06x10 - Around the World in Two Days

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Project Runway...

Designers, for this challenge,

you will be creating
an extravagant stage look

for Christina Aguilera.

This looks like student work.

You don't like anything about it?

No.

The winner of this challenge

is Carol Hannah.

I see, like, an upscale
witch Halloween dress.

Shirin, you're out.

This is Project Runway.

Of course I'm the best.

The search for the next
big fashion designer.

- I have to win.
- I'm in. You're out.

- I'm the best designer here.
- I have no fear.

- Make it work.
- That's my line.

This is my dream.

For these 16 designers,

Project Runway
is the chance of a lifetime.

The winner of Project Runway
will receive

a fashion spread
in marie claire magazine,

a Paris vacation courtesy of Evian,

and $100,000 from L'Oréal Paris

to start their own line.

I have to say... I mean,
there are so many good designers,

and to be reaching that far,
it's pretty cool.

Yeah, it really is.

I am sad to see Shirin leave.

She was one of my roommates.
And it's kind of weird,

because we're all friends,
but at the same time,

we're looking at each other
and kind of picking out the stray sheep.

And the wolves kind of start to circle.

And you're like,
"Okay, who's next?"

We are in the final stretch,

and I really have to sort of assert myself
as a designer and who I am,

and I have to be to the final point
because, America, here I come.

And, you know, right now
it's just me, me, me.

It's Le Mood.

- Le Mood.
- Le Mood.

I'm one of the top seven designers
in this competition.

so to get this far
and to have nine designers gone,

and I'm still here,
that's pretty exciting.

All right. Ready to roll.
You got everything?

- I think so. I hope so.
- I hope so.

Hello.

[All]
Hi.

There are seven of you left,

which means you're getting
closer and closer

to Bryant Park.

- Are you ready for your next challenge?
- Yes.

Tim is going to take you on a little trip
to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills,

where you will meet
a top designer whose work

is known around the world.

It's, like, the possibilities are endless,

because every single designer who's, like,
world renowned has a store there.

- Good luck...
- [chuckling]

...and I'll see you on the runway.

Bye.

[All]
Bye.

[Logan]
Going to Rodeo Drive means

we're probably gonna be
designing something higher-end.

That's where all the stars are shopping.

[Christopher] There's so much
wealth and power down one road.

I work at mall stores.

We don't have an Yves Saint Laurent.

We don't have a Gucci.

And now, here I am,

going down Rodeo Drive

to meet with a top designer.

[Tim]
Good morning, designers, and welcome

to Michael Kors' West Coast flagship

which personifies quality, taste, and style.

[Nicolas]
It's incredibly amazing.

And I'm just looking around the store

and just looking at all
his accessories and...

You know, everything is really,
really, really great.

And please welcome a familiar face.

Michael's going to present you
with your next challenge.

[Michael] Hi, guys. I am so excited
about today's challenge.

One of the things that's so exciting to see is,
how are designers inspired?

We're gonna show you all the great locales
that have inspired me,

all the globetrotting,
all the jet-set travel

that has been such a part of my life
and has always inspired my collections.

So whether real or imaginary,

I wanna see what kind of fabulous outfits
you guys are gonna come up with.

So wow us,
look at the inspirations,

and remember, this is all about having fun
with those inspirations.

Whoo!

[Tim] All right, designers,
let's head back to the workroom.

Welcome to the Michael Kors challenge.

And at the core of
this challenge is inspiration.

So for this challenge,
you will choose a location

and create a look
that certainly embodies

who you are as a designer

but also embraces that locale.

So, Carol Hannah,

you won the last challenge,

and you get to pick
your location first.

I like the idea of having something specific
to be inspired by.

But I'm also a little bit nervous

because I haven't really been
that many places.

- Okay.
- I'm going...

- You got it?
- Yes.

- Palm Beach.
- Palm Beach.

All right.
For the rest of you,

I will pull your name
out of our velvet bag.

- Nicolas.
- Okay. Okay.

So New York is definitely out,
'cause that's too easy for me.

I want something challenging.

I'm gonna go with Greece.

All right.

- Althea.
- [Chattering]

Wow. No indecision here.

Gordana.

New York.

Irina.

I'll go with Aspen.

All right.

I end up choosing Aspen

'cause fur and sort of outerwear
are one of my specialties.

Christopher.

- That was quick.
- [Laughter]

So, Logan,

you get... Hollywood.

[Laughter]

All right, designers,
you have 30 minutes to sketch,

then we're going to Mood,
where you have a budget of $150.

And you have until tonight
to finish this challenge.

So start sketching,

and I will be back.

When I think of Palm Beach,

I think of a relaxed style

but also a very put-together style.

When I think of Saint-Tropez,
of course I think of the big yachts,

the parties, but I also think of

the idea that it's an old fishing town.

And I think I can really
juxtapose the two

and create a really cool outfit.

Park Avenue... it's the rich
of richest of New York.

I'm going for the look of sophisticated,

independent woman.

All right, designers,
let's head out to Mood.

This should be fun.

So, designers, you have $150,
and you have 20 minutes to shop.

Go, go, go.

Where's brushed cotton denim?

I'm just basically gonna
run around the store

until some fabric
really jumps out at me.

[Gordana] I'm able to buy
a lot of these jewels,

and I think I have about
maybe $30 to spend on fabrics.

$150 is not enough
to put a winter look together.

[Tim] All right, designers.
Time is up. That's it.

Everyone needs to be
at the counter to pay.

Will you give me one of each
if I have enough?

- Logan, time's up.
- There.

All right, designers.
Let's head back to the workroom.

- Thank you, Mood.
- Thanks, Mood.

I've had to time
to kind of gather my thoughts

and really become more confident
in the direction that I wanna go.

So the look I'm going for
is kind of this Bohemian,

comfortable and tight skinny jeans.

So I'm gonna do three pieces.

I have a pair of pants,

a full sort of cowl-neck sweater.

And I'm really excited about the vest.

It's a fur vest with a very full hood.

I am definitely taking a risk here.

I'm creating this fantasy
of a woman who lives in Greece.

You know, she's more of a tomboy,
but she's very fabulous.

I can just see it going either way.

Either they're gonna absolutely love it,

or they're gonna
tear me apart on the runway.

My look is one piece.
It's just a dress.

The only problem I'm having

is that I really wish
I had more fabric.

I have just enough
to make it work.

That's kind of irritating.

I crack up over
my own stupid jokes.

[Laughs]

- They look like little wasabi ba*ls.
- [Laughter]

Everyone else just seems like...

You know, they're cracking jokes
every five minutes,

and, like, a stitch
will take them five minutes.

And then they wonder why
they can't finish in time.

It's a lot of pressure for us

to come up with something
on constant basis.

Some people might crumble
under the pressure

and some prevail.

Michael Kors looks at

every single little detail.

He'll be like,
"I wanna like it. I just don't."

- [Imitating Michael] I just don't.
- [Laughter]

It's a little nerve-racking knowing
that this is kind of the Michael Kors challenge,

and he's gonna be judging your piece, too.

Because not only do you
wanna be true to yourself

and put something out there
that has your point of view,

but you also have to
impress Michael.

I just want the perfect fit
so that he approves my design,

whether I'm safe
or I'm in the top three

or, God forbid,
I'm in the bottom three.

Yeah, there's a lot
of pressure on this one.

Coming up on Project Runway...

I know I wanna put
a lot of time in the belt.

But it can't all be about the belt.

I know we all hope that the other one,
like, totally chokes.

There is no dress.

It just makes me nervous
to leave you like this.

Althea.

Yeah, I kind of like it better.

Michael Kors gets inspiration
from places that he's visited,

and he's given us seven
of his favorite locations.

So it's our job to take these locations
and create a garment

using that place as our inspiration.

For most of the challenges,
I found myself on the top.

Then it just went downhill
from there.

I really have to show them
that I have a sophisticated side

and that I have
a high-style side.

I really like my design,
and I know that

it has a simple silhouette,

but I'm making it special

in some other way.

That's so fantastic.

Hi, everybody.

I'm here to check in
with you, okay?

And owing to your adjacency
to the door,

you're the lucky winner, Gordana.

Okay.
[Laughs]

So talk to me.

I have not started my dress yet,

but the whole focus is
this necklace that I'm making.

What I'm doing is, like, because
it has this busy focus here,

you know, I didn't want it
to be busy down there.

I just want you to start on this
dress as soon as possible,

and then play with that
more later.

Okay.
Because I don't want you

to be in a jam where you have
this beautiful neckpiece

but then there is no dress.

It just makes me nervous
to leave you like this.

All right. Are you
confident? I am.

- Work hard. Thank you.
- I will. Thank you, Tim.

- So, Althea, this is looking cute.
- Hey.

- Thank you.
- Talk to me.

Well, I did everything
in a muslin first

just because, for Saint-Tropez,

I feel like it has to look expensive,

and tailoring is a must.

It is a must.
Just watch all the proportions.

- It's menswear tailoring, but it's for a woman.
- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

- It's not as though it's her boyfriend's shirt.
- Right. Sure...

- I mean, what man is gonna wear this?
- [Laughing]

- Yeah.
- All right. I'm gonna leave you.

- Okay. Thank you.
- Go, go, go.

- Christopher.
- Tim, how are you?

I'm good.
So talk to me.

What my plan is is to make
this flowy little dress

that has the blue here,
got some white,

and then the bottom
is gonna be a chiffon.

In the center, to break this up,
is gonna be a belt

that's gonna be
this brown as a base,

with some diamond-shaped
kind of cutouts.

I think you want to avoid...
I'm gonna use that dreaded word... clichés.

I know I want to put
a lot of time in the belt.

- Yeah, but it can't all be about the belt.
- No, no...

If this top and this skirt
aren't fabulous,

no one's gonna care.

Exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

Do it. Okay?

- I'm gonna do it.
- Exuberant. Sophisticated.

- I'm writing it down right now.
- All right.

- Thank you, Christopher.
- Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.

I'm definitely surprised
Christopher's still here.

I mean, his dress
looks like something,

like, an Amish woman would wear.

Carol Hannah, how are you?

Hello. Well.
How are you?

- So we have Palm Beach.
- We do have Palm Beach.

- Talk to me.
- Well, when I first started thinking about this,

I knew I wanted to do a print...

something that would
immediately evoke

the idea of the beach...

and I wanted to do
a long, flowy dress.

What about the design
of this dress...

- You can't get it somewhere else.
- Thank you.

A word from the last runway show
has stuck in my head...

not in a good way...
and the word is "cliché."

- And that's what I'm afraid those may be.
- Yeah.

- Carol Hannah, you still have a lot to do.
- Yeah, I do.

- Just keep it up. All right?
- Keep going that direction.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Nicolas.
- Hi, Tim.

I'm doing a very fashion-forward
younger woman.

This is gonna be the base of it,

but it's gonna have also a little bit more sheer,
which is gonna have

a kind of sort of crisscrossing around

maybe, like, three or four times.

It's different.
[Laughs]

- Well, different is good...
- Yeah.

...as long as different is also stunning.

It's proportion, it's spit,
and it's the silhouette.

- All right.
- Thank you, Tim.

Thank you, Nicolas.

- Logan.
- Hi, Tim.

- So you have Hollywood.
- Yeah.

Tell me who she is.

I don't know. I think that
silhouette is just really young

and just comfortable, and it speaks

really Hollywood and California to me.

And this sweater's just gonna be
kind of oversized with big pockets,

so she's kind of a comfortable look.

[Tim] All right.
You have a ton of work to do.

- I know I do.
- Think cohesion among the parts.

- Mm-hmm.
- And wow everybody.

Yeah.

All right? Thank you, Logan.

Thanks, Tim.

- Irina.
- Hi, Tim.

- How are you?
- Good. Busy.

You are busy. And you've already
accomplished a lot.

- Talk to me.
- I did a pant.

It's a tight but fitted pant.

You know, it's casual,
but it's still dressed up.

And I really wanted to do
sort of a really layered luxe look.

And it almost looks like
she's wearing a full scarf.

- It's a giant cowl.
- Yeah.

The third piece of the look
is gonna be

a vest out of the faux fur.

What you need to just watch,

through the entire process
of the rest of this day...

- Yeah. Yeah.
...is every proportional relationship.

- Everything.
- Okay.

- Thank you, Irina.
- All right, Tim. Thank you.

I think that, at this point, Irina's outfit
is kind of borderlining

costume for a film.

It's really not my thing.

All right, designers, I will tell you,

I'm excited by the potential here.

But you all have a lot of work to do.

I'm going to send in your models now.

You will have 30 minutes with them.

And remember, you have
until midnight tonight.

Okay? Thank you.

I'll see you later.

[Chattering]

Hello.

Hi.

The model is coming,
and I'm, like, freaking out.

I'm not ready for you yet.

It's, like, what the hell am I going
to put on her? A necklace?

I have to complete the dress.

- You know what's funny?
- What?

I was in a hurry and cut these.

I put the jeans on Celine,
and I've gotta figure out a way

to get a couple more inches in there,

because right now
they're not gonna work.

The model fitting with Kojii
is going great.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time
right now to drape the top,

so I will have to be fitting her

literally moments before
we go on the runway

and doing some
last-minute alterations.

[Laughing]

There are moments
when I look around,

and, like, the level of creativity

or craftsmanship
hasn't increased in any way.

They're getting by on just, like,
doing the bare minimum,

and I try to top what I did
the previous challenge,

'cause I do like well-made clothes.

I mean, who doesn't?
Clothes should be well made.

[Carol Hannah]
Irina came here...

It was pretty clear
from the beginning

that she wasn't really here
to make friends.

I think it bothered other people.

She's not gonna
beat around the bush.

I basically have about an hour left

before the end of the day,

and I'm completely at my last wits,

because I have never
worked a jersey before.

I'm not loving this fabric.

The drape is starting to look
very Grecian goddess,

which is something
that I completely do not want.

And I don't know what to do.

If Christopher can put that garment
down the runway and not get eliminated,

then I don't know what's going on.

After I got all my elements together,

I stood back and I looked at it,
and I thought, "Oh, no.

This is Little House on the Prairie."

With just a couple minutes to spare,

I took about 20 inches off
the bottom of the dress.

I'm so happy I hacked that off.

[Nicolas] I'll be honest. I'm like,
"Look, I ran out of time."

[AIthea]
You look different today.

It's because I'm about to rip my hair out.

I think I'm in a lot of trouble.

- Shut up.
- No.

- You say that every time.
- And then you win.

[Nicolas] I really truly feel that,
you know, the seven of us

are an amazing group,

and I'm very close to each one of us.

Like, I don't wanna go home.

I wanna, like, stay here.

I mean, I know we all hope
that the other one, like, totally chokes.

But, you know, I feel
that we're all very talented,

and that's why it's so hard

to pick out who the judges are gonna love

and who the judges are gonna hate.

[AIthea]
Bryant Park definitely feels closer.

It kind of really puts
this extra adrenaline rush

and sort of, like, this extra,
like, energy inside you.

It makes everything
a bit more intense.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

[Chattering]

[Carol Hannah]
There's so few of us left now

that a person leaving is two-sided.

It's like, "Yay, one down.
One less. I'm still here."

But it's a really weird feeling that

whether we like it or not,
someone is leaving tomorrow.

Coming up on Project Runway...

Everybody's silently panicking.

I had a little mental breakdown.

[Carol Hannah]
It's a little scary.

Please follow me.
We're going to the runway.

- Unbelievable.
- It's just, like, do or die.

Do you want some bacon?

Sure.

This morning, I don't feel
so good about my dress.

I realize what I really wanted
to do a little bit too late.

It's a little scary.

[Christopher] So, Nicolas,
what do you have left to do?

Well, obviously, we all remember
how Nicolas had a little freak-out last night.

I had a little mental breakdown last night,

because when it got time to do my top,

I blanked.

I can't wait to see what,
like, Michael thinks about it.

- Ready?
- I'm ready as I'm ever gonna be.

Going into the workroom this morning,

everything needs a bit of steaming,
a few touch-ups,

but I'm feeling pretty good.

I'm cutting a new waistband just in case.

But I'm banking on when Celine comes in
before her hair and makeup

that these pants are gonna fit.

The workroom is very quiet.

Everybody's silently panicking
and trying to finish.

- Good morning, designers.
- Good morning, Tim.

I'm about to send in your models.
You have two hours

to send them to the Garnier Hair Studio
and the L'Oréal Paris makeup room.

Please use the Macy's accessory wall
very thoughtfully.

And wow those judges.
All right.

I'm gonna send in your models.

I can't wait to see it.

I think it's gonna be so cool.

I hacked, like, 20 inches off the bottom.
It's so funny.

I'm so glad that, at the last minute,

I cut that skirt off.

Bringing it up makes it a lot more cute
and sophisticated.

And the belt is hot.

I really like what my dress looks like.

But then, on the other hand,
you really never know.

Is your idea going to say the image
that you're supposed to portray?

Better?

- Yeah.
- Yay.

We put the jeans on,
and they fit perfect.

So it's this huge relief.

This hem is so long.

It's taking forever to finish.

But if it looks like crap
coming down the runway,

they don't really care how much
detail you put in the top,

because you obviously didn't bother

to finish your dress.

Okay, perfect.

Nicolas kind of went off

in his own world on this one.

Okay, great.
Okay, perfect.

As I'm looking at my outfit,

I absolutely do not see Greece in it.

But a person can definitely
wear it in Greece.

As I'm working,
I definitely see Saint-Tropez.

I mean, I'm sort of like,
"Why hasn't anyone made this before?

And wearing it there.
Because they need to."

Very sun-kissed, Saint-Tropez.

Let's do the sleek look.
Young Hollywood.

Okay. Thank you.

I have the most to gain, I think,
from this competition.

When I apply for a fashion designer
position with a company,

I don't have that degree,
I don't have that piece of paper,

so I'm pushed aside,
and no one takes a look

at my experience and my talent
and my ambition and my drive.

And now, I think,
people are gonna see it.

I have so many things left
that I really want to do,

and I'm running out of time.

My model has not a drop
of makeup on her face.

That's it. We're done.

- I mean, the necklace is incredible.
- Mm-hmm.

All right. Let's go do
the sleeves, quick.

Designers and models...

Unbelievable.

Please follow me.
We're going to the runway.

We're gonna have a great show.
Let's go, everyone.

You know, when we first started this,

you could always pick out,
like, the weaklings.

But just looking around the room,

there's nobody to take
the fall at this point.

It's just, like, do or die.

Congratulations to everyone.

Coming up on Project Runway...

For me, unwearable.

It's just basic clothes.

You didn't go far enough.

It was just ugly.

Welcome to the runway.

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

and the next day you're out.

There are seven of you here,

and after tonight,
there will be six.

This week, you met with
our very own Michael Kors,

who instructed you
to create a design

inspired by fabulous locations.

You had $150 and one day
to put it together.

And we're looking forward
to see what you've done.

All right.
Let's meet the judges.

First, we have top American designer,
Michael Kors.

- Hey, Michael.
- Guys.

Fashion director
for marie claire magazine,

Nina Garcia.

- Hi, everyone.
- [All] Hi.

And actress, L'Oréal spokesperson
and CFDA-nominated designer,

- Milla Jovovich.
- [Applause]

Yay.

We will score your designs
as they come down the runway.

One of you will be named the winner,

and one of you will be out.

Let's start the show.

[Echoing]
D Hold it now d

I really like the look
coming down the runway.

The only thing that
I'm a little concerned about

is if it really speaks loudly
of Hollywood.

I think that I might
have to do some explaining,

but at this point,
I'm really proud of what I've made.

I can totally picture my model

walking the streets in Saint Tropez.

You know, jumping into a convertible
on her way to a yacht.

And I think she would've fit in nicely,

and I definitely think she would've
made a statement as well.

As I'm watching my garment,

I'm really happy with the overall look.

I mean, I don't really care that
it was from Greece or whatever.

But I can definitely see
people wearing it.

You can't go through life
just not taking risks.

The dress looks really good
coming down the runway.

It definitely reads Palm Beach.

I feel like you can definitely
see me in this dress.

The detailing at the top is very much
along the lines of things that I do.

But I don't know

if it's exactly what
the judges are looking for

for the challenge.

Seeing Matar hit the runway...
she looks beautiful.

Everything's hitting exactly
where it's supposed to go.

The lines are where
they're supposed to be.

I'm really happy
with my fabric choices.

I'm extremely happy
with my color choices.

It's a very proud moment.

I definitely see Aspen
when I look at my garment.

She looks like a sexy,
rich snow bunny.

I wanted to do
a very warm brown color palette,

and I think the colors
really work well together.

And I'm really happy about that.

My dress is definitely
a little bit out there

compared to everybody else's.

The only thing
that I'm worried about

is the color of the dress,

because my winning garment
was gray.

I chose gray again.

But gray looks great with crystals.

Althea, please step forward.

Your scores have qualified you

to move on to the next challenge.

- You can leave the runway.
- Thank you.

The six of you have the highest
and the lowest scores.

One of you will be named the winner,

and one of you will be out.

Let's bring out your models.

Irina, you got inspired by Aspen.

I did actually want to do pants

that are inspired by
maybe, like, ski pants.

She could ski, but she'll probably sip
some champagne at the lodge.

Definitely this girl is a character.
She doesn't ski.

- Yeah... No.
- No.

[Laughter]

It's like a little girl playing
the grande dame of Aspen.

It's cool. I like it.

There's some surprise

when she took off
the little faux fur vest.

You have that back.
Can I see that?

You know, so there's
some sex involved.

It's a very kind of

- literal '80s kind of Aspen thing.
- Yeah.

You kind of twisted it
around a little bit.

It draws you in into the fantasy
that you want to be this girl

and look this way.

I think, too, that you've
done an incredible job.

Looking at these pants...
I mean, they are impeccable.

- Christopher, you were inspired by Santa Fe.
- Yes.

Please tell us about your look.

I was inspired by the color story

and the elements
going on in the landscape,

and I saw sand, sky
and these rocky bluffs.

This is what I came up with.

When I hear Santa Fe,
I think about Georgia O'Keeffe,

fantastic turquoise,
perhaps a little more vivid colors.

I think it's so important
that you use the inspiration,

but we don't turn it
into a costume.

But quite simply,
I don't think anyone

who's ever thought
about the American West

would get that from this look.

Milla, what do you think?

I love the belt.

It's got this, like,


I think that the way the leather
is like a puzzle, I think, is really beautiful.

But it's the only interesting thing about this
garment, unfortunately.

Carol Hannah, you were inspired
by Palm Beach.

The things that came to my mind

were sunshine, the beach.

You know, kind of a relaxed
but dressed-up feeling.

And this is what it developed into.

I love the choice of print,

and I also love the braiding

that you did here and in the back.

- Can she turn around?
- It's actually a twist.

It's beautiful.

I would live in that dress.

Love it. At-home glamour.

You picked the right fabric,
and you really sewed it together beautifully.

I think the fabric's gorgeous.

You know, you're dealing with a place

where it is all about
expl*sive color, pattern...

You know, that's a pinstripe in Palm Beach,

- that print.
- [Laughter]

Literally. Trust me.

And I think that
the interesting thing is

one kind of girl
would wear that with flip-flops,

or you might put on
some serious jewelry with it

and turn it into a dressy dress.

Nicolas.

Well, I had Greece,
so I sort of imagined it as

a little bit more
of a high-end place.

You know, she's a little edgy
and more interesting.

So that's what I did.

I think you got the wrong Greece.

I think you got Grease the movie

with John Travolta
and Olivia Newton-John.

Where is the fantasy of this outfit?

Why would I want to go into a store

and spend my money on this?

It's odd that the body part of the top

is very tight,
and then the sleeves are super loose.

I do like the shirt...

to do that top as, like, a dress.

I almost wish that you had
taken the idea of the shirt

and just gone all the way with it.

Gordana, you had Park Avenue
as your inspiration.

Yes. I'm imagining the socialite,

the gallery openings.

Most of my money
went on the crystals on it.

And I know it's not
a great dress,

but I didn't really have
much money for the fabric.

I love the necklace.
I think you can see the work you put into it.

The dress... I almost wish
that it was more simple.

Ideally, that's what I was going for,

but then it looked kind of too simple

when I put it together.

I think it's quite beautiful.

The necklace is amazing.
Or the... It's not really a necklace.

It's part of the dress.
I think it's very, very special.

Actually, I made it so that
she can take it off

and wear it with, like, jeans and
a really cool top and just have the necklace.

I think it's a really sexy,
sophisticated, sleek dress.

It's urban. It's all of the things
that really are very Park Avenue.

Logan, you got inspired by Hollywood.

My initial inspiration
was kind of younger Hollywood.

So, Lindsay Lohan
or Mary-Kate maybe

walking down the boulevard, shopping.

I did wanna do denim for the pants.

And just adding some zippers
to make it a little bit more edgy.

If you were going to go
with this new generation,

it's a lot on the styling.

And I don't think
that you managed to do that here.

It's just basic clothes.

I have to say I didn't mind it so much.

You've designed, in the beginning,
much younger, and it was a bit more edgy,

and I feel like I can see that again today.

If you are gonna deal with
sportswear separates like this,

blow the jean shape out.

Make it an outrageous shape.

- Spray paint them, like...
- Do something.

They're clothes.
They're not fashion.

Pants, jeans... I mean,

this is one of the biggest money-making
businesses in the world,

and people are pulling it out
when it comes to design...

fabric, colors...

I mean, there's good ideas in there,

and I just think next time,
just really go for it.

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.
Thank you.

Okay, let's talk about
the designers that we did like.

Let's start with Irina.

I think she took the interpretation

and she really developed it
into that dream.

It looked luxe.

[Heidi]
She did a lot of pieces for $150.

It had runway power,
and it looked like Aspen.

But I wish from the waist up,
like, there was some surprise.

Or maybe a different color.
Maybe not all so camel.

It's almost too much.

Let's move on to Gordana.

[Michael] She spent all that time
creating that necklace,

which it was cool to hear
that you could take it off

and wear it with a T-shirt
and jeans, whatever.

It fit the part. It was Park Avenue.
It was uptown.

Yeah, the fantasy was there.

I think Gordana needs
to be more confident all around.

The last thing I wanna see is
a designer putting down their own dress,

- like, as they're presenting it to you.
- Yeah.

But she's very good.

All right.
Let's talk about Carol Hannah.

[Michael] I thought that the fabric
was a smart choice.

I liked the detailing.

It definitely looked like Palm Beach.

Oh, definitely.

She is talented.

You can see by the detailing

that she's got something to say
and she can do it well.

I love the fabric,
but she needed that little extra.

Let's talk about the designers
with the lower scores.

Let's start with Christopher.

I did think he had a problem
with the proportions.

The skirt was too short.
The sleeves were too boxy.

Unwearable.
For me, unwearable.

I was surprised that someone
who can make a belt

that's so cool

would make the rest
of that outfit so kind of sad.

It was just ugly.

Let's talk about Nicolas.

His Greece is a song.
That's what I think.

[Milla] It's really too bad,
because the idea could've been great

if he would've just taken the pants away

and sort of not cut the thing.

My big question is,
you walked into Mood,

and you were like,
"Oh, gray menswear fabric!

Ooh, that's what's talking to me."

I mean, white T-shirt and...

Nothing says Greece
more than gray menswear.

Gray menswear! Wow!

Let's move on to Logan.

I have to say, I didn't mind it.

I feel like it's the first time
that I see him coming back.

Well, listen, if this was called
Project I Didn't Mind lt,

- then he would win.
- [Laughter]

People are doing really
interesting things right now.

So he's gotta be able

- to take that sportswear and...
- You gotta take it to the next level,

- because jeans and a T-shirt doesn't cut it.
- No.

Okay. So, we've made our decision?

All right.
Let's bring them back out.

The six of you represent
the best and the worst.

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.

Carol Hannah, you're in.

- You can leave the runway.
- Thank you.

Irina, you are the winner
of this challenge.

On such a limited budget,

you gave us a majorly luxe look.

It looked Aspen,
and it made us want to sip champagne

in a ski lodge.

Congratulations.
You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

It feels amazing knowing
that I've won three challenges.

It's definitely a great reinforcement
that the judges like my work,

and they are understanding
me as a designer... what I'm doing.

But it's a lot of pressure.

I kind of have to compete with
what I've already done and top that.

Gordana,

good job.

But you need to have confidence
and defend your designs.

You're selling yourself short
on the runway.

Okay.

You can leave the runway.

Thanks. Ciao, Milla.

For the rest of you,

you're all very talented.

But, again, you have to really
pump up the volume.

Logan,

you're in.

- You can leave the runway.
- Thank you.

Christopher, Nicolas...

one of you will be out.

Nicolas, you sadly missed the mark.

This outfit in no way read Greece.

You didn't think about the challenge.

Christopher...

you are in the bottom two yet again.

Your look was wishy-washy
and didn't give us a sense of place.

Where was the fantasy
and inspiration?

Christopher...

...you're in.

You can leave the runway.

[No audible dialogue]

I'm sorry, Nicolas.
That means you're out.

Auf Wiedersehen.

- Bye, guys.
- Bye.

I don't know how you guys
do it every week.

[Laughing]

[Sighs]

Aw.

Why are you guys crying?
Don't cry.

Yeah, this is the last time
you've heard of me.

I'm so gonna take a break
and maybe move to London

or Paris or Japan or, you know,
become a sheep herder.

- No, I'm just kidding.
- I'm gonna miss you.

I'm really proud of everything I've done.
It was such a roller coaster.

This one really sucked.

Tim.

You know, the work
was beautifully ex*cuted.

It was a matter of taste.

- So, Nicolas...
- Yes.

I have to send you to the workroom

- to clean up your space.
- Of course.

- Okay?
- All right, guys.

- You're a great designer.
- And I'll see you guys later.

Bye.

Sad.

Because of my over-the-top style,

it's been very hard for me to, like,
break into the fashion industry.

So I'm gonna stay strong,
and I'm gonna keep fighting.

I've been fighting my whole life.

It was an amazing experience,
and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Next week on Project Runway...

We are facing away from the runway,
which we've never done before.

- Your challenge is...
- [laughter]

It's one of the most
horrifying moments.

I really don't want to.

You'll see who the real designers are.

[Groans]
I feel like it's a big scary mess.

You're not going to get
an argument from me.

[AIthea] I look over,
and Logan's collar is the same collar

that I did in the Christina Aguilera challenge.

Right now it looks like
it's waiting for a diaper.

[Laughter]

This didn't work at all.

We did tell you to turn up the volume,
but this exploded.
