\nStudents raise awareness of the importance of seat belts\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A dress made completely from seat belts \u00a0is in the running for a design award in the Junk Koutoure<\/a>
\nRecycled Fashion Competition, sponsored by Bank of Ireland.\u00a0Three enterprising students from Ursuline college Sligo, Eimear Joyce, Rachael Quigley and \u00c9mer Mc kenna (who also models the dress ) created the dress\u00a0\u00a0to highlight the importance of road safety and to encourage young people in particular to wear their seatbelts. \u00a0It is estimated that wearing seatbelts can reduce the chances of injury or death in a car crash by up to 50%.<\/p>\n

Composed of over 70 seatbelts recycled from second hand garages even the\u00a0wig is also completely made from seatbelts and \u00a0CD segments have been used on the dress to represents broken glass.<\/p>\n

The name Car Trash is a pun on car crash which is what can happens if you don’t wear your seatbelt.<\/p>\n

The \u00a0competition,\u00a0Junk Koutoure<\/a>\u00a0is a national contest which encourages young designers in second level education to create striking couture designs and impressive works of wearable art from everyday junk that would normally find its way into the bin. The aim is to inspire and ignite passion in these teenagers while at the same time subtly educating them about the importance of recycling and reusing waste.<\/p>\n

Twenty designs will make it to the\u00a0glamorous grand final in April 2017 \u00a0held in the 3Arena Dublin.<\/p>\n

If you would like to vote for Car Trash – just follow the link here\u00a0<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The voting runs from Monday the 3rd of April to the 14th of April and you can vote once every 24 hours.<\/p>\n
