The semi-finalists for Junk Kouture were announced this week, and I'm proud to say a group from our school has qualified! These two girls worked really hard on their outfit and well deserved to qualify to the semi-finals! Best of luck in the competition!

Junk Kouture Fashion Show!

Today at school we had our fashion show for junk kouture. This was a final showpiece of our creations, everyones outfits looked fantastic with their make-up and hair done! All of the outfits were so creative and they all looked amazing! So much effort went into making these outfits, we were all so proud when they were finally finished!

The picture above is of our outfit, since my last Junk Kouture post, we have made a headpiece and decorated shoes to be worn with our outfit. We made the headpiece by attached a pom-pom made from tape to an old hairband. The shoes were decorated by wrapping tape around them and attaching them to the front of the shoes. I'm really happy with how our outfit turned out, we all aggreed we had worked as hard as we could to make it the best we could!
The fashion show was really great, it was so much fun! I loved looking at what outfits everyone else had created and what ideas they came up with!

Junk Kouture!

We have been working away with our Junk Kouture project, there's so much work to do with it! We are making our outfit from casette tapes, we are using both the plastic cases and the tapes from inside! Muireann and Sarah are working on making this outfit too!

What our outfit is made from!

There's so much work involved with Junk Kouture but we're really happy with how the outfit is coming along, we're making a corset and skirt out of the tapes! We also have a belt made out of the tape covers, the hardest thing to make is the skirt as we have to sew on the tape by hand and it takes forever! Muireann did the sewing all last week while Sarah and I worked on the corset, so I think we better give Muireann a break from it this week, it's very easy to get sick of sewing all those tapes!

Our outfit so far (still unfinshed) , and yes that is Muireann under it...





This is the belt we made from the tape covers!



That's all for now, blog soon!
