Ep. 3: Smile Down the Runway
Ikuto blanks out from the pressure and the use of unfamiliar cloth and needles. As Chiyuki pulls him up to encourage him again, he realizes that she too is afraid, but nevertheless is fighting for her own dream. With several minutes before Chiyuki has to go out, Ikuto uses unconventional methods to bring the dress together, receiving support from the other models to buy a little more time. The audience is set abuzz when seeing a short model on the runway. Chiyuki risks embarrassing herself further when she crouches down as the shoemaker had accidentally used a broken heel, but is saved by Ikuto purposely not tying off the last thread of her neckline. The thought of Ikuto changing her dress without her notice brings a smile onto her face, although models are always taught never to fall or smile on the runway. Despite this, it earns Chiyuki a standing ovation and she finishes perfectly, changing her gait to return backstage. As the fitter points out their flaws, the two resolve to improve and return here with their own brand. Yanagida acknowledges Ikuto's potential and decides to train him. (Source: Wikipedia)
