Talented 4th class students from St. Anne’s Primary School, Rathkeale, Co. Limerick were crowned ultimate winners of the Eurospar-sponsored ‘Classroom Kouture’ competition.
The winning design from the students was titled ‘Lunch in Bloom.’
Earlier this year, Eurospar supermarkets and Junk Kouture teamed up to put out a call.
They asked budding fashionistas, creative kids, and climate activists in primary schools across Ireland to think of an inspiring story.
Using that inspiration, Eurospar and Junk Kouture asked them to collect waste materials and create one design.
The callout produced spectacular results from all entrants.
Winners
Among all of the entries around Ireland, it was the one from St Anne’s Primary School that was victorious.
The talented students drew inspiration from school lunches to create a vibrant, short-front long-train dress.
The design features flowers crafted from face masks, Carambola lunch bags, and fabric.
Local Limerick Eurospar Rathkeale retailer, Derek Downes, presented the €1,000 prize fund to St. Anne’s Primary School, much to their delight.
Speaking about the winners, the marketing manager at Eurospar Claire O’Brien said, “This wonderful competition was a Eurospar exclusive where each supermarket invited their local primary schools to take part.
“This was the only initiative bringing Junk Kouture to primary schools across Ireland and we were absolutely thrilled with the response.
“We received entries from all over Ireland and we were absolutely thrilled with the response.
“We received entries from all over Ireland and the entry from St. Anne’s Primary School in Rathkeale absolutely blew us all away.”
The top five designs will be on display at the upcoming Junk Kouture Dublin City Final.
