The event will take place ahead of the official Spring/Summer 2025 New York and London Fashion Week schedules, offering an alternative platform for showcasing pre-owned fashion. Following the shows, eBay will release "daily curated drops of [pre-loved pieces from various designers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/preowned-platform), providing an opportunity for consumers to explore pre-owned styles." The 'Endless Runway' will highlight eBay's selection of pre-owned designer clothing and accessories, making these items available for purchase instantaneously. This initiative taps into the increasing global interest in [circular fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coach-and-poshmark), promoting the reuse of designer garments and contributing to more sustainable fashion practices.
