New York.
The first summer run, and the cycle's first attempt to top the consolidation season. Fifteen designers, a Manhattan workroom the show has fully internalized, and a judging rhythm operating without hesitation.
The summer-slot season that proves the format can hold the room twice a year.
A rhythm worth tracking.
The first summer-slot season, and the cycle's first attempt to push past the consolidation run. Fifteen designers fill the Parsons workroom with a louder, more confrontational energy than the prior cast, and the judging rhythm has tightened to where the runway critique lands quickly. The location is unchanged but the temperature is different — a summer New York the camera reads warmer. The canon places it mid-pack because the season is strong without quite redefining the room.
The #06 slot.
