Spoke too soon…it’s time for the season’s second unconventional challenge.
Give me some fabric," pleads Brandon.
But there’s no fabric for this challenge, not even supplemental fabric from Mood.

Instead, the designers must use safety items stuffed into three Lexuses (Lexi?).
They only have until 11 p.m. that evening to make it work.
You would have thought these two would have learned their lesson, but…no.

Anyway, Kenya is struggling with her design right off the bat because of a supplies shortage.
When Tim comes for critiques, Michael basically only has rope to show.
He’s doing something bondage-inspired with all the bungee cords…but in a “sophisticated way.”

This just seems to perplex Kentaro even more than usual.
For the other designers, Tim gives bits of advice that the designers seem to ignore.
It wouldn’t be a season ofProject Runwaywithout a last-minute zipper break!

RobotandProject Sammy’s Way.
Zac and Nina do not agree.
Although he struggled with the challenge, Brandon pulled out a look that the judges love.

Nina loves seeing him play with movement and appreciates that he’s sticking with his street aesthetic.
Heidi loves that it’s flirty yet hard at the same time.
Nina starts off Michael’s critique by saying it’s not one of her favorite looks.

And it just goes downhill from there.
Carly says, bluntly, that it’s hooker-ish, tacky, and cheap.
Zac says that he likes the blue color, and “that’s about it.”

Even with her seatbelt shortage and broken zipper, Kenya ended up in the top.
Heidi loves the detail and how she worked with the seatbelts and made them the highlight.
Carly felt it was classic, simple, and great.
Ayana wanted to pull out all the stops and take a risk, and she certainly did.
Heidi says her look is fantastic and so over the top, but she loves it.
Zac says it’s “hot, bold, and big.”
Nina isn’t a fan of it and feels he lacked vision.
Heidi says it’s too stiff, and Carly says it doesn’t feel like fashion.
Zac says he thinks he was on the right path, but he overloaded it and made it kitsch.
Winner:Ayana
Out:Michael
What did you think of this week’s challenge?
Are you ready for the designers to just focus on great design sans gimmicks?
Well, don’t hold your breath because it looks like next week is wrestling themed.
Oh,Project Runway, how you toy with us.
