Charity Challenge

As part of London Fashion Week‘s #CharityFashionLive event this year, Emma Slade Edmonson and her fellow style mavens at Back of the Wardrobe collaborated with the British Red Cross to recreate designer ensembles from the LWF SS15 catwalk using only charity shop finds. The trendy team recreated looks from labels such as Sibling, Holly Fulton and Jasper Conran, proving that great fashion doesn’t have to cost a fortune.

Images from the day will be on the Back of the Wardrobe site soon, but in the meantime, you can satisfy your sartorial curiosity (and pick up some stupendous style inspiration!) and watch the full film of the event here!
