Forget Tupperware and Lovetoy parties – the new thing is to ”be green, be good and be glam” and arrange or attend a Swap Party.
You can chose between arranging one yourself (excellent if you and your friends have the same style – and size), visit online swapping sites or attend different kinds of prearranged Swapping events. Visa - fronted by the actress Lindsay Lohan - arranged the world's biggest fashion swap events in the UK earlier this year.
Some companies have made it their business to arrange swaps and even offer complimentary spa treatments and cocktails. Others provide sites were you can register your items and trade away like there is no tomorrow :)
