Buncrana's Junk Kouture CEO walks red carpet at the iconic Odeon Leicester Square

Junk Kouture, the world’s largest youth sustainable fashion programme, makes its mark at the film premiere of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey in London, featuring Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie.

Representing Junk Kouture’s creativity and innovation, Clodagh Ramsey, the current World Designer of the Year, walked the red carpet in her striking design, Aquacultural, alongside CEO Troy Armour from Buncrana, who was also at the iconic Odeon Leicester Square.

Inspired by the issue of world hunger, Aquacultural promotes blue farming as a sustainable solution. The design features more than 2,000 mussel shells, scrubbed, glazed, and layered onto lace to create a rippling ocean effect on her showstopping design.
