Vogue Williams’ latest fashion venture is (literally) oh-so trashy

Fashion comes in many forms, and in this case that statement is certainly true.

Vogue Williams has been confirmed for her sixth year running as a judge with Bank Of Ireland's Junk Kouture competition, a fashion show with a big difference. Secondary school students from all over the country will compete on the catwalk with totally original designs, all crafted from – yep, you've guessed it – rubbish.

Of course, we're assuming that it'll take something a little more elaborate than a black bin bag dress to wow Vogue and her fellow judges, and it turns out we're right.

"As a judge, I love seeing unusual materials being used to create extraordinary designs so think outside the box," says Vogue.

"Over the years the most striking and best dresses have been those entries who stick to using only one or up to three different materials."

The Dublin-born model will join Louis Walsh, Tracey Fahey of Limerick School of Art & Design and stylist Rob Condon at the 3Arena on April 14 to choose this year's winner.

If you know someone with an eye for fashion (and junk) who might like to take part, they're in luck as this year's closing date has been extended to February 4.

"We love the high fashion couture dresses," Vogue advises anyone who might be thinking of entering. "Think Fashion Week!"

Students can enter on the Bank Of Ireland Junk Kouture website (a maximum of three students can work on each design), and for more information you can check out the BOIstudents Facebook page.
