Project Runway New Zealand - Season 1

A group of ambitious kiwi designers will compete for the opportunity of a lifetime. Tonight's Scandi-inspired cocktail dress challenge leaves one designer struggling at the last minute.

This week on Project Runway, the designers must create a contemporary street style look for the runway. But a curveball thrown by mentor, Andreas, has designers heading into the workroom unhappy.

The remaining designers prepare for their first unconventional materials challenge, working in pairs. Some thrive on the opportunity to work with one another; others falter and cracks begin to show.

The environmental impact fashion has on the planet takes the forefront and the designers are tasked to create a fresh new look for New World's reusable shopping bag.

The pressure begins to take its toll and Caitlin finds herself overcome with emotions. But the show must go on as the designers rally to create an Avant Garde inspired look.

Halfway through the competition, the designers meet Andreas in the forest to find trees covered in wallpaper. They are assigned to create a high-end fashion look influenced by these wallpapers.
