Rubbish deadline looms
15.01.13
SECONDARY school students have only a couple of
weeks to come up with rubbish designs for this
year's Junk Kouture Recycled Fashion competition.
The deadline is Thursday, January 31 and young
creatives are being urged to turn industrial,
electrical, commercial and domestic waste products
into pieces of fashion art.
Buncrana's Orla O’Hagan reached the grand final last
year with her Battle of the Sexes design made from
metal, leather and wire among other things. Orla, a
pupil at Scoil Mhuire, is entering again this year
but her latest creation is a "closely guarded
secret", say the organisers. |

Competition founder,
Elizabeth O’Donnell, said: “We’re always intrigued
to know just what the students will come up with at
the competition’s regional heats, but we’ve been
really blown away at the standard and levels of
creativity as well as the cool things which these
kids have done with other people’s junk. I imagine
2013 will be no different so we’re really looking
forward to working with schools right across
Northern Ireland to bring junk back to a very
fashionable life." It's easy and free to enter.
Registration opens on January 20 and and closes on
January 31. Judges this year include Donegal
supermodel Faye Dinsmore.
