Witness My Revival

Thursday. One more sleep to the weekend!

This week has been all about green for us here at Witness my revival, and what better way to spend a Thursday than to share with you a way you can shop and still be eco-friendly. Enter Vestiaire Collective - a cult French online fashion community.

Vestiaire Collective solves the problem many of us have - a full wardrobe but still nothing to wear (Vestiaire meaning wardrobe, from the phrase ‘my friends’ wardrobe’). Sell your unwanted fashion pieces on Vestiaire and then spend your profits online (with so many amazing items on their site this WILL happen...sorry).

It's like vintage shopping, or searching through your friend's wardrobes - but without traipsing all over town. Vestiaire Collective has stringent quality control checks, and once each piece is sold it is checked by Vestiaire Collective's team before it is wrapped in silk paper and sent to your door. Perfection.

Our pick of the Christian Louboutin's on the site:

Last night I got a text from my best friend asking me if I wanted to go to the Christian Louboutin exhibition at the London Design Museum, and wondering aloud if we'd get away with swiping a pair for ourselves when we visited. Most unfortunately, I don't think we'd get away with the designer footwear equivalent of Grand Theft Auto, but as she probably already knew when she sent me that message I had already been planning on visiting the exhibition myself at some point.

Ever since I was given my first book of Manolo Blahnik shoe illustrations (I own every edition) and saw how the illustration of one of my mothers Manolos both corresponded and differed from the illustration, I have been fascinated by shoe design. Aside from seeing so many beautiful shoes with the iconic red sole (I really can't wait to own my own pair sometime in the distant future), I'm looking forward to seeing the design process all broken down, as the exhibition takes us from the prototype being made, through every factory process to the finished result that you can find in the worlds biggest and best department stores.

Lucozade Revive is giving away tickets to the Design Museum to see the Christian Louboutin and Designs of the Year exhibitions later in the month - keep an eye on our Twitter feed for more details.

Christian Louboutin is showing at the London Design Museum until 9th July. Find out more here.
