Junk Kouture marked the beginning of Hannah Pugh’s journey into fashion. She competed with her design End of an Era, progressing to the Junk Kouture 2023 World Final at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco and winning the Purposeful Plastic Award. Since then, Junk Kouture has given Hannah the opportunity to take part in a variety of events and helped give her the confidence to apply to London College of Fashion. She has now entered her second year studying Fashion Buying and Merchandising.
