07x11 - Sew Much Pressure

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Project Runway...

You're going to be designing
your own textile.

I've never designed my own fabric. Wow.

I want one of these at home.

Oh, I love it!

I kind of had a block on this challenge.

- Unblock.
- This is getting so hard.

Emilio, you are the winner
of this challenge.

Thank you.

Maya, you're in.

I don't want to be safe.
I want to win a challenge.

This was yet another
simple c*ck dress.

Anthony, you're out.

Mila, which one of them
will be in, and which one will be out?

I'm sorry, Cerri.
I think I'm gonna go with Kristina.

Thank you.

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

This is Project Runway.

The winner of Project Runway

will receive a fashion spread
in marie claire magazine,

an opportunity to sell
their line on bluefly. Com,

a $50,000 technology suite

to create, design, and run their business

from HP and Intel,

and $100,000 from L'Oréal Paris

to launch their line.

- Can I have coffee now, please?
- Sure.

Thank you, Seth.

- I know.
- You know, now that Anthony's gone,

a lot of chatter, a lot of singing

and a lot of jacked-up bull[bleep]

We'll be missing, meaning a lot of fun.

He had an amazing run.

A lot of people wrote him off early,
but he came through.

There is six of us left.

The competition is getting
more and more intense.

- [Toaster clicks]
- Mila, your toast is ready.

In the prior challenge,

the judges were extremely hard
on everyone.

I don't find anything intriguing
about this print.

It's like a disco straitjacket.

This is a full-on catastrophe.

And so I'm stressed out
just like everybody else.

But I do think my age and experience

have taught me that I just
have to brush myself off and move on.

I'm proud to be the youngest
in the competition.

But it's a little scary sometimes,

because I think everybody else
has more experience than I do.

It's definitely getting harder.

I guess I haven't seen anything yet.

- Ready?
- Yep.

Let's do it.

Thank you.

- Hello.
- Hi, Heidi.

It's time for your next challenge.

It's getting harder and harder for us

to decide who will go each week.

So now, more than ever,
your designs must set you apart

from the competition.

And with that in mind,
I'm excited to tell you

that you'll be designing
a look for a celebrity.

This person does have
a little bit of a reputation

for being opinionated, headstrong,
and knowing what they want.

And I'm glad that I'm not
in your shoes.

Tim will be waiting for you
in the workroom

to fill you in on all of the details.

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

[All]
Bye.

[Seth Aaron]
A very, very picky, opinionated celebrity.

I'd just totally be making [bleep] up
if I said I wasn't nervous.

A celebrity. We're all excited.

Designers, I hope you're ready
for this challenge.

Okay.

You'll be designing
a red-carpet look for a celebrity.

Oh, yeah.

- Would you like to meet the celebrity?
- Yes.

- It's [bleep] Heidi.
- [Laughter]

Hi.

[Tim]
Welcome to the workroom, Heidi.

I love being here.

You said the celebrity
is opinionated and picky.

I am very, very, very opinionated

and very, very, very picky.

- Yes, indeed.
- And we love that about you.

No. But I'm very excited,
because I do want you to design for me,

but I also do not want you
to lose your point of view as a designer.

You have to think more simple
when you think about the red carpet,

because it has to work
from all angles.

I will not have a bump,

so think of me without ze bump.

I also will show you some things

- that I've worn in the past.
- You'll have a dossier.

- Sounds good?
- [Designers] Sounds great.

I do want to be
on the best-dressed list...

- That's right.
...and not on the worst-dressed list.

- Thank you, Heidi.
- [Applause]

All right. I'm going to give you


then we're going shopping at Mood,

- where you'll have a budget of $300.
- Oh.

I'll be back in 30 minutes.
Thank you.

Actually, dressing Heidi Klum,
not for a client,

but for her,

what she likes... this is a big deal.

This is one you want to win.

D You've got 30 minutes d

d To make or break yourself d
[laughing]

[Jonathan]
Being in the bottom last challenge

was such a shock to me.

I was so confident in my outfit

that I have decided
that I am in reverse world,

and I have no idea how to be in the top

unless I make something really ugly.

And the judges would probably love it.

I don't do red-carpet dresses
very often,

so that worries me a little bit.

But that said, she wants something

that is simple and elegant,
and I definitely know how to do that.

I want to do what I do best,

which is volume and texture.

And it needs to have
some special detail

that could be captured easily
by cameras.

This is paparazzi.

This is 100 flashbulbs
at the same time.

This is not about being subtle.

This has to be "wow, bam"
from the moment it steps off.

[Tim] Designers, may I
have your attention, please?

Maya has something
very important to share with you.

She and I have just had a talk.

So I've decided
to leave the competition.

- No.
- No way.

Are you [bleep] crazy?

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah.

I just feel like I'm really not ready
to, like, go all the way yet.

We're all completely dumbfounded.

- Wow.
- Maya, come on. You're so close.

[Jonathan] She's made it to the
final six, and she's so talented.

She really could make it
to Bryant Park.

I've done a lot,
but I'm not quite ready

to get to that point yet, so...

In the beginning, I thought that I had
really, really what it took.

And I do think I have great ideas.

But I just got out of school,

and I'm feeling like

I'm not fully developed
as a designer yet.

What worries me about you
is that you are

very referential.

It's always drawing
from another designer's point of view.

The day you put
a collection on the catwalk

that will say "inspired by,"
and that will destroy you.

There's some things
about my own point of view as a designer

that I still need to work out.

I don't want to put myself out there

when I'm not completely ready to.

And I'm having a hard time

just, like, performing
on command, you know?

Don't want to just see it through
for one more challenge?

No. I really think...
I really think that it's my time.

But I feel really, really happy
that I've been here with you guys.

You guys have been
really inspiring to me.

Well, we're desperately sorry
to lose you, Maya.

Oh, my God. I'm gonna miss you.

I'm really shocked.
I thought that she

really wanted to go to Bryant Park.

[Jonathan]
Perplexed. Baffled.

None of us really understand
why she's decided to leave.

[Jay]
I think a lot of it has to do with her age.

To be that young
and have this much pressure.

That's a cop-out.
If you're gonna leave,

say, "Okay, I'm gonna design
my ultimate outfit,

and let them kick me out on that outfit."

- Good luck, Seth Aaron.
- Thank you.

Don't quit. Quitters never win.

- Bye, guys.
- Bye.

[Maya]
I know my limits.

I've made my decision,
and I think it's time for me to go.

[Sighs]

Wow. I never expected that.

- I never expected that.
- [Mila] I didn't, either.

[Seth Aaron]
You think it was just the moment?

Like, we're right here, it's the end,
and what if I do make it,

and I don't know
what the hell to do once I get there?

Yeah, I think so.
I think she's been feeling

the pressure a lot lately.

You know, we work 18,


You're pretty much drained
all the time.

So, you know, anybody sitting at home,

saying, "Oh, my God,
I can't believe Maya quit"...

You know what? [bleep] off.
You have no clue.

Don't judge.
You come here and try it.

But at least I'm
coming in alone this time.

That was a bit of a shock, yes?

- Yes.
- Yeah, that was just wow.

- Very shocking.
- Yeah.

I'm as stunned as you all are.

Yeah.

But let's rally ourselves.
I'm gonna rally you.

And let's head off to Mood,
because we still have a challenge.

- Mood!
- Let's go.

All right, designers.
Don't disappoint Heidi.

No pressure.

Your 30 minutes starts now.

Something that's gonna
photograph beautifully.

That looks like blush.

I want something that's
gonna really make her pop.

This is beautiful.

I'm gonna look for a beautiful print

that I can do my cutwork between.

I really want to do a brighter color

so the judges can really
see it from the runway.

Ten minutes.

This time, instead of using
such high contrast materials,

I'm using gunmetal gray with gold.

You have two minutes
remaining, everyone.

Okay, Mila, you just need to commit.

[Seth Aaron]
You know, other people are using colors,

and that really represents who they are.

But in Heidi's look book,
half the dresses are black.

- Time.
- Perfect.

Come on, everyone.
Let's go back to Parsons.

Thank you, Mood.

And then there were five.

Since Maya has opted out,
that leaves five of us.

It's a lot to process.

It's really hard to focus on the work,
to be honest.

[Seth Aaron] How is that
gonna play into the challenges?

Who's going next?

I mean, any one of us could go,
including myself.

D Not d
But I could.

Time to simplify.

Designers, I have an announcement.

There are five of you.

We were fully expecting
for there to be six,

therefore we are bringing
a designer back.

All of our little worlds
have just been turned upside down.

[Sighs]

Crap. Who could it be?

Coming up on Project Runway...

- Seth Aaron.
- Yes, sir?

I need to have a word with you outside.

Uh-oh.

And the day keeps getting
weirder and weirder.

Basically, like the space
in between your bra.

There is no space in between the bra.

Do you just want to have a quick look?

But this reminds me
a little bit of, like, curtains.

[Tim]
Designers, there are five of you.

We were fully expecting
for there to be six.

The stake of the competition
was really hinging

on the fact that there were six of us,

so Maya's place
will need to be filled.

Here she is, boys!

[Laughter]

I have a second chance at greatness.

Hi!

Who wants Anthony back?

But, hell, who wouldn't
want Anthony back?

I like him. You should like him, too.

We wanted to bring the last designer
who was eliminated back.

And I'm very glad to be back.

All right? So it's anyone's game.

I knew you'd figure out
how to talk your way back in.

We need a level playing field,
and if someone goes home,

someone's injured, you know,

just like in a football game,
they bring someone else in.

- D Chocolate pudding d
- Chocolate pudding's glad to be back.

I'm actually really happy
to have Anthony back.

You know,
it's a shame to lose Maya,

but Anthony is
a breath of fresh air in that workroom.

I'm going to give you


Then you'll be going to Mood
with a budget of $300

and 30 minutes to shop.

And we will give you extra time
that will correspond

to the time that you've missed
in the workroom

- that the other designers have had.
- All right.

So it's a make-it-work
moment for you, too.

- Yes. Thank you, Tim.
- Thanks, Anthony.

- Welcome back.
- Thank you.

I am an ambassador.
I could be the representative

of second chances.

It would be wonderful if the judges

have to take a deep breath
and say, "Wait a minute."

However, I just don't think
that my ultimate goal

is to prove something to them.

This time around, the one person
I need to impress is myself.

Anthony, time to go to Mood,

though I'm sending you
off on your own.

Tim, it won't be right if you don't say
"Anthony, don't pick that."

[Both laugh]

I have to have a winning mind
in order for me to make it

all the way through.

I can't doubt myself.

I have to be able to show my best.

[Emilio]
How's it going, Jay?

Good, so far.

[Jonathan] I can't believe that it's
Heidi's challenge that we only have one day.

- You're doing your cutwork, right?
- Yeah.

Anytime I do this cutwork technique,
I'm aware of how long it takes.

I'm gonna sew layers
of fabric together,

and then cut away at them
at different levels

to create an openwork filigree.

I have nine and a half hours
to finish a freaking masterpiece.

The fabric is very, very drapey
and kind of see-through,

so my first thing is to build
a fully boned understructure

that will support
the delicate fabric on top.

So, basically,
I'm making two dresses.

I hope my dress is interesting enough.

[Seth Aaron]
Mine's pretty simple.

I want to create a sleek silhouette

that will teardrop onto the floor,

and my fit proportion
is an absolute must.

It's a busy day for me in here,
let me tell you.

- Tim!
- Seth Aaron.

- Yes, sir?
- I need to have a word with you outside.

Uh-oh.

And the day just keeps
getting weirder and weirder.

Today really hurt me
in the way that I am able

to focus on my work.

All of the events
that have been happening...

I feel like it's really putting me behind.

- [Whistling]
- [Mila] What's up?

Um, Valeria got offered Donna Karan.

My model's been offered a job.

Unfortunately, it takes place
on runway day.

So she's going.

- Oh, she is?
- Yeah.

She took the job.

So I get Cerri.

I've never worked with Cerri.

She is not Valeria's shape,
but at this stage,

I'm already so far into it,
I don't know what's gonna happen.

- I's back.
- You're back.

One day to make
a freaking red-carpet gown

that's gotta pass
the scrutiny of the judges?

[Sighs]

[Anthony]
I do feel some pressure,

but I cannot allow the pressure
that I'm feeling to consume me.

- Designers.
- Hi, guys.

- Hi, Heidi.
- [Tim] Look who I have.

Are you guys working hard?

Yeah.

- And Miss Thing is back.
- [Tim] Yeah.

- Welcome back.
- Thank you.

I'm glad to be back, Heidi.

Heidi's going to take a look around.

What the hell?

I wanna see what you guys
have been doing.

Heidi's never been
in the workroom before

with us here, anyways.

All the designers are sweating b*ll*ts.

- Can we have a look?
- You're kidding me.

- Hello.
- Hello.

[Emilio]
Heidi is not a shy judge.

Heidi is very particular
about every little detail.

I love black, obviously,

but I didn't want to go black-black,

so I found this great smoked black.

This looks like a short dress.
You're taking it long, right?

Oh, yeah. I gotta fit it
'cause I have a new girl.

- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.

There's nothing wrong
with black... simple and long.

I feel like something has to be
a little bit more somewhere.

Especially on the red carpet.

You always have to have, like,
some sort of showstopper.

- Thank you, Seth Aaron.
- You're back.

- Ooh, and you're going black and white.
- Yeah.

What happens here?
Is this all gonna be,

like, smooth and stuff?

Well, after the waist,
it kind of just falls.

I'm not designing it to hug.

I want it to move.

- I like black and white.
- So it's potentially

- something very exciting.
- Yeah.

- What are you doing?
- What I'm creating is,

like, a long mermaid.

What's beautiful about this fabric

is the further away you go from it,
the less you see

the individual sequins.

And how do you make it
go to the floor?

I have to then just
seam it on the bias.

- It's gonna be very, very difficult.
- Mm-hmm.

- Which is a good thing.
- It is a good thing.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you, Emilio.

The whole idea is to kind of,
like, continue these lines

below the hip, which will
kind of, like, ruffle.

So you're gonna do this with this
hard fabric and with the soft fabric?

Yes.

Just think about, you know,

we don't want to look bigger
than we are.

Think about how to do it
and make her not look

- like she has...
- A big a*s.

...been sitting around
eating pie and cake.

[Jay] You know, this is a good
thing. At the end of the day,

she's wearing this piece
that I'm designing for her,

so her opinion matters.

So there is the cleavage,

but there is a block there.
How does that look?

It's basically, like,
the space in between your bra.

There is no space
in between the bra.

Do you just want a quick look?

See? They kind of are together.
Can I just show you?

[Tim]
Look at this experience you're having.

- [Laughing]
- I know.

- Hi. How are you doing?
- Good.

Tell us, what are you doing?

Okay, so I've combined
three different fabrics.

And, you know,
I was toying with the idea

of doing some sort of
combination of these two

or even three fabrics for this strap area.

Is it too simple?

It's not too simple for me.

But are the other ones better?

- Okay.
- Food for thought.

- Food for thought, for sure.
- Thank you.

I started with a color
that wasn't in your dossier,

but I thought would be
beautiful on you, which was coral.

Oh, yeah. I think
your palette's wonderful.

- To be honest, I do like these together.
- Mm-hmm.

But this reminds me
a little bit of, like,

curtains.

She immediately hates the fabric

that I've been working on
for eight hours.

I think, like, all this twisting

and this stuff is really beautiful.

I would say cut this bit off

and do more
with these three things.

My feeling is,
if you can make this work

- in the next four hours,
- Okay.

You will be driving
a very important point home

to our judge about how versatile
you are as a designer

- and how well you can respond.
- Yeah.

- Let's let him work.
- Exactly.

Thank you.

- [Heidi] Bye, everybody.
- [Jay] Thank you.

- [Tim] Bye, everyone.
- [Heidi] See you on the runway.

- I can't wait.
- Me, too.

There we go.
[Laughs]

Heidi mentions that she wants

[high-pitched voice, accent]
All sorts of drapey pieces

that all lay over each other
and go into the skirt

and swirl around the dress.

That's a dress that would
probably take about a week to make.

So, um, if I start now,

I should be done next Thursday.

[Model]
Hi.

Ooh. That's hot.

Yeah, I'm happy for her,
and I'm happy I got you.

- You didn't know?
- No.

Good evening.

[Squealing]

Why is Anthony here?

'Cause, um, Maya quit.

You're kidding.

- Did you guys see that coming?
- No.

- It was just out of the blue.
- [Mutters]

Since we haven't worked together,
I just need to fit this

'cause I know you're thinner
through here than she is.

I have not seen Cerri.
I don't know her measurements.

Like, where her back falls
or anything.

So I'm working on having to revamp
something I've already started.

So I'll pull that.
This'll be pulled already.

I'm just going to go forward

and hope it's enough
to put me through.

- Whoo!
- Okay.

- Thank you so much, sweetie pie.
- Thank you, babe.

I'll see you tomorrow.

- Good night.
- See you.

Oh, my God.

A lot has gone down today.

People are really trying
to pull out the tricks,

at the same time,
balancing the timeframe,

Maya's leaving, Valeria's leaving...

Oh, Lord, I'm sweating
like a freaking pig here.

- [Jonathan] It's insanity in here.
- [Anthony screams]

It's definitely becoming
a huge pressure cooker.

[Shouting]
Where the hell is my...

Heidi's scared that I'm
gonna make her butt look big.

I either need to change it

or just go with my gut

and just do what
my original intention is.

I just have to figure it out.

If they don't give us any more time,

I don't know if there's
gonna be a show tomorrow.

So, the drapey dress
that I'm making for Heidi

is disgusting

and looks horrifying
on my mannequin.

- It's do-or-die time.
- Are you making a brand-new dress?

- Yes.
- Wow.

I tear the entire thing apart,

pull out any extra yardage I have.

I start a third dress.

- That's what you call... talent.
- Making it work.

I'm thinking really drapey
bias-cut panels,

short to show off Heidi's legs.

Hopefully Brandise
is wearing a dress tomorrow.

Coming up on Project Runway...

Are you gonna be able to do it?
You have to do it.

A, it doesn't say Heidi,
and B, it doesn't say red carpet.

- [Yells]
- We're going down to the runway.

I think it's just a matter of taste.

Due to all the changes,
my shutdown time is 2:30.

So I was only was able to sleep
for an hour,

but I'm working through it.

Oh, Lord.

I'm feeling really tired and stressed,

and I'm worried after
Heidi's critique yesterday.

I'm definitely sweating here.

Fire.

Oh, yeah.

Everybody is a little unsure
of where they are, you know?

We just don't have enough time

to pull out red-carpet looks.

It's always good
when we're all in the same

awful, horrible sinking boat.

God be with me today.
[Chuckling]

I'm gonna take this moment

to send out a special message
to Miss Maya.

Thank you, and God bless you, too.

[Laughing]

[Yells]

[Yells]

I try to keep my momentum up.

I'm kind of a spastic-type person,

so even me at half speed

is way faster than the average person.

[Muttering]

I am feeling very, very,
very, very rushed.

There is so much to do.

I am absolutely redesigning
the front of my dress.

Not because I sewed it wrong,
just because the interface

is doing something weird,
and I just do not have time to deal with it.

So life is very interesting right now.

This piece I'm making...
it's so intricate and tricky

that I just have to finish it

and show the judges
that I can do other things

besides things that I've been doing
over the past challenges.

You can't go out there thinking
you know anything

about what they're thinking.

You go out there, present something nice
and hope for the best.

[Mila]
Jonathan... he started over.

He made an entire new dress
last night at 11:30.

I look over, and it's just got
a funky hem on it,

and it doesn't really look
like good draping, unfortunately.

[Sighs]

I do find some relief in seeing
other designers struggling,

because if I'm in the bottom,

maybe somebody else's dress
will tank worse than mine.

[Emilio] I'm a little behind.
I still have to do a zipper,

and that always can be problematic.

I need every second I can get.

Good morning, everyone.

[Designers]
Good morning, Tim.

How are you?

We are stressed for time, Mr. Tim.

[Anthony] Well, Tim, last night,
I didn't get home till 2:35,

and then I was back up at 5:00.

Are you gonna be able to do it?

- You have to do it.
- I have to do it,

but I'm working through it.

All right, designers. You have an hour

to send your models
to the L'Oréal Paris makeup room

and the Garnier hair salon.

Use the Bluefly.com wall
very thoughtfully...

red carpet, Heidi Klum.

Wow the judges.

I mean, I hate to say it,
work like there's no tomorrow,

- because for one of you, there won't be.
- There won't be tomorrow.

That's right.
I'm going to send in your models.

So I want you to put this on
so I can put it on the right height.

And then, while you're
down getting makeup, I'll just... [whoosh]

- [Man] Not so polished?
- Yeah. Not so polished.

It's a smoke-black tight dress
with a little... with studs on it.

And it's gonna work.

Pow!

Should be good to go.

I like the look on her.

It's almost vampire-Iooking.

So we'll see how they react to that.

[Emilio]
What Seth Aaron has selected...

A, it doesn't say Heidi,
and B, it doesn't say red carpet.

Designers, in ten minutes,

you and your models and I
are going down to the runway.

- Thank you, Tim.
- Make it work.

I think Heidi's going to look
amazing in my dress.

It's super sexy,
sophisticated, and modern.

[Jonathan]
Mila's dress fits a little strangely today.

She may have
a little bit of a problem.

Designers and models,
we're going down to the runway.

- Here we go.
- You look beautiful, baby.

This is so different from anything else
I've put down the runway

that maybe the judges will love it

because they hate
what I usually do.

This is it. It's at the end.

There's six of us left,
and I don't want to go home.

I think it's just a matter of taste.

Well done.

Coming up on Project Runway...

I think it is too simple.

There isn't a woman
on the planet who would say

"Oh, I want people to think
I have a fat butt."

We do not have a winner
for this challenge.

- Hello.
- [All] Hi.

Welcome to the runway.
As you know, in fashion,

one day you're in,
and the next day you're out.

And then maybe the next day,
you're in again.

Right, Anthony?

There are six of you here,
and after tonight,

there will be five.

For this challenge,
we asked you to design

a red-carpet look for me.

I'm looking for a design
that I can wear to one of

the many red-carpet events
that I go to.

All right, let's meet the judges.

First, we have top American designer
Michael Kors.

- Hey, guys.
- [Designers] Hi, Michael.

Fashion Director
for marie claire magazine, Nina Garcia.

[Designers]
Hi, Nina.

We have a surprise guest judge today

who has spent a lot of time
on the red carpet.

Internationally known actress
and style icon,

[designers gasp]

Jessica Alba.

- [Jessica] Hi, guys.
- [Designers] Hi.

Hi, I'm Jessica.

Hi. We know.

- Nice to meet you all.
- Nice to meet you, too.

I'm so happy to be here.
I'm so happy to be on the show.

We're happy to have you.

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.

There's something about me

that likes to exaggerate
certain areas of women.

Especially the butt area.

I guess I like big butts.
[Laughing]

I made a really nice dress,

but I think that
it's not as well constructed

as I usually like my things to be.

But the quality of the work is there,

and I think the judges
are going to see that.

The gown is absolutely beautiful.

It moves. It's not stiff.

It's refreshing.

She looks expensive.

She exceeds my expectations
as she walks down the runway.

I love it.
I absolutely love the dress.

One thing I always do

is look at it in awe,

and then look at Heidi's face.

I can tell she's either mesmerized

or she's curious.

I'm very happy.

It's just everything
that I wanted it to be.

Seeing Brandise in my dress

makes me feel

a little bit confident
and a little bit scared at the same time.

The front of the dress
is appearing a little flat,

but when she hits
the end of the runway,

and she shows the judges
her back,

I can see that they're all
a little bit taken

by the detailing there.

This is where I need to be
for this competition...

spectacular, expensive,

put together, polished,

beautifully ex*cuted, knockout,

wow moment, winner.

We're going to talk
to all of you today.

One of you
will be named the winner,

and one of you will be out.

Seth Aaron, tell us about
your red-carpet look.

I went for a more sleek,
sophisticated look.

When I designed this,
I thought who I was designing it for,

but wanted to keep it still me.

I think you worried too much
about you.

I would be more worried
about making something

that would be flattering for Heidi.

This almost looks like if you
were at an awards ceremony,

this would be the girl
who actually came out

and carried the statue when you won,

but this isn't the winner.

I like it. I do. I think it's me.

Maybe I got wrapped up
in who it was for... overwhelmed.

My biggest thing is this is for Heidi

for the red carpet.

It just doesn't really seem
like something that I've seen her in.

I think it has to have
some sort of sex appeal somewhere.

Either it's the cleavage

isn't done in a way that looks glorious,

or I don't know
where the wow effect is.

[No audible dialogue]

Anthony, tell us about your look.

I wanted to create
a beautiful palette

for you to accessorize,

and there isn't a color palette

more sophisticated
than black and white if done properly.

And I most definitely think
that my design today

speaks to my aesthetic.

I love your dress.

Oh, Jesus.

It's very sexy,

but it's not too sexy, it's not vulgar.

It's very elegant.

I love when she was walking
and it flowed.

It's beautiful from all angles.

I love it. I think it's great.

I think you're finally in your zone.

[Nina]
I think it's stunning.

I think you really captured
the glamour of the red carpet.

Heidi would look fantastic in it.

So would Jessica,
so would many other celebrities.

And it's nice
that it's like, you know,

one movie on one side
and another movie on the other side,

depending on how you feel.
[Chuckling]

Mila, tell us about your look.

I wanted to do something
sleek and sexy for you

with some modern lines.

And I thought about jewelry again,

'cause I know how much
you love jewelry

and how many
options you might have.

You know, I like this type of dress,
and I wear them a lot.

I just think it might be a little too wide
in the bust area.

I hate how the cups fit her.

They're spreading out to the side,

and the strap's in the wrong place,

so it's not doing
fabulous things for the chest.

'Cause, quite honestly,

if you wear this dress,
it's about the cleavage.

I think it is too simple.

I feel like it is not a showstopper.

Emilio, tell us about your look.

I designed a very
sophisticated silhouette,

but the fabric
was what inspired me.

It was like liquid gold.
'Cause it's still a metallic,

but we wanted to keep
the fluid lines to it.

It's impeccable.

And her hair is great with it. Great.

It is simple,
but it is sexy at the same time,

and it has an amazing fit.

[Nina] This fabric could've
looked really cheap,

and it looks very expensive.

But very easily, it could've gone
the opposite direction.

[Jessica]
I think it fits like a glove.

The trick that you did
that other designers do as well...

'Cause I've worn these
glittery, strapless dresses.

And it's building

the entire dress underneath is key.

Jay, tell us about your look.

I wanted to design a strapless short dress.

And I had in my mind
I wanted to use color this time,

but not too strong.

And it's a 360 experience
of the same thing

we see as she turns around.

The design of the corset,
I think, is beautiful.

And it is impeccable.
I saw it, like, this close up.

It's just the bottom needs to have

a little different something something.

If you're gonna play
with volume on bottom,

there isn't a woman
on the planet who would say

"Oh, I want people to think
I have a fat butt and big hips."

She just doesn't exist.

Can you turn around?
You have the horizontal pleating,

and then you have the ruffles.

She looks wide. She's tiny.

[Jessica]
My hips are bigger after I gave birth,

but I'm still trying
to disguise it, personally.

I still try to wear things
to keep that to a minimum.

Jonathan, tell us about your look.

I wanted to do something
that was a little easier,

a little sexier,
maybe a little more fun.

I love short, but, boy, is this short.

I think if she even
takes a big enough step,

you might see her butt cheek.

It might be just a little too short.

The back of the dress...
There's something effortless

about the way the back
of that dress is draped.

The front looks like you were like,

"I've got ten minutes left,
and I gotta jam this fabric in here!"

Did you run out of fabric?

I ran out of coral, yes.

This is the third dress.

- You made three?
- Yes.

You made three.

So this is the third version
or the third dress?

The second version of this dress,
the third dress.

So this really was an insane rush

that we're looking at in the front.

It looks it.

The color choice for this dress
makes her look waxy, plasticky.

- And it won't photograph.
- [No audible dialogue]

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 Seth Aaron.

He just went super safe
and quite boring.

No sense of surprise.

You're on the red carpet.
You want some surprise.

It looks like
she was going to a funeral.

You have an insane body.
You should see that.

Let's talk about Anthony.

He was basically let go.

And then we had another designer...
Maya was her name.

It was too much stress for her,
so she left.

The rules are the last person
that was let go comes back.

This is a tough show to be on,

but this is nothing
compared to the real world.

But Anthony... That was quite
a beautiful dress that he made.

Gorgeous. Really chic
and very elegant.

[Nina]
Part of the allure of that dress

- is when you walk, and there's the...
- [Michael] The leg.

- Yes, the leg,
- I like the length.

And the movement to it.

I would wear that dress.

Can I borrow it?

It's really unfortunate with Jonathan.

You know, I don't know
what went wrong here.

The terribly sloppy front,
which I think was so unflattering.

It really did look like
just a dull pillowcase

that you had bunched.

- Waxy. Plasticky.
- Yeah, waxy.

- The color was really strange.
- The color.

It looked very amateur.

Let's talk about Jay.

If the skirt would've been fuller,

in fact, it would've
looked intentional.

Even these ruffles...
they need to go a different way.

Like, they should've just been
going a different way completely,

if he wanted volume in that skirt.

[Heidi] I said I don't want
to look big. I mean, who does?

You don't wanna be
big in the thighs or big on the booty.

Not that you have,
you know, a big butt.

I mean, that's
the last thing you'd want.

Let's talk about Emilio.

He is the only one
who knew to put the right structure

- into the dress.
- Amazing.

Look how perfect that was.

[Nina]
He really worked that fabric

to its best potential.

[Heidi] I like glitter, but it
is the right kind of glitter.

It is not like crazy glitter.

I loved that.

What about Mila?

It looked like something that

the Housewives
of New Jersey would wear.

[Michael]
And the cut was really so unflattering.

Not for red carpet.

It kind of seems more appropriate
for a c*ck...

Go to dinner.

Go to dinner
with your husband, you know.

Mila's talented,
and she has great skills,

but do we want
to see more from her?

Have we 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.

The six of you represent
the best and the worst,

and one of you will be out.

Designers, we do not have
a winner for this challenge.

[Groans]

We have two winners.

Emilio, you are the winner
of this challenge.

Thank you.

I absolutely adored your dress.

It was impeccable.

I really can't wait
to wear it on the red carpet.

Great. I'm looking forward to it.

Jessica, would you like to tell us
who the other winner is?

I would.

Anthony,

you are the other winner.

I would actually like
to wear your dress,

- if, um, that's okay with you.
- [Gasps]

Girl, anytime.

Congratulations.
You can leave the runway.

Thank you again, everyone.
Come out.

Oh. I didn't know if I could leave.

[Emilio]
Four total, three consecutive wins.

This is where I wanted to be
at the end of the competition.

Whoo!

[Anthony]
Never in a million years

did I think that

I would be invited back,
only to win a challenge.

And not just any challenge.

A challenge that will allow my garment
to be featured on Jessica Alba.

Oh, my God.

Wow.

Seth Aaron, you're in.

- You can leave the runway.
- Wow.

Thank you.

Mila,

you're in.

- You can leave the runway.
- Thank you.

Thanks for another chance.

Jay, this was not
a flattering red-carpet dress,

and no woman wants
to look bigger than she is.

And I warned you about that.

Jonathan, though there was
some nice detail in the back,

the front was a mess.

This was another effort
that fell short of your talent.

Jay,

- you're in.
- Thank you.

You can leave the runway.

Which means, Jonathan,
you're out.

Auf Wiedersehen. Good luck.

Thank you.

Thank you all so much.
I appreciate everything.

Good luck.

I wish I could lie

and say that I'm more surprised
that I'm eliminated.

How could I ever compete
with the kind of gown

that Emilio created or Anthony created

with a dress that I made in two hours?

- Ohh!
- [Anthony] Hey, boo!

My roommate.

I'm very excited about where I got
in this competition.

Oh, my God!

This is definitely closing a chapter.

Jonathan, we are going
to miss you so much.

I have to send you to the workroom
to clean up your space.

No problem.

I did it. I came here.
I kicked a little bit of a*s.

Not all bad.

But I'm going home
with my head held high.

Next time on Project Runway...

And then there were five.

This challenge will decide
who goes to Fashion Week.

[Emilio] This is the one
challenge that everyone needs

to put it all out there.

Emilio just had a viewing party.

- Of course he did.
- [Laughing]

[Mila]
The stakes are higher than ever.

[Tim]
You need to turn up the volume.

Any direction I go in, I'm wrong.

- It's our last challenge.
- [Mila] I know.

[Sighs]

I think the pants...
we have crazy crotch.

It is a complete snooze.

[Michael]
She's like a big blue condom.
