RECAP: There is only two weeks left to the final and the design studio is heating up. Opening the show tonight is a glimpse at mentors, John Varvatos’ spring collection and damn, the male models are hot! Cindi Leivi, Editor and Chief of Glamour magazine is there to coach the designers for this week’s challenge.

Kara Laricks is working on a tuxedo shirt, while Nzimiro Oputa wants to design a sweater but Nicole has her reservations on whether he will be able to tell a story for it. Kara wants to send a message through her clothing, that you can be whatever it is you want to be. This is Nzimiro’s first photo shoot, so he is really nervous.

Nikki knows how to make a campaign, she is choosing a maxi dress and Jessica tells her to show glamour because she thinks she has the potential to go all the way to the end. Luciana is also doing a dress, she brought some fabric from home and John likes it. Luciana says her brand is about young women who like taking risks and don’t give a damn. Luciana’s concept is creating a fantasy land, Nikki found the photo shoot to be awful and beauty pageant’ish.

Orly is creating a story of this “IT” girl that is posing for the paparazzi. Ronnie wants to represent himself in the task, chasing his dream.  Ross is making a vintage inspired hunting jacket for a southern belle, Jessica knows he can make this jacket amazing and suggests some colors for him; Jessica loved the olive, but he is going to use the navy.
