Most people associate a car boot sale with waking up at a ridiculous hour to search exhaustingly for a needle in a hay stack, but this car boot has had a chic re-invention.

Fashion icons and top designers are de-cluttering their wardrobes (probably as we speak) to sell onto thrifty Londoner’s at Women for Women International’s annual #SheInspiresMe car boot event.

With designer booths from the likes of Vestiaire curated by ES Magazine's fashion director Bay Garnett and host Alex Eagle, alongside many other prominent names in fashion, this event saw 32 booming car boots raise over £159,000 last year, with all of the proceeds helping marginalized women across the world suffering from the trauma of war.

To be held in the home of London Fashion Week events, Soho’s Brewer Street Car Park, has never been a more fitting venue. £10 will give you access into the trendiest car boot sale in town - maybe the planet.

Bargains range from ball gowns and t-shirts to exclusive sample pieces and designer items from names such as Charlotte Olympia, M.i.h jeans, Hikari Yokyama and many more.
