London is a fantastic city with history, parks, good food and drink with an excellent transport system. I was there for the day with Chantelle, my daughter, and Archie, my 3-year-old grandson. The unseasonal October sunshine made our walk around Hyde Park very enjoyable.

9 European Exhibitions Worth Traveling for in 2025

Note the exclamation mark in the title: “Leigh Bowery!” at Tate Modern (Feb. 27 through Aug. 31) is the first large-scale exhibition to present the multidisciplinary output that was the work and too-short-life of the boy from suburban Sunshine, Australia, who out-weirded the colorful 1980s London club scene. Bowery is best known for his fabulously outré costumes: oversized bulging eyes and painted smiles, wigs of inflated spikes, bedazzled masks, baroque bustiers, sky-high platforms, PVC, bondage gear, tulle, feathers … You name it, he wore it.

The Way You Buy Outdoor and Travel Gear Is Changing for the Better

Emme Hayes wasn’t happy with the “buy, use, and toss” flow of gear in the outdoor apparel industry. With constant pressure from brands and social media to buy the latest and greatest gear, the industry she loves and has worked in for much of her life wasn’t exactly living up to her – or its – values. Footwear and clothing account for some 8 percent of total carbon emissions, and though gear brands love to tout mantras of ever-increasing sustainability, buying new stuff constantly is never going to be as sustainable as using what you have for longer, and repurposing it when you’re done. In 2021, the climate activist and former apparel designer decided to do something about it, founding the digital platform Articles in Common as a marketplace for recreators to repurpose their outdoors gear and clothing to keep it out of landfills.
