The designers were brought on a field trip to a modernly-designed house located in Calatagan, Batangas. Herrera greeted them by the doorway and paired the designers in teams of two members, starting with the top three designers from the previous episode picking their respective partners leaving Villafuerte the odd man out. The host then introduced him to his partner: Patrick Galang, who was eliminated in Episode 5. Herrera informed the designers of their challenge: To create an avant-garde dress inspired from the house. The designers then met Carlos Calma, the architect behind the abode, who took them on a tour inside the establishment. The house was highlighted by the use of glass panels instead of walls, rhythmic structures, and Cobonpue furniture. The designers then proceeded to Metro Gaisano department store in Market! Market! to purchase materials for their creations using a P5,000 budget.
