Double sets of tears flow on Project Runway NZ

Things start to get intense this week on Project Runway NZ.

Tonight on Project Runway, the designers had to create an 'Avant Garde' look inspired by a car, the Holden Astra.

"I want you to closely observe the design elements of the vehicle. Think about sculptural forms and pushing yourself to be bold in your designs," explains guest Kiwi designer Tanya Carlson.

What a bizarre challenge! Cars, trash, computer parts... this show has it all.

With a budget of $300 and two and a half days to complete it, the designers get to work to create their car dresses.

Vroom vroom, baby.

Drama unfolds as tears fall down Caitlin's cheeks in the workroom when she declares she's overly tired and the pressure of the competition was getting to her.

"I don't think I will be able to make a bloody dress today, I can't even get my head around it."

Caitlin's cry looks 1 million times cuter than Kim Kardashian's cry.

Peni stepped in and was super lovely and assured her that they "are all in it together" and gave her a big bear hug. Awwww. Nice one, Peni!

THE RUNWAY

You must be pretty hot under there, love?!

Benjamin's design was an off the shoulder metallic jacket with blue polka-dots and a huge floppy sun hat. It's interesting and unusual and definitely bold. But not super 'wow.'

Werk it, hon.

Peni's hooded garment looked very stiff on the model and she looked like a fish out of water with a swimming cap on. The floral boots were an interesting choice too.

Looks like the airbags are in full inflation.

Kerry's padded grey jacket and shiny dress situation certainly turned a few heads but the judges didn't seem to mind it.

Please don't cough on me.

Misty's creation looked loose and drapey on the model and the added surgical face mask stood out as a bold stylistic choice.

Perhaps a wee bit bottom heavy?

Beth admits her black 'balloon' garment was "something I have never done before I am so proud of what I have done."

Watch out, I am coming to sting you at a beach this summer.

Caitlin's silver and white dress looked like a cross between a jellyfish and the Jetsons.

This looks a little... uncomfortable?

Purple haired Camille made a large black oil spill look glamorous but also extremely uncomfortable and unnecessarily big on the model's tiny frame.

Femme fatale, oh la la.

Jess liked her design saying "she looks so sophisticated and she has got that killer vibe." The red details and the oversized lapel grabbed the attention of the judges.

Judy is just killing it, yet again.

Judy's design is by far the most intricate and detailed. She says she was "really happy with how the curves blended together."

The most vibrant garment on the runway.

Beau's garment was beautiful, fun, bright and feminine. Definitely, one of the brighter and bolder outfits to hit the runway – but not very 'avant-garde.'

The drama continued to unfold when we got a glimpse of a second teary meltdown - this time, by a model.

When the judges were making their final decisions and Benjamin's model burst into tears sobbing "I AM SO HOT."

"I AM SO HOT!!!!"

Judges Georgia Fowler and Benny Castles rush over to help the model undress beside the catwalk.

Georgia grabbed the polka dot jacket and says "let's go, take her out" and rushes backstage with her to comfort her.

DRAMA!

THE WINNERS AND LOSERS

Judy won the challenge this week – no surprises there. The judges loved her edgy and refined gown.

"It feels surreal," says a very shy Judy, who also won last week's red carpet competition.

A sad-looking Beau was asked to leave the competition.

"I loved my dress, I thought it was beautiful," he says.

"This experience has been amazing… it has been so good. Unfortunately, they didn't like my gown because it wasn't Avant Garde but that is alright."

See ya, Beau!
