The Fashion Show — Season 2

In the season two premiere, 12 designers arrive in New York City to compete for the chance to win a prize of $125,000. After meeting the judges – fashion icon Iman, internationally acclaimed designer Isaac Mizrahi and Special Projects Director at Harper's Bazaar Laura Brown - they are shocked to learn that for the duration of the competition they will be split into two teams and competing as dueling fashion houses. In their very first challenge, each house must create a complete and cohesive line inspired by the fashion career of Iman. Guest Judge: Fashion designer Rachel Roy

While one house struggles, the other house works seamlessly together as they create reversible looks that mirror the traveling Bodies Exhibit®. Guest Judge: Photographer Douglas Friedman

The designers go back to the future this week. After meeting Iman at the National History Museum, they each select a time capsule containing items and accessories from a specific year.
