Alongside the Love Island partnership, Bannerman “will play a key role” in the company’s partnership with Vogue’s ‘Forces For Change’, which celebrates sustainability, diversity and change-makers.

“I’m so happy to start this new role, it has been incredible working with Ebay to style the Islanders for the past couple of seasons and I’m so proud of how much we have already changed pre-loved perceptions,” Bannerman said.
“I’m excited to work even more closely with the eBay team to inspire a more conscious way of shopping.”
