Episode 9: Gimme Shelter Recap
Guest Judge: Rachel Roy, Designer
The designers head to the great outdoors to discover the details, and materials, for their new challenge. In pairs, they must create one avant-garde look and one ready-to-wear look. The drive to win forces the designers to prove the lengths they will go to for fashion. In the most surprising twist of the series, the remaining designers find out that they are not alone in the woods. American sportswear designer Rachel Roy joins the judging panel for the runway show.
Rachel Roy approaches the design of her eponymous collection with a feminine and modern point of view. In Fall 2004, she applied her sophisticated aesthetic to her own collection, Rachel Roy, which debuted in department and specialty stores for Spring 2005. The collection quickly garnered the attention of press and celebrities for its striking silhouettes, sophisticated color palette and inventive pairings for day and eveningwear. To date, the Rachel Roy collections are available at Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Henri Bendel’s and a variety of specialty stores worldwide.
