Endless Runway
Pre-loved Fashion Week
eBay’s Endless Runway fashion show was a groundbreaking event that spotlighted sustainable, pre-loved fashion at both New York and London Fashion Week ‘24. In collaboration with the CFDA, the British Fashion Council, and style icon Wisdom Kaye, the show featured pre-loved and archival pieces from the same designer brands presenting throughout both Fashion Weeks, allowing viewers to shop these high-end, one-of-a-kind looks in real time. This campaign resonated globally, generating 2.2 billion earned media impressions across over 22 outlets, including Vogue and BBC, reinforcing eBay’s role in shaping the future of pre-loved, sustainable fashion.
Featured: Vogue, Vogue Business, The Guardian, Harper’s Bazar, BBC, Teen Vogue, USA Today, Marie Claire UK, Fashionista, Glossy, Independent, Glamour, Financial Times, Elle, Hypebae and more.

Willy Chavarria
eBay
For Paris Fashion Week, eBay partnered with CFDA American Menswear Designer of the Year Willy Chavarria to bring pre-loved fashion to the runway. Known for pulling from vintage and archival references, Chavarria worked with eBay to source pieces from his own past collections and weave them directly into his AW25 Paris debut. His latest collection, Tarantula, mixed these pre-loved finds with new designs, showing how archival fashion can live side by side with what’s next. The result reinforced eBay as a go-to destination for high-end vintage and designer pieces, while spotlighting the power of circular fashion.
Pre-loved Runway Looks
Supporting LA Wildfire Relief
In a tribute to his California roots and to aid wildfire recovery efforts in Los Angeles, Chavarria auctioned a runway-exclusive Chuco suit on eBay. Right after his Paris debut, fans had the chance to bid on this one-of-a-kind piece from the AW25 collection, with all proceeds going directly to the California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund.

The scientist featured in this video is Ashley Cross. Ashley is a PHD candidate at Emory University, researching microbiology and genetics. Here is a link to her academic profile on Emory’s site, and her LinkedIn profile in case you have any questions on molecular genetics.
The voice you heard during the phone call really was Ray Kroc’s son. His name is Ballard Smith, he’s the former president of the San Diego Padres, but more recently was Executive Director at an organization called Science of Sport. Below is a video recording of our conversation with the current ED, Daren Heaton.
We told him we were doing a project on the Padres and that for research purposes, we needed Ballard’s phone number to ask questions. It took very little convincing for Daren to hand over his personal contact information.
