Group Head of Children's and Young People's Programming, RT Suzanne Kelly says: We are delighted to continue to support this RT partnership with Junk Kouture. I am amazed at what our students from all over the country continue to produce as they embrace the principle of sustainable living and unleash their inner creative genius to produce incredible fashion designs. This wonderful celebration of immense creativity brings such colour and joy to our channels and platforms and makes this event such a pleasure to work on and broadcast on RT 2 and RT Player. Importantly, it also allows RT to play its part in keeping the issues of sustainability and climate consciousness front-of-mind for all audiences.
