do you know where effy got all her outfits? also where can i find effy outfit dupes?

102: Effy’s rave dress was made by customising 2 dresses: one from Oasis and the other a vintage one from a charity shop.

206: Her “death of the bunny girl” tee is from Psycho Bunny.

207: Effy’s underwear was from Primark and Marks & Spencer.  Her striped jeans in this episode are from phunky phish.

301: Effy’s bag is from Claire’s Accessories, her necklaces are vintage, her boots are Sancho, and her dress is from Tom Tailor- “Effy’s dress started off life as a slightly more modest party dress by Tom Tailor, we hacked about 10 inches off the hem, chopped the sleeves off, boiled it and dip dyed the hem- only then did it truly look like it belonged in Effy’s wardrobe.”

302: Her leather jacket is from a “dodgy” leather shop in Bristol, and I think it continues to be the same leather jacket for the duration of the series. Her maroon dress is from Concrete.

304: Effy’s dress is the Doll Dress from the brand We Walk, and the image on it is Times Square.  It was purchased from TopShop and some slight alterations were made to it.  The pajamas were of course handmade.

305: Effy’s first dress was the “Doll Dress” from the brand We Walk, also sold as the Topshop City Skyline Dress in TopShop Unique collection. The dress in the pub was by Religion.  Her “I deserve this” t-shirt (the one with the bunny when she’s with Cook) is by Iron First.

306: Effy’s pink and black ladybug dress was by People’s Market.

307: The winking eye shirt is from TopShop.

308: The “Sid and Nancy” shirt is from TopShop. The wafty chiffon dress is by People’s Market and has woodland creatures on it. Her sweater is from TopShop.  Her jacket is the “dodgy” one, although I’ve seen people (on the internet, not Edward) say that it’s either from Urban Outfitters, TopShop, or Zara.

404: Effy’s headband is handmade.  Her top is the Sequin Cowl Neck Tank Top from Ashish.  Her shoes are Doc Martens.

405: The bloodshot eyes t-shirt is by Horace and the jewel encrusted vest at the party is by Ashish.  The print dress is from A Thousand Reasons. For her outfit in the park, the dress is from Primark, customized with sleeves made from an H&M scarf, Doc Marten boots, and a TopMan hoodie.

407: Effy’s top under her blazer is TopShop.  The blazer is a tailored boy’s tuxedo jacket from the forties (found at Portobello Market), and the enamel badges on it are a mix of kitsch badges and Russian Revolutionary pins.  She wears Levi 501’s and Doc Marten boots when she goes to see Freddie.

Skins Fire: Virtually everything is from TopShop, except for the pink cardigan, which is H&M, and the metallic color-block dress, which was Herve Leger.

Effy’s necklaces are “a mixture of old necklaces, rosaries and cheap gold chain which were cobbled together” from various flea markets and high street shops.

In general, Edward Gibbon, the costume designer has said that, “Effy loves shopping in unexpected places - other peoples houses / old ladies wardrobes / her gran’s charity bag and then she customises with scissors and a blowtorch!” and “Effy’s clothes are from all over the place - a lot of her t-shirts/short dresses are from Kokon To Zai on Greek Street in Soho and Concrete on Marshall Street”.

In terms of where to find the outfits, you’re kind of out of luck unless you set up alerts for the items on eBay and other resale websites.  When looking for dupes, I try to describe the item as best I can (”silver sequin cowl neck top” or whatever), and then see which results are the most accurate.  It’s not a foolproof method but usually it gets pretty close.

ENVIROMENTAL SCANNING

I work for a luxury consignment store in the design district which is what I was doing all of Memorial Day weekend. But I do run the store’s social media so I put together Memorial Day themed posts based on today’s trends. Even though most of the store’s inventory is vintage, all those styles are coming back. I tailored two instagram post toward our younger clientele (4th Picture) which features an a red Herve Leger tight mini dress paired with blue (very high) Jimmy Choo Heels. The second one is the Chanel tote (3rd Picture), even though it is not red, white or blue themed I thought it is a great bag since totes are trending for summer. The other two posts were tailored more towards our older clientele, (2nd Picture) which featured a Valentino shirt dress and red Manolos. The Valentino shirt dress its great to throw over a pair of shorts or jeans and the Manolos have a much much shorter heel than the Jimmy Choos. For my last instagram post of the weekend (1st Picture) I featured our red and blue Hermes Birkins. The owner (my boss) came up with the concept of the store revolving around the bag, especially Birkins. These bags might not fit a trend but they are always in style and always a classic. Over the weekend I saw a lot of customers dressing casual, lots of jean shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, sneakers, and sandals. I did notice a few brightly colored t-shirts and sandals which I thought were on trend for summer.
