Episode summary

Episode 1: Welcome to Los Angeles!

Original Airdate: 20 August 2009

The designers were asked to create a dress made for a red carpet event, focusing on innovation on their creation and making a statement on who they are as a designer. They were preassigned models for their challenge, given 30 minutes to sketch their design, a 30-minute shopping spree at Mood with a budget of $200, and two days to complete their design.

Episode 2: We Expect Fashion

Original Airdate: 27 August 2009

Designers were to create a pregnancy look for supermodel Rebecca Romijn, who is carrying twins. She was looking for something that was fashionable and easy to move in, but also something appropriate for a pregnant woman to wear out in public. Designers were given 30 minutes to sketch, a 30 minute shopping spree at Mood with a budget of $100, and 2 days to complete the look. The prize for the winning designer was immunity for the next challenge.

Episode 3: Rumble on the Runway

Original Airdate: 3 September 2009

The designers were taken to the beach, where they were told to create a fashionable, surfer-inspired outfit, and were placed in teams of two:

Team Team Members
1 Shirin and Carol Hannah
2 Logan and Christopher
3 Nicolas and Gordana
4 Mitchell and Ra'mon
5 Althea and Louise
6 Qristyl and Epperson
7 Johnny and Irina

Later on in the challenge, it was revealed that they would also be creating an avant-garde look inspired by their ready-to-wear, surfer-inspired outfit. They had $50 for the first look and $200 for the second. Most of the episode focused on Qristyl and Epperson, who had trouble getting along, and Mitchell and Ra'mon; Mitchell had trouble keeping on task, which caused Ra'mon to have to create both looks mostly on his own. At judging, Qristyl and Mitchell were in the Bottom 2, Qristyl for not being able to lead her team and Mitchell for not doing anything. Ra'mon was crowned the winner, even though he was not the team leader. Mitchell on the other hand, was eliminated for not doing anything for his team's designs.

This episode marked the first person and team leader of the winning look to be eliminated.

  • Guest Judges: Max Azria (sitting in for Michael Kors), Rachel Bilson
  • Winner: Ra'mon Lawence Coleman
  • Eliminated: Mitchell Hall

  • Guest Judges: Marc Bouwer (sitting in for Michael Kors), Zoe Glassner (sitting in for Nina Garcia), Jennifer Rade
  • Winner: Althea Harper
  • Eliminated: Qristyl Frazier

Episode 5: Fashion Headliners

Original Airdate: 17 September 2009
