William Banks-Blaney, founder of WilliamVintage and fashion patron for Oxfam, has lent his creative eye and inimitable style to help you discover the many treasures waiting to be found in Oxfam.
Celebrating the charity’s 70th year on the high street, Banks-Blaney has called upon the help of Jacquetta Wheeler and Guy Laroche for a new campaign to promote just how relevant Oxfam is.
“I was delighted to help support Oxfam and promote it through such a creative way. I grew up shopping at Oxfam as my mum refused to spend tons of money on expensive clothes that we were only going to grow out of,” said Wheeler. “It’s fun to be creative with your dressing and to sift through rails and find something really unique, especially if the money is going to a good cause.”
Banks-Blaney styled the shoot using clothing spanning 90 years of design.
“I wanted to show the relevance of vintage and second-hand clothing and to show how beautifully pieces from different decades can work together,” he explained.
