What a way to start the show.

Despite the fasct that it came after America\'s Next Top Model, Manhunt and the like, this show has a more brainy sense to it.

Especially in this first episode, it was a great idea to really test the contestant\'s creativity and skills by having them pick up clothing \"fabric\" from a supermarket.

I hate to admit it, being fashion forward myself (at least I think so), I know I would have thought out of the box ENOUGH as had Austin, choosing corn leaves. The first time I saw it, I was thinking what I would get if I were there and I was thinking of placemats... which in retrospect, is kinda boring, I think.moreless

- Austin was the winner of the challenge. He gained immunity for the next challenge. Edit
- Daniel was the 1st designer eliminated. Edit
- Morgan, Kara Saun's model, was an hour late for her fitting, giving Kara only an hour to prepare her for the runway show. Her excuse- her mother, who usually wakes her up, was out of town. As a result of her irresponsibility, she was dropped by her agency. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Robert: Wendy's great. I like to call her mom, cause she treats us like we're her kids, which is great. Edit
- Wendy: (shopping for the first challenge) I shop every day of my life. I have never approached a grocery store with fear. Edit
- Tim Gunn: There's a seduction about Daniel. When you're within three feet of him you get into his orbit, and you believe, but when you step back you look at what he's done and you ask yourself, 'What is that?!'

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Daniel: (referring to his design) I'm imbuing the spirits of Picasso and Marcel DuChamp. Marcel DuChamp was a French-American artist associated with Surrealism and cubism. Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter and sculptor, co-founder of cubism. Edit
- Daniel: (in a New York accent) Mary, you're hired! Daniel was pretending to be Donald Trump on his TV show The Apprentice. Edit
