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.

Each of the remaining designers is given five months and $10,000 to design a 10-piece collection for Fashion Week. In the interim, each gets a special visit in their hometown from Christian Siriano. Back in New York, they present their work at Fashion Week and a winner is crowned.
