Celebrity professional organiser Marie Kondo inspired the event organiser Mia Lee.

She said sellers have the chance to purge their wardrobes of unwanted items but gives others a chance to snap up a bargain without it going to waste.

“Selling your unwanted fashion at Frockarama not only helps declutter your wardrobe but it encourages more sustainable fashion choices,” she said.
