On Wednesday, 16 October we celebrate sixty talented teams of students from across the country in the Junk Kouture Dublin City Final.
It's a celebration of their incredible creativity, transforming recycled materials into high-fashion designs and sparking conversation about the world we live in today.
Actress and comedian Faye Shortt is our main stage presenter and award-winning content creator and presenter India Sasha returns to provide exclusive backstage access.
Expect thought-provoking themes addressing Ireland’s housing and homelessness crisis, a warm welcome for Ukrainian students, and the harmful effects of fast fashion on our planet. These young people aren’t messing around, and their message is as clear as the couture is fabulous.
The designs on display will be far from ordinary. Expect to see items like tents, high-visibility jackets, and even chicken feathers from a local factory transformed into breathtaking couture pieces. This is wearable art with a purpose, as young designers use fashion to spark conversation and promote change.
The stakes are high, as each team will compete for one of ten coveted spots in the next Junk Kouture World Final. Previous World Finals have been held in iconic venues such as the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi and the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.
