By Jeff Long | Season 10 | Episode 13 | Aired on 10.11.2012
There's a note from Heidi and Tim and a bottle of champagne. It reminds them of the pre-Fashion Week runway show. Dmitry toasts everyone and says that he hopes they all get to show. The next day, they go to their new work space. There are black and white photographs of this season all over the room.
They start pulling out their collections. Melissa interviews that she loves Fabio's palette and she's very proud of him. Christopher doesn't feel like Melissa pushed herself enough. Dmitry thinks that Christopher's collection is a little slutty. Melissa really likes everyone's work and it's making her doubt herself again.
Tim comes in to say hello. He tells the designers that they will each present three looks to the judges the next day. Fabio says that this is his most stressful moment. Tim tells them that they should be nervous. Melissa spirals into doubt valley.
Christopher doesn't know what he's going to show. He mixes and matches his separates. Tim comes in again and Fabio stands by his pants and shoes. Finally, Tim just has to concede that the judges will either love it or hate it. Fabio says that that's just life. Seriously. What a little muffin. Tim likes what Christopher did to the bustier re: bleaching. Christopher hasn't made a decision about what he's going to show and he's OK with that. Tim tells Melissa to chill the hell out. Christopher thinks that Dmitry's collection is crazy. He's only showing black and white stuff and Tim thinks that might be a mistake. Dmitry says that he thinks he will be able to explain.
Tim leaves and they get back to work. They are very quiet and nervous. The next day, they're back in the workroom and nervous as ever. Tim comes in and tells them that they'll have three hours to dress their models and one hour for hair and make-up. Christopher didn't have enough time to alter any of the garments. Hair and make-up seems to go well. Fabio says that he feels like he's being choked.
On the runway, Heidi greets everyone. They say they have all been crazy and busy. Heidi says that three designers will move on and one will be out. Gross. There's no guest judge.
The show begins with Dmitry. He shows a white dress with geometrical shapes all over it. It fits perfectly and is very interesting. The next look is this translucent top with a bra underneath and feathered shoulder pads with some snazzy white slacks. Too Easter European. Next, he shows a jacket with fringe all over the sleeves. I don't know about this. Dmitry feels very proud.
