If I had to describe his design style and personality in one word, it would be . . . . . AWKWARD!

Episode 1 - The designers had to bring an original piece with them, then were told to create a companion piece for it.

I liked his first look and glad they kept him. But once he uses stuffed animals he will be out.

The first outfit looks like it belongs on a harajuku girl. I'm okay with an oddball personality as long as they can deliver on the runway. From what we saw in the premiere, I don't think he can.

The first outfit looks like it belongs on a harajuku girl.

My exact thought when I saw the outfit. I would like to see if he delivers something else but I'm sure its all gonna be the same kookiness.

Episode 2 - An unconventional challenge at Dylan's Candy bar, where the designers had $250 to buy material to make an outfit using candy.

Episode 3 - The designers worked in teams of two to create one runway design for former Project Runway contestants. The color of their Lexus GS vehicle must be seen in the final garments. Each pair had $300 and one day to complete the task. The winner also gets the big bonus of accompanying his/her client to the Emmys.
