Designers vs the Op Shop

If I hear one more fashionista use the words vintage, retro or electic then they deserve to fall off a catwalk in their Jimmy Choos. BUT, the brainchildren at the Ted Noffs Foundation have come up with a new take on the humble Op Shop that not only helps the style-hungry to look hot, but also keeps kids off drugs & alcohol in the process!

Onenoffs, opening in Randwick this month, will send the second-hand clothes it receives from the public to up-and-coming Sydney fashion designers to customise, before they are sold at the store. With the majority of the proceeds going to the Ted Noffs Foundation, designer-to-watch Kate Hurst has already put her name to the cause.

And if designer op-shop clothes don't excite you enough, Onenoffs will have an art feature wall attacked by a new artist each month, and special in-store events in the pipleine... with talk of hair-cut nights! Clearly the one-stop-shop for your next reinvention.
