With fast fashion contributing to 92M tons of textile waste each year, circular fashion is more important than ever. ♺ For eBay's ‘Twiggy Full Circle’(which won the top prize at this year's Annual Association of National Advertisers Reggie Awards 🏆), the EssenceMediacom team strategically partnered with Vogue to prove that one can be both fashionable and sustainable. 🔍They circled back over 100 years of Vogue’s archives and discovered that almost everything in the pages of Vogue could be sourced on eBay, today. To promote sustainable luxury fashion that’s pre-owned and vintage, EssenceMediacom invited Twiggy back to Vogue to recreate her iconic shot from 1967 with the same vintage accessories found on eBay. Twiggy Full Circle appeared in the October issues of Vogue and on social, then Twiggy walked the Vogue World, London red carpet to launch Fashion Week in her recreated eBay look.    To bring it full circle, the accessories from the campaign were auctioned off on eBay in support of sustainability and the Canopy Planet Foundation.   A huge congratulations to our teams, clients, and partners at Condé Nast for this incredible recognition of breakthrough work.
