The future of fashion is upon us. The button bag is back, with a stylish new makeover, as the designers are divided into teams for the first time. This week's challenge tasks the designers to create a mini-collection that shows a sneak peek into the future of fashion. The designers are shocked to find out their models will be completely transformed with special effects body modifications, inspired by Simon Huck's 'A. Human' exhibit. The designers must highlight their modification with their collections, as they fight to impress the judges with their innovative take on what's next in fashion.

The designers are whisked away from their urban creature comforts for a camping trip and challenged to create "survival chic" looks while embracing the wilderness. Their work room, the accessories wall, and the runway itself have all been moved to the woods for this unconventional materials challenge like no other. Mother nature does not cooperate as the designers battle the elements in order to stay in the competition. Marni Senofonte is back to help and only the strong will survive.

The designers are awakened by a surprise visitor who may or may not have arrived by chimney. Tis the season for holiday parties and the designers will be challenged to show their sense of spirit in the perfect party dress. They quickly learn that this isn't a conventional holiday affair - it's the unconventional materials challenge. Channeling their own holiday memories, the designers have two days to transform a winter wonderland into a wearable wonder, and then it's up to the judges to decide who's been naughty or nice.
