Charli XCX is wearing secondhand looks throughout her "Music, Fashion, Film" tour as part of a new partnership with Vinted, the company announced Tuesday.
Working with her longtime stylist Chris Horan, the singer has pulled vintage and preloved pieces from Vinted sellers for her touring wardrobe. Horan searched the platform using terms like "distressed," "Gothic" and "flounce," turning up finds including an early-2000s Christian Audigier piece reworked into a dress for Austin City Limits, a sheer gray blouse worn in San Diego and a black Roberto Cavalli dress worn to an Academy Gala after party in Los Angeles and at her final Las Vegas show. A floor-length Donna Karan dress has yet to appear on stage.
Charli told WWD that secondhand is central to how she dresses. "I've always loved the idea that clothes can have more than one life," she said, citing a Saint Laurent dress that had "a huge moment on stage in Paris" before she wore it to her wedding after party.
Vinted's Jessie de la Merced called Charli "the perfect partner" to inspire more people to try secondhand fashion, pointing to her long history of wearing archival pieces on stage and on red carpets.
On Nov. 16, Charli will open her closet to shoppers, with personal archive items, tour wardrobe and other pieces sourced by Horan going on sale on Vinted in the U.K., U.S. and Australia. Brands include Emporio Armani, Seven For All Mankind, ReVice Jeans, Zadig & Voltaire, Gap and R&M Leathers. Proceeds will benefit Rainbow Railroad, which supports LGBTQIA+ people facing persecution.
