Miss Ireland Aoife O'Sullivan wears Junk Kouture 'plastic bag' design to Cannes Film Festival

Gorgeous Aoife O’Sullivan would look good in a plastic bag.

And that’s exactly what the Miss Ireland wore as she stepped out at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

The stunner showed off a Junk Kouture design by Bríd McSharry from Colaiste Colmcille in Ballyshannon, Donegal.

The design, ‘Wave Away Waste’, was inspired by the beaches near the designer’s hometown and is made from plastic bags to highlight the damage it is causing to our coastlines.

Aoife said she was proud to wear the design of a Junk Kouture finalist, adding: “The outfit carries such an important message about how our country and planet are being affected by waste.

“I am absolutely delighted to wear such a beautiful outfit by a talented young designer. We could all learn a lot from how these students used their creativity to turn everyday junk into such stunning creations.”
