Louth native to guest judge on TG4 fashion series

TG4's new sustainable fashion series Síorstíl produced by Fibín Media, will have a Louth native join as guest judge for its next show on Wednesday 5 February.

Síorstíl is a revolutionary fashion competition that challenges six talented designers to transform second-hand and recycled materials into high-fashion masterpieces. Hosted by Sinéad Ní Uallacháin and judged by Moya Doogan and Rónán Ó Dálaigh, Síorstíl is not just a competition but a movement to rethink how we approach fashion in the modern world. 

The second episode on the 5th of February at 8.30pm sees Louth native Jade Pepper join as guest judge.

Jade is an Actor, Model, Gaeilgoir, and Filmmaker from Drogheda. She can regularly be seen on stage in cabaret and burlesque shows, and appeared on TG4’s An Gúna Bainise, where she showed of her green wedding dress that is worthy of a Hollywood premiere

In the episode this week it's quarter final week and the competitors are charged with designing an outfit that their favourite screen character would wear. Under the watchful eye of Sinéad, Moya, Rónán and guest judge Jade, the contestants really start to feel the heat as a place in the final gets ever closer.

In each episode, contestants face different design challenges that test their skills in sustainability, innovation, and style. The grand prize goes to the designer who can best demonstrate the transformative power of repurposed materials while maintaining the creative flair needed for high fashion. Alongside the regular judging panel, each episode features a guest judge connected to the challenge, including notable figures like Ciara Ní É, Bláthnaid O’Donoghue, Sexy Tadhg, Jade Pepper, Don O’Neill, and Fionnuala Jay.

In addition to showcasing groundbreaking designs, Síorstíl offers a career-enhancing prize for the winner, made possible by three generous sponsors: eBay, Thriftify, and the Local Enterprise Office, eBay, with the support of Vision Ireland, also provide the outfits for the hosts, Sinéad, Moya, and Rónán.

Síorstíl is a show that proves sustainability and style are not mutually exclusive. By focusing on the creative potential of recycled materials, Síorstíl offers a fresh perspective on how we can reinvent our wardrobes and reduce waste, all while celebrating the artistry and ingenuity of its contestants.
