Second-hand fashion
Amy Wyke, a successful second-hand clothes retailer, talks about the evolution of this industry.
Amy had told me that she mostly wore purely second-hand outfits these days, so when I first saw her in her sharp, red blazer and pleated skirt, I assumed this was one of the rare days when she'd decided to dress in brand-new clothes. Surely, if they were second-hand, the red would be faded,and
the jacket would have lost its shape. However, Amy assured me that they were not. She admits,though, that she would ordinarily wear something far more comfortable and scruffy.
Asked whether she'd always been a fan of dressing second-hand, Amy said, 'As teenagers, we'd make fun of the kids who wore used clothes. It was a sign that you couldn't afford new things, and no one
wanted to admit to coming from a poor family. Whenever my mum came home with something for me, I'd refuse to wear it, even if it looked quite trendy. I was convinced that someone would somehow know e from. It might have belonged to one of my friend's siblings for all I knew!
