The designers are told that they will make a creation for an accessory. Transported to Central Park, Tim Gunn reveals their inspiration: dogs!   Each designer chooses their muse, and then designs an outfit for the owner they imagine the dog would have, as well as for the dog itself. The third contestant is eliminated from the show.

The show begins with a twist: the models choose their designers. After that, the models continue to drive the challenge as each one chooses a Fashion Icon for their designer must create a look for.
