Ireland’s leading sustainable fashion platform for Gen-Z, Junk Kouture, returns with the highly anticipated Dublin City Final, set to take place on May 6, 2026, at The Helix, Dublin.

 

Following three successful Regional Finals earlier this year, sixty nine design teams from across the country will gather in Dublin to compete for one of ten coveted places in the Junk Kouture World Final.

​

Creative, innovative, and sustainability-driven students aged 12–19 will take to the stage to showcase their most thought-provoking designs, each created entirely from everyday junk. These young Irish visionaries will aim to captivate the esteemed Junk Kouture judging panel, presenting months of dedication through striking wearable art—each piece telling a powerful and inspiring story.

​

Attendees can expect an exciting evening, including a live DJ set, before the main event highlights the very best of Ireland’s emerging creative talent. As Junk Kouture continues its legacy in Ireland, the 2026 Dublin City Final promises to be an inspiring celebration of fashion, creativity, and sustainability.
