This Old Thing with Bay Garnett

If you’ve been trawling through the likes of Vogue for decades you will be familiar with the work of Bay Garnett.

Remember Kate Moss playing chess in that cream fur or sitting on a bedroom floor in that Stella McCartney banana top? If all this resonates with you, check out Bay’s podcast, This Old Thing.

The Queen of Thrift, as she’s become known, talks to some big names each week – Sienna Miller, Paloma Faith, Rachel Weisz, Charlotte Tilbury, Corinne Bailey Rae, Brett Anderson and Sophie Ellis Bextor to name a few – about their childhood outfits, their secondhand buys and failsafe shopping tips. Despite its last episode being in 2021, it still remains a must-listen for fashion fans who like a bit of celeb thrown in too.
