Retread-Your-Threads: Energy and fashion from unwanted materials
Retread-Your-Threads: Energy and fashion from unwanted materials
Supplier of 100% green and 100% renewable electricity, Green Energy UK has teamed up
with Wayne Hemingway and the Hemingway Design team to run a live Retread-Your-
Threads fashion catwalk at Vintage at Southbank Centre, and you can use your fashion
expertise and be one of the judges.
As well as being a Retread-Your-Threads judge, Green Energy UK will also give you and a
friend tickets to a day and night at Britain’s cultural event of the year. To win this fantastic
prize and £100 to spend on travel and Vintage goodies, Green Energy UK is issuing a
fashion challenge. Green Energy UK buys energy generated from things that would
otherwise go to waste, and using the company’s ethos of giving new life to old, they want
you to retread threads and turn sad rags into glad rags.
Visit www.greenenergyuk.com/vintage to upload a picture of yourself wearing the new
outfit you’ve created using old or vintage clothes, and tell the company why you should
win. The first 20 entrants will also receive a limited edition Vintage designed rosette.
Green Energy UK chief executive, Doug Stewart, says: “Vintage at Southbank Centre
promises to be a great event celebrating the rich history of 20th century British culture.
Like Vintage we love the idea of breathing new life into old and using it to good effect. We
do this in our own way by taking what’s discarded and recycling it into cleaner greener
electricity to power people’s homes and businesses. With Retread-Your-Threads we hope
to show that giving new life to old clothes is fun, creative and rewarding. Throwing things
away is crazy- there is no “AWAY” so lets have fun instead.”
The winner of Green Energy UK’s online Retread-Your-Threads competition will receive a
Vintage Friday Pass + The Electronic Phuture Revue ticket that gives exclusive access to
the Vintage at Southbank Centre celebrations at Royal Festival Hall on Friday 29 July, and
the '80s revue show that evening, with new acts and legends performing throughout the
day, (for more information www.vintagebyhemingway.co.uk/). The competition closes
Saturday 16 July.
