Parsons School of Design: This famous school is where the designers complete challenges.
Mood Fabrics: This store totally lucked out when they inked a deal with Bravo to be the sole provider of fabric and materials for all design challenges.
New Gotham: The past three seasons, contestants shacked up at the Atlas New York but this season they are in the new digs at New Gotham. Located on 520 West 43rd Street, the apartment building is just a short walk away from Parsons and offers 24-hour personalized concierge service, a full gym and a basketball court--not that the contestants have time for physical fitness.
Bryant Park: This is where each season culminates with the final three showing off an extended collection in the tents at Bryant Park during Fashion Week. In the first episode of Season 4, contestants raced each other across the green to fight for fabrics.
Steve & Barry's: In the second episode of Season 4, fashion icon Sarah Jessica Parker asked the contestants to design a two-piece outfit for her Bitten line sold at Steve & Barry's nationwide. Victorya and Kevin won with their vest and dress ensemble. But for folks in Manhattan, you will have to schlep over to Elizabeth, NJ for a Steve & Barry store.
Today Show Studio: For the third episode, the cast head over to the Today Show studios where they find their challenge is to design an outfit for former NFL baller Tiki Barber.
The Offices of Nina Garcia: Nina Garcia is the fashion director for Elle magazine as well as one of the three judges. In the fourth episode, she presents some of the outdated trends of the past (shoulder pads, neon, overalls) that Elle has covered and challenges designers to make them new again.
