The designers are split into two teams living and working separately to create mini-collections celebrating color. The competition comes to a head on the day of the runway show when they reunite hoping their team is victorious.

In their first individual challenge, the designers take on streetwear. They must use their unique personal experiences and cultures to create impactful looks containing at least three separate pieces. They have $300 and two days to complete their garments.

After the designers are sent to sleep in a haunted mansion to find inspiration for their challenge, they are tasked to create a hauntingly chic masquerade gown and mask. They have $500 and two days to complete their outfits.

The designers are asked to create a comfy chic "Couch Couture" look that is both luxurious and cozy. They have $400 and one day to complete the challenge.
