A Laois school team managed to create a stunning gown out of discarded plastic, toys and beads, to take home one of the top prizes in the Junk Kouture grand final this year.
The three girls behind the Peace Unfolds design are holding off celebrating their win until the end of the Covid-19 Level 5 lockdown.
Sarah Tuohy, Gráinne Mc Caul, Elise Finn from Scoil Chríost Rí told the Leinster Express about the moment the televised awards announced their win. We were so shocked to see our name announced as the enterprise winners. But it was so rewarding to see that our hard work had paid off from sewing to implementing our promotional campaign across social media for our sustainable design from the get go of our journey and everything in between.
