In the tenth episode of Project Runway's tenth season, the contestants are tasked with creating a design inspired by the Rockettes, the famous dance troupe known for their high kicks and glamorous style. The challenge takes place at Radio City Music Hall, where the designers get a behind-the-scenes look at the Rockettes' costumes and get to attend their show.
The designers are divided into teams of two, and within each team, one member must create a menswear look and the other must create a womenswear look. The designs must reflect the Rockettes' signature style of precision, glamour, and showmanship, and incorporate elements such as fringe, sequins, and feathers.
The teams face some challenges along the way, as they struggle to find common ground on their designs and deal with technical difficulties such as fabric not adhering properly to glue. Tim Gunn visits each team to offer advice and guidance, and the contestants also receive critiques from guest judges The Rockettes themselves.
As the day of the runway show approaches, tensions rise between some of the designers, with one team in particular struggling to work together effectively. However, all of the designers manage to complete their looks and present them to the judges on the runway.
The judges are impressed by the overall quality of the designs, with several standout pieces that embody the spirit of the Rockettes. The winning team is selected based on the judges' evaluation of the designs' creativity, execution, and fit, and the losing team is sent home.
Overall, the episode showcases the contestants' ability to work under pressure and collaborate effectively, while staying true to their own unique design aesthetic. It also pays tribute to the iconic Rockettes and their important role in the world of dance and fashion.
