This year’s Love Island contestants will be sporting pre-loved clothes for the very first time.
Love Island 2022 is fast approaching and fans are eager to meet their series 8 contestants from Gemma Owen and Natasha Ghouri to Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack.
Not only is there excitement to watch their summer of love unfold, but this year - for the very first time - the ITV2 dating show has partnered up with Pre-Loved Fashion Partner, eBay.
Love Island Contestants Will Receive Inclusion Training As Part Of New Duty Of Care
The islanders will have access to a shared pre-loved wardrobe in the new Majorcan villa after the show decided to ditch their former fast-fashion sponsors.
Pre-loved pieces have been put together for each contestant and will be pieced by celeb stylist Amy Bannerman, who specialises in vintage styling and has also styled stars such as Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Jonathan Van Ness and Sophie Turner.

Amy explained that four big trends are the focus of this year’s wardrobe in the villa - and some have even been inspired by fashion icons such as Harry Styles and Hailey Bieber.
The looks will be split into four categories - Blurred Lines, Love Me Forever, Y2K and Dopamine Dressing.
Amy said ‘the inspiration for the men is a toned-down Harry Styles and for the girls Hailey Bieber’ when it comes to the Blurred Lines trend, while Love Me Forever is about finding classic, timeless pieces for the wardrobe.
Y2K’s trend comes as early 2000s fashion faves are making a comeback, with Amy adding that she drew inspo for this from Britney Spears and Paris Hilton circa 2000, while touching on 2022’s style looks for Dua Lipa and Bella Hadid.
Last but not least, Amy explained that Dopamine Dressing is for the islanders to enjoy that pop of colour, print and neons.
This year’s wardrobe will even include pre-loved designer labels, with the stylists going on to add their own touches to inspire viewers to buy pre-loved clothing.
Love Island starts on June 6 at 9pm on ITV2.
