Bay Garnett | Amanda Wakeley Style DNA Podcast

This week on Style DNA I go on a thrifting style journey with the brilliant Bay Garnett. British stylist, editor, author, and long standing champion of second hand fashion. Often called the Queen of Thrift, Bay is known for her eclectic, vintage infused styling and her belief in the creativity and sustainability of re-wearing clothes (yes to that!). She began her career at Cheap Date magazine cheekily swapping designer names for thrift stores (think Salvation Army for Saint Laurent!) before becoming a Contributing Fashion Editor at British Vogue, styling the now-iconic Kate Moss thrift shoot with Juergen Teller. Since then, Bay has spent over 25 years championing vintage fashion, working with legendary photographers from Bruce Weber to Glen Luchford. She co-founded Second Hand September with Oxfam and continues to advocate for sustainable style… did you know 13 million pieces of clothing go into UK landfill every week? Bay also supports Smart Works, helping women prepare for job interviews with confidence and style. Right now, she’s curated her ultimate charity shop ‘The Village Attic’ at Bicester Village, with all proceeds going to Smart Works, if you’re nearby, it’s not to be missed and open for the next month… Thank you Bay for being such a great guest... do like and subscribe for more.
