READ: Oxfam's profits hit record high An interior designer-tuned-vintage couture expert, Banks-Blaney has spent the past six months visiting Oxfam shops and warehouses to pick his favourite pieces from donations. Throughout 2013, customers will be able to shop his expert 'Edit' through Oxfam's online store as well as view monthly a masterclass by Banks-Blaney which will teach the art of mixing and matching with high street and high end.

His first 'Edit' for Oxfam will be on show at London's One New Change from Thursday November 28 until Saturday November 30.
