Christmas at Kew
See the Gardens light up for an unforgettable after-dark festive trail of lights. 22 November 2018 to 5 January 2019.
https://www.kew.org/kew-gardens/whats-on/christmas-at-kew
Now in its sixth year, we are all fans of the 2018 winter trail – which for 2018 will be bigger than ever before, with over a million twinkling pea-lights and thousands of laser beams. Walk under welcoming arches into a world festooned with seasonal cheer and wander beneath unique tree canopies drenched in Christmas colour.
Laser Garden and moonlit woods
New this year, enter the moonlit woods and step into a Laser Garden where refracting lines of light playfully bounce across the branches.
Then stroll towards the Lake and pause at the waterside reflections made by a festive flotilla of hundreds of glowing boats gently bobbing on the shimmering surface.
Fire Garden
Glimpse the sculptural Fire Garden as it flickers and crackles in the distance, whilst the much-loved pea-lit tunnel is re-imagined as a vast Canopy of Light.
Watch the Palm House Pond finale springing to life with brightly criss-crossing colours, water screen projections and jumping light jets that dance to seasonal classics.
Treats under starry skies
Complete your trail with tempting treats under the stars – a spiced cider, mulled wine or hot chocolate whilst the aroma of roasting chestnuts and toasted marshmallows fills the air, and browse Kew’s well-stocked shop for that extra special gift.

Hire a party outfit and save a fortune
Christmas party season is kicking off earlier than ever this year. But, few of us like to wear the same outfit to function after function. With Girl Meets Dress (girlmeetsdress.com), you never have to wear the same items to a party again. Visit the website and chose from more than 200 designer brands and 4,000 designer dresses. You can choose up to two long, or three short, dresses to try on (the cost varies), then select the number of nights you would like them for — either two or seven. The dresses are delivered to your home. Once worn, send them back in the prepaid box. There’s optional insurance for £7 to cover accidental damage. Also, worth a look are similar sites hirethecatwalk.com and hirethatlook.com. Men needn’t miss out either, with Moss Bros (moss.co.uk) and Yardsmen (yardsmen.com) offering suit hire for all sorts of occasions.

Putting the brakes on fast fashion
Yesterday the United Nations Environment Programme published an article mentioning Girl Meets Dress and suggesting dress rental, hiring clothes as one way to reduce our textile consumption.
https://www.unenvironment.org/news-and-stories/story/putting-brakes-fast-fashion
The fashion industry globally produces 20% of wastewater. Textile dyeing is the 2nd largest polluter of water. This ‘trend’ urgently needs to stop. Keep clothing in use for longer and consider renting clothes to reduce your contribution #SolveDifferent
“The fashion industry produces 20 per cent of global wastewater and 10 per cent of global carbon emissions – more than all international flights and maritime shipping. Textile dyeing is the second largest polluter of water globally and it takes around 2,000 gallons of water to make a typical pair of jeans.”
“Some argue that recycling is itself energy intensive and does not address our throwaway culture—the number of times a garment is worn has declined by 36 per cent in 15 years. An alternative might be found in a viable rental market for clothes. Pioneers in this field include Dutch firm Mud Jeans, which leases organic jeans that can be kept, swapped or returned, Rent the Runway, Girl Meets Dress and YCloset in China.
“The rental model is clearly a winner for the higher end of the market where consumers may have no intention of wearing an occasion dress more than once… but at the lower end, it’s all too easy to go online and be able to buy outright any trend or item,” says Perry. “For rental to be a success at this market level, companies need to offer sufficient choice of brands and styles that would engage consumers and tempt them away from outright purchase, and the rental service needs to be smooth and faultless.”
