The designers were given 30 minutes and $75 to shop for items, and then one day to complete the outfit. The winner received immunity for the next challenge.

Episode 2: Grass Is Always Greener

They were given $75 and one day to finish their garments. The winner did not receive immunity, but did get to sell their garment on Bluefly.

Episode 3: Bright Lights/Big City

The designers were tasked to create a look of their choice inspired by the vibrant nightlife of New York City.
