00:00I love fashion, I love putting outfits together and I've never really had the
00:04opportunity to be anywhere near something like this so hope I don't mess
00:08it up and yeah just grateful man so peace. Choosing half of your next
00:13wardrobe secondhand could save the same amount of carbon emissions as flying
00:16around the world 17,000 times so it really does make a difference and also
00:21there's a lot of joy to be discovered and even if something isn't brand new
00:26it's still new to you. I think it's really important that we see secondhand
00:31everywhere and I think the catwalk is so influential and it really plays that role
00:36in showcasing the secondhand pieces. It feels so amazing to be part of the show
00:41like this outfit you wouldn't even know it's secondhand it looks absolutely
00:46stunning so I'm just feeling like yeah a bit honoured to be able to rock this and
00:49go on the catwalk. The point of the show is to really highlight how fabulous
00:54secondhand clothes can be how you know how much in fashion it can be and how
01:00accessible it can be. Yeah the inspiration was to do different decades so to
01:06highlight that you can be whoever you want to be if you're 17, 80s, 90s and so
01:12it's really like celebrating the decades in style. The cape is made from 15 items of
01:17secondhand clothing and a secondhand quilt that were all found for Oxfam's
01:21warehouse. This kind of project is like a dream project because you get the idea of
01:26working with secondhand materials which is something that I feel very strongly
01:29about. I love the idea of being given the materials that have already had a
01:34previous story, they've already had a history and then creating them into
01:37something else. Big up Oxfam and go shop secondhand. Love ya!
