Additionally, with fast fashion contributing to 92 million tons of textile waste each year, circular fashion is more important than ever. The new generations are embracing vintage fashion and feel strongly about creating a more sustainable world.

Gen Z is especially attuned to this problem: 64% of Gen Z surveyed look to shop secondhand before buying it new.

So, the challenge was—could eBay promote sustainability by establishing its own fashion credentials?

We partnered with Vogue and circled back over 100 years of their archives and discovered that almost everything in the pages of Vogue could be sourced on eBay, today.

So, to promote sustainable luxury fashion that's pre-owned and vintage, we invited Twiggy back to Vogue to recreate her iconic shot from 1967 with the same vintage accessories found on eBay.

Every detail was carefully recreated: From matching the same products from 1967, to the pose, make-up and product placements, to the final layout and design.

The integrated campaign was launched on 6 different channels: Print, Digital, Social, Livestream, Event and Film.

The hero element of the campaign was Twiggy's print recreation that appeared as a double page spread in both Vogue Magazine and British Vogue October 2023 issues. On the left, we printed the shot from 1967. On the right, we printed the recreation from 2023.

The print visual was then turned into a digital asset and spread across many touchpoints, including Vogue and Twiggy's social channels.

The 'Making-of’ video was an intimate portrait of Twiggy telling the story of how fashion goes around and comes around, appearing on Vogue and YouTube channels.

Additionally, Twiggy walked the Vogue World London red carpet to launch Fashion Week in her recreated eBay look. The global event was streamed live and garnered 92.2 million views.

To bring it full circle, the accessories from the campaign were auctioned off on eBay in support of sustainability, raising thousands of dollars for Canopy Planet Foundation, helping to support unsustainable supply chains, spark innovative low-carbon, circular solutions, and protect the world’s remaining Ancient and Endangered Forests. The campaign reached millions and helped inspire and encourage consumers to think more sustainable when shopping for clothes and accessories. Showcasing that you can still shop authentic luxury items, while also supporting the planet.

eBay made all the global fashion headlines, appearing organically in The NY Times, The Independent, Daily Mail, CNN and The Telegraph. The campaign inserted eBay and sustainability into the fashion conversation, raising thousands of dollars for the non-profit charity: Canopy Planet Foundation.

The campaign reached millions and inspired consumers to not only think more sustainable when shopping for clothes and accessories, but celebrated the fact that we featured a 73-year-old model, with comments like, "Thank you for seeing us #AgingOutLoud."

The campaign garnered: $2.5 million earned media +30% increase in positive sentiment +41% intent to shop eBay pre-owned +10.2% lift in brand trustworthiness +28.9% increase in brand awareness 34 million video views 187 million impressions
