Catwalk Trends From Ebay
This week’s fashion fragments are about creating catwalk looks from second-hand or vintage clothing.
We've taken six current catwalk trends that will be continuing into next season and provided an alternative from ebay. Wherever you shop for vintage - Vinted, Depop or your local charity shops, it’s totally possible to create a high fashion wardrobe from second-hand clothing. You don’t have to buy a lot, just one or two pieces that capture the look. Less is always more!
Happy shopping!
