"Host Emma Willis wears a vintage Madonna T-shirt, which turns out to be a clue about the design brief: nostalgia. In many ways, it's the perfect theme, because fashion is all about reimagining aesthetics from the past to make them feel current and fresh. The contestants have just six hours (eek!) to create a look which embodies their version of nostalgia, using five pre-loved pieces."
"Saabira has something to prove. In week one, the London-based designer found herself at the bottom of the pack, but it looks as if she's got her groove back. Following Emma's lead, Saabira is paying homage to the queen of pop: Madonna. Her stage-ready look, which incorporates 90s camo fabric, features a recreation of the iconic cone bra. Most people associate the pointed bra design with Jean Paul Gaultier."
Eight designers from across Europe compete to reinvent pre-loved garments under a nostalgia brief for a chance to showcase at the Oxfam runway during London Fashion Week. Each designer has six hours and five pre-loved pieces to create a nostalgic look. Saabira channels Madonna with a stage-ready outfit incorporating 90s camo and a recreated cone bra, while noting Angela Dean's claim about the design's origins. Emily builds a Top Gun–inspired jumpsuit from shirts. Self-taught Charlotte stitches vintage band T-shirts with neon green fabric and an adjustable tartan skirt for a rave-inspired ensemble. David and Chiara pay homage to their grandparents.
