Challenge: create an avant-garde look inspired by butterflies

Dom
–Crossbreeding textiles as the butterflies crossbreed
–Jumpsuit underneath another style
Tim: “what do the judges like most from you?”

Helen
–Cape with only her face exposed. A big wrapping, cocoon-like. Then she has this orange dress.
Tim says it’s too much. She starts crying and freaking out.
Tim: “I’m going to give you some tough love. Get out of this conundrum. Rally. Rally.”

Alexandria
–Unfinished silk effect black dress.
Tim: “It’s on the Goth side. I’m a fan.”

Bradon
“My idea is that the back becomes gown-like.”
Tim: “Well, the back’s spectacular. I love it as a piece of sculpture.”

Justin
–Making a two piece garment with piping
Tim thinks the textile looks inexpensive so Justin might swap out to another fabric.

They’ll work on the models make-up with Billy B, consulting make-up artist for L’Oreal Paris and also Tom, global nail expert for L’Oreal Paris.

After working on avant garde designs, the next day the designers come in and have to make a transformation look. They choose a losing design and have to transform the look.

“Make it Work” Challenge: create a new look from a losing look from an eliminating designer

Bradon picks Sue’s losing look
Justin picks his own losing look—strapless gown with two slits
Dom picks Jeremy’s red jacket and skirt
Helen picks Kate’s pleated skirt
Alexandria picks Miranda’s look plaid pants
