In this sustainable fashion competition show hosted by Emma Willis, we meet the first three of the nine young designers hoping to win themselves a show at London Fashion Week: Alexandra from London, Malak from Bristol and Dexter from Sussex.

Today’s theme is Animals, as set by animal-loving social media influencer Kyle Thomas, who also acts as our surprise celebrity judge.

The designers have just five hours to create animal-themed outfits for the runway, using only preloved and rescued clothes and materials found in the Fashion Closet.

Alongside Kyle Thomas, resident judges Ayishat Akanbi and Jorge Antonio crown our very first episode winner – the Design Star – who will take home the ‘ultimate fashion accessory’, a much-coveted golden coat hanger.

And the surprise Spot Challenge sees our designers challenged to make coats for three furry guests – who join them on the runway!
