Mary’s Living & Giving Shop in Kew for Save the Children and the Rotary Club of Kew Gardens have hosted a community celebration of circular and sustainable fashion to raise money for charity.

Over 130 guests attended a fashion extravaganza at St Luke’s Church in Kew.

It featured a curated selection of pre-loved garments donated to Mary’s Living & Giving Shop in Kew, and was the shop’s first-ever fashion show,

The event was made possible by the dedication of over 40 volunteers, whose enthusiasm and community spirit underscored the strong sense of togetherness in Kew.

Residents took to the runway, modelling outfits styled around a variety of creative themes, including Highlands & Islands with upcycled tartan and tweed, Clothes that Work at Work, Colour Blocking, Salute to Summer, Festival Funk, and Tulle & Tuxedo.

The show highlighted the diversity and style potential of second-hand fashion available at the shop. Following the catwalk, attendees had the opportunity to purchase looks from the runway, further contributing to the fundraising effort. All proceeds will go towards helping children across the UK and globe have a healthy, happy and safe childhood.
