Ep 6. A Little Bit of Fashion

In Project Runway season 7 episode 6, titled "A Little Bit of Fashion," the remaining contestants face a unique challenge as they are tasked with creating a dress using materials from a pet store. The designers are given a budget of $300 and are allowed to choose from a variety of unconventional materials such as dog beds, birdseed, and aquarium rocks.

As the designers begin to work on their creations, it becomes clear that this challenge is more difficult than they initially thought. They struggle to find fabrics that can be molded into a dress shape and are forced to get creative with their materials. Some contestants opt for a more literal interpretation of the theme, creating dresses adorned with feathers, while others choose to use the materials in a more subtle way.

As time ticks down, tensions rise in the workroom as the designers struggle to finish their creations. Some contestants experience creative blocks and struggle to bring their vision to life, while others are hindered by technical difficulties. With only a few hours left until the runway show, the designers must push through their challenges to finish their dresses.

At the runway show, the judges are impressed with the designers' creativity and use of unconventional materials. Some of the standout designs include a dress made entirely out of dog beds and a gown embellished with aquarium rocks. However, not all of the designers impress the judges. Some of the dresses are criticized for being too busy or lacking cohesion.

In the end, one designer is named the winner of the challenge, while another is sent home. The judges offer critiques and feedback to each contestant, giving them valuable insight into their designs and what they can do to improve in future challenges.

Overall, "A Little Bit of Fashion" is a unique and challenging episode that showcases the designers' creativity and ability to think outside the box. With a pet store as their inspiration, the contestants are forced to adapt and improvise with their materials, resulting in some truly innovative designs.
