Oxfam and Mrs Jones launch DIY fashion competition

Oxfam’s new fashion initiative, Oxfam DIY  has teamed up with leading British stylist Mrs Jones (aka Fee Doran) to launch a fabulous DIY fashion design competition that you don’t have to be a stylista to take part in. See the fierce fashion launch party pictures here.

This is the chance you’ve been waiting for to finally sort through your pile of half customised or wrong sized second-hand garments and give them the sexy revamp they’ve been waiting for, so you can wear them with the same pride as you would a brand new item. As if you needed an excuse.

Oxfam’s DIY competition forms part of the launch earlier this month of the fashion-pack’s new ‘must do’ flagship Oxfam DIY store in Camden, London, which was designed to be the ultimate resource and destination for independent style seekers. It’s a mixture of hand made and quirky pieces that promise to be the perfect antidote to the mass produced rails of the high street which are lacking as much in personality as they are in ethics.

Oxfam’s one-of-a-kind competition, invites people to create or just customise their own unique clothing, and make the most of what they already own in a  fun, fashion-forward twist on the punky DIY attitude we’re all used to. It is encouraged to use vintage and used clothing or recycled materials to really hit the eco message home to everyone.

On top of being rewarded with your own self-satisfyingly personalised outfit, the winner will also receive a custom-made garment designed exclusively for them by Mrs Jones. If that isn’t inventive enough I don’t know what is.
