1 Why are we talking about this?
Fashion has taken centre stage at the 40th London Fashion Week. It was held between Friday 13 th and Tuesday 17th September.
1 Why are we talking about this?
This year’s event opened with the eBay Endless Runway, where iconic pre-loved styles were shown off on the catwalk.
Pre-loved fashion also took centre stage as Vinted collaborated with Oxfam for the Style for Change Runway event. This comes after Vinted made a profit for the first time as pre-loved becomes more popular.

Why are we talking about this?
So, could pre-loved clothes become more popular than buying new?
You’ll be voting Yes or No on this VoteTopic question at the end of the lesson. And yet, Britain throws away more clothes than any other country in Europe. On average, each person sends around 35 items per year to general waste, rather than selling or donating to charity.
2 Back in fashion
Whether it’s through an online platform, a charity shop or a high street vintage store, more of us are buying pre-loved fashion.

Now’s
your
chance to vote on: “Could pre-loved clothes become more popular than buying new?”
Yes
If you want to show off your eco credentials, you’ll be into pre-loved.
You can get some really expensive pieces in vintage and charity shops that you wouldn’t be able to afford otherwise.
If skinny jeans are the next big thing, adults have been donating them to charity shops for years.
The power of fast fashion is that it's cheap. It’s bad for lots of people, but good for our wallets.
I just feel funny about it, it’s a personal choice. I want to be wearing new.
Once we’re all trying to get those hidden gems, there will not be enough to go around.
No
