In Project Runway season 17 episode 3, titled "All the Rage," the remaining designers are tasked with creating a look inspired by current fashion trends that will be sold on Nineteenth Amendment, a platform for up-and-coming designers. The designers are given just one day to complete their looks, which has them all feeling the pressure. But before they can begin, Christian Siriano announces that there will be a twist to the challenge.
As the designers prepare to sketch their designs, they learn that they will be working with unconventional materials, which means that they'll have to get creative in order to make their designs work. Some designers struggle with the concept, but others are excited about the opportunity to think outside the box. One designer decides to use garbage bags as their material, while another creates a dress out of plastic cups.
Tim Gunn makes his rounds, offering advice and guidance to the designers as they work. He advises one designer that their look is too basic and doesn't meet the challenge requirements, while he commends another designer for taking a risk with their unconventional materials. As the day progresses, the designers begin to feel the pressure mounting as they struggle to complete their looks in time.
Once the designers have completed their looks, they present them to the judges, including guest judge Rachel Brosnahan, the star of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The judges are particularly impressed with one designer's use of unconventional materials, but are disappointed in another designer's lackluster look. They also take note of the trends that the designers were inspired by, noting that some designers missed the mark while others nailed it.
In the end, the judges select the top and bottom three designers, based on their looks and their ability to meet the challenge requirements. One designer is declared the winner, and their look will be sold on Nineteenth Amendment. Another designer is sent home, unable to meet the high standards of the competition.
Overall, "All the Rage" is a tense and exciting episode of Project Runway, showcasing the designers' creativity and ability to work under pressure. With the added challenge of unconventional materials, the designers are pushed to their limits, resulting in some impressive – and some not-so-impressive – looks. And with guest judge Rachel Brosnahan joining the panel, there's an added level of excitement and tension as the designers present their looks and anxiously await the judges' decisions.
