Ep 9. Trouble in the Lounge

In season 1 episode 9 of Under the Gunn, titled "Trouble in the Lounge", the remaining designers face a new challenge as they design looks for a VIP lounge at a major festival. The twist? The lounge will be designed for a specific musical genre, assigned to the designers randomly.

Mentors Mondo Guerra, Anya Ayoung-Chee, and Nick Verreos are joined by guest judges singer/songwriter Zendaya and designer Rebecca Minkoff. As the designers begin sketching and choosing fabrics, tensions rise in the workroom as some struggle with the challenge and others clash with their teammates.

During the model fitting, the designers must make last-minute adjustments as their looks come together. Some struggle with fit and construction issues, while others find creative ways to incorporate the musical genre into their designs.

As the runway show approaches, the designers rush to finish their garments and prepare for the judges' critiques. The VIP lounge looks range from punk rock to country to EDM-inspired, but only three designers will be chosen as the top performers of the week.

In the end, one designer is eliminated, while the remaining seven move on to the next challenge. The competition heats up as the designers continue to impress the judges and push themselves creatively.
