Want a Piece of Hilary Barry (‘s Wardrobe?) Your Chance to Dress Like a Celeb is Here – and It’s for a GREAT Cause!

The Designer Wardrobe Celebrity Sale is here!

Ever watched Seven Sharp and thought, ‘Damn, that Hilz Baz always looks on POINT!’ (me, every time).

You’re in luck then, because you could be getting your hot little mitts on some of New Zealand’s favourite celebs’ favourite fashion pieces as part of Second-Hand September.

Designer Wardrobe – the app that lets you buy and sell pre-loved pieces – has teamed up with one of our favourite charities, Dress for Success for the Celebrity Designer Wardrobe Sale on its marketplace from September 16 – September 30. Celebs such as Hilary, Toni Street, The White Lotus star Morgana O’Reilly, country artist Kaylee Bell and Miss Universe New Zealand Diamond Langi, as well as celebrity stylist Sarah Stuart, have donated stuuuuning items, which have been added to the sale today (unfortunately we can confirm that Hilary’s contribution does have shoulders).

Brands such as Gucci, Karen Walker and other jazzy labels are included and all proceeds from the celeb sale, as well as $1 from every 10 listings added to Designer Wardrobe during the celeb sale period, will be donated to Dress for Success (up to $3000).

Aidan Bartlett, CEO of Designer Wardrobe, says: “Bringing Second Hand September to New Zealand, we want to raise awareness about the importance of shopping more consciously by extending the life of items that have already been loved. For example, just an extra nine months of wear can reduce an items carbon footprint by up to 10 per cent.

“September is an ideal time to do just that, as it’s a month typically filled with major fashion events that take place around the world. In New Zealand specifically, it’s also a time when many will transition their wardrobes from winter to spring.

“Together, with the help of some well-known celebrities, we want to collectively highlight why buying pre-loved fashion offers a smarter way to shop… we want to encourage New Zealanders to rethink how and what they buy and embrace re-wearing, reselling, and repurposing fashion pieces that may otherwise sit unworn or unused in the back of a wardrobe collecting dust.

“And let’s not forget – whilst doing all of the above, we’re also raising funds for the incredible work that Dress for Success Auckland does.”
