Prajje and Chasity describe their pink-and-painted faux-fur design.
Zayden and Coral concocted a red-and-black look.
Coral and Zayden’s look was a “little more commercial” than some of the other designs, according to judge Nina Garcia, the Colombian-American editor-in-chief of Elle magazine.
Guest judge Billy Porter praised the “modernity” of Coral and Zayden’s faux-fur fashion.
Coral incorporated her signature macrame styling and buckle details into the faux-fur look.
Chasity and Prajje (not pictured) brought a bit of Jackson Pollock’s splatter-paint aesthetic into their faux-fur look.

Anna and Octavio put the finishing touches on their faux-fur ensemble.
Game of Thrones and “Arctic bride walking through the tundra” inspired this faux-fur design, according to Aaron.
Where would someone wear this look? “Somewhere fabulous like some gala at Lincoln Center” or the opera, Billy Porter said.
Nina Garcia criticized the grandiose faux-fur look for being a “bit costume.”
Aaron and Bones’ faux-fur design was “so well executed,” though Billy Porter said he would have tweaked the back cut-out or lengthened the train.
Aaron and Bones’ design got “one of the highest scores of the night,” Billy Porter said.
