The designers pack their bags and head to Tokyo. Their assignment is to create a two-look streetwear collection. As one designer struggles to step out of their comfort zone, another designer looks to the local workers for inspiration.

The competition heats up. Tim assigns the designers to create one look in seven hours, using only leftover fabric and supplies. The designers are pushed to their limits and fight for their spot in the competition, taking creative risks.

Tim and Heidi take the four remaining designers to a serene tea ceremony before revealing the next assignment. Now, the designers must create a two-to-four look mini-collection that embodies the evolution of their brands since the beginning of the competition. One competitor's ambitious plan quickly unravels, while another decides to go big or go home.

The five remaining designers are challenged to create a two-look collection and a digital marketing campaign. In addition to a fashion show, the designers will have to act as creative directors in a photo shoot with their models. In an epic and rainy fashion show, some of the designers shine, while others get washed out.

In teams of two, the designers must blend their individual aesthetics into a three-look collection for a runway show on the banks of the River Seine. One designer struggles to overcome a teammate's mistake, while another pair of designers butt heads.

In front of the oldest temple in Tokyo, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn give the remaining six designers a futuristic assignment, create two looks based on the concept of opposing forces. They will then showcase their looks in a digital fashion experience.
