Ep 2. Unconventional Movie Nite!

In Project Runway season 13 episode 2, titled "Unconventional Movie Nite!", the 16 remaining designers are tasked with creating unconventional outfits inspired by different movie genres. Each designer has to choose a movie genre out of a box, and then use unconventional materials to create a garment that represents that genre.

The designers have only one day to complete the challenge and are given a budget of $150 to purchase materials from a "movie theater" set up in the workroom. However, unlike previous unconventional challenges, the designers are not allowed to use any fabric in their designs. Instead, they have to rely on various non-conventional materials, such as popcorn, candy, and film reels.

As the designers begin to work, tensions rise when they start to struggle with finding inspiration and figuring out how to use the unconventional materials they have. Many of them seem to be out of their comfort zones and express concern about how their designs will turn out. In contrast, others remain confident in their ability to create something unique and stunning.

Throughout the episode, the designers receive feedback from judges Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia, and Zac Posen. They offer critiques and praise for some of the more successful designs while pointing out flaws and shortcomings in the others.

As the runway show approaches, the designers race to complete their outfits and fine-tune their looks. Many of the designers have created garments that reflect their assigned movie genre perfectly, such as a horror-inspired dress made entirely of popcorn or a futuristic outfit made from film reels. However, a few designers struggle and produce outfits that fail to impress the judges.

During the runway show, the judges are impressed with several designs. Some of them include an elegant, vintage-inspired gown made of film labels, a sleek and modern outfit made from film reels, and a chic dress made from popcorn bags.

However, some of the designs fall short, and the judges criticize the designers for not pushing the boundaries enough or for not executing their concepts well enough. Ultimately, one designer is sent home, while the rest move on to the next challenge.

Overall, "Unconventional Movie Nite!" is a thrilling episode of Project Runway that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. From the excitement of the challenge to the drama of the runway show, it's an unforgettable episode that showcases the creativity and skills of the talented designers competing on the show.
