Taking inspiration from the upcoming film, Cats, the designers need to tame their prints into cool street style looks that can compete on the runway.
Guest mentor Karla Welch tasks the designers with dressing her client, Karlie Kloss. The designers must recycle donated clothing from a Goodwill store to create their looks, and they must be both resourceful and fast for this one-day challenge.
The designers are challenged to think about their family histories and channel those stories into a look of their choosing. The stakes are high in this one-day challenge, as the designers must face and embrace who they are in order to succeed.
Designers are paired with real athletes who are competing to be in the 2020 Summer Olympic and Paralympic games and the designers need to make their dream outfit for a victory night celebration.
The remaining designers must think big to make an avant-garde look that is extraordinary and in a fashion first, the runway starts with a season long retrospective, outside and 16 stories high, in New York City.
