The moment of Truth: After all the preparations, Refinery29 took a final spin behind the scenes—and onto the runways—of Season II's five Countdown designers. Check out the best of our favorite Fashion Week shows in our final wrap-up video...

The London-based duo race against the clock as they hustle to get their hair and makeup looks together just days before show time. Music by The Virgins and The Ponys.

Just days before his show, we caught up with designer Scott Sternberg in a mad mix of castings, fittings, and putting lots of layered looks together with his stylist, Tina Chai. Music by 1990s, The Budos Band, and Die Romantik.

Fresh from her Paris move, newly transplanted designer Erin Fetherston invited us into her new NYC workshop where we got a first look at her latest Fashion Week creations as well as a front row seat at her show casting. WATCH IT.

The Countdown to Fashion Week continues as we head to SoHo to drop into the new design studio of Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos—the duo behind the new co-ed label Shipley & Halmos—and get a peek at their upcoming collection. Music by British Sea Power and Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings.

Back for its second season, Refinery29's original video series The Countdown is heading back behind the scenes and into the studios of five of fashion's most talked about indie designers to reveal all the true stories, stress, and high-style it takes to get to New York Fashion Week. Up first: Thom Browne. Music by The Virgins and Metronomy.
