Jelly London and RKCR/Y&R go 'Shwopping' with M&S
Commissioned by RKCR/Y&R, Jelly London’s in-house animation team; The Kitchen, has produced a series of quirky animations to promote Marks & Spencer's latest Shwopping campaign to raise money for Oxfam. Featuring Absolutely Fabulous star, Oxfam ambassador and legitimate british icon, Joanna Lumley, the online campaign invites customers to leave their old and unwanted clothes at Marks and Spencer stores to be resold or recycled by Oxfam. The stylishly animated films show items of clothing that have been donated via the “Shwop drops,” morphing into good deeds around the world, including clean water and business training.

In fact, 1 in 20 of us has over 50 items in our closets with the tags still on, while 1 in 8 own more than 300 items of clothing! Despite these facts, one in 20 adults will complain that they have nothing to wear at least once a week. The underlying point here is obvious; donate your clothing to the Shwopping campaign, and you'll not only be helping a worthy cause, but you'll be saving yourself from any future wardrobe
