M&S: Dress the Nation

AJ Odudu and Vernon Kay host the grand final of the series. In this episode, the three remaining designers each create full clothing collections, developing every piece from concept to finished garment, and then present their work on a catwalk runway.

The programme reaches its climax with a grand final that’s presented by AJ Odudu and Vernon Kay. As the two presenters take charge of the closing episode, viewers are led into the decisive stage of the competition, where the remaining talent gets its moment in the spotlight. At this point only three designers are left in the contest. Each of them is tasked with developing an entire clothing collection, rather than a single piece, and then presenting the full range on a runway. Their work is displayed in a catwalk event that serves as the final showcase of the series. The hosts, AJ Odudu and Vernon Kay, guide the proceedings, introducing the designers and the collections as they appear on the catwalk. Their role is to keep the audience informed about each designer’s concept and to facilitate the transition between the runway displays. The episode centres entirely on the creation and exhibition of the designers’ collections, with the catwalk acting as the platform for the final judgement. The format ensures that the three remaining contestants each have the chance to demonstrate their full vision before the competition concludes.
