Fíbín Media has announced the premiere of the second series of Síorstíl. This revolutionary fashion competition challenges seven talented designers to transform second-hand and recycled materials into high-fashion masterpieces.
Hosted by Sinéad Ní Uallacháin and judged by Deidre Allen and Ãndría Uí Thaidhg, Síorstíl is not just a competition but a movement to rethink how we approach fashion in the modern world.
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 Eimear O’Reilly, Póilín Nic Géidigh, Virtue Shine, Don O’Neill, Cian Ó Gríofa, and Ríon Hannora.
The show’s first episode, airing on January 14, kicks off with a bold challenge where the designers must create an ‘Is Mise’ fashion-forward outfit, using the second-hand and upcycled clothing provided. This task allows contestants to showcase their personal style from the start.
From there, the contestants will take on new challenges each week, testing their ability to reimagine the potential of everyday materials. From Pride to an African festival, the possibilities are endless.
“We are delighted to have had the opportunity to produce another series of Síorstíl, putting creativity and sustainability front and centre,” says Darach Ó Tuairisg, executive producer at Fíbín Media.
“The importance of sustainability can’t be underestimated, and we need to be pioneering in our approach. Síorstíl does exactly that, and we hope it inspires everyone to rethink their approach to fashion.”
In addition to showcasing groundbreaking designs, Síorstíl offers a career-enhancing prize for the winner, made possible by two generous sponsors, Vision Ireland and the Design and Crafts Council Ireland.
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.
Tune in to Síorstíl starting Wednesday, January 14, and join in reimagining the future of fashion.
