ACCS Schools make the grade in 2021 Junk Kouture Grand Final
ACCS School students were again to the fore as the finalists and wildcards for this year’s Junk Kouture Grand Final were announced.
Junk Kouture is a global platform to unleash the creative brilliance of young people. One way it does this, is through a fashion competition which challenges the world's most talented emerging designers, engineers, artists and performers to envision, create and model high end couture from everyday junk. All materials used by designers must be recycled or repurposed. New materials are prohibited.
Overall, 10 projects from ACCS Schools made the cut for the final which will be shown across RTE’s platforms
