Junk Kouture[1] is a television fashion competition for post-primary school students, where participants design, create and model fashion, made from recycled items. The competition has run in Ireland, since it was founded in 2010, by Troy Armour.[2] The annual Grand Finale has been held in the 3Arena, Dublin since 2015.[3]

The current holder of the Junk Kouture Overall Winner for 2021 is 'Iconoclastic Fantastic'[4] – created by Alicia Rostermundt from Coláiste Bríde, Enniscorthy.

Junk Kouture launched in New York, London and Abu Dhabi in 2021, with competitions opening in September 2021 for each of these new cities.[5][6]
