Mad Fashion

On the premiere episode of "Mad Fashion," Chris March and his team are working with shoe designer Ruthie Davis to create a striking look for the Fashion Week launch of her new shoe line. Ruthie wants a dress that is really going to impress and is hoping that he will use her idea of a Bond girl as his inspiration. Chris' idea is to take a much more literal approach to the design and is intent on making a dress of shoes. Will his cutting-edge look leave her wishing it was for her eyes only?

Former Real Housewife of New Jersey, Dina Manzo, has sought out Chris March’s help to create a one-of-a-kind dress for the biggest drag queen event of the year, Night of a Thousand Gowns.

She is willing to suffer for fashion but when Chris chooses a fabric best described as "glittery sandpaper," he may have pushed the limit of wearable art just a little too far.

With a limited schedule, can Chris cook up two looks for these heiresses of hip-hop?
