Week 3 of Project Runway Season 21 saw the drama intensify with the first solo challenge: The highly-anticipated unconventional materials challenge. This time, the designers were tasked with creating a runway-ready look using items from a school science fair.

Lisa Ann Walter, and Chris Perfetti from Abbott Elementary joined judge Law Roach to set the stage. Roach warned the designers against “hot-glued junk,” challenging them to be innovative and creative. The contestants had to choose from an eclectic mix of materials, including banners, balloons, volleyballs, and posterboard, to create a stunning, high-fashion piece.
