20x10: Freedom

For the first time, the final seven designers are given the freedom to design whatever they want; on the grand outdoor runway of Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms State Park, their daring "freedom looks" will be unveiled, rain or shine.

This season's all star designers

I can't believe that they made the poor models do that runway show in the rain. They must have been freezing with all that wind and rain!

You could clearly see the hierarchy though. Production clamped umbrellas to the judges' chairs, the designers were sitting out in the rain with their hoods pulled over their heads, and the models were walking in the rain with their skirts and capes whipping around in the wind.

What really confused me was the lighting set up. Great that they set up some lights so it wasn't pitch dark for the show, but all of the lights were set up at the back of the runway so the models were backlit and the judges couldn't see any details. Those lights were pointing straight at the judges, hence why they were all wearing their sunglasses at night.

And after all that, they all went back to the set for the judges' critiques! Why did they make everyone endure the rain and cold when they had the option to go back to the studio? I'm guessing there was money exchanged and they would have been in breach of contract if they didn't film at the park.

They want us to think the fashion industry is about braving the elements or some shit

I could also see production saying everything is set up, this will be a waste if we don't do it, so it's happening. Setting up everything in the studio would've probably meant delays too.

And as you said, there was probably some contract signed to do the show in that park.

It was probably going to be a day shoot, then maybe they thought the rain would pass, then it got later and later and they thought, screw it we'll go back inside!

What was the point of having Christian sit with the judges for the show, then not the critique?

Anyways.

Yeah, the runway looked very dark to me
