Ep 3. En Garde Avant Garde

In Project Runway Junior season 2 episode 3, titled "En Garde Avant Garde," the young designers are challenged to create avant-garde looks inspired by the sport of fencing.

As the episode begins, the designers gather in the workroom and are greeted by host Hannah Jeter and mentor Tim Gunn. They explain the challenge and introduce the guest judge, Olympic fencer and sportswear designer Miles Chamley-Watson.

The designers are given two days to complete their looks, which must incorporate fencing materials such as mesh, leather, and metallics. The designers are excited by the challenge and begin sketching their designs.

As they work, Tim offers his advice and critiques. He encourages several designers to push their ideas further and try new techniques. He also cautions others about the potential pitfalls of their designs.

One designer struggles with the challenge, feeling overwhelmed by the materials and the pressure of the competition. Tim offers her some words of encouragement and helps her to refocus her energy.

As the second day of the challenge comes to a close, the designers put the finishing touches on their creations. They head to the runway to present their avant-garde looks to the judges.

On the runway, the judges are impressed by the creativity and ingenuity of the designs. The designers are praised for their use of unconventional materials and their bold silhouettes.

A few designers, however, receive criticism for their construction and finishing techniques. The judges note that some of the pieces could have been executed more cleanly and professionally.

In the end, the judges must choose a winning design and a designer to be eliminated. It's a tense moment as the designers wait to hear the judges' decisions.

Overall, "En Garde Avant Garde" is an exciting and challenging episode that showcases the young designers' creativity and skill. With more challenges to come, it's anyone's guess who will come out on top in this season of Project Runway Junior.
