The Designer Jumble Sale - Wednesday 22nd September, London W1
You may or may not be aware that right now it's London Fashion Week ; a maelstrom of shows, parties, tweets, live-streams, 'midi-pleats', 'layering', 'referencing', 'pastiche', 'fringing', etc.
Heady times.
I like to juxtapose the buzz with a sunday afternoon spent in Nandos in the 02 Centre on Finchley Road while my husband recovers from ill-advised sunday exercise over a double chicken burger. (Mine's a single - tis Fashun Week after all...)
In among the catwalks and the parties one truly gripping event stands out. The Designer Jumble Sale (in association with On|Off during London Fashion Week and organised by Abigail Chisman, former Editor-in-Chief of Conde Nast Online) will be home to dazzling range of designer pieces, all donated in aid of the MSF Pakistan Floods Appeal. A winning formula; spectacular fashion at spectacular prices for an extremely important cause.
Highlights include:
- a charity auction featuring a burgeoning array of tantalising designer pieces including a brand new Christian Louboutin bag, a John Galliano dress worth £2,000, a Roland Mouret Galaxy Dress (donated by dot.com entrepreneuse Martha Lane Fox), a limited edition David Downton print donated by the Fashion Illustration Gallery and much much more
- an aftershow party, bumbling with Fashion Week folk
- a designer raffle with items worth thousands of pounds
- a vast spread of designer clothing and accessories all selling for a song (Joseph Shift Dress £19, Mulberry Bags from £60, Sass and Bide Skirt £20)
- and ....drum roll ... a certain something from us at Black.co.uk - our best-selling BrightByBlack Babylon Scarf worth £99.
If you're in London on Wednesday, make sure to pop and pick up a bargain for an excellent cause.
