The creation ‘Don’t Be Afraid’, by Luca Heerey, Chloe Pritchard, and Abi Rose Whyte from Bailieborough Community School (Cavan, Ireland), is a runway-ready look that represents individuality, self-expression, and celebrating ‘different.’

“You can do whatever you want, no matter your race, gender, or whatever -you can just do it and that’s what gave me the confidence; It’s just wanting to be different and telling people it’s okay to do so.”

-Luca Heerey (Junk Kouture Student)
