There is nothing new to see here – in the most positive, fashionably conscious way. Today, eBay announced its inaugural Pre-Loved Fashion Week, in partnership with Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and British Fashion Council (BFC).
A live, shoppable runway show, “Endless Runway,” will feature pre-loved looks from CFDA members Ralph Lauren, Brandon Maxwell, Catherine Holstein of Khaite, and the late Virgil Abloh of Off-White. The show on Sept. 5, a day before the Official New York Fashion Week Schedule kicks off, is followed by daily drops on eBay curating the best pre-loved fashion from top designers. The London edition will take place on Sept. 12.
Curated by fashion creative Wisdom Kaye and hosted by fashion writer Liana Satenstein in New York, the Endless Runway shows are accessible to U.S. and U.K.-based shoppers via eBay Live. The Endless Runway shows will make eBay’s wide selection of pre-owned designer clothing and accessories immediately shoppable, while tapping into the global demand for circular fashion.
“New York Fashion Week showcases the best of American fashion and beyond, and only eBay can bring together such a stellar selection of vintage, archival, and coveted items from these brands,” CFDA CEO Steven Kolb said. “eBay Pre-loved Fashion Week and its Endless Runway live show connects the past, present, and future – and delivers a powerful reminder that the future of fashion is circular.”
Endless Runway will be the first entirely ‘pre-loved’ runway show at NYFW. eBay will continue to showcase its unparalleled selection by releasing ‘Daily Edits’ every day of NYFW that feature pre-owned pieces from top designers showing their new collections in New York.
“eBay has been a driving force in promoting more sustainable fashion,” said Kirsty Keoghan, eBay’s GM of Fashion. “With the launch of Pre-Loved Fashion Week, we’re showing up on fashion’s biggest stage, and demonstrating that authentic designer fashion doesn’t have to be out of reach.”
Shoppers can tune in to watch the eBay Endless Runway on September 5, 2024 at 12 PM ET exclusively on eBay Live, eBay’s live shopping platform accessible via the eBay app. The ‘Daily Edits’ of additional pre-owned pieces will be released every day from September 5 through 11 at ebay.com/pre-lovedfashionweek.
