WHAT IS JUNK KOUTURE?
Junk Kouture is a global platform to unleash the creative brilliance of young people. One way it does this, is through a fashion competition which challenges the world’s most talented emerging designers, engineers, artists and performers to envision, create and model high end couture from everyday junk!
In 2021, participants from six countries will compete in a digital competition for the prestigious title of Junk Kouture World Designer of the Year.
NATIONAL COMPETITIONS 2021
This year, young creators across six countries will have the opportunity to participate in Junk Kouture. Submissions will be made on the new Junk Kouture app, with the top designers from each country qualifying for the Digital World Final which will take place later in 2021.
Junk Kouture offers incredible prizes for winners. Such as attendance at prestigious events, memorable experiences, bursaries and scholarships, and a monetary prize for the winning school! 2021 is no different with an amazing list of prizes up for grabs in the digital competition (T&Cs apply)
Take a look behind the scenes…
