03x09 - Couture Du Jour

[bunniefuu]

[Heidi] Previously on Project Runway...

For your next challenge, you will be designing

an outfit for the everyday woman.

[gasping] Oh, my God!

[Laura] There's my mother, standing on the stage

next to Heidi Klum.

[whispering] So scared.

People felt uncomfortable with this challenge.

Why am I being treated like this?

How am I treating you? I ended up with Angela's mom.

It's Jeffrey, he's the a*s.

I don't appreciate you even standing here.

[upbeat music playing]

Congratulations...Vincent!

[Jeffrey] I definitely hope that I can keep this going

to the final three.

Robert, you've bored us more than once,

and this time, you're out.

Auf Wiedersehen.

[Heidi] The winner of Project Runway

will receive a spread in ELLE magazine,

a mentorship with INC, International Concepts Design,

a 2007 Saturn Sky Roadster,

and $100,000 to start their own line

furnished by TRESemmé Professional Hair Care.

This is Project Runway.

Fashion is my life.

I'm going to win.

[Heidi] Fifteen contestants.

I'm fabulously glamorous.

I've got mad skills.

But only one can be the winner.

I'm better than they are.

-You gotta be kidding me. -[laughing]

For these 15 contestants,

Project Runway is the chance of a lifetime.

[upbeat music playing]

[Kayne] It was definitely sad seeing Robert leave,

just because we kept up all the banter

and making fun of Laura and Angela,

and everyone else here, I guess.

[Kayne] I'm sad, but, you know,

I am excited that I'm here,

not to be selfish.

[Vincent] I was happy for myself to win.

It's a good shot in the arm,

it keeps me going now, for the next challenge.

Now I can tell you are pregnant.

So you don't think I'm just making it up to get attention?

[designer] Yeah, I though at first but now I can see it.

It's actually not the kind of attention I want to be honest.

Having the amount of children that I've had

has never stopped me from moving forward in the past,

so I'm sure it's not gonna stop me

from moving forward in this venture either.

[Laura] I absolutely believe

that I belong in the final three.

-Check this out. -Yeah.

I'm not letting Angela come down and smoke

a [bleep] cigarette if I want to go to sleep.

[Vincent] No, there's no way.

That happened to Michael the other night.

Two nights ago, he was trying to sleep,

and they were like, Angela wants to come down

-and smoke a cigarette. -So you just tell her.

[Jeffrey] I'm very happy that I survived the last challenge.

You know, it was just a nightmare. Freaking nightmare.

Angela tried to get me eliminated.

[Angela] On the last challenge,

Jeffrey was a complete a*s

to my mom.

It would've been a huge relief if Jeffrey had gone home.

-Hello. -[designers] Hi.

Are you ready for your next challenge?

[Angela] Yes.

First, let's bring out your models.

[tense music playing]

[Heidi] Models, this is a competition for you too.

The model paired with the winning designer

will get a fashion spread in ELLE magazine.

We didn't use your models in the last challenge.

So now there's nine models,

and only seven designers.

I'm going to let you pick again.

And two models will be out.

Vincent, you were the winner of the last challenge.

So you get the first pick.

I'm going to stay with Jia.

I'm gonna draw your names out of this bag

to see who picks next.

-Uli. -I will stay with Lindsay.

She's been great.

Jeffrey.

I'm gonna stick with Marilinda.

Laura.

-I will stick with Camilla. -[Heidi] Michael.

Nazri has given me two wins, so I'm gonna go with her again.

-Angela. -Clarissa.

Models, there are three of you left.

Danielle,

Alexandra,

Amanda.

Two of you will be out.

Kayne, there's only one button in here, and that is you.

[Kayne] I am going to have to stick with Amanda.

The only reason I chose Amanda

over the other two models is because when she's onstage,

she [bleep] sells it.

[laughing]

Amanda has been all but consumed with this competition.

I mean, everybody wants to win,

but she feels she "deserves" a whole lot of things.

Alex and Danielle,

that means you're out.

Auf Wiedersehen.

Thank you.

[designers] Bye, take care.

For your next challenge,

you will be designing an outfit for...

a hip, international jet-setter.

First thing I thought about was me.

No, I'm just kidding.

My mind started racing, you know, who could it be?

[Kayne] I thought it might be Tara Reid,

because she's the only jet-setter that

I can think of that was hip.

She had that show Taradise. And she always took off

her tops and showed her boobies.

Okay, you have your challenge.

Tim will fill you in on the details in the workroom.

And remember, there are benefits to winning

that will be revealed in a future challenge.

So make sure to wow us.

Bye!

[designers] Bye, Heidi!

[Tim Gunn] As Heidi said,

you will be designing an outfit

for a hip, international jet-setter.

What she didn't tell you,

is that you will be designing this outfit for yourself.

Oh, yay!

[clapping]

I'm an international, trendy jet-setter,

so I was really happy about that.

For me, it's kind of a shock.

I've never made men's clothing in my life.

You will each model your own look

in the runway show.

-Oh, my God, this is so cool. -[Kayne] Shut up.

[Tim] The models you just selected

will be used in the next challenge,

not this one.

Okay?

You have a budget of $75.

You have one day to pull it all together.

Wow.

And you have 15 minutes to sketch.

Oh, my gosh!

To me, a jet-setter is somebody who has tons of extra money,

who can just jet-set around the world.

-Paris Hilton. -Rock stars.

Someone that's always on the go.

A jet-setter would definitely be looking

to pack things that don't wrinkle.

So you have to have an outfit that is comfortable, breathable,

that's gonna travel well.

My husband and I live on a farm in Ohio.

It's very rural and isolated.

So, I really can't wrap my mind

around flying to different countries

just to go to parties.

[Laura] I went with a c*ck dress.

I thought it would be the quickest way to go.

And I didn't want to get caught in a time crunch.

I never made menswear in my life.

[Jeffrey] I think this challenge is perfect for me.

I'm making a rock and roll, single-button blazer,

a black fish mouth T-shirt,

and I'm making these tight pinstripe pants.

I'm not gonna have a problem with the design.

It's really just gonna be the execution.

[Tim] Time's up. All right, let's go.

[tense music playing]

Can you come over here for me, for just a second?

And turn around.

I just want to see something.

At Mood, I got this gorgeous Versace silk burnout fabric.

What I'm doing is a black crisp shirt, very tailored,

snaps down the front,

and then I'm using the Versace print,

cutting it out, and putting it on the back and on one sleeve.

[trilling] Gorgeous!

[Jeffrey] I think Kayne has tacky taste.

The fabric is gonna look very Liberace Vegas.

I got this wax-treated purple wool.

It looks like purple leather. Really pretty.

[Tim] Are you doing all right?

-I'm doing well. -Just remember, hip.

-Hip, international. -Absolutely.

[Michael Knight] I'm really trying to go

for Hamptons meets the 'hood.

The outfit I'm designing fits

where I'm gonna be jetting off to.

The Hamptons, St. Tropez.

I'm gonna rock the hell out of it on the runway.

[upbeat music playing]

[Laura] Wow, Uli. It's an Uli expl*si*n.

That's right.

Always, when I work, I usually fly

to some exotic location.

I always have my party dresses with me.

You know, it's something you can wear a whole evening,

even if you get wasted.

That's why I picked crazy colors.

[Angela] I don't know anybody

who's an international jet-setter.

I guess, I would say... [laughs]

My cousin, um, Jack, is--

goes all over the world hunting and all this stuff.

And his sister calls him the hillbilly jet-setter.

But in terms of it being, like,

the luxurious lifestyle in Europe,

to me that's just really foreign.

Are you standing there in your underwear?

-[laughter] -Look at those gams!

[Vincent] Me? No.

Kinda fun because I don't know what I'm doing.

[laughs]

If it was up to me, I would be

coming to work in my boxers every day.

I don't know if I should be doing that,

but I'm gonna think about it.

I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't

become a trend, you know?

[laughing]

That's it, get a laugh, get a laugh.

I'm trying to figure out how to make a pants pattern.

I'll figure it out, one way or another.

We'll make this work.

[upbeat music playing]

[Jeffrey] I swear to God, I don't care if I go out,

and I make something I really love.

[Uli] Yeah.

[Jeffrey] Then they just didn't get it, or whatever.

But, like, putting out the ugliest dress ever?

Like, uh, I'm gonna go out like this?

I made the ugliest garment I've ever made in my life

for, probably, one of the most difficult people

I've ever had to work with.

I knew that I wasn't gonna be making anything

for Angela's mom, and that was making me really happy.

I climbed quite a mountain, and made quite

an accomplishment to send something

like that down the runway and still be here.

[laughter]

[Angela] He was making me so angry.

I was just gonna completely lose it.

Enough is enough, already, dude. Look, you know what?

If you want to talk to me, just look at me.

I'm so [bleep] frightened when I look at you.

I can't--I didn't hear what you said.

[Jeffrey] I don't want to talk to you.

[Angela] Well, it's a sensitive subject,

because you kept talking about my mom,

and it was just-- that was hard for me.

That's just the nature of the challenge.

Your mom was my model, and I had a hard time with it.

It's just the nature of the challenge.

I'm sorry if you take it personally.

I'm just talking about the challenge.

[Angela] Well, it's hard not to take it personally

when it's your mom.

Jeffrey can't seem to let go of the issues

that ensued with Angela's mother.

But Jeffrey is often being an [bleep].

So I'm not surprised to hear it.

[Jeffrey] What are you so pissed off about?

That I had a hard time with the challenge?

Or are you mad that you and your mom

couldn't manage to get rid of me?

'Cause of the [bleep] you talked onstage?

Jeffrey, I mean, if you don't-- couldn't tell that the dress--

Don't give me those weird, sad eyes.

[Angela] Jeffrey thought I was trying

to get him eliminated,

which is really ridiculous,

because I had nothing to do with that dress.

[Jeffrey] Angela's calculating, and she knows what she's doing.

So, as far as I'm concerned, she's fair game.

[Angela] I basically wanted to tear his hair out,

I was just so angry.

But you can't afford to do that on Project Runway,

because you need to get your work done,

and you need to have it be the best that it can be.

[Laura] I was just, you know, thankful,

that I'm not involved.

It's a one-day challenge, and we don't really have time

to d*ck around with everyone's personal problems.

[Jeffrey] The madder she gets, the better I feel.

[laughing]

He can just go on being his mean, nasty self,

and I don't really give a crap.

[Jeffrey] She's feeling the pressure. [laughs]

[Heidi] Coming up on Project Runway.

I was so close to having something great,

but I just needed a little bit more time.

You got a contender on your hands.

[instrumental music playing]

[Kayne] For this challenge, we're going to be

designing an outfit for a hip international jet-setter.

So, we've got to make a complete outfit

with $75 from 2:00 in the afternoon till midnight.

So that's, like, ten hours to make an outfit.

[Vincent] It's not easy to make two pieces in a day.

So we have to race, race, race, race, race.

You'll just have to trust your gut.

So, it's a tough situation.

Jeff, look.

[Jeffrey] They look good, they've always looked good.

I'm so happy, I never made a man's thing in my life.

Hi, everybody.

-Hi, Tim. -Hi, Tim.

Jeffrey, how are you?

-Yes, I'm good. -Good.

So, I've finished my pants.

I'm doing a quick mock-up

of my rock and roll blazer.

Okay.

I'm making the jacket out of this.

-[Tim] Okay. -Very, very rock and roll.

It's rock and roll, all right.

Rock and roll, jet-setting, like, you know,

scarf, sash, cigarette.

Well, it's not boring.

It's gonna be pretty.

-And it's you. -Yeah.

All right, all right.

-Thanks. -Thank you.

[Tim] How are you doing?

I'm trying not to be boring or too classic.

I think this is really different

than anything I've sent out there.

Good.

[Laura] So far I feel good about my garment.

But I felt good about my last garment,

and got nailed on the runway.

[Laura] So I'm really trying to learn from those lessons.

Keep things young and fresh.

And, um, I should be okay.

All right, Laura.

-Yeah -Carry on.

So, Kayne.

The shirt's done?

No, it's not done.

All I'm doing, is taking

this really beautiful kind of butterfly print.

It's gonna trail over the shoulder just a hint.

[Tim] This is looking very Elvis to me.

Oh, no, I know. I know.

-I know. -All right.

Okay, I'm get-- I'm gettin' busy, thanks.

-[Tim] Work. Work. -'Kay, bye.

-Tell me what you're doing. -I love to go to...

to places that are real light and slightly breezy

and real airy--Hamptons.

My take on it is I'm making it

a little bit more urban, more me.

I'm just doing a simple motorcycle-style jacket.

And what are you wearing under the jacket?

Um, just a regular, like, T-shirt.

[sighing] That worries me.

If need be, that could always be

a short little sleeved little shirt.

-Yeah. -Actually, at this point,

that's what I'm gonna do. It's all about snap decisions.

So I can definitely make it into a shirt.

It's pretty much the same amount of work.

-Do it. -Thank you. So I'm good.

All right, good, good.

-Good, good. -I'm feeling much better too.

Okay, let me get back to work, let me go, let me go.

You go back to work.

[Michael Knight] I had to change it altogether.

I'm really gonna have to pump out a shirt real quick.

But, I'm running out of time,

and I'm starting to get nervous.

So tell me what you're doing.

Where are you right now? You've cut the pants.

I just have to put the pants together,

put the waistband on, put the zipper in, um...

That's a lot of work in itself.

It's a lot of work.

This looks so...

-Junior. -Oh, it does?

Don't you think?

Doesn't this kind of look Holly Hobby?

But yeah, but that's-- that's kind of good.

All right, as long as you can stand by it.

-No, I like Holly Hobby. -As long as you can stand by it.

I'm very concerned about time.

This sh--yeah, well, yeah.

[Angela] I'm very concerned.

[Tim] Well, let's make it work.

-All right? -Okay, Tim.

-Carry on. -Thanks.

It's going to be a crazy morning tomorrow,

so count on finishing tonight, okay?

Carry on, I'm carrying myself on.

[chuckling]

[upbeat music playing]

-[bleep]. -I think this is wrong.

I think it's wrong, I think it's wrong, I think it's wrong.

I think what Vincent's making is gonna look like

it belongs on Tool Time.

It's gonna be very drab and conservative.

And what Kayne is making is gonna look very Liberace.

I think I have a for-sure winner this time.

[Laura] Angela is clearly a talented designer.

But, anywhere she could stick a rosette, she did.

She had, like, two big ones, just like--

[tongue clicking] Like, right on her butt.

[wind chimes]

[Uli] Why is this taking so long?

-I know, yours is simple, Uli. -[laughs]

You couldn't even put colors together like that.

[Jeffrey] [laughs] what?

It would be a clown costume

-[Jeffrey] Are you kidding me? -[Vincent] Tell him!

[bleep], if I pull--I can't believe I'm pulling this off.

I should press that.

All right, well, I [bleep] finished.

So, you got a contender on your hands.

[Michael Knight] Be real cool with it,

I'm gonna be real suave.

Fix my shirt, hand in the pocket.

Then I'm gonna give it to 'em straight on.

[Kayne] Michael showed me some cool little ways

to work it a little bit on the runway,

so I felt a little bit more like I knew what I was doing,

and I wasn't gonna do something stupid.

I never turn around just because that's not cool to me.

So I present a little bit, and I step back a couple times.

[Kayne] Oh, that's good.

[Michael Knight] I've done a little modeling.

And you've got to have a certain cool about yourself,

a certain sex appeal.

You know, real cool.

And then just gonna walk.

You walk like you mean it. But still--

It's easier when you're from the ghetto.

I'm from White Tr*sh.

[upbeat music playing]

[indistinct] isn't it?

[Angela] Well, today is the runway show,

and I'm getting ready to go

and go to the workroom and finish up my outfit.

I just have to finish up my top.

Let me pull this out.

Everything's at stake on the day of the runway show.

We're very few of us left.

Uh, the competition's getting tougher and tougher.

I'm not ready to go home.

[Kayne] Off to Parsons we go.

[Tim] Good morning, everybody.

You have an hour for the TRESemmé hair salon

and the L'Oréal Paris makeup room, all right?

So, I will see you in an hour, and I'll take you downstairs.

[upbeat music playing]

I'm doing really good, I'm done.

It's gonna be fun to ro--walk down--

to rock down the runway. [laughs]

Do you see how green I am? [laughing]

[rock music playing]

[designer] We're gonna do a touch up.

[Angela] I wanted to have my hair blown out.

I need help!

I need quick help.

[Michael Knight] Uh, I wasn't gonna waste any time

on the hair and makeup.

I need to get that shirt done.

And the shirt came out looking really, really cool.

It was a real modern take on the white button-down.

I was pleased with it.

And I really think I have a great chance at winning.

I feel so close to having something great,

but I just need a little bit more time to make it perfect.

I was a little afraid of Kayne's outfit.

It really was just an absolute bungle.

[laughing] In my opinion.

Personally, I love Kayne.

But he just has this tackiness

that just doesn't translate to high fashion.

[Tim] Okay, designers!

This is it.

Follow me, please.

Now, now, now.

[Heidi] Coming up on Project Runway...

You're a mess, just standing.

You have one hour,

and your hour starts now.

So you better get off that runway now.

Fast!

Bye, y'all!

[dramatic music playing]

[Heidi] Hello!

Welcome back to the runway.

As you can see, there are empty chairs behind me.

And that's because for this challenge,

we asked the designers to create a hip,

jet-set travel outfit for themselves.

And they will be modeling the looks,

and I wanted us to be surprised.

We gave them $75 and one day to put it together.

So, are we ready for this?

Let's start the show.

[upbeat music playing]

[Vincent] I was quite concerned about

making a menswear outfit,

because I never really made one before.

So, um, I gave it my best shot.

It was very simple, and it was based on cut.

It came out pretty good.

[upbeat music playing]

[Jeffrey] It actually felt amazing

walking up and down the runway.

The clothes I was wearing gave me confidence.

I just felt like I was emanating this, like,

"Here I am, I don't really care what you think."

I actually felt like a rock star.

[Angela] Walking down the runway

was incredibly uncomfortable.

I just thought, focus on what you feel confident about.

I felt confident in the pants. And I loved my bag.

And, so, I just went with that.

[Laura] I was thinking that I looked pregnant,

and not just chubby.

But I still felt very confident in the dress itself.

My construction techniques are flawless,

I'm just good at what I do.

[upbeat music playing]

[Michael Knight] I was more excited to get on the runway

than creating the garment.

Just 'cause I wanted to get a little shine on.

The cargo pants came out really really hot.

And I looked great.

[upbeat music playing]

[Kayne] I actually feel really, really good

about my design.

I think it's very cool, and I loved it

and I felt comfortable in it.

It's totally something that

I would definitely, definitely buy.

[upbeat music playing]

[Uli] I love to wear dresses

to go to dinner or to a bar, and to go out.

And you can travel with it really easily.

[upbeat music playing]

[suspense music playing]

We've scored your designs,

and we would like to ask all of you some questions.

But first, I want to introduce the judges.

We have top American designer Michael Kors.

-Hey, guys. -[designers] Hello.

Nina Garcia, fashion director of ELLE magazine.

-Hello. -[designers] Hi, Nina.

And our special guest, Francisco Costa,

creative director for Calvin Klein,

women's collection.

I would like to start with Uli.

And why don't you tell us where you think

you're going in your outfit.

I live in Miami, and I'm getting invited

to a lot of parties. As a stylist,

I always have to look pulled together.

I can wear it with flip-flops,

and I can put higher shoes on

and just go straight to the party.

What we often do, the party often starts

in the airplane already.

I wanna go to these parties.

[Uli] And, yeah, and that's me.

And it's--it's something which represents me.

Well, I think it's-- I can appreciate

your design talent there. Make it what--

whatever you just described. But I think it's--

I think it's a bit over-the-top.

That kind of style works in Miami,

works in the Caribbean.

It's great in L.A.,

works in the South of France,

um, and then you're gonna run into some problems.

It looks like Miami, Hawaii, L.A.

-Strictly tropical. -But that's the fun thing,

that's where I go usually.

[Michael Kors] But you know what? Maybe, Uli,

I guess what it boils down to, quite simply,

we have seen you in dresses like this before.

It's obviously your signature.

-Can you do something else? -Can we see something else too?

Angela, where are you going?

This is silk linen, and, um,

I wanted, like, a loose, flowy top.

And I wanted to add my fun Angela details,

so I did the back, um,

of the pants are signature Angela. So.

I think you picked the worst fabric possible

for the shorts.

[Francisco] Fabric's a really-- I don't think

it's a very happy choice there.

Linen--you can't just travel in linen.

It's not very practical.

You're a mess just standing.

So, I mean, traveling, you're gonna just be

like a homeless person.

Laura, where are you going?

Um, well, my idea of a jet-setter

is that they travel to go to parties.

I mean, most people just go to parties

in their local area, but jet-setters

get to go to parties all over the world.

So, I sort of made a dress that you could go to a party in.

Yeah, I had questioned the knot, in the back.

I don't think--it would be rather uncomfortable

to be sitting on a plane for a couple of hours.

Let me see the back, actually.

You could bring it to the front.

[Francisco] Yeah, you could actually release it.

You could bring it to the front if you wanted.

-[Francisco] Yes, exactly. -Yeah.

When you think jet-setter, you think of many places.

Is it going to translate and look chic

and look smart and look-- and I think this dress does.

Thank you.

Jeffrey, where are you going?

Oh, is it not apparent? I'm, uh, first to the jet,

which may have to sit on the runway for a while--

[laughs] till everyone calms down.

Uh, and then, uh, you know, to a concert,

to an interview, to a party.

I come from a music background, I've been a touring musician,

and I've made a lot of clothes for people

whose images make them.

And, they really are jet-setters.

Well, no, I think you look great.

I think-- I totally see it.

I see the personality behind it.

You know, the choice of fabrics, the colors.

You know, the pattern, it's creative.

It's really designed.

And, uh, I like it very much.

It does not look like $75.

You know, it looks very expensive.

You do look like a rock star.

This is current.

This is what's happening now.

It's jet set, it will work in London, Rome, Tokyo.

So, yeah, I loved it.

Vincent.

When I travel, I like to feel comfortable.

The pants are a cotton stretch,

the top is a heather jersey.

I like minimal, I like ease.

And, uh, this is me.

I think it is the safest that you could've possibly done

or anyone could've done.

I think it looks great, I really do.

-To me, it looks too basic. -I think it's a really

intellectual way of approaching.

You know, um, it's a lifestyle too.

It has to be impeccable.

And it doesn't look so impeccable from here.

To me it looks like

the pajamas that they hand you in a first-class seat.

It's comfortable, it's basic, it's all of that,

but I don't see any attitude or any twist.

I'm the twist.

This is a design competition.

Michael Knight.

Hello.

Where do you think you're going in your outfit?

I'm actually imagining myself

going to the Hamptons, um, chill with P. Diddy.

Pretty much, I'm a product of the hip-hop generation.

You know, hence the bling, a little bit.

I really love American style and fabrics,

hence the seersucker and the stretch cotton.

I love white. I think, um, you always look fresh and clean.

And, um, that's what I wanted to do.

I think he looks quite smart.

-And I love the shirt as well. -Thank you.

I see where you're going. I liked it.

I think the pants are really cool.

Um, first off, seersucker

happens to be the greatest thing in the world to travel with.

'Cause it doesn't wrinkle, 'cause it is wrinkled.

I love the little bit of bling.

I think the white's great, looks great on you.

But I think it's a great way to look.

Thank you.

Kayne. Why don't you tell us

where you think you're going in your outfit.

I took it as, if I was going somewhere international,

then I, um, was gonna be super excited,

and hopefully I was famous by that point, and my paparazzi

would be at the airport waiting for me to get out of my limo,

blah, blah, blah.

So I'd want to step out,

and then be like, "Oh, my God, he looks fabulous, like always!"

That's Kayne, and that's what you get.

Kayne or Elvis? [laughs]

Elvis is alive and well right here.

To me, it does seem a little suspended in time,

and the time is Elvis.

To me, the pants fit beautifully.

I think the outfit's made very well,

but it looks like a costume.

It's just too much.

If the paparazzi were chasing you,

you're gonna be the big lead picture

in What Was He Thinking?

[Heidi] Okay, we've heard what you had to say.

One of you will be named the winner,

and one of you will be out.

But not tonight.

Because we want to see how these outfits travel.

So we're gonna send you on a little trip.

There are plane tickets for you in your apartments.

And you have one hour to pack

and get to the airport.

[suspense music playing]

And your hour starts now, so you better get off

that runway now, fast!

[upbeat music playing]

I'll see you when you return, have fun!

[Angela] Bye, Heidi! Bye, everybody.

[Heidi] Coming up on Project Runway...

When we got out at the airport,

we still didn't know where we were going.

[designers cheering]

Nice!

[upbeat music playing]

-[Jeffrey] Go, go, go, go. -[Michael Knight] Bye!

[Heidi] Bye, y'all!

[Uli] Heidi tells us, you have one hour

to pack your stuff and go and travel

in the outfit you are wearing right now.

And I was pretty shocked.

-Is this for real, man? -[Jeffrey] Yeah, man, let's go.

It was like, big surprise. We didn't know

-where we were going. -It's on, dude.

We didn't know what to pack, what to bring,

for how many days...

It was wild.

[upbeat music playing]

-It doesn't say anything! -Of course not.

[Kayne] The tickets didn't have the destination on it,

so I don't know if we're going to Iceland or Australia.

Get this [bleep] packed quick.

[Jeffrey] I was running through

the different scenarios.

Yes, we're going somewhere,

but who knows what's going to happen once we get there?

[Kayne] I'm done.

[Vincent] It would be great if we went to Budapest or Istanbul.

[laughter]

[upbeat music playing]

I hope it's not a sixteen-hour flight.

If we do a 16-hour flight, we won't live

-to get off the plane. -Oh, yes, we would.

I thought it's probably one of the fashion Metropoles

in--in Europe, either London or Milan.

[upbeat music playing]

When we got out at the airport,

we still didn't know where we were going.

So we had to go to a kiosk.

I was excited, we were all excited.

I wanna see where we're going.

[suspense music playing]

-Paris. -Ah ha, we're going to Paris!

[cheering and laughing]

-Nice! -Oh, my God.

I was so freaking excited to see we were going to Paris.

I have never been anywhere

outside of the country, much less Paris.

-Awesome. -Oh, my God.

See that? [laughter]

Most of us are inspired by European designers.

You know, we're inspired by the birthplace of fashion.

It's what drives me.

It's what got me into fashion.



[screams] First-class! [laughing]

I've been to Paris many a time,

and actually don't really like flying in airplanes.

So, it was definitely the fact

that we were flying first-class

that excited me the most.

-Good evening, welcome aboard. -Hi, there.

-Thank you so much. -Thank you.

-Would you like some champagne? -Yes.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

[upbeat music playing]

-Hi, everybody. -Tim, yay!

You all didn't think I'd let you leave without me?

[Uli] Oh, we were wondering!

I don't know what I'm gonna do after this,

if I can't have Tim pop up in my life

every once in a while.

Here is to a fantastic, incredible trip.

And we're gonna have a great time.

-[Uli] Yes, we are. -All right?

-To Project Runway. -Cheers!

Cheers.

Ooh, Uli!

Let's see if they have Project Runway.

[Michael Knight] I already checked, they didn't.

-Well, we'll have to fix that. -[Michael Knight] Yes.

My dress was fine, it was actually

very comfortable to travel in.

I did put the knot in the front so that it would be

a little more comfortable sitting in my seat.

[flight attendant] Flight 118 with service to Paris

is now ready for departure.

I'm sleepin' hard, man.

[French accordion music playing]

-[Jeffrey] Here we are. -[Uli] Yeah.

[Angela] I can't believe that we're in Paris.

This is crazy, [bleep] bananas.

Dreams coming true, right now, in this moment.

[Kayne] Oh, it's beautiful, look the Arc de Triomphe.

-Le Tour Eiffel. -Where?

-[Angela] Yay! -Oh, my gosh.

[Kayne] It is so weird.

It's always amazing to arrive in Paris.

The city, in real life, is just always more beautiful

than any pictures you see.

[French accordion music playing]

[Kayne] Oh, wow, I love it.

I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it.

I got off that plane without a wrinkle.

It was really, really good.

At the same time, I was dying to find out

why were we here, why were we in Paris?

[Kayne] What is this? Parsons Paris, kids.

Oh, my God, Parsons Paris.

[Kayne] Shut the hell up.

[Michael Knight] When I saw Parsons Paris,

I was like damn!

Like, I had no idea that they had one here.

Everybody, welcome to Parsons Paris.

[cheering]

[Angela] Wow.

[Tim] So, designers, welcome to your new workroom.

-This is fabulous. -I like this.

Windows, light.

I love it here.

I feel like I'm in a garden right now.

[Uli] Why is there only six tables?

[Jeffrey] 'Cause there's not gonna be seven people

-working in here. -Right.

[Kayne] Oh, there you go.

Truth of the matter is...

I did start to think then, like, okay--

[inhaling] All right.

Get ready, 'cause somebody's going home.

[Kayne] I wanna make it to the final three.

And if I get sent home, I will not be a happy camper.

Designers, may I have your attention?

[suspenseful music playing]

I want to introduce a very special guest.

-Bonjour. -[designers] Bonjour!

-Hello, Tim. -[Tim] So thrilled to have you.

Please welcome Catherine Malandrino.

Our host judge for this trip.

-Wow. -Nice meeting you.

Thank you for being here.

Catherine Malandrino is completely chic.

She's somebody that I admire, because I really like

her line, her style, and everything that she does.

[Jeffrey] I was really starstruck.

She's beautiful, and--and creative.

Just inspirational.

Welcome to Paris.

[Tim] We're thrilled to have you here.

Designers, we just arrived,

but unfortunately, in a few moments,

one of you will be out.

[suspense music playing]

[upbeat music playing]

[Tim] Unfortunately,

today, one of you will be out.

It seemed so cruel that someone had to fly

all the way to Paris just to get eliminated,

turn around, and fly home.

I have your score totals from the runway show.

Catherine will be scoring now.

And her score added to these will determine

who will be the winner, and who will be out.

Heidi asked me to see how your outfit traveled.

I'm here to judge on that.

And, uh, your outfit now, is going to be

as important as it was on the runway.

Each of you will walk from the back table

to the front table and back again, okay?

[Angela] My garment traveled really poorly.

The linen got more crinkled and wrinkled,

but I like that better. I'm not a pressed kind of gal.

[Kayne] My garment actually traveled really, really well.

I chose two fabrics that had microfiber in them,

so they don't wrinkle.

[Vincent] My garment looked as though

I just got up that morning and put those clothes on.

It was nice, it was very comfortable.

[Jeffrey] My outfit was made to travel.

I really can't express just how comfortable I was

in the clothes that I made.

[Laura] The dress traveled very well.

My feet didn't fare so well in the four-inch heels.

But the dress did great.

It, uh, traveled impeccably, and it was very comfortable.

[Michael Knight] When we finally got to Paris,

my pants were fine, my shirt was fine.

[Uli] My garment traveled well.

I felt pretty good in my dress, so I was pretty happy.

Designers,

Catherine has added her scores

to the runway totals from New York.

And decisions have been made.

Laura...

you're in.

Thank you.

Vincent...

you're in.

And now, for the winner of this challenge...

Catherine?

It was a tough decision

between Michael

and Jeffrey.

Both of you look amazing.

One as a hip-hop star traveling,

one as a rock star traveling.

Jeffrey...

you are the winner.

[applause]

[Jeffrey] It felt really good,

it was really good validation.

You know, because in my opinion, I think I should've won

at least one other challenge before now.

And God is alive and well,

and definitely working in my life.

He isn't drunk today, like he was

the day that I was given Angela's mom. [laughing]

My mom is gonna freak out. [laughing]

Michael, that means you're in.

[clicking] Thank you.

Uli...

you're in.

Thank you.

Kayne, Angela,

one of you will be out.

Kayne, I'm sorry.

You look ridiculous.

You look like a fake pop star.

And you, Angela,

you are just coming from another world.

And you are not a jet-setter.

Angela...

you are out.

Kayne, you're in.

So, Angela, you need to clean up your work space.

-That's okay. -And leave the workroom.

[Jeffrey] Oh, I'm ecstatic that Angela's gone.

She's not even a clothing designer.

She's sort of a...

an arts and craftsy macaroni gluer.

I'm definitely sad to see Angela go,

because she really has a great spirit.

She has a great smile. And there's so much about her

that's really really good.

-Good-bye. -[Kayne] Bye, darlin'.

Bye.

Bye. Bye, Tim.

You take care.

-Okay? -Okay. Bye, Catherine.

Au revoir, Angela.

[Angela] I just got off the plane,

and now I'm gonna have to fly right back.

So, I'm just, really incredibly sad.

But I have learned so much from this experience.

You have to really know who you are

and not let other people's opinion of you rattle you.

I have no idea what the next phase is for me.

I think that it's just a big ball of possibility right now,

and I am very eager to just go with it.

[Heidi] Next on Project Runway...

You are in Paris, capital of fashion.

[Jeffrey] This challenge is difficult

for most of the designers.

People just didn't know

how we were going to achieve this.

I will throw a party.

-[cheers and applause] -It will be very exciting.

[Laura] I think poor Kayne is gonna have his head

handed to him on a ridiculous plate tomorrow.

-[designer] You think so? -Yeah,

I just don't want to see him get hurt.

Who cares if he gets hurt?

Here's our destination.

[cheers]

[Michael Knight] Somebody is throwing eggs.

Look at that stupid kid.

[Tim] Yeah, it's all over the dress.

It just feels old and done.

No, no, no.
