In Episode 10 of Season 18 "Project Runway" on Bravo TV, the remaining designers were tasked to created fresh, upscale designs using Tie-Dye! The Tye Dye Trend has been very popular with many designers and brands, including Burberry, Prada, Dior, and Proenza Schouler, so we wanted to see if these season's designers could give it a modern, chic look vs. "hippie-dippy/Woodstock"...

During the introduction of the Challenge, Judge and Elle Magazine editor-in-chief Nina Garcia came out on the runway stage in her very own Tie-Tye look from Prada, to show the point that tie-dye can look elevated and chic--Season 18 "Project Runway", Tie Dye Episode, Brooklyn NY

To help the designers with the Tie-Dyeing...we enlisted the amazing assistance of Metro Dyeing in NYC...they gave the designers tutorials on several different methods of tie-dyeing so they could choose whichever they wanted to do for their upscale designs...

The designers got to chose what kind of textiles to Tie-Dye on from various different textiles we got from MOOD Fabrics, including Duchesse satin, sateen, jersey, cotton poplin, and others...all in white:

The Challenge was an OVERNIGHT one, meaning they were allowed to work OVERNIGHT in order to finish...since the Tie-Dye process can take many hours to dry, we allowed them to do that. So...we provided cots for them to sleep on:
Needless to say, NONE of the designers used them--they all worked throughout the entire night (and so did we the producers!)--Season 18 "Project Runway", Tie Dye Episode, Brooklyn NY
