Buy Bjork's swan dress

Yes you better believe it... Bjork's famous swan dress is on Ebay and all proceeds will go to Oxfam. SHOWstudio and i-D magazine have been working together to create a unique fashion project in aid of Oxfam.

Celebs and some lucky public have donated fave clothes to the project. These items were customised by a team of super stylists. The clothes were then modelled by the likes of Naomi Campbell in a rather fabulous fashion show. Now all these garments are going under the hammer as part of a grand fashion auction on Oxfam's charity section of Ebay. This coincides with London Fashion week. The auction allows bidders to compete for their fave pieces, and they will also receive info on the story behind the item they have won.

From 22nd August to 9th September you can see a preview of some of the auction clothes in the window of the Chelsea Oxfam Shop. Well worth a sneaky peak.

Check out the Bring and Buy website to find out more.

The question is... Why would anyone want to buy Bjork's swan dress? :)
