Winnie Harlow Highlights the Connection Between Fashion and Motorsport Culture With eBay

Model and motorsport enthusiast Winnie Harlow has teamed up with eBay on an exclusive auction timed to the Miami Grand Prix this weekend. The auction’s bidding is open through May 13, starting at 57 cents — a nod to the number of laps required to complete Sunday’s race.

All proceeds from the auction will benefit Vitiligo Support International.

Notably, the online event follows a series of high-profile auctions on the eBay marketplace, including collections from Elton John, who raised money for the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Margherita Maccapani Missoni and Jenna Lyons, as reported by WWD. In 2024, eBay also teamed up with actress Alicia Silverstone to further champion pre-loved products.

To create the perfect curation for Harlow’s auction, she worked with eBay’s resident stylist Brie Welch, who joined the team earlier this year. Among the fashion pieces included are a vintage Moschino leather vest, Celine wedge knee-high boots and a blue Gucci Jackie bag.

In addition to the luxury fashion pieces, the centerpiece of the auction is a customized, low-mileage, four-wheel-drive 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet. Features of the customization of the car include “Corbeau Sport Seats, a Momo Monte Carlo steering wheel and a Fabspeed Maxflo exhaust.

“Style and speed are a huge part of my life, and eBay is the ultimate destination where those passions come together,” said Harlow. “Each item in this auction represents individuality, performance and self-expression — whether on the track or in your personal style.”

Engaging with consumers in person, eBay has also installed a pit stop-inspired activation in Miami for shoppers to check out during race weekend. The “Guaranteed Fit Stop” will give visitors an interactive look at an assortment of luxury fashion and automotive finds.

Bidding for Winnie Harlow’s curated auction is open at ebay.com/guaranteedfitdrop. EBay will be sharing more about the auction across its profiles on Instagram and TikTok.
