The marketplace will stage Endless Runway shows in New York and London this September — livestreamed, authenticated and instantly shoppable — as part of a wider push to normalise archival and pre‑owned designer pieces across mainstream runway programming.
eBay is returning to fashion month with a renewed push to place pre‑loved designer clothing centre stage. The marketplace will stage Endless Runway presentations in New York and London this September, composed exclusively of authenticated second‑hand pieces sourced from its platform and featuring archival looks from houses including Erdem and Ahluwalia in London, and Altuzarra, Luar and Kallmeyer in New York. According to the announcement and early press coverage, the curated runway edits are intended to demonstrate the continuing relevance of past‑season design and to foreground resale as part of mainstream fashion programming.
“We came up with the eBay Endless Runway programme as a way to redefine perception of pre‑loved fashion,” Alexis Hoopes, eBay’s vice‑president of global fashion, told Vogue, arguing that placing pre‑owned designer clothing on fashion month runways was a “significant tipping point”. The company has said designers will also weave archival pieces into their spring/summer 2026 presentations, a move eBay and its partners describe as a public endorsement of circularity from fashion’s upper echelons. eBay will present its own styled shows — led by Amy Bannerman in London and Brie Welch in New York — with the runway edits overseen by the platform’s in‑house curators and stylists.
The Endless Runway shows will be livestreamed and shoppable in real time, the company and reporting outlets confirm, with items available to global audiences through eBay Live. Organisers stress pieces will be authenticated and available as soon as they hit the catwalk, so buyers are encouraged to act quickly once a drop goes live. The currently announced dates to watch are 10 September in New York and 18 September in London, and eBay has signalled that daily curated drops and catalogue highlights will accompany the live presentations.
Beyond the two headline events, some industry coverage says the initiative is being positioned more ambitiously. Trade reporting indicates eBay is engaging with fashion bodies and may expand activations to coincide across Milan and Paris in support of SS26 shows, and it has framed the programme as part of a broader partnership approach with organisations such as the CFDA and the British Fashion Council. eBay’s own communications describe the effort as Pre‑Loved Fashion Week, aimed at making designer wardrobes more accessible while accelerating circular shopping behaviours.
The move is being positioned within a wider shift in industry economics and communications: eBay has been ramping up editorial and trend work — including a marketplace Watchlist report that mines listings and searches to highlight what buyers are seeking — and last spring appointed Brie Welch as Resident Stylist to curate and amplify pre‑loved finds across its content. The company says these investments are intended to normalise resale and to give pre‑owned garments the same cultural visibility that new collections enjoy.
There are differences in how outlets frame the scope of eBay’s September programme, with some reports focused strictly on the New York and London events and others describing a multi‑city strategy through fashion month. What is consistent across coverage and eBay’s own material is the intention to make archival and authenticated pre‑loved pieces visible, wearable and purchasable in the moment — an experiment in marrying runway spectacle with instant commerce that will be watched closely as fashion month approaches.
