Trash N Fashion is a fun, glamorous, creative and innovative competition open to secondary school students. This competition is in its third year and it is once again calling on all secondary school students to get their recycle, reuse and re- thinking caps on and to turn old trash into wearable art.
Students develop their own theme to create a fashion masterpiece made solely from recycled materials.
Entries will then go head to head on the Trash N Fashion catwalk at a live competition at the North West Garden Show on Saturday, May 24. This is a fantastic opportunity for secondary school boys and girls to be extremely creative and make their own original fashion masterpiece. An event not to be missed.
The main sponsors for this year’s show are Hegarty Ford dealership (Andrew Hegarty), Greene’s shoes and Siobhan Boyle’s Sculpt Studio. Other partners include REPAC, Environmental Plastics, Customer service Ireland and contributions for the goody bags from the Four Lanterns, Century Cinemas, Donegal Stationary, Magee’s Pharmacy, McCullaghs Jewellery and Brian McCormick Sports.
Karen Murphy, Alfie Green, Siobhan Boyle and and Andrew Hegarty.
