The best of the franchise returns!
A new batch of the most creative kids on TV are with us for the next few months.
There are so many talented kids out there!
Lifetime
Lets meet them, shall we?
Cartier, 16, is from Idaho and received very little screentime.
Chelsea, 14, is from California and wants to be adopted by Tim Gunn.
Lifetime
Chris, 17, is from Long Island, and that pretty much explains everything about him.
(Seriously, how do they find these amazing kids?)
Izzy, 16, is from Michigan and wears sprouting plants on her head.
Lifetime
I do not know why, but it makes me feel very old and uncool.
Lucas, 14, is from Florida and must have been hiding from the camera.
Molly, 17, is from Colorado and has participated in numerous fashion weeks before.
Rene, 17, is from Texas and likes to design bondage couture.
There are children watching, no, there are childrenonthis show, Rene!
Ruby, 14, is from Rhode Island and immediately my favorite.
Tieler, 16, is from Louisiana and has a cool name.
All 12 designers converge on Central Park, where Hannah Davis and Tim come to introduce themselves.
The teens scream as if theyre in the presence of fashion gods.
And then promptly freak out when they realize theyre starting their challenge immediately.
After sketching in the park and shopping in Mood, the kids get their first look at the workroom.
(A Brother sewing room what!?
Lifetime
Such a shock.)
They work for a little bit until Tim comes to do critiques.
Tim doesnt seem convinced, but Chris says hes not nervous.
But the best critiques are Renes and Chelseas.
As soon as Tim walks up to him, Rene says Hi, dad, how are you?
She needs a hug.
Luckily, Tim agrees to the hug.
But not her dress timeline.
He tells her to get moving and she starts panicking.
On the runway, Hannah introduces them to returning judges Kelly Osbourne, Christian Siriano, and Aya Kanai.
After the looks walk the runway, all the judges praise them for such an excellent show.
And then they promise to give them honest and straightforward critiques as if they were full-fledged designers.
Chelseasays she pictured a triple-agent spy assassin and lucky for her, it is a vision the judges support.
Hannah says the neon on black is great.
We just got a design critique with a side of life lesson.
You guys, have I mentioned how much I love this show?
Izzywas inspired by all the runners in Central Park, so she wanted to create an athleisure couture design.
Aya likes how she gathered the skirt and was able to create a feminine yet sporty aspect.
Hannah says it was breathtaking and Christian says she did a good job balancing the edgy elements.
Christells the judges he loves color and pattern, which Im sure they could tell by now.
Christian says he appreciates thatkindof aesthetic, but it doesnt work here.
Hannah says she doesnt feel like she knows who Chris is.
Aya says that when everything has emphasis, nothing has emphasis.
But its okay because the judges love it.
I lovedRubythe moment I met her her name is Ruby, after all!
Plus, shes adorable and soft-spoken and her design is cute.
The judges probably think the same thing, but they wish shed done a little more.
A vet of the runway already,Mollyexplains her aesthetic as streetwear with boho elements.
Hannah says it IS boho, but it doesnt seem like something a boho girl would buy.
Kelly says theres too much fabric, and Christian says it feels downright frumpy.
After more deliberation from the judges how hard would it be to send one of these kids home?!
Izzy and her sprouted headband clinch the win while my favorite, Ruby, goes home.
I feel like I cursed her.
Im so sorry, Ruby.
