Worn It Once encourages designers of all levels and expertise to showcase and sell their collections online.
Sometimes the transmission from student to designer is a difficult as there are not many places to display your talent.
Every month Worn It Once will add a new designer to the site and their garments will be available to buy (or bid).

As part of our 'designer spotlight' feature, wornitonce will be running an annual competition which will allow users of the site to vote for their favourite new designer. A new designer will be added to the site every month, showcasing their collection and users will also have the chance to buy their garments. The winner will be announced in Jan 2009 and will win an amazing, money cant buy prize to help give them the best start in the industry!!

Pauline Clifford, 26, runs her own footwear business called 'Starsparkles'. However only a couple of years ago Pauline was working as a shoe shop assistant. After customising her own shoes, her boss AKA 'Tiny Sparkles' asked her to customise his cowprint converse trainers and within a few days Pauline was bombarded with orders. Pauline has since designed shoes for Paris Hilton, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams and Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas!!
Her website - www.starsparkles.com shows examples of her work and pictures of all the celebs wearing her designs!!
Pauline charges between £30 and £150 to customise items. To discuss your requirements, contact Pauline on pauline@starsparkles.com
