Designer clothes for less

I know it's London Fashion Week and I should be posting on it, but I'm extremely busy with my uni work that I can't put together the images and write my opinion on every catwalk show, I will do everything at the weekend.

I decided to suggest a few places where to get designer clothes for less. There are three very good websites that are 100% reliable, two of them sell past seasons clothes, the other one is second hand and vintage clothing. 



YOOX

These guys have a LOT there, and some really good pieces of clothing that could be considered as classics, there is some stuff which is quite old fashioned without being vintage, just old, but if you look well, they get last season's clothes pretty quickly and in several sizes as well. Handbags aren't their strongpoint, since I think they must fly as soon as they get on the website.
Moschino Cheap & Chic Jacket £319, Just Cavalli trousers £135, Michael Kors top £195, Raoul handbag £135, Vivienne Westwood purse £180


The Outnet
theoutnet.com

This is Net-a-Porter's child, and like parents with children, Net-a-Porter gives the outnet what it's not using (or selling) anymore. The clothing is not too old but because it arrives on the website pretty soon after the sales, everything is sold pretty quickly and you're left with the not-so-good stuff. The good thing about this website is that they also hold a sale, so prices get really low.
Marni jacquard coat £445, Carven print shirt £120, Dolce & Gabbana £330, Anya Hindmarch tote £297.50, Alexander Wang shoes £298, Valentino brooch £197.50, Linda Farrow Luxe £189


Vestiaire Collective

This is a great website to find vintage designer clothes, and unlike ebay and those dodgy websites, the pieces you purchase go through a sort of "quality control" in which they determine if the condition of the piece matches the condition in the description, and, most importantly, they check that whatever you buy is authentic, that's what makes it reliable. There is a great load of Chanel and Hermés bags (although always pricy, you can't get that for cheap!). Anyway, I am in love with that Chanel dress below.

Chanel earrings £215, Chanel dress £560, Chanel flats £172, D&G leather Jacket £239, Kenzo bag £370, Hermés beret £215, Sonia Rykiel sunnies £86

 There is another good website which I checked but didn't have the time to put images together called Covetique, similar to Vestiaire Collective, but they are based in England, not in France, the website looks slightly more professional too.
