We’re approaching the midway point of Project Runway Canada, which means the challenges are only going to get more, well, challenging. Now that we’ve weeded out a few designers who didn’t quite measure up technically, we’re entering a long haul that’s bound to trip up even the frontrunners.
This week’s episode partnered with Joe Fresh for a two-in-one challenge: The designers were tasked with building a look around an existing basic from the brand’s repertoire that then must transform into a second look mid-runway. For fans of RuPaul’s Drag Race, this move is known as the “ruveal”: a mid-strut outfit change or dramatic wig toss that reveals a second (or even third) wig or look underneath. It gives the judges a little razzle dazzle, and highlights how inventive (or not) the designers can be with pieces they’ve been randomly assigned.
