\"\"<\/a>Emma, who helps run the Internet\u2019s numero uno fashion recycling website, contacted me to ask if I could imagine opening my wardrobe and choosing from over 10 million outfits? Of course I replied with enthusiasm and she said “welcome to the future of Bigwardrobe.com<\/a><\/strong><\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Emma explains that it’s like a small environmentally-friendly version of eBay<\/em><\/strong>. Yet the merchandise is strictly apparel with three categories of men, women, kids. Love the tailored coat offering pictured.<\/p>\n

Fashion magazines, such as Vogue<\/em><\/strong>, Cosmopolitan<\/strong><\/em> and Elle<\/strong><\/em>, \u2015 plus New York Times<\/strong><\/em> and The Daily Telegraph<\/strong><\/em>, praised Bigwardrobe.com<\/strong> in print, about the clothes swapping fashion phenomenon, \u2015 as though it were a standing ovation for the times. Marie Claire<\/strong><\/em> published, “It’s everything we want to be right now \u2013 ethical, environmentally friendly and fabulous!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Mid September Emma said that more than 125,000 pre-loved items were swapped or sold on the site, and that they built a strong international following with members in over 100 countries. That was just the women’s category!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>But that’s not all. In addition to swapping, read about The Big Swish<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. That’s an organized program where clothes are brought to the venue for traveling swish events. Everything left over is donated to Cancer Research UK.<\/p>\n

There is a huge and growing global movement to recycle fashion – which Bigwardrobe.com is pioneering, so check it out. Perhaps other countries will follow their motto: Stop clothes shopping, start clothes swapping<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n
