"Blueprint for sustainability": Moate design to compete at Junk Kouture World Final

Moate design 'Blueprint' will be showcased as part of the Junk Kouture World Final in The Helix, Dublin today, Tuesday, February 24.

The dress was created by talented Moate Community School students Hannah Higgins, Muireann Lowry and Erin Roche.

Moate CS expressed their pride, saying their students are "empowered to turn ideas into action, to collaborate, and to make a real difference in the world around them".

"This is more than fashion, it’s a movement. It’s young people leading change. This dress represents a true blueprint for change, challenging how we think about, use and reuse the materials we consume every single day.

"It’s a powerful statement on sustainability, creativity and conscious living. Every element has been thoughtfully reimagined to show that waste can become something extraordinary."

The premier sustainable fashion competition for 12 to 19 year olds showcases designs made entirely from recycled materials.
