The designers were introduced to fashion designer Hindy Weber-Tantoco who introduced them to their newest challenge: Create a luxurious resort wear out of what she described as "the crummiest of materials." The designers then proceeded to the work room where they discovered nine sacks containing the following materials: Banig (a woven mat made of palm leaves), white t-shirts, flannel, rags made of scrap fabric, muslin, and terrycloth towels. They were also given P1,000 (around US$20) to buy additional materials and one day to complete the design.
This episode also features a side challenge. Apples Aberin visited the work room and informed them that she will be featured at a feature spread for Pond's on Preview magazine. She asked them to sketch a design for the dress she would be wearing in the spread. Aberin then chose two designers based on the sketches who will also serve as team leaders, who in turn chose their team members. They were given seven days in a seven-week period to complete their respective dresses. The final creations for this side challenge will be revealed in a future episode, with the winning group to appear in the feature spread along with Aberin.
