Nothing faux about this design

There was great news for Lucy O’Brien and Ellie Flanagan from Sacred Heart Secondary School, Tullamore last week, when their project, Faux Show, was chosen as a wildcard entry for the Junk Kouture Grand Final.

The project is the only Offaly entry to reach the national final. Faux Show is all about drawing attention to the carbon footprint made by the meat industry. The outfit intends to give a new lease of life to second-hand faux leather, collected from friends and family members and charity shops, instead of it being disposed of.
