a lot of people see models as having to be perfect but it's not true. You can have a cochlear implant or be in a wheelchair. You can be anything. Me doing this tonight is showing people you're unstoppable."Oxfam Fashion Fighting Poverty was styled by thrift pioneer Bay Garnett
