As the temperature rises (along with the drama!) in Love Island’s Winter Edition, islanders were seen letting their hair down in Wednesday's episode, at the first party of the season series - and embracing the 90s, even though most were born after…
Inspired by the era, the islanders took their pick from the shared villa wardrobe - which has been sourced by eBay’s pre-loved Fashion Stylist Amy Bannerman.
Dazzling in neon mini dresses, tie dye prints, fluffy bucket hats, cut off denim, overused bomber jacket and gorgeous, knee high boots!
One item that caught our eye was Lana who wore a white Versace dress with zip detailing. Newcomer Jessie who had a tough decision to make, also opted for the sought-after designer as she donned a stunning Versus Versace denim dress. Zara dressed to impress in a burgundy Meshki PVC co-ord - which we loved!
As for the boys? Shaq showed off his moves at tonight’s pre-loved party in a pink Levi’s vintage denim jacket, And finally Ron opted to keep it cool in a vintage Levi' sleeveless denim jacket from eBay.
Just like the Islanders, viewers at home are showing that 90s looks aren’t just for the screen, with searches soaring on eBay by 162% for neon crop tops, 53% more searches for Levis and 118% more searches for bright shirts!
On a mission to turn heads in more than one way, the items sourced from eBay are being worn in a bid to encourage shoppers to choose pre-loved first and make more conscious fashion choices to extend the life cycle of these stylish garms.
If you too fancy opting for pre-loved over fast fashion this weekend, shoppers can head to the dedicated Love Island hub on eBay UK, and get their hands on similar 90s fashion in a dedicated edit for women and men.
And best of all? Some items from the show will be available for purchase from eBay at the end of the series! So if you’ve spotted something from last night’s episode, keep your eyes peeled as it could be sitting in your wardrobe very soon!
eBay’s Pre-Loved Fashion Stylist, Amy Bannerman said: “As a 90s girl, I was particularly excited to see the Islanders all looking so stylish in pre-loved for the 90s themed party, embracing designer pieces from Versace Jeans, to Paris Texas, Palace and vintage Levis. It really does go to show the vast majority of styles and sought-after brands you can get on eBay - there really are no limits when it comes to pre-loved! The Islanders looked incredible and I loved seeing Lana wearing the same white satin Versace mini dress that Indiyah wore last season. This was my dream for the clothes to be reworn in this way, true circularity. Will’s fluffy hat is a real fashion moment for me too, especially styled with another luxury shirt!”
