Project Runway Canada’s third episode leaps into the future with a challenge rooted in fabric innovation

Published on

The designers were split into two teams in episode 2, in a challenge testing their ability to envision what style might look like a hundred years from now.

We begin this week’s Project Runway Canada episode at Toronto Metropolitan University’s Design and Technology Lab, where host Coco Rocha stands next to a large robot, ready to announce this week’s futuristic-minded challenge: design avant-garde looks for the year 2125, using textiles created in the lab.

The cutting-edge materials include a transparent printed sheet, camo-patterned foil, UV foam fabric that glows in the dark and gridded cotton – all things one could fall deep into a rabbit hole trying to decode, but there’s no time for that. The designers must split into two teams and choose two tech fabrics each to incorporate into a cohesive collection.
