CEO of Junk Kouture Troy Amour says: There is no atmosphere on the Junk Kouture calendar like a Dublin City Final Powered by RT , it is an incredible feeling to be back at our home in Dublin's 3Arena. I have seen the power of transformation in the students this night has as they take to the stage and are cheered on by 5000 of their peers it's a night at the opera for the 21st Century celebrating the creativity, culture, innovation and sustainability of our youth! Our goal at Junk Kouture is to enrich and empower the lives of young people, and events like this are a crucial part of making that happen. This year I am delighted to welcome EUROSPAR and DHL to our Junk Kouture family, both companies are committed to creating a more sustainable future and helping us create more opportunities for young people on a global stage.
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.
