On Saturday 28th September 2024, Lots Road Auctions hosted a consciously-couture event to celebrate the launch of Sustainable Fashion Week’s Podcast!

Style icons and advocates of all things sustainable fashion were treated to a panel discussion with SFW x Louise Gookey, a fabulous eco-runway show, a pop-up shopping experience, incredible music by DJ Lyvonne the Don, as well as some delicious drinks.The panel discussion, hosted by SFW’s Amelia Twine and Louise Gookey, featured Tasha Nickson from Soil Association Certification and Nicole Akong, upcycling advocate and former contestant on The Great British Sewing Bee.

They discussed the importance of vintage and pre-loved clothing, in a space that educated, inspired and championed pre-loved fashion. As well as providing the perfect opportunity to dive deeper into what sustainable fashion means and how to make simple but effective changes to everyday habits, Mia Brodie, Founder of Spin Preloved, curated a pop-up hub which showcased a variety of pre-loved and ethically sourced gems ranging from designer and high street brands, through to local makers, creators and artisans.

The runway show was made up of key pieces from each pop-up vendor highlighting showstopping designs catering for a range of styles, sizes and budgets, as well as a few gems featured in Lots Road Auctions’ Luxe sale catalogue.

In true SFW spirit, the show featured a truly inclusive and diverse runway of models. The lineup included TV personality Sabrina Grant, as well as industry influencers, friends, and colleagues. This diverse representation underscores our joint core belief that sustainable and vintage fashion is for everyone.

The weekend culminated in a luxury auction featuring coveted designer handbags, fine jewellery, clothing, and accessories.On behalf of the entire team at Lots Road Auctions, we’d like to thank everyone that was involved on this incredible day!
