Junk Kouture is an International Sustainable Fashion Competition using 100% recycled materials to create a design for the catwalk.

We are learning new skills, experimenting with different materials, being creative and working in teams. Carrie is designing an outfit based on the Shetland Salmon Farming and Effie will be her model. Ashley, Tasnim and Una are co-designing and creating a dress based on pollution in our seas that affect our island. Ashley will be modelling the dress. Last year we had a Team meeting with one of the Junk Kouture staff and she gave us great tips and advice, she was very enthusiastic about our ideas.

Carrie said “I’m am really enjoying taking part of Junk Kouture. I am learning new skills and getting to show off my creativity with my designs.”

We are needing specific recycled materials and would appreciate any help: Fashion Magazines, plastic bottle tops and metal caps, ring-pulls.

Thank you!
