Congratulations to students S Staraityte and I Kelly who will represent Scoil Mhuire at Junk Kouture in The Helix in May with their costume Martine Mourning. Well done girls!
“Marine Mourning was heavily inspired by the 18th century mourning dress. The designers feel that the world should be in mourning as an estimated 100 million marine animals die each year from plastic waste alone, materials were inspired by common ocean pollution. The colour palette for the design was inspired by Oil spills as the designers were captivated by the shimmering greens and purples yet terrified by the horrific consequences. The designers included small marine themed accents for example the empty contact lenses cases designed to look like fisheyes, or the wire fish fixed to the hat.“
