Rubbish job for Donegal model 10.12.12

TOP Donegal model Faye Dinsmore has landed a rubbish assignment as a judge of clothes made entirely from junk.
The 24-year old catwalk queen has been named as one of four judges in the Junk Kouture Recycled Fashion Competition 2013.
The cross-border schools competition, sponsored by the European Recycling Platform, challenges secondary students to create weird and wonderful outfits. Their creations can be made from any recycled materials including old tyres, milk cartons, fizzy drink cans, newspaper and even leftover food.
Twenty-four year old catwalk queen Faye will be joined on the judging panel this year by TV presenter and stylist, Darren Kennedy, Art and Design educator, Tracey Fahey and environmental awareness expert, Yvonne Holmes.

The four will be looking for designs that excite, thrill and make clever use of the stuff we normally throw in the bin.
Competition co-founder Elizabeth O’Donnell from Buncrana, expects Junk Kouture 2013 - now in its third year- to be the best yet.
"Each of our four judges has been selected because of their expertise in their diverse backgrounds, which we feel provides an expansive judging panel to this year competition entrants," she said. Last year's winners included 'Re-juicing', a dress made from orange peel and 'Warrior Knight', a costume made entirely from Coca Cola cans.
Budding designers have until January 31, 2013 to submit their entries with a prize pot totalling €20,000 up for grabs. More information on www.junkkouture.com
