fashion loving members of the public can purchase Gemma Arterton’s black leather Armani dress, Rachel Weisz’s hot pink Joseph wool dress and Jessie J’s bespoke crystal-studded tour dress, raising money for a variety of high profile charities in the process.
The second annual charity sale marks the start of partywear season, with Vestiaire Collective today launching a dedicated partywear section on the site, featuring pre-loved and vintage items from some of the world’s most sought-after designers. Prices start at just £100, with all fashion items curated by the site’s style ambassador, Bay Garnett.

Fanny Moizant, UK Managing Director of Vestiaire Collective, who herself donated items said: “We are thrilled that so many leading lights in the fashion world have come out to support our annual charity initiative – this year we expect to raise thousands for charities from Barnados to NSPCC. We have a treasure trove of fashion gems on the site, and we expect many of these pieces to become valuable collectors’ items so we advise fashion hunters to come early.”
