04x08 - En Garde!

[bunniefuu]

[Heidi klum] previously on project runway...

You will be making

A prom dress for them.

I was very scared.

[Kevin] I don't want to hem this.

What do you mean, you don't want to hem it, darling?

That would be unfinished.

I'm--i'm not gonna do it.

I was thinking of sleeve here.

You want another sleeve here?

I'm not a dressmaker.

Very cute.

I literally wanted to rip the dress off

And give up.

[Techno music]

♪ ♪

[Heidi] congratulations...

Victorya.

You are the winner of this challenge.

I just don't like the fact

That you're blaming maddie.

Thank you.

She looks like she's 35 years old.

I am distracted by the hemming.

Kevin, you're out.

The winner of project runway will receive

A spread in elle magazine,

An opportunity to sell their line

On bluefly.com,

An all-new 2008 saturn astra,

And $100,000 to start their own line

Furnished by tresemme professional hair care.

This is project runway.

Let's go.

Hell, yes, I'm the best.

[Heidi] you're either in, or you're out.

I'm in...they're out.

I wouldn't be caught dead in his clothes.

Fashion is my life.

Who will be the next big fashion designer?

That's me.

Bottom line, I'm the best.

I will own the runway.

For these 15 designers,

Project runway is the chance of a lifetime.

[Rami] so how do you feel about yesterday, christian?

About what? My client?

[Rami laughs]

That almost got me eliminated?

I had such a hard time with the prom challenge.

I shouldn't have really been in the bottom two, though.

I know my dress wasn't that great.

But...god.

Others were not cute.

Ask me about any challenge, I've probably been up there.

[Laughs]

After last night's elimination,

It's just a reminder that...

I got a lot of work to do.

I'll miss kevin,

But I'm glad it's not me.

I'm ready.

All right, b*tches. Let's go.

We gotta find out what our challenge is.

[Heidi] hello.

Hello.

Before I tell you about your next challenge,

Let's bring out your models.

Oh, my stars.

[Chris] whoo-hoo!

[Heidi] you've probably noticed

Something different about your models

Today.

And that's because

For your next challenge, you will be creating

An avant-garde look

Inspired by your model's hairstyle.

The challenge really just couldn't be better.

This is the challenge that I'm the most excited about.

[Heidi] this is an opportunity for you to push yourselves

As designers, and to create something artistic

And conceptual.

Models,

Because you weren't used in the last challenge,

There are ten of you

And eight designers.

So two of you will be out.

Victorya, you won the last challenge.

So you get the first pick.

I would love

To stick with jacqueline.

Kit.

Okay, good. Marie.

[Heidi] sweet p.

This is tough because of the hairdos.

I'm sorry, I want to pick lea.

[Whispering] sorry.

I feel so bad, but I picked lea

Over katie.

Her hair was nothing.

Lea's was fierce.

-Jillian. -I'm gonna stay with lauren.

Chris.

Marcia.

Rami.

I would love to work with sam.

Christian.

Lisa.

I picked lisa, who was my first model.

God, she is so high fashion.

Katie, aviva, amanda.

Two of you will be out.

Ricky,

You have a hard decision to make.

I'm sorry, ladies.

You're all beautiful.

But I want to play with amanda.

Katie, aviva.

I'm sorry, you're out.

Auf wiedersehen.

Auf wiedersehen.

Tim is waiting for you in the workroom

To fill you in on some of the details.

Good luck, and I'll see you on the runway.

Bye.

[Designers] bye.

Designers, as heidi said,

For this challenge you'll be

Creating an avant-garde look

Inspired by your model's hairstyle.

This look does not have to be practical.

It doesn't even have to be

Very wearable.

An avant-garde look

Is by definition ambitious.

Because of that, you will be working

In teams of two.

Of course.

[Tim] I will draw your names from this bag

To determine the teams.

So team one

Is kit...

And ricky.

Team two...

Sweet p.

With rami.

Oh, that's fantastic.

Team three...

Chris.

With...christian.

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah!

I was like, "all he does is costume

And crazy [bleep]."

He's gonna come up with something fabulous.

[Tim] who's left? Victorya and jillian.

All right?

You'll have 30 minutes to determine

Which model's hairstyle

Will inspire the look for this challenge.

Your budget is $300.

And you will have two days.

Each team

Must choose a team leader.

I'm gonna send in your models.

Use your time well.

Thank you.

It's gonna have to be one girl.

I know, we gotta look at their hair.

Since you worked at alexander mcqueen,

Do you wanna be the team leader?

I'm so scared.

I'm gonna get eliminated.

Honey, it happened to me.

I really don't wanna be leader

Because I don't wanna be eliminated.

But then, I feel really strongly

About this challenge.

Let's just decide. Who should we use?

I think hers is more glamorous.

[Lisa] use her then. Go ahead.

[Christian] we chose marcia.

She's very tall and gorgeous.

What if we did the entire dress

In circles of organza?

-Thousands. -Thousands.

We're gonna do this in the most diplomatic way.

So I'm sorry--your hair is more easy to work with.

Sorry, girl. Have a seat.

Marie's hair looks like a bird's nest.

So we decided to use my model, marie.

Our whole concept is based off this idea

Of nesting.

In my head, these are all totally different fabrics

-That look good together. -That could be cool too.

I like that idea.

It just worked out naturally

That I would be the team leader,

Because it's basically my concept.

Fantastic.

Rami and I decided we will pick sam

As our model.

He is the leader.

Because my mind doesn't really naturally go

To the avant-garde.

Wow.

The chiffon is restricted

In one area of the bodice and then just pretty much

Freely falls out into a gown of some sort.

The vision for this avant-garde piece

Is hard and soft.

I'm using that concept

To create curvy lines

And then freely falling out, just like her hair.

So what were you thinking?

So I thought about, like,

Kind of an apocalyptic,

Dramatic trench coat.

Actually, when I saw jacqueline, I know that she definitely has

A very heavy, like, '80s punk reference.

There was not gonna be a chance in hell

That either of us were gonna say,

"Okay, you be the leader."

It was not gonna happen.

I think we should just flip a coin.

Unless we flip this,

And if it lands face up, it's mine--

[Victorya] okay, that's good. Is it closed?

Face down, it's yours.

-It's yours. -Okay.

Are you cool with that?

I am-- I'm a little uncomfortable

About some of the things.

I think we need to just really solidify a story here.

Right, okay.

Designers, time's up.

We're going shopping.

[Ricky] we have $300 for this challenge.

-Ooh, look at this one. -That--that, that, that.

We are getting different fabrics that work with the colors

That we talked about.

Oh, my god, this is beautiful.

-Rami? -Sweet p.

Rami?

Is there enough?

Yeah, there's two-- these two rolls.

That's not 40 yards.

[Bleep]. We need so much fabric.

We need probably 50 yards of organza.

Oh, this is better.

-This is way better. -This is gonna be perfect.

Thank you, mood.

[Tim] thank you, mood!

[Victorya] thank you, mood.

Oh, wow, we have a lot.

I don't want it to look like little house on the prairie.

Our avant-garde look started with the idea

Of the hair being a bird's nest.

So we did a theme of a girl who'd be in a garden

And many aprons to represent layering.

This is some serious drama.

Like, it's the girl in me, and it's the b*tch in you.

[Both giggle]

It's the bottom.

Ferosh.

If I was a diva, my name would be ferosh.

Marcia has this huge, kind of romantic braided bun.

And so the gown is literally hundreds of layers

Of tiered, circular ruffles.

And we'll have this giant neckpiece,

And oh, my god, it's amazing.

I'm trying to build us

A cell phone tower so we can call out.

[Sweet p] how about if it takes us to elisa's planet?

Didn't you know,

Elisa left me these instructions.

Unless you feel otherwise, I'd like to style the collar up

And just kind of tip it over here.

Yeah, awesome.

[Jillian] the model's hair

Gives the effect of a mohawk.

So it allowed us to come up with this theme

Of, like, rebellion.

And I'm kind of replicating the hairstyle

Down the back of the trench coat

That I'm making.

Victorya's working on the shirt and the pants.

Two days is never enough time for anything for me.

And victorya and I are both

People who struggle with time management.

So I'm pretty worried about it.

So why don't you put it on the dress form

And try to put a french seam in the center front, okay?

I chose to take over the corset

And sort of the gown part of the outfit

Because it's very intricate and detailed.

So I asked sweet p if she's able

To do a pair of trousers, and she reassured me

That she can do it.

[Kit] do you wanna make the apron and the thing?

Oh, yeah. You want me to do that instead?

-Yeah. -Let me just bone her.

Bone her, and then make the apron.

[Laughs]

Pin it extremely straight all the way down.

Do you feel comfortable with that?

-Mm-hmm. -Are you sure?

I think what is slowing me down

Is actually having to constantly answer

And attend to, uh, sweet p.

Because she's struggling with, um,

A pair of pants.

I just feel like the pants should be almost finished.

That's my only concern.

They are-- they are almost finished.

Because there's so much work in here.

Look, dude!

We wanted to accomplish

Getting the pant and the corset sewn.

And we've finished those.

And we've also draped most of the gown.

So I'm not really comprehending

Why he's so stressed out

When we are actually ahead of the game.

These are almost done, rami.

-Okay, cool. -I'm just telling you.

All right. I'm just thinking ahead.

Any dysfunction that happens in the team,

I feel like I'm going to be blamed for it.

My a*s is on the line, basically, here.

[Heidi] coming up on project runway...

I have a special announcement to make.

[Sweet p] oh, my god.

My reaction is horror. Nausea.

[Sweet p] all right, man.

Do I have enough cigarettes for the day?

I'm kind of worried to go into parsons today,

Because rami just seemed upset last night.

So I am hoping

Things are a little different this morning.

[Ricky] let's get to work.

-Again? -Go.

Sweet p's a little dyslexic.

I never know what door to open.

You're gonna go do the ruffles.

-The crinoline. -Okay, and I'm gonna just--

-And you're working on her aprons. -Yeah.

We're there, girl.

Work.

The challenge is to do something avant-garde

Inspired by the model's hair.

And it can be anything.

So I'm excited.

[Rami] what do you think should be done?

Something out the back.

Maybe I do think bustle.

-Some drama. -What is the goal?

'Cause it could look like [bleep]

-And be over the top. -Of course.

I mentioned bustling a few times.

And if we build the back of the dress out,

I thought it would look really cool.

But he's not really listening.

Let me take over this.

-Okay? -Mm-hmm.

Designers,

May I ask you to gather round, please?

I have a special announcement to make.

[Chris] uh-oh.

I get scared of special announcements.

There will be

Another look walking down the runway tomorrow.

[Christian] what's that mean?

Another look.

I wanted to throw up. Oh, my god, I was so pissed.

Each of your teams must create a ready-to-wear garment

That embodies the essence of your avant-garde look.

Oh...

Let me assert that every major fashion designer

Must do this.

Provoke and inspire with high-end conceptual work

And translate it to saleable ready-to-wear.

And this has to be done by tomorrow?

By tomorrow.

[Sweet p] oh, my god.

[Tim] you will have an additional budget

Of $50 for this look.

And we're going to give you until 1:00 a.m.

I'm going to give you 15 minutes

To talk among yourselves.

And then we'll be going to mood,

Where you'll have 15 minutes to shop.

And only one team member must go.

I'm gonna give you 15 minutes to caucus.

And I'll be back.

Thank you.

[Kit] so I already had an idea.

Blouse, dress, skirt?

Dress, dress, dress, dress.

[Ricky] simple dress. Do we wanna be--

And then we do a band.

Right away, kit looks at me.

She's like, we should do something like a little dress.

And I said, "you know what, I'll figure it out.

I'll drape it." It's cake for me.

I-i do it day in and day out.

I wanna pick out the fabric.

And we'll just do this simple little chic

Little outfit.

I'm not scared at all.

Heh!

[Laughs]

Just focus on one.

Whoever gets finished starts it.

-A shirtdress, maybe? -When--yeah.

I'm already off schedule.

So my reaction is

Horror, nausea.

-I think navy. -Why is it navy?

Because it kind of ties in with the pant, and--

But the pant is the background--

I feel like it makes it day.

I feel like it makes it day, though.

Navy's not so much day, I think.

Right away, I have an idea.

And he's immediately like, "I don't like that color."

And I'm like, "okay."

Sketch for me what you have in mind.

I go from the form the most.

I can't be in the dark with what you're doing.

You don't trust that I'm gonna--

Because you don't seem too sure about it!

You're not telling me what you're doing.

You scribbled out your sketch,

So I'm confused.

Sweet p was not clear to what she wanted to design.

But since we are a team, I really need to know

What it's going to be.

-I'm not asking for a lot. -Cut me a swatch.

Okay.

All right, designers, your 15 minutes

Is up.

I'm leading the group to mood.

Who's coming with me?

Okay.

[Victorya] thank you, jillian.

[Jillian] pray for us.

[Man] get out of the way!

La la la la la.

Love you, bye.

Oh, wait, I need that print.

I chose to go to mood just because I'm fast,

And I kind of knew exactly what I needed.

Like, this is my main choices here.

Like a gray...

Ooh, that's gorgeous.

I just started running around.

And I found some beautiful silver shantung.

And I think I'll get something really cute out of this.

Um...yeah.

Yeah, let's cut that.

Just give me a yard and a half.

I think I can make do.

I pulled everything together that I needed.

Let's get this fabric and get out of here

So we can make something with it.

[Tim] time's up.

Let's head back to the workroom now, okay?

[Kit] okay.

-How'd it go, jillian? -Went good.

Let me show you what I bought.

-I got this. -Cool.

So I will start draping.

-But I'll just drape. Show you. -Just show me.

-Just show me. That's fine. -Before i--

On to the next one.

From fantasy to reality.

Designers,

I'm bringing in the models

So you can have a fitting.

They'll be here for about 30 minutes.

All right? Use your time well.

Make it work.

Hi. Come on in.

Have fun.

[Jillian] hi, ladies.

-How are you? -Good, how are you?

I love this here, I think.

But I'm not sure if I love it here.

[Rami] I think it needs some more interesting, no?

[Sweet p] I think rami did end up putting way too much stuff

On the dress.

And he disagreed with me.

But I definitely don't think

Adding so much stuff to it

Is what would be considered avant-garde.

Step in.

[Kit] this is gonna be so heavy.

This looks [bleep]ing crazy.

I'm so excited.

Once marie put our avant-garde look on,

It really transformed the whole piece.

You have to step back and say,

"Wow, this is really cool."

Dude, it looks so good.

As usual, I only have a pant to put on you.

Okay.

So at least it's something.

-So jillian has nothing that she needs-- -yeah, not yet.

Okay, great. I'm glad you're done.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Everybody's done except for me and victorya.

Great.

We are still in development phase,

And we weren't completely prepared

To have a full fitting.

My concern is that victorya is immune for this challenge,

And ultimately, if we're on the bottom,

It's immediately me who has to go.

Oh, my god.

[Chris] oh, yeah? I told you she's magical.

Wait.

Just dislocate my shoulders, I'm fine.

Does this hurt?

[Christian] make it, like...

-A little looser, don't k*ll her. -Okay.

What I hope happens tomorrow at the runway show

Is that our model, marcia, comes out

And people's jaws drop to the floor.

And they never forget it as long as they live.

Work. Oh, girl.

[Christian] you gotta bring it back.

Girls, you gotta bring it back from the side and turn.

Uh.

[Everyone laughs]

That's--that's good. That's really cute.

-Thank you. -Yeah.

Rami's letting me do the ready-to-wear look.

And it's super cute.

And it's-- it's totally me.

I need you to finish the dress and the pants--

Rami. Hold up.

-I'm gonna finish these. -Okay.

I need to know when we're gonna finish.

That's all I'm entitled.

So I walk into the workroom

And sweet p has been on the cutting table

For quite some time.

I'm leading the team.

I need to make sure that everything's going on schedule.

My a*s is on the line, okay?

-[Sweet p] so is mine. -I'm leading the team--

No, mine is more than yours. Please understand that.

-That's all I need you to do, please. -Don't get mad.

I'm just saying, I'm totally gonna finish--

This is so simple, what I'm doing right now.

Okay, let's just have a time plan.

That's all I'm asking for.

[Exhaling] oh, god.

Sweet p gets defensive.

So I'm feeling like I need to be extremely careful.

And it's draining a lot of my energy.

He makes it hard for me to work.

We have to [bleep] walk.

I'm almost done.

Sorry.

[Lea] no, it's okay.

I know this is hard.

I just was, like, so mad.

It's just rough, you know?

I know.

I told him, "dude, just calm down."

I wish rami would just, like,

Please get off my back.

Thank you.

[Sighs]

[Heidi] coming up on project runway...

I'm worried.

The problem here is that we think differently.

I'm just hoping we don't end up in some kind of fistfight.

[Chattering]

Designers and models.

May I ask you to gather round, please?

Designers and models.

I have a special guest I want to introduce.

[Applause]

Yay!

[Sweet p] that's not so scary.

Please welcome

Nathaniel hawkins.

Nathaniel is lead stylist

For the tresemme hair care creative team.

Welcome to parsons the new school for design.

Thank you for having me.

Nathaniel's here to consult with you on the hairstyle

For your ready-to-wear look.

What we're going to do today

Is to translate the avant-garde hairstyle

Into a look for the everyday woman.

We want to create something that is beautiful,

Effortless, yet practical.

And nathaniel has a special announcement to make.

The winning team's looks

And models will be featured

In a tresemme ad in elle magazine.

[Sweet p] wow!

-Thanks, nathaniel! -Thank you.

To be in elle magazine for tresemme,

That's exciting.

And it makes us want to work harder.

-Hello. -Hello.

On her, I would do a little bit of fullness.

And create a smaller, more elegant shape.

[Christian] sounds perfect.

We still can create a smoother crown,

Building into very loose--

-Yeah, perfect. -I love it.

So jacqueline has that crazy fauxhawk.

Yes, I thought that we could do

Hair pressed perfectly smooth.

With the long, luxurious hair.

I love that.

Strong side part.

And we'll get a nice, soft shape.

Wouldn't that be rad?

It will be so pretty on her.

Thanks, nathaniel.

Bye, sweet p. Have a good night.

Hi, everybody.

How's team fierce?

[Laughs] well, what do you think?

[Christian] pretty fierce.

Well, I have to tell you guys,

This is staggering.

But this translation to ready-to-wear worries me.

This looks

Kind of cheap.

Oh, my god.

I think it looks so expensive.

I'm dubious.

Okay.

I think it'll be very chic.

And I'll totally fight that.

If I have to.

Kit, ricky.

Yes, we are very excited.

All right.

All these ribbons are gonna just become

A giant nest.

[Tim] is it costume?

And the answer is, "yeah."

[Kit] but it's conceptual.

Is there anything else you can do

To dramatize this?

Does it need more of this

To punch it up?

No, I don't know about that.

Just have it be exuberant.

-Thank you, tim. -Okay.

Just do it.

Santa maria. Let's go.

-So rami. -Yes.

Sweet p. How are you doing?

Good.

This is the corset gown.

It's worn as a blouse.

Is this going to surprise them?

Or is this going to be what they expect?

You don't think it's over the top enough,

Is what you're saying.

We're asking you to go

-Many steps higher. -Mm-hmm.

And have you gone high enough?

They have not seen me do corsets, tim.

-They have not seen that. -The only thing I'm gonna say--

I'm worried.

-Okay. -[Bleep].

The problem here is that

We think differently, and we're working as a team.

And it's--

It's a conflict.

I think that's more in our work process.

Well, how has the experience been so far?

I want you to talk a little bit.

[Tim] how is that, the way you work together?

We just both work really differently.

-We do, we do. -So it's been--

It's been difficult.

Tim is saying, "this dress looks too much like you, rami."

And it's like... What does that have to do

With how we work as a team?

Other than he won't let me in.

All right. Carry on.

Okay. Thanks.

Victorya, jillian. How are you doing?

We're doing okay.

[Victorya] stressed for time.

We're just moving as fast as we can possibly move.

I want to assert that this coat is fabulous.

If you can achieve this,

This is incredible.

Yeah.

The second outfit, we haven't even started it.

It's a matter of finishing this

And it's a matter of...

That second look.

Okay.

Carry on.

Thank you.

[Victorya] thanks, tim.

[Jillian] I'll be in the sewing room.

Okay--i think I will join you, jillian.

Oh, great.

[Sweet p] so right now we're not talking.

And it's a little tense.

I'm totally expecting to be in the bottom tomorrow.

That's one reason I really wanted

To pull my dress together,

So that I can stand strong with something really great

On the runway myself.

What? No...

No!

[British accent] all right, you [bleep]. Come on.

[Jillian laughs]

Let's sew.

[Victorya] by the end of the evening,

I still had some finishings to do

On my two garments.

Jillian as well had not completely finished her coat.

I have no idea if we're gonna be able

To even start the second look.

Yeah, let's go.

[Christian] so [bleep]ing tired.

Oh, I can't even walk.

Everybody ready?

I'm kind of wondering

How rami's going to be today.

I'm just hoping we don't end up

In some kind of fistfight.

Okay, let's go.

I'm ready. I've been waiting.

Come on.

I just want to make sure that it looks like

An expensive enough dress.

Yeah, I don't think--

[Jillian] the first thing that I do

Is start on that second dress.

In order to finish,

I'm going to move like the speed of light today.

Good morning, designers.

Hi, tim.

I'm going to be sending in your ready-to-wear models

Momentarily.

Your avant-garde models are already in hair.

You'll have a two-hour period of time

To send your models to the l'oreal paris makeup room

And the tresemme hair salon.

All right.

Hi, darling. Let me try this on you.

See, with the no sleeves, it's done.

-It's very chic. -It's perfect.

I think it's cute. It's a dress.

It's super casual.

[Ricky] the ready-to-wear dress looks really simple.

I would have liked to have done it in a different fabric.

But because we were telling kit's story,

That's the story.

It's perfect.

It's fine. It's what it is.

So this is gonna be your front section.

Just put your hands up.

This is couture hilarity.

Make sure the piece is always tucked in.

In all honesty, I know we're gonna win.

Just has to happen.

I smell tresemme ad.

Right here--is it supposed to be like that?

Just--that's the least of my problems right now.

In the end, I put the second dress on my model.

But it is like a last-minute afterthought.

[Ricky] it's beautiful.

Can you cut me a piece of thread, amanda?

I can do it. Here.

I really like our final garment,

Because I think it stands apart from the other designers.

I am a little bit nervous, however,

Because it's just really different

From where everyone else went.

Are you sure about these boots?

Yeah.

Designers and models, this is it.

We're going down to the runway.

Okay, so follow me.

Let's go.

Love you, mean it.

I'm just worried that you--

Jillian, victorya.

We've gotta go.

[Jillian] we definitely lived up

To team last-minute.

I was proud

That we did a great job on the avant-garde look.

I think it would be amazing if we won.

I just--at this point, I'm not convinced

That that will happen.

[Tim] thank you.

[Heidi] coming up on project runway...

I wonder if there's something else that you can do.

It just does not look well-made.

Welcome to the runway.

As you know, in fashion, one day you're in

And the next day you're out.

For this challenge, we had you work

In teams of two to create two looks.

An avant-garde look inspired by your model's hairstyle,

And a second

Ready-to-wear look

That captured the essence of the avant-garde outfit.

The winning outfits will be featured

In a tresemme ad in elle magazine.

Let's meet the judges.

First we have

Top american designer michael kors.

Hey, guys.

Next we have nina garcia,

Fashion director of elle magazine.

Hi, everyone.

And acclaimed italian designer

Alberta ferretti.

Hello.

[Designers] hi.

We will score your designs

As they come down the runway.

One of you will be named the winner.

And tonight, only one of you

Will be out.

Let's start the show.

[Rami] I'm very happy

As I'm watching sam walk down the runway.

I feel like I created something

That is original and beautiful.

[Sweet p] I definitely really loved my dress.

I loved rami's too, you know?

I just think maybe it wasn't big or grand enough.

[Chris] I always watch the judges' faces.

And nina garcia could not keep the look off of her face.

I think that she was impressed by it.

[Christian] my avant-garde look was amazing.

The couture pose is all about the cinched waist

And hunched shoulders.

It was such a shock factor

From the beginning to the end.

And the ready-to-wear look was so chic

And looked beautiful.

So I was 10,000% happy.

[Kit] I'm definitely happy with the avant-garde look.

But I see the very serious fashion

Of all the other designers, and ricky and I

Didn't go that direction,

So that makes me very nervous.

[Ricky] to have a second look,

You really get the extremes.

So you get the really high and the really low

Of the whole story.

We were excited, 'cause she looked amazing.

[Victorya] we loved the silhouette.

We were both happy.

Jacqueline really ex*cuted that look to perfection,

And I don't think that any other model

Could've done it like she did.

[Jillian] I was proud that we did finish the ready-to-wear look.

But I wasn't satisfied with it at all.

[Heidi] we've scored your designs.

Will the following teams please step forward?

Rami and sweet p.

Kit and ricky.

Your teams have the lowest scores.

But first, we're gonna talk

To the teams with the highest scores.

You can leave the runway.

Okay, let's bring out your models.

Christian.

What was your thought process

With your look?

When I first saw marcia's hair,

We took it as, like,

A very romantic, um, old world feeling.

Whose, um, design was it?

He came up with the color idea.

And we decided on the model, we just kinda went,

"I can do this, you can do that."

And this is 45 yards of fabric, just to let you know.

[Giggling]

Can we see the...back?

Is amazing, because is--

Is a very complicated dress.

It's a couture dress.

But the job is amazing. Congratulations.

Thank you.

It's heaven.

It looks beautifully crafted.

It's certainly important

And exciting-looking.

I think it's very soigne.

And I think that the ready-to-wear,

The blouse is great-looking.

But I think the skirt's a little bit

Of a throwaway, let's be honest.

Yeah, it's not perfect, I know.

But obviously, as a team, you guys worked well together.

It could be a cover try, this--this look.

It's really, really beautiful.

[Heidi] okay, victorya.

Tell us about your avant-garde look.

The immediate reference we had

Was something very punk

With an equestrian leitmotif.

The silhouette is very beautiful.

Cutting very well, yes.

Can we see the blouse and the pants?

[Alberta] I like the shirt.

I do too. Why'd you hide them?

Yeah, why?

Because the coat was so beautiful.

Can I see the back of the jodhpurs?

[Nina] it's adorable, the blouse.

[Michael] the back of the blouse is great.

And I don't mind

The tartan little black dress.

I mean, I think it's cute.

We have three looks.

-No, you do! -Yes, you do.

You do. You have three looks.

So we should win. [Laughter]

Okay, we've heard what you have to say.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

All right, let's bring out the teams

With the lowest scores.

Rami, please tell us

About your avant-garde look.

When I first looked at sam,

Instantly I thought of a corset.

And I imagined something that is flowy.

And we paired it with a pair of pants

To kind of create sort of two odds

And have them meet together.

Who did what exactly?

I made the gown with the corset.

Sweet p made the pants and the dress.

The dress is beautiful.

[Michael] it's a cute dress.

The commercial dress, in this instance, to me,

Is more forward-looking than the avant-garde piece.

Rami, I know that

You do draping impeccably.

I wonder if there's something else

That you can do.

The dress, the volume

Is not so dramatic.

It's too normal.

Maybe the shape of the trouser

Could've been more masculine.

Can we see what they look like now?

She looks like

Her a*s is in her front.

[Laughter]

Like, the gown could've had something

That when she walked out, it just went, "whoo."

I wanted to add something back here,

Like an expl*si*n

Out of her rear.

You know, I know it sounds kooky.

But, you know,

I think that he was really taking ownership

Of his design, and didn't really want me

Putting too much into it.

We were two odds working together,

And that's what sort of took away

From the, um, loudness.

-We work different ways. -Yes.

You do know

That the best design teams

Are not people who are exactly the same.

-Sure. -Or else you're just sitting and telling,

"You're fabulous." You know, "you're fabulous."

I mean, you want someone else's opinion.

And you get nothing done.

[Michael] I mean, you get nothing.

And you just-- you were arm wrestling

The whole time.

Kit.

Hello.

How did you divide up the work

Between the two of you?

I made the skirt.

And ricky made the corset

And the ready-to-wear dress.

It's so strange, that dress,

Because it's not avant-garde.

It's cheap, it's real cheap.

It's a little scarlett o'hara.

But in a cheap way.

I have to say what alberta said

About, you know, scarlett o'hara

Ripped the drapes down.

But she made a couture dress out of her drapes.

This, she ripped the sheets off the bed

And ran out the door.

I think also, it just does not look

Well-made.

You know, if you look at the satin,

It is all, like, wrinkly.

It--i feel like it needs to be steamed or something.

If I were pulling for a couture, avant-garde

Photo sh**t, this would not be it.

And I think the ready-to-wear outfit

Is equally disappointing.

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

We're gonna have a little chat.

And then I'm gonna call you back.

You can leave the runway.

So who did we like?

Christian and chris had, I think,

A remarkable avant-garde piece.

[Alberta] in two days, is amazing job.

That is important.

As a team, they worked together brilliantly.

Normally, you know, two designers,

You stick two things together,

It looks like two things stuck together.

But in this case, it didn't.

She looked like a photo sh**t right there.

With victorya and jillian,

I loved the dress.

I loved the pants and the shirt.

And I loved the coat.

It just looked terrific.

Very, very good job in all directions.

You could see a lot of women

Really wanting to wear those clothes.

What did we think about rami and sweet p's team?

[Nina] he knows he can drape very well.

And that's what he consistently gives us.

But show us something else for a change.

His excuse was--

Sweet p.

He was throwing her under the bus.

She ex*cuted the daytime dress very nicely.

[Heidi] yeah.

It was a great, great little daytime dress.

And then kit and ricky.

I don't know if they even wrapped their head around

The word "avant-garde."

[Alberta] it is so strange.

Because their realization is terrible.

[Michael] she picked out these fabrics,

Which I think looked very poor.

If they would've ex*cuted it in a beautiful way

With beautiful materials,

It could've worked.

The one thing I will say, though,

Is the construction

Of that hoop from scratch--

That was good.

But it didn't help the look of the clothes.

[Heidi] no.

And then, the ready-to-wear dress

Truly looked like the poorest...

Amateur. Everything looked amateur.

So we've made our decision?

-Yes. -Yeah.

[Heidi] okay, let's bring them back out.

One of you will be named the winner.

And one of you will be out.

One of you will be named the winner.

And one of you will be out.

Let's start with the winner.

It was between christian's team

And victorya's team.

Congratulations...

Christian.

You were the winner of this challenge.

Your looks will be featured

In a tresemme ad

In elle magazine.

Christian, because you were the team leader,

You will also have immunity

And can't be eliminated in the next challenge.

You both can leave the runway.

I want to win them all, but this challenge

Really meant something.

I'm really excited, and it's great to be in elle.

Being young, I don't have that much press yet.

Victorya,

Jillian.

Good work. You're both in.

You can leave the runway.

Ricky.

You're in. You can leave the runway.

Sweet p.

You're in.

You can leave the runway.

Rami, kit.

One of you will be out.

Rami, your avant-garde look wasn't dramatic.

Unfortunately, the only drama

That we saw was between you and sweet p.

And as a team leader, that is your fault.

Kit, we wanted you to give us something fashion-forward.

But instead, you took us backwards.

But not in a good way.

Kit.

You're out.

That means rami, you're in. You can leave the runway.

Auf wiedersehen, kit.

[Kiss kiss]

Thank you. Bye.

You guys, if any of you cry,

I'm gonna start crying.

I honestly don't believe in regret.

And I have no regrets.

I went out, and I went out big.

So I need to send you upstairs

To clean up your space, okay?

Let's do it.

Love you.

-[Designers] love you. -Bye, kit.

I'm really, really sad that I'm leaving.

But I have two full suitcases

Of friendship and success.

It's unfortunate for me,

But it's also unfortunate

For the competition that I'm out.

[Man] okay, here we go.

[Woman] could you take a step forward?

[Christian] the tresemme ad is pretty amazing.

[Woman] give attitude. Exactly.

Team fierce-- oh, my god, are you joking?

It was total destiny.

[Heidi] next on project runway...

Behind this door, you'll find the raw materials

For your challenge.

I don't even want to know what's on the other side.

[Christian] fabulous.

If you don't understand the situation by now,

You're refusing to learn.

[Sweet p] are you all right, jillian?

I'm really starting to feel

The weight of all of this pressure.

I don't know anyone who would really wanna look like that.

It looks a little home-sewn.

You were not inspired by this at all.

This is like a roller coaster. You don't know where to go.
