Runway from the Rav: A Project Runway Podcast

They are challenged with creating a 6 piece collection in one week, but of course there's a twist! They have to present one look early to determine the final three. Then, in another twist, the runway ends in a challenge to create a look in only an hour! And in the end, we say goodbye to a very talented designer in one of the most emotional...

This week, the designers are challenged with creating avant garde looks that are out of this world! Several designers miss the mark, leading to a tense runway.

This week, the designers are treated to a fancy dinner in NYC, but of course there's a twist!

After a rather hum-drum runway, we say goodbye to TWO designers in our first double-elimination!

This week, the designers are tasked with creating post-apocalyptic looks and must use at least two different methods of distressing their garments - blowtorches and knives and (fake) blood, oh my!

We meet our 16 designers and quickly learn the twist of this season: half the contestants are All Stars rookies and half are veterans from previous seasons! The two teams are challenged to create cohesive, eight-piece collections and the winning team may surprise you.

It’s time for the final challenge before New York Fashion Week and it’s a frosty one! The designers are tasked with creating high-fashion winter wear looks and get two days and $400 to do so.

It's the Avon challenge and this week the designers are tasked with creating editorial looks inspired by breast cancer survivors - true warrior women! Most of the designs this week were just okay considering the amazing and emotional prompt, but one designer in particular veered too far into costume land and the judges sent them home. Tim Gunn disagrees with the judges and uses his Tim Gunn save at the last minue. Only one episode left before we have our final line-up!

The drama from last episode bubbles over and the cheating scandal gets wrapped up by a decisive Tim Gunn. After all that blows over, we move on to this week’s challenge: creating an avant garde look based on Shopkins dolls. Some of the designers struggle this week and the runway ends in a shocking double elimination!

This week, the designers were tasked with creating a print to be used on a ready to wear outfit and…a Dixie cup. But it’s okay, the winner also gets $25,000!

Unfortunately, some drama and cheating allegations plague the workroom and the final judging is left on a cliffhanger after Michael charges off the runway.

It’s the JCPenney challenge and the designers have to partner up and create fall fashion looks inspired by menswear.
