Episode 1: Fashion is a Battlefield

Original Airdate: January 27, 2009

14 designers took part in the second season of Project Runway. They stayed in Ottawa, Ontario. For their first challenge, they were given the task of making a ground-breaking design with various camouflage prints, and the winner of the challenge would have their design displayed in the Canadian War Memorial Museum. While designing, Jaclyn, who suffers from chronic insomnia had a panic attack caused by lack of sleep. She was taken to the hospital and withdrew from the competition. The next day, Danio's legs were in excruciating pain, and after a period of contemplation he also withdrew from the competition. On the runway show, Adejoké and Sunny's design impressed, while Jason, Christie and Camille's flopped. Camille was eliminated due to a lack of vision and technical skills. After three leave the competition, eleven designers remain.

Episode 2: Claim to Fame

Original Airdate: February 3, 2009

The eleven remaining designers were charged with making a glamorous dress for a night out for Elisha Cuthbert, who would wear the winning look. Brandon had trouble coming up with a concrete idea, leading to his apparent plagiarism of Margarita's design. Margarita had trouble with her complicated design when the fabric stretched after being sewn. The two of them landed in the bottom two, she for her cheap look and he for his extremely short, figure-skater costume. Adejoke and Jeff were also criticised for their outfits as well, she for taking advantage of her immunity and he for poor fit and sad colour. While Jason and Sunny were praised for their dresses and Elisha mentioned that she would wear both of them. Margarita was eliminated after Shawn Hewson turned to Elisha Cuthbert and told her he hoped she would never wear her dress.

Episode 3: Colour Me Right

Original Airdate: February 10, 2009

The ten remaining designers were split into five groups of two:

Sunny and Baylor Christie and Jason Brandon and Adejoké Kim and Genevieve Jessica and Jeff

After a presentation by the L'Oreal Paris team on their upcoming colors for Spring 2009, the teams were given the task of creating one day look and one glamorous evening look that matched the creative vision. The winning teams' designs and models would be featured in ad campaigns in Shoppers Drug Mart stores across the nation. From early on it was apparent that Christie and Jason were not working well together, arguing over everything from fabric choice to the complexity of the design. Jeff had planned an ambitious gown made of bias strips but ran out of time and had to glue them onto the muslin, which showed on the runway. The judges eventually chose to eliminate Christie, whose confusion and inability to produce a cohesive design proved to be her downfall, while Sunny and Baylor were recognized for their outstanding work.

Episode 4: Re-Fashioning the Houses

Original Airdate: February 17, 2009

The nine remaining designers were split into three groups of three, each choosing a team leader and a fashion house:

Kim, Brandon and Baylor: Yves Saint Laurent Jessica, Jeff and Jason: Valentino Sunny, Genevieve and Adejoké: Versace

The designers were then brought to a warehouse, where they were told that they would have to reconstruct three couture garments in the vein of their chosen house out of old clothing. Brandon immediately worried his teammates when he told them that he knew nothing about YSL, and Jessica had serious doubts about her leadership abilities and garment. Jason was forced to pad his model when the garment did not fit properly. In the end, Jessica's team was safe. The judges liked Sunny's team as a whole but thought Adejoké's garment was too safe, and disliked Kim's team but liked the direction of Baylor's design. Sunny was chosen for a second win in a row; the bottom two came down to Kim, whom the judges felt had led her team in the wrong direction with ready-to-wear rather than couture despite an interesting design, and Brandon, who did not seem to understand what couture meant or who the giants of fashion history were. Kim was saved for her technical skills, and Brandon was the fourth designer eliminated.

Guest Judge: Wayne Clark Winner: Sunny Fong Eliminated: Brandon R. Dwyer

(This episode was dedicated to former contestant Danio, who died during filming of the season)

Episode 5: Something Old, Something New

Original Airdate: February 24, 2009

The remaining designers were randomly paired up with recently divorced women, and given the task of taking their wedding dresses and redesigning them into something new based on their criteria. Kim and Jeff were initially worried due to a lack of fabric, while Baylor wasn't sure how to use his fabric. Jason sewed the name of his client's son inside her jacket as a special touch. Despite barely changing the garment, Jeff was deemed safe, as well as Genevieve. After an emotional outburst on the runway, Kim called Jeff out but Iman disagreed with her. Kim and Jason teamed up on Jeff in the waiting room. Sunny earned his third win in a row, while Baylor's poor use of a good fabric got him cut in a shocking elimination.

Guest Judge: Justina McCaffrey Winner: Sunny Fong Eliminated: Baylor Orlando

Episode 6: Hope Springs Eternal

Original Airdate: March 3, 2009

The designers, in this episode, had to make a day-to-evening dress for Winners' Spring 2009 collection with $100 and one day to put it together, and the winning design would be sold in select Winners stores across Canada. Jeff decided to try an ambitious reversible dress with hand-stitched seams and cross-stitched details. This turned out to be a bad idea as he quickly ran out of time and was forced to glue on the fabric and draw the details in marker. On the runway he initially told the judges that the designs were sewn, but after being called out by fellow designers he admitted that he drew them on. In the end, Genevieve and Jeff were in the bottom two, Genevieve because the judges felt that her design was too 'night' and not enough 'day', and that she gave them too much lip when trying to explain herself, and Jeff for his uninspired, rushed creation. Jeff was ultimately eliminated.

Episode 7: Stick To It

Original Airdate: March 10, 2009

The designers had to make a gown out of post-it notes. They were allowed to use fabric as a base, but no fabric was allowed to show. Instead of their regular models, the designers were paired with breast cancer survivors, as Post-It supports breast cancer research in Canada. Sunny struggled at first due to the fact that he had recently lost his father to cancer, but once again turned out an amazing design. Jessica, despite scrapping her original design in favour of a new one on the second day, won her second challenge in a row. The bottom two came down to Adejoké, whose overcomplicated design had too many details and was unflattering, and Jason, whose excessively embellished dress ended up looking simply like a pile of post-it notes walking down the runway. He was eliminated, despite a strong showing in previous challenges.

Guest Judge: Marie Saint-Pierre Winner: Jessica Biffi Eliminated: Jason Meyers

(This episode was dedicated to Jason Meyers model Janice Bourgon. Janice died of breast cancer between the filming & airing of this episode.)
