Two Longford students and their proud teacher are celebrating this evening after they won the 'World Designer of the Year' title at the first ever Junk Kouture World Final in Abu Dhabi tonight.
Solomon Eduard and Joshua Osabuehien from Cnoc Mhuire Granard, along with their teacher Charmaine Hetherton, flew out to Abu Dhabi where they were competing against sixty other finalists from Dublin, London, Paris, Milan, New York and Abu Dhabi.
Solomon and Joshua's design is called ‘Back to the Future’ and it is made from old shower mats, an old laundry basket, an aerial, car wipers and tubing from an old tractor tyre.
Their design has an industrial look and it is highly creative. The message behind their costume is that we all need to make an effort to live more sustainably if our planet is to have any chance of survival.
Junk Kouture is a competition for secondary school students requiring them to create weird and wonderful costumes entirely from waste materials.
