After months of bundling up, the excitement of getting dressed up has returned with the sunshine. With wedding season underway and summertime events glimmering on the horizon, social calendars are filling up. Weddings, birthdays, races and more, there are many reasons to get dressed up this summer.
To save you the headache of finding a cost efficient and sustainable way for event dressing, see below 3 solutions which are full to the brim with new-season gems that are sure to tick all the boxes.
Rent Your Event Outfit
Renting will open new horizons to your fashion style. Renting a designer dress or accessory for a special occasion is a way to try out something new for a fraction of its retail cost and without the commitment of buying. As an example, we styled for our beautiful client in a full rented look for her gala event -an Elie Saab black embellished gown on the platform Front Row and a Bottega clutch bag on Cocoon Club.
“Deni left me speechless with this rental event dressing experience. Not only it is cost efficient and sustainable but it also allowed me to try a beautiful designer gown without adding up to the collection I already have sitting in my wardrobe. I will definitely consider renting for a future event or theater evening.”

Shop Pre-Loved
Once upon a time, the notion of luxury was inseparable from that idea of newness. But now? The high-end resale market has completely transformed the modern shopping experience, making preloved fashion and accessories just as covetable as the latest collections, and giving consumers the opportunity to own rare, lower carbon footprinted and authentic pieces with stories of their own to tell.
Style Notes: You can purchase this gorgeous Needle & Thread dress and white strap sandals via our Depop page now. Dreamy!
A perfect timing as we run our own Depop shop featuring a selection of preloved clothes & accessories. Getting and selling preloved pieces by some of the most iconic legacy fashion brands from clients and photo shoots, we are making sure secondhand never feels second best, and encouraging you to look at circular shopping in a whole new light.
