TopShop SwapShop
This Saturday with the Hijackers
Buy Nothing Day Action

Following the true spirit of Buy Nothing Day the following event THIS SATURDAY (29 Nov 2008) looks guaranteed to raise a smile. It will be interesting to see how a mass of self-assured, extra ethical, eco conscious, non-shoppers (plus the press and the greedy!) are received by security as they attempt to get to grips with the finer workings of a barter economy (not such a distant prospect) in Arcadia's finest capitalist venue!

TOPSHOP SWAPSHOP
2pm Sat 29th November – Topshop Oxford Street
Credit Crunch!

Ladies and Gentlemen we are proud to announce the restyling fashion mash-up event of the year! In the light of the current economic crisis and the outrage over the sweatshop conditions that most high street brands make their clothes in, the swapshop is your chance to re-vamp your wardrobe with a free conscience! Leaping away from the drudgery of big corporate fashion with it's dodgy business practices and spend spend spend attitude, the Topshop swapshop takes fashion back to it's roots.

Simply turn up at TOPSHOP on Oxford Street wearing an outfit you wish to upgrade, then on the stroke of 2, marvel as hundreds of fashion moguls offer to trade your clothes with you.

Fancy that girls jumper? Why not offer to swap your belt for it?
That boy's hat is to die for, how about a trade for your jeans?
Nice skirt, fancy trading my t-shirt for it?

After a hectic re-working of your look you can then walk proudly back onto the streets of London town with a new wardrobe and not having spent a single penny.

You can buy lots of clothes but you can't buy style.

The above event is in no way supported or condoned by TopShop. Any similarity to any brand living or dead is merely coincidental.
