The Spirit of Relove Fashion

2025/26 Ambassador
Elizabeth Cooper from Colaiste Clavin in Meath County Council has just been named the inaugural Spirit of Relove Fashion Ambassador, a brand new role celebrating creativity, innovation, and the next generation of circular fashion leaders.
Elizabeth has been redefining sustainable style since her early years, pushing her creativity and teaching herself new skills at every opportunity.
With three Relove Fashion entries under her belt, Elizabeth’s designs have levelled up every time. From upcycling old shirts into a skater dress, repurposing her grandfather’s ties into a beautifully tailored top, to patchworking a reversible skirt combo, each entry shows off new techniques and skills alongside a stronger commitment to zero waste and circular fashion.
As part of the programme, Elizabeth spent three days at the Rediscovery Centre, Ireland’s National Centre for the Circular Economy, learning from expert sustainable fashion mentors. The training included natural dyeing with Malú Colorín of Talu Earth, tailoring with Fionn Ó’Dubhghaill, and sustainable design with Aisling Duffy.
Relove Fashion and the Rediscovery Centre were delighted to provide Elizabeth with this opportunity, and to celebrate her work as she prepares for the Leaving Certificate, and hopefully fashion school afterwards!
She is setting a new standard for youth creativity in Ireland’s circular fashion scene.
