Party outfits tend to have a very short life but, according to a recent survey, more Brits are going to shop second-hand to impress on Christmas and New Year's Eve.

The fashion industry, like a big vehicle, produces a considerable amount of CO2 emissions. Shopping second-hand can reduce the issue, Oxfam says.

Second Hand September made its appearance on the catwalk of the London Fashion Week with fashion's rising star Harris Reed showcasing his unique collection made with Oxfam clothing. 

As we head into September Actress Sienna Miller has been announced by Oxfam as the headliner for their #SecondHandSeptember campaign to raise awareness about the harmful effects fast fashion clothes that are produced in high volume and at relatively low cost to the consumer – have on the planet.
