In the series pilot, up-and-coming model Raina Marinelli is deemed the new It girl during New York Fashion Week, stealing the spotlight from veteran model Sonja Stone, who's been out of the country for unknown reasons. Meanwhile, Iowa native Chris Andrews arrives in New York City and gets his first taste of the modeling world.

Chris plans to quit modeling and leave New York until a phone call from Claudia persuades him otherwise; Marissa seeks revenge after Sonja steals a Versace campaign from her; secrets from Raina's past are revealed when Marissa brings Raina's brother to a party hosted by "Project Runway" judge Nina Garcia.

Claudia's husband considers Sonja for his cosmetic company's new campaign; Vivienne becomes jealous when Isaac starts spending time with Hayley, a new model at the residence; and Chris grows increasingly uncomfortable with Cole and Raina's working relationship.
