Community School students wow in funky fashion event
Cashel Community School prides itself on its sporting, musical and artistic prowess both locally and nationally, but it also has another string to its bow, when it comes to fashion, as once again it is one of a handful of schools who have qualified for the regional finals of fashion competition “Junk Kouture”.
Junk Kouture is a television fashion competition for post-primary school students, where participants design, create and model fashion, made from recycled items. The competition has run in Ireland, since it was founded in 2010, by Troy Armour.
The annual Grand Finale has been held in the 3Arena, Dublin since 2015. Junk Kouture is open to 12-19 year-olds and challenges young people to design, upcycle and create high end fashion from recycled materials.
The local school has thrown itself into the competition pretty much right from the outset, and has created some fabulous fashion that have wowed local, regional and national judges.
In fact, some of the toughest competition the winners of the school event face, is within the school itself, as each vie for the right to go to the outside judges.
This year’s winning design is titled “No M-Alice in This Palace”, a modern take on the age old tale of Alice in Wonderland.
Designed and put together by Sarah Creed, Emma Hobbert and Alanna Manton, who are all transition year students at Cashel Community School, they hope that they can take what would be a deserved place in the Grand Finale, the national finals, which are held each year in the Three Arena and draw a huge supporting crowd.
