For their next challenge, the designers must collaborate with local accessory designers to create a stylish runway look and a brand new accessory. They have $400 for fabric at Mood, an additional $250 for notions at Hai Trim & Feathers, and two days to complete the challenge.

For the last challenge, the designers must create a look showcasing their brand's point of view in the next wave of fashion. They have $750 and two days to complete their garments.
