But theres no time for gratitude now these designers need to get to work.
They each have four weeks and $4,000 to create a six-look collection.
These young designers need to go, go, go!

Okay,now, they can go start working.
Samantha takes the subway to Queens while Peytie and Zachary head to California and Maya goes to Ohio.
The designers give us camera-phone video check-ins as they work.

First up is Peytie.
She tells Tim that she hasnt slept for weeks because shes so worried.
But hes impressed with what she has done.
Barbara Nitke/Lifetime
Her inspiration is travel, so she uses lots of different fabrics and patterns.
Her sister helped her by hand-painting gold designs on some of the fabric.
Thats one talented family!

Tims critique is that she needs to work on her construction and tame her textiles a bit.
Maya is up next.
Shes almost in tears when Tim walks in because shes so nervous.
She said shes been struggling with who she is as a designer during her time home.
But her Warrior in the Springtime collection doesnt show it.
Like he told Peytie, Tim says Maya should be careful with her textile use.
But other than that, its just working on details.
Samantha has way more than just details to work on.
She doesnt even have enough pieces to show Tim.
Tim wants to see more color from the collection; its very one-note.
And he says she needs to worry about her silhouettes, that they dont go Michelin Man.
Zachary gets probably the most detailed critique which makes sense considering he was the last eliminated designer.
His inspiration is the duality of the world, so hes tried to incorporate black with pastel colors.
Samantha is still incredibly far behind butstillnot as worried as she should be.
This is the first time weve heard of it.
They act shocked, which always makes me LOL.
This happens every season.
And the judges have mostly favorable responses.
They appreciate her inspiration and like the fabrics, but she needs to work on fit issues.
Kelly thinks she did an amazing job, but she needs to work on finishings.
Aya says she doesnt mind that he designs for a mature woman.
So all around confusing responses for Zachary to interpret.
If I had to guess, Id sayMayas collection is the judges favorite tonight.
Regardless, Christian thinks it looks amazing.
Aya wishes she would play more with silhouettes and quit sticking to boyshorts and culottes.
The judges also ask for more color and maybe an evening look.
Do the judges realize Fashion Week starts in TWO DAYS??
Tim tells the designers they need to step it up, and then were left waiting for next week.
What do you think can these designers make the necessary changes in time?
After seeing the collections, whos your favorite frontrunner?
