Griffith College Junk Kouture Scholarship
Leavey, who has played a key role in the development of the Fashion Design course at Griffith College said, “I am so excited about this year's Grand Final. These students are starting such a fashion revolution with their fantastic sustainable designs. I also can’t wait to announce the 2019 winner of the Griffith College Junk Kouture Scholarship. I’ll be looking for a creative design which makes a true impact on sustainable circular fashion - of course, it must have that X-factor too, with great craftsmanship and an eye-catching catwalk presence.”
Understanding Junk Kouture
Junk Kouture is a nationwide competition which sees secondary school students create striking and stand-out costumes and outfits using ‘junk’. In its ninth year, contestants will consider major elements when creating their couture design such as fashion, design, engineering and environmental sustainability.
The Bank of Ireland Junk Kouture competition is open to students who are enrolled in secondary schools in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland.
