Previously on
Project Runway...
For this challenge, you will
need to take these bridesmaids
dresses and create a look that
these women would want to wear.
These dresses are hideous.
Designers, you will be
presenting at the designer
showcase.
This was the dress that she
had before.
Quite a transformation.
That's really nice.
Michael C. Is trying to
sabotage me.
He's been telling people not
to vote for me because I'm
the b*tch of the show.
Never said that.
Really?
Would never, ever do that.
Michael Costello,
we loved your look.
Congratulations, you're the
winner of this challenge.
Oh, yes.
I don't think Michael C.
Deserved to win.
I won.
They loved it.
They really loved it.
I mean, she's got an avocado
goiter.
I just got lost.
I got lost.
I'm sorry, Peach, that means
you're out.
I've had the time of my life.
Where else is a 50-year-old
gonna get another chance?
This is Project Runway.
The winner of Project Runway
will receive $100,000 from
L'Oreal Paris to start their own
line, a fashion spread in
Marie Claire magazine,
a $50,000 technology suite from
HP and Intel to create their
vision and run their business,
and the opportunity to design
and sell an exclusive collection
on piperlime.com.
The model paired with the winner
of Project Runway will receive
a fashion spread in
Marie Claire magazine and
$25,000 from L'Oreal Paris

Having Peach gone, it's sad
because she was my roommate,
Buddy, and my good friend here.
I'm moving into the apartment
with Val, Gretchen, and Ivy,
and it's uncomfortable for me
to move into their room because
I know that people have said
things about me being young
and not being ready to be here.
Yeah, April's coming.
That'll be cool.
I hope we can, like, gel with
her though, you know, 'cause
she's a lot younger than us.
That's the only uncomforting
thing, is the unknown.
But I'm a really strong girl,
and I don't deal with
bull[Bleep], so if I have
a problem, I'll voice it to
them.
So how does it feel like
to win two times?
Oh, great.
That feels fabulous.
I feel like Gretchen.
Just a little better.
Oh, okay.
When I went back to the
designers' lounge and I told
them I won...
I won.
I won, they loved it.
None of them were happy.
None of them were excited.
And this kinda hurt me really,
really bad.
I didn't think that I'd win that
challenge, I really didn't.
There were so many haters
yesterday.
Nobody really cared that I won.
Felt sad.
I'm trying my best to
respect him as a designer,
but I do think he is the weakest
designer here, and I don't think
he has the skill sets to stay
here.
No, but you know what my
struggle is with you with,
like--'cause I still don't know
who you are, and that's just
my honest opinion, is I don't
know your aesthetic completely.
I like evening wear,
and I like doing draping and
pleating and that kind of stuff.
And I've developed my own kinda
sewing technique that works for
me.
Well, I guess it's working.
[Indistinct chatter]
[Knocks]
Entre!
Come in.
Sista!
Hi!
Welcome!
Hey, how's it going?
What's up?
Welcome to our room.
We made you a sign.
Hey.
Oh, wow, you guys are so
welcoming.
Welcome!
Good to have you.
Hello, Gretchen.
How are you?
I think that they're just trying
to put their differences aside
and see how I really am.
Welcome to our home.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
It's nice to have all the
girls together.
Can't believe there's only four
girls left.
What the [Bleep]?
Fab four right here.
Yep.
The only girls.
Yeah.
Go, fab four.
Whoo.
I think having April in the
room is great.
You know, it takes up bathroom
space, but whatever.
Okay, fantastic four.
You've abducted April.
[Laughter]
Hello.
Hi.
All right, it's time for your
next challenge.
Michael, you were the winner
of the last challenge,
so you have immunity and you
cannot be eliminated this week.
Awesome.
Well, for this challenge,
we want you to kick back and
relax and have some fun.
Tim and a very special guest are
going to treat you to brunch.
Meet them at the marina, and
they will fill you in on all of
the details.
Good luck.
And I'll see you all on the
runway.
Cheers.
[Upbeat music]
⪠âª
good morning, designers.
And please welcome a familiar
face.
We are so fortunate to have
Michael Kors with us today to
present a very Michael Kors
challenge.
I was a little bit scared,
because Michael Kors had been so
rude with me in the critiques.
Good morning, designers.
All: Good morning.
I'm sure you're all wondering
y we're standing here at
a boat dock.
Well, today we're gonna talk
out resort wear.
You challenge is to create
a resort wear look that
illustrates your point of view
as a designer.
And your look should be
interesting, eye-catching,
and of course super fashionable.
I come from Palm Springs.
I can do resort wear.
I got this.
The key thing that you need
to remember is that resort wear
can include anything from
swimwear to casual clothes
or even an evening gown.
I love resorts.
I love going on vacation.
I'm actually kind of excited
about this one.
Ha ha, resort wear.
I never go on vacation.
You know what, I wake up late
in my apartment and I walk
around in my underwear and
a t-shirt.
That's resort wear for me.
So whatever.
To get you guys into
a relaxed state of mind,
i'm sending you out on a boat
ride where you're gonna sketch
and have a little brunch.
I'm also giving you sunglasses
from my line.
[Cheering]
Designers, you will have
30 minutes to sketch.
And you will have one day
for this challenge, okay?
Follow me onto the boat.
I know this is gonna be
challenging because Michael Kors
has high standards.
It's gonna be hard to live up
to those.
Have a mimosa
i want to lift a glass to you.
Cheers.
Bites.
Let's pretend like we're
rich.
Yeah.
Have me more fruit.
Cheers to Michael Kors'
sunglasses.
Cheers to--
i think they go with my
outfit.
Designers, I just want you to
know your sketchbooks and your
HP Touchsmart notebooks are
here, and we're gonna begin your
30 minutes of sketching now,
all right?
You know, I don't want to
sketch.
Like, this is amazing.
I'm sitting with Christopher,
and we're just like...
Like, you know, puppy dogs
hanging out a window 'cause
there's the Statue of Liberty
and all these amazing Bridges,
and it's phenomenal.
This challenge is very
Michael Kors
this is not my challenge.
Just trying to get into my
head about resort wear, 'cause
live in Hawaii.
I don't think of it as resort
wear.
I think of it just like any
other day.
Well, then it's just
any-other-day-wear to you.
I'm going the route of
a luxury bathing suit that will
be a one-piece and very sexy.
I'm gonna also do a cover-up,
which is gonna give my client
the option of wearing this
bathing suit all day basically.
Just love what you do,
because I think you like to put
things that are unexpected
together.
Well, I was called out for it
yesterday.
I was called out for a lot
of things that I did.
But would I take it back?
[Bleep] No.
Even if I knew I'd be in the
bottom again, [Bleep] No.
Everything thus far I've done,
i've been like, wow, I really
like that.
I've never done resort wear
before, except for the hat
challenge.
It's just really
unflattering, and I have
a feeling even worse from
the back.
Oh!
No.
I am going to create a sexy,
all-black really risque, like,
she's taking this resort
vacation to this asylum.
It kinda creepy, but I like
the idea of it.
All right, designers, has
this not been fantastic?
Yes.
So let's head off to mood,
everybody.
All righty, let's go.
Follow me.
Rocky as it is.
Those are good.
Designers.
[Laughs]
Designers, you have 30 minutes
and a budget of 50,
and think resort, okay?
Your time star now.
I'm creating a little
bocut bikini with a cute
little windbreaker and a little
visor.
What's the matter?
Well, um, I'm such a dark
signer, and I don't want to,
like, go this route.
This is not a time to betray
what is at your core.
I don't want you standing on the
runway saying, "well, I'm a dark
designer, so I decided to do
something else."
If you're dark, make dark
resort.
Okay.
There are those customers.
I love them too.
I have to stay true to myself,
because I'm not gonna let
anybody crush my vision,
'cause it's a gift.
What I want to do is
a three-dimensional pant.
And in the top, I wanted to do
a print and have a vest that
goes over it that's very
romantic.
Is this where your heart
and stomach are?
Yeah.
Then do it.
Okay.
It's about you.
'Cause you have to stand by it.
Right.
At the end of the turn to buy
the fabric, I just pick a few
fabrics.
Squash is here for the
five-minute call.
All right, designers, you have
five minutes remaining.
If you're not at a cutting
table, may I suggest that you
please get to one.
Hi, squash.
Excuse me.
Anybody?
I need that fuchsia.
Good work.
Designers, time is up.
Are you all ready to head back
to the workroom?
Yes.
Let's go, go, go.
What a day, guys, huh?
[Indistinct chatter]
Designers, may I ask you
to gather 'round, please?
Tim comes in with the bag.
And we all know that when Tim
has the bag, it's trouble.
I knew it.
I hate this bag.
I hate the bag.
I hate this bag.
Every single time when I see
the velvet bag with the golden
rope, I get scared.
I don't like this.
Coming up on
Project Runway...
Each of you will be wearing
two hats.
A lot of the people in the
room don't really like me.
Your construction is awful.
I am pissed.
Designers, may I ask you to
gather 'round, please?
We all know that when Tim has
the bag, it's trouble.
Designers, as I'm certain
you've deduced, there is another
dimension to this challenge.
Great, there's something
else.
I'm putting you into teams
of two.
I knew it.
Because each of you will be
wearing two hats.
One is the hat of the designer.
The other is the hat of
a one-person sample room.
Because you are executing each
other's design work.
Oh, my God.
I cannot believe that we have to
give our designs to someone else
to execute.
It's like handing your child
to somebody else.
Successful designers in the
fashion industry do not make
their own work.
They outsource to sample rooms
and production houses.
And, in a manner of speaking,
that's what you're going to be
doing today.
First we have Valerie.
And, Valerie, you're going to be
teamed with...
Andy.
I was so ready to work on my
piece, and now I have to trust
Valerie to execute my look for
me.
That's really Scary.
Michael C. And...
I hope my name does not come
next.
Everybody in that room is
thinking to themselves,
oh, my God, oh, my God,
I do not want to be on
Michael C.'S team.
I don't want to be his partner.
Mondo.
Oh, yay.
I am so pissed.
I can't even stand it.
I feel like I want to scream.
April and...
Christopher.
Hello.
Thank God he pulls out
Christopher's name,
because me and Christopher work
exactly the same way.
Casanova and...
Gretchen.
I'm a little nervous about
working with Casanova, but I
really enjoy his company.
You already love me.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
So, guess who our last team
is.
It's Ivy a Mel d.
Yes.
I worry Michael d.'S
construction level may not be at
par to my construction level,
but with our personality dynamic
I think things will work out
well.
The designer is responsible
for how the sample maker
executes the work.
What's critically important in
this relationship is
communication.
Any other questions?
Get to work, everybody.
Thank you.
I'll see you later.
[Upbeat music]
⪠âª
on a scale of one to ten,
how confident do you feel about
making pants?
I'm a scale two.
We'll do a skirt.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Hang on.
What I'm happy about is you
know how to pattern draft,
and I know how to pattern draft,
and we know how to sew really
well.
April is a very talented
designer.
She's got tons of ideas in her
head.
And April knows how to drape.
She understands bias,
pattern-making.
I think April and I are gonna do
well as a team.
Well, I'll tell you right
now, I'm not the fastest,
best sewer.
And I don't know if you already
know, but I don't use patterns.
I do all draping stuff.
I know.
Well, let me just say this.
And I'm not real excited about
this, because your construction
is awful.
And the fact is you have
immunity.
I know he don't like me,
but I'm not banking on the
immunity to get me through this
challenge.
I wanna prove that I can do
outstanding work.
[Techno music]
⪠âª
that's gonna be the crotch
part.
This will be the other side of
the v.
I'm worried about val.
I'm not sure she's worked with
swimwear very much.
He was like, "so you do
swimwear, right?"
And I was like, "yeah, totally.
Duh."
How low do you want it, like,
on the butt?
Um, like, low.
You know about grains though
and everything, right?
We'll be fine.
Let's just not worry.
We'll just stay calm.
This is a really difficult
challenge right now because
I'm so used to just doing my
own work.
And so now I've had to, like,
hand over what I do best to Ivy,
and she's handing over her
neurosis to me.
Got a tape measure?
Mondo doesn't like to sketch.
He makes notes.
So my plan is right now just to
go in there, take the direction.
So this is gonna be half an
inch, right?
Half an inch, yeah.
You have to draw your lines.
I can't believe you don't have
a ruler.
What?
I can't believe you don't
have a ruler.
This is flat.
Flat.
So she'll need darts.
Whatever.
What is darts?
Um...
[Indistinct]
Yeah, yes.
Oh, my God, Gretchen,
she was very conscious about
that I cannot speak English
very well.
So she make, like, six or seven
sketches this big.
I have no problem with my eyes.
I can see very well.
Oh, my gosh, she believed that
I'm a ret*rd.
I was thinking about doing,
like, a shawl collar.
Like here's--here's her waist.
I just can't--I'm just trying
to visualize it.
I'll show you.
Okay.
This is nothing personal against
Michael d., but it's
a challenge.
It is.
This is the pant.
And I have to choose between
these three colors to make
the blouse.
This is my favorite.
It's old.
It's the old Lady?
I'm hook with the old ladies.
You love the old ladies.
[Bleep].
Because my grandmother.
I think that's younger.
Casanova's fallen back into his
aged aesthetic, and I think
that aesthetic isn't going to
take him much further.
Do you want me to topstitch
this?
I think it might look kind of
cheese, but--
um, that don't need to be
topstitched.
Michael C.'S fabric choice,
I don't like it at all.
But you know what, I'm not
afraid to just really focus on
working with him to get my
garment done.
All I've done is cut out a pant.
I haven't even started sewing
anything yet, because I have to
be there.
He doesn't have a clear ruler,
nothing.
Although, in the judges'
eyes, Michael C. Is a good
designer, it just makes me
wonder, what is his level?
And when is it going to be
reached?
And when is he going to
exasperate his bag of tricks?
I should win the prize for
this.
Even if I don't win the
challenge, I should win a prize
for this if it gets done.
I'm feeling like [Bleep].
I am actually thinking that I
might want to leave right now,
because I'm feeling like this
is the end for me.
Coming up on
Project Runway...
I'm a little worried for
Casanova.
Why can't the judges see
value in what I do?
My concern is that, like,
it's not gonna lay flat against
her body.
The band will, yeah.
The Twist on this is that we
have to switch our work with
someone.
We're basically having to be
a designer that's watching
a sample maker do our stuff and
execute someone else's look.
Oh, you brought the whole
mannequin.
You're funny--okay, come in.
Well, see, you can see
and get a good idea.
It gets me a little upset
sometimes when people say I
can't sew.
Press it and then pin it
all the way around.
I'm obviously here for
a reason.
Someone thought I can sew.
Perfect.
Looks good.
After a good pressing, yeah.
After working with Michael
costello for a couple hours,
I know that he's a good guy
and that he's willing to learn
and he's willing to grow.
And I was being a d*ck.
Sorry for being such a b*tch,
but--
it's okay.
I have faith in you, okay?
I'm serious, Michael.
With mondo, it's going a lot
better than what I thought it
would be.
How is everyone?
Good, good, good.
I have a very special
surprise.
We have an esteemed guest
conducting the critiques today.
Would you like to meet him?
Yes.
Hi, guys.
Say hello to Michael kors.
Hello.
I very much admire Michael
kors, and to get just a little
face time I think is exciting
for us all.
So I heard you guys got
a little bit of a Twist.
I'm sure it freaked all of you
out, but you always have to be
able to explain what you want
to someone else.
'Cause the chances of you sewing
every sample that you're gonna
make in your career are
impossible.
So I'm interested and excited to
see.
Let's start with Gretchen
and Casanova.
Fantastic.
So tell me what we were thinking
here.
I'm looking for her to make
a simple blouse with palazzo
very tailored pant.
Be careful.
It's not a young pant.
And it's beige, and I love
beige, but you've got to make
sure it still looks a little
youthful.
I'm a little worried for
Casanova.
Traditional couture is for older
clientele.
Unfortunately I don't think
that's what the judges are
looking for.
Great, so now what's going on
over here?
To me, resort is about from
the beach to nighttime.
Right.
This is, like, a super
exaggerated palazzo.
This is a whole lot of
bordeaux.
Maybe you want to Twist the two
colors.
Gretchen's still hook on
the same color palette of the
group challenge.
The color palette was awful.
Be careful that it stays
modern, so, you know, or else
it could look really old.
Tell me what's going on here.
Mondo wanted to have a hooded
batwing jacket with a zipper
going down the front.
Mondo's stuff is just insane.
He's an amazing designer.
Where's the pink ribbon
going?
It's the elastic.
I think you'd better be
really careful--
the styling, I know.
You got a lot of pattern.
You got a lot of color.
It's fun.
I know it's your thing.
Just make her look like
a fabulously sexy girl at the
beach.
I wanted to do this humungous
palazzo pant.
It's low cut, but it's not too
low cut.
You know, it's really not my
style.
This is his design.
But I have to do a good job
at executing his vision because
I am going to be judged for
that.
It's cool fabric.
Do me a favor.
She's glammy-puss over the top.
Keep it simple.
Hey, guys.
Hello.
I wanted to do a long, like,
maxi sundress.
But I also wanted to keep true
to my style.
You've got some really nice
lines here.
I think it's pretty great.
Well, I have a wacky idea.
And I'm not saying it's easy.
[Chuckles]
If you made a brief out of
this.
That's what I have drawn
there.
That's actually what I wanted
to do and keep that sheer.
That's what I would do.
That's what I wanted to do.
Go with your gut.
You gotta go with your gut.
But I got the diaper thing,
so it's like--
no, no, no, no, no.
You do a tailored boy short,
and then you do this, just sheer
floating over it.
That's divine.
Awesome.
Shorts better fit.
I know, and more work.
And no a*s cheek.
I am going to take Michael
kors' advice to go with my
instinct.
And if I go out, at least I go
out doing something that I'm
really excited about.
So now what are we looking
at?
I wanted to do something
that's whimsical that will kind
of flow and just feel like she's
in Los Angeles, she's going out
to dinner.
I don't want it to be too
toga party at all, so we were
gonna try to pull it--
but I actually like the
draping, 'cause I think you've
got something pretty here.
The fabric wants to move.
It does.
You know, when it walks down
the runway, if it has movement,
it just always looks more
dramatic.
All right, we can't wait to see
it.
So let's see.
Ivy, you have all your sketches.
Well, this was my original
sketch, but we had to modify
the pants a little bit.
I'm keeping the top as is.
And I thought a nice circle
skirt might work in the linen,
and lining it with this
georgette.
I don't understand this with
this.
I was originally gonna do the
pants and the georgette,
but I wanted to simplify it,
so I decided to do a skirt to
make life easier.
Ivy's design, I mean, it was
just dumbed down and dumbed down
and dumbed down and boring.
I think that the print on the
blouse looks careerish.
I agree with Michael.
You need to release yourselves
from the print.
It does not take me to
a resort situation.
For Michael kors to come in
and kind of just tell you what
you're not doing right, it's
difficult to hear because we're
at such a vulnerable stage.
You've got to make sure that
you can really get your seams
gorgeous here.
If Ivy can give me a clear
idea of what I need to do,
I can do a good job.
You know, Ivy's a powerhouse,
and she's a bossy Lady.
And good luck, Michael d.
I was just going to have
this silhouette.
And I was going to have it have,
like, a long sleeve attached
to it with sort of, like,
a ruffle.
I think you should be careful
that the arm hole and the back
of it feel sexy enough.
Okay, yeah.
So it doesn't look like she's
just in a black prison matron
sack.
Right.
So all right, well, good
luck, and looking forward to
seeing it.
This is my look that
Valerie's working on, and it's
a one-piece bathing suit.
And then we're using this silver
silk to do a wrap.
A lot of work you have there.
Yeah.
Well, I think I'm gonna make
that first and then--
this is very time-consuming
to get that thing right.
And it's got to be hemmed
beautifully.
Right, doing a baby hem.
We judges are hem-obsessed.
This design is something
that's really relaxed but also
can kind of act as a cover-up.
It's like a little vest.
Right, right.
And then the top is just gonna
be a bandeau, and we're using
this knit for the bandeau.
I don't get that blue--
well, first off, I mean, you
keep going back to colors that,
I mean, quite honestly no one
likes.
I mean, the addiction to this
cadet blue and the bordeaux,
I'm telling you, like, move on.
I've been in the top four
times now, and I've not won yet.
And I just keep wondering why--
like, why can't the judges see
value in what I do?
Designers, I want you to
thank Michael kors for this
extraordinary experience.
Michael, it was wonderful.
Thank you.
See you on the runway.
Work hard, everyone.
So you're wearing my look,
she's wearing your look,
but I'm sewing her look,
and she's sewing my look.
That's a little big.
I suck at sewing what Ivy's
got.
You know, that's clear, and
that's honest.
It just looks way too short.
I feel really terrible.
I can make another one.
I think we might have to.
I'm so frustrated because
I don't even have a garment to
try on the model other than
the shelf for the top.
I'm just telling Michael,
"you know, we just need to have
this finished, and we just don't
have time for this going back
and forth."
Nice.
Yes, good job.
I miss you guys so much, mom.
I came into this competition
extremely uncertain of how I
would perform.
And I started doing really well.
I was really blown away, and I
was really proud of myself.
Well, it's just hard here, you
know, 'cause we're sewing every
day all day, and it's pretty
intense.
And it's just, you know,
sometimes, like, whenever it
gets hard, you just want to,
like, talk to your mom, you
know, or--
if I don't get to fashion week,
I sacrificed so much time
and so many relationships to be
here.
I'm sorry, I just miss you guys
so much.
I wish I could see you right
now.
Why are you crying?
Don't need to be sorry.
No, I just--
we love you.
I love you, mom.
Bye.
Okay, bye.
If I don't get there, I just
feel like everything's gonna
die and I'm gonna let so many
people down.
That's why I need this.
I don't just want it.
I need it.
Coming up on
Project Runway...
This probably makes you
insanely nervous, huh?
If we can just finish.
I could just feel her crazy
energy.
Ooh, let me finish hemming
it.
I'm gonna work my a*s off,
because going home isn't an
option for me.
Are you guys excited for
the runway?
No.
Yes, I'm excited to hear,
"Christopher Collins..."
"Please, step forward.
You may leave the runway."
It was really fun yesterday.
The Twist kind of freaked me
out at first.
But it's interesting because,
like, I'm doing something that
I usually wouldn't do.
"Casanova, please step
forward."
I think everyone in the
workroom had a good
communication with their sample
maker and their designer.
I think so too.
"Michael drummond, please
step forward."
No, they're going to make me
go home.
How 'bout you, Ivy?
Well, it was interesting
working with Michael.
I just feel it was challenging
because a lot of the technical
terms he didn't really know.
I was worried about this day
all last night.
I'm not finished with Ivy's
look.
Ivy's freaking out.
She doesn't trust me.
It makes it harder.
I definitely have a feeling
that I might be on the bottom,
because it's too late to even
think about a new concept and
we only have two hours left,
so I'm going to make sure that
Michael d. Keeps his end of the
deal and finishes my look.
It'd be great not to feel
like you're a complete doo-doo
head.
Okay, let's work on your
stuff.
We got to get some [Bleep]
Done.
It doesn't have to be as
clean in the inside.
You can just cut it to finish
it.
Oh, I look how you did the
hook and eyes there, cute.
'Cause a zipper would be too
heavy.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
This is where we have to
regroup.
We have to really, really play
smart.
I'm not gonna second-guess
myself anymore.
I'm gonna work my a*s off.
Because going home isn't an
option for me.
What are you gonna say on the
runway about this whole process?
I'm gonna say that you knew
exactly how I wanted my garment.
And the construction was not
only magnificent, but the
collaboration was very
acceptable as well.
Michael Costello has caught
me off guard.
I was such a jerk at the
beginning.
But we have two beautiful
garments, and I think we're
ready for the runway.
I'm really not worried at all,
to tell you the truth.
Good morning, everyone.
Morning.
All right, you have two hours
to send your models to the
L'Oreal Paris makeup room and
the garnier hair salon.
Channel Nina Garcia and Michael
kors when you're using the
piperlime accessory wall.
You will have your look back
in your hands ten minutes before
we're going to the runway.
So you can do final tweaking
and work on the look.
But your sample maker owns
the work until that moment.
Okay.
Your models are coming in
shortly, everyone.
Work hard.
Thank you.
Bye, Tim.
Yeah, it pinches a little
bit.
This is the ones, sticky
ones, but I think we'll just
use this one.
That looks great.
Mm-hmm.
Yay.
I took Michael's advice,
and I switched the color,
which was kind of a bit much
since we're kind of halfway
through the first cup.
If it was lower, then this
wouldn't hit her [Indistinct].
Andy's a fast sewer, so I was
really trusting that he would
bang it out.
Should I take in just a
little?
Actually, you can use it
over there.
Yeah, it makes you look
really chic.
I believe that my look on
the runway is going to be
awesome.
"Your construction is flawless.
Your sense of glamour is
amazing.
Blah, blah, blah.
You are out."
And, lenka, I just want you
to have, like, lots of fun,
lots of energy.
Smile.
Really, really playful.
Okay, smiling?
Yeah, yeah, smiling.
Let me zip these shorts up,
and you're gonna walk,
and I'm gonna watch your a*s,
so don't be offended.
I can see your a*s.
No way.
He has to go back and add two
triangle panels to drop the
shorts lower so they would
cover her a*s, literally.
And my a*s.
Ivy, it looks fabulous.
Is that what you were
envisioning?
Mm-hmm.
My look that Ivy's created is
fantastic.
You have 40 minutes.
All right.
I'm a little frustrated,
but I'm just trying to keep it
together.
It has to be on the right side,
'cause right now you have it
coming on the wrong side.
Right, right.
I'm not as good as Ivy,
my process is not as fast,
and I don't have such a huge
resume, but that doesn't mean
that I'm bad.
The seams will go towards
center front.
Oh, really?
Yes.
So, like, that's fine?
Yes.
And then stay stitch it.
Okay.
And then topstitch it.
Stay stitching is when I take
this and stitch it right there,
right?
I'm almost feeling like I'm
turning into my mother.
And you don't want to see
a korean get angry,
let me just tell you, uh-uh.
This probably makes you
insanely nervous, huh?
You just finish.
What'd you say?
If we can just finish.
We can finish.
Yeah.
I could just feel her crazy
energy coming off me.
I would never do that to
someone, even if I was
completely freaked out.
You actually wanna do it on
the other side so it doesn't
catch it underneath it.
Okay.
So do it like this?
Exactly.
Where's my sleeve?
I think we're gonna have to
leave it.
I don't think there's time.
[Sigh]
We need to tan her up.
We wanna to keep her looking
really like she's just come off
the beach.
So really fresh golden tan.
Mm-hmm.
Sounds good.
Cool.
Okay, I'll see you in a bit.
Beautiful!
Can you do, like, a lot of
mascara?
Just to pull out her eyelashes.
[Laughing]
I just wanna keep it
au natural, and play up the
beachy vibe that I'm sending
down the runway.
I basically want her to look
like a really sophisticated
woman on vacation.
I wanna have some volume and
some curl in there like there's
a little bit of salt in there.
I'm gonna have her have an
April sloppy bun.
Just kind of edgy and raw but
still sophisticated.
Do you want, like,
cheerleader ponytail?
Think wet.
You know, like coming out of the
beach, and just, like--
high shine.
Exactly.
Straight.
Yeah, high shine is the exact
word.
Designers, you may now take
possession of the garment you
designed, all right?
And in ten minutes we're going
down to the runway.
Thank you, everyone.
Ivy and Michael...
Hi.
You may now take possession
of the garment you designed.
Bye.
Can you bring my skirt--
I'm getting it.
Thank you.
I was really happy to get out
of that chair.
It was, like, a unanimous, like
whooh!
I need the skirt, I need the
skirt.
Thank you.
I know we have ten minutes left
before the runway, so I'm trying
to scramble as quickly as I can
to get the straps on the top
so the model is not busting out
of them.
Sorry.
That's okay.
You need some thread threaded
for you on a needle?
Yes, please.
Donna?
Can you take your pants off, put
your shoes on, and be ready when
I have to dress you?
Thank you.
Don't worry about your hair.
I'd rather you french braid.
[Bleep].
Designers and models, we're
going down to the runway.
Follow me, please.
My piece looks fabulous,
Ivy's design looks like [Bleep].
And I feel awful.
April and Christopher.
Ivy...
Coming!
Andy...
Valerie...
We've gotta go, go, go, go.
Is that it?
Yes.
Coming up on
Project Runway...
This was very disappointing.
There is nothing cool about this
outfit.
You still threw him under
the bus.
Hello.
All: Hi.
Welcome to the runway.
As you know in fashion, one day
you're in and the next day
you're out.
There are ten of you here.
And after tonight, there will
be nine.
Michael Costello, you were the
winner of the last challenge.
Which means that you have
immunity and cannot be
eliminated.
For this challenge, our very own
Michael kors asked you to
create a resort look that wows
us your point of view as a
designer.
And then we gave you a little
Twist.
We paired you up and asked you
to instruct a fellow designer
on how to execute your look.
The designer who created the
concept will be judged and
responsible for their own
design.
All right, let's meet the
judges.
First, we have CFDA lifetime
achievement award-winner,
Michael kors.
Hey, guys.
Hi.
Fashion director for marie
claire magazine, Nina Garcia.
Hi, everyone.
All: Hi.
And stylish American actress,
starring in the upcoming movie
you again, kristen Bell.
Hello.
All: Hi.
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.
Okay, let's start the show.
When I see my look walking
down the runway, the lights are
picking up the metallics in the
jumpsuit.
It looks shimmery.
I am feeling very confident
right now.
I'm excited because, you
know, it's cheerful and fun.
It's sunny.
The only thing is that lenka
isn't bringing the bubbly
spirit I'm trying to show to
the judges.
My design looks amazing.
It's beautiful, and it's chic,
and really sexy, and glamorous.
Ivy ex*cuted my piece really,
really well.
And I think I have a chance at
being in the top three.
I don't think it looks that
great.
I'm thinking that I basically
screwed myself on this
challenge, because it's just
horrid.
I know it's not all my fault,
but Ivy's unhappy with it.
And it looks boring and bland.
She kinda looks like the statue
of liberty.
My look on the runway is very
soft.
The drape is very nice.
It's beautiful.
When I see my look come down
the runway, I'm really excited.
She looks so sexual.
It looks like this dark,
romantic vision that I had.
This remote island that was this
crazy-a*s asylum.
I love it.
It's perfect.
Good job on the execution,
my friend.
I'm so happy with my look.
I feel, like, more comfortable
than before.
I'm going to be okay.
I just think Heidi would love
my look.
But everything here is, like,
unpredictable.
I think it has richness, and
luxury, and the essence of
resort.
And I think Michael kors would
like it.
So we'll see.
I'm really happy with my
look.
But just, like, little things I
notice on the runway that I
wasn't thrilled with.
I noticed some of the panels are
kind of popping out, and it
wasn't how I would do things.
Damn, that's coming out a little
bit.
My design looks really great.
She is this glamorous,
sophisticated woman on vacation.
If I call your name, please
step forward.
Andy.
Casanova.
Mondo, please step forward.
April
Ivy.
Michael drummond.
If I have not called your name,
congratulations.
Your scores have qualified you
to move on to the next
challenge.
You can leave the runway.
The remaining designers have the
highest and the lowest scores.
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.
Andy, April, Michael, you three
have the highest scores.
Mondo, Casanova, Ivy, the three
of you have the lowest scores.
We're gonna talk to the
designers with the highest
scores first.
The lowest scores can leave the
runway.
I don't wanna go home, I know
that for sure.
But my resort time is me in my
living room in my underwear and
a t-shirt.
Well, you kicked it up a
notch from that.
Okay, let's bring out your
models and your tailors.
So it's you, you, and who's
the third?
Ivy.
And Ivy and I, this is the
third time we are in the bottom.
Right.
But who's in the top?
It's--
April...
Michael...
Michael d's in the top?
Michael d.
Is he?
And, um...
Oh, no.
There's gonna be some drama.
April, tell us about your
look?
I kind of wanted this dark
inspiration, because that's kind
of my aesthetic.
So I looked to the idea of her
being, like, captured.
And this is where I got the idea
of the intricate top.
And Christopher did an excellent
job, so it worked out really
well.
I think April, this very much
to me looks like you.
So I think it's really well
done.
I think the work that went into
the top, which I saw in the
workroom, was brilliantly
finished.
It's this tough, punk,
baby doll.
Which is kind of a cool thing.
I love it too.
I think that she looks super
hot, super sexy, but not vulgar.
Because you put, like, a real
big panty under it.
They are shorts.
Not, like, underwear, it's
shorts.
Let's have a look.
The top follows the short,
it's like function follows form.
That's why they fit so
nicely.
You think it's not noticeable,
but it is.
Kristen, what do you think?
I love, love this dress.
This is definitely something
that I would wear.
And I often describe myself as a
super punky edgy baby doll, as
you have said.
So this is right up my alley.
And I would wear it on the red
carpet.
Wow, thank you.
I think this looks stunning.
I mean, from head to toe.
It has movement, it is sheer,
it's got something going on in
the top.
It's fantastic.
Thank you.
Andy...
Tell us about your look.
I wanted something that was
versatile.
Living in Hawaii, I know a lot
of women who just live in
bikini's and cover-ups.
But I wanted to do something
more sophisticated, edgy.
So I did a one-piece bathing
suit that has this wrap that
actually can tie up here for
more coverage, or tie at the hip
for less coverage, depending on
where she's going.
And Valerie did an excellent
job executing it.
She had to do a swimsuit and
work with a fine silk-chiffon.
I think that it's very
commercial.
I can see tons of hot women
wanting to wear this on a boat
somewhere, cruising from place
to place.
I like it a lot.
I think it looks very
sophisticated.
I think the choice of fabric was
spot-on.
And it looks expensive.
I think it is really
beautifully done.
It's exciting, it's glamorous.
I mean, it's really an easy suit
for a lot of women to wear.
And that's actually the
reason I like it the most.
Because I don't think you have
to sacrifice beauty for
simplicity.
Whether you're a size 12 or a
size 2.
Thank you.
Michael.
So I made a simple
silhouette.
I went with this linen because I
thought it looked really
beautiful and expensive.
Ivy is an exceptional craftsman.
I think she did a fabulous,
fabulous job.
I was very lucky to have her.
Ivy, how was it working with
Michael?
It was just...A bit of a
challenge just because I don't
think Michael really knows how
garments go on and off.
So that was--I felt like in that
aspect I did help him.
What do you think about that,
Michael?
I think that that's actually
true.
We don't speak the same jargon.
Mm-hmm.
Ivy is very technical.
She went to parsons, I'm
self-taught.
I think it was difficult for
Ivy.
Well, it sounds like the
back story maybe was a little
complicated.
A little oil and water here.
But what we're talking about
today is the end result.
Mm-hmm.
And the end result is a
really fabulous-looking garment.
Oh, totally, I agree.
It works in every regard.
I love the black chain detail,
how it worked out, can I see
the back for a sec?
It's legitimately what you'd
wanna wear in the tropics.
The more I look at it, I'm
really falling in love with it.
I think that it's very, very
effortless.
It could work for women of
many ages.
It's just really, really
beautiful.
Thank you.
We've heard what you had to
say.
You can leave the runway.
Dude, that was tough, man.
Who's down there?
It's Ivy, Casanova...
Ivy, Casanova, and mondo.
Oh, mondo.
I didn't think they were
gonna like his because it's
very junior.
I'm really nervous for Ivy,
because she's gonna be at the
bottom because her partner's
skills were lacking.
I think it's gonna be between
Casanova and...
Both: And Ivy.
Mondo.
Hi.
Tell us about your look.
Well, when Michael approached
us with this challenge, honestly
I almost peed my trunks, because
I've never been to a resort in
my life.
I don't even know what resort
wear is.
So I like to play with color, so
that's just what I did.
This was very disappointing,
mondo.
It looks very inexpensive, and
it looks very junior.
Okay.
The whole--I--well, I don't
know what resort is because I've
never been to a resort and so
this is what I'm presenting--I
think that's a cop out.
Every designer, regardless of
your aesthetic, does a resort
collection.
Okay.
Doesn't matter who you are.
I would've liked to have seen
a little bit more of an idea for
an adult.
I'm just a tiny bit confused.
It just looks like a weird
assemblage of clothes from
forever 21 that were on the sale
rack.
Michael, how was it working
with mondo?
Him and I were not really
friends in the beginning.
But working with him, I've never
had more of an amazing time in
my life.
I have to say this was the
funnest challenge for me.
He gave the most amazing
direction.
And I think he collaborated with
me on a professional level as a
sample-maker amazingly.
And I'm really proud of him.
I'm proud of our energy
together.
And I learned so much about
myself, helping Michael through
this process, you know.
I mean, we're on the chopping
block and this is the result,
but...
Oh, well.
Ivy, tell us about your look.
The color palette that I
chose was something reminiscent
of the ocean.
It would have the movement of
the ocean.
But when I found out that I was
working with Michael, with his
limitations of skill, I had to
edit down a lot.
Because he had mentioned that he
didn't know how to execute a
pant.
So I think I changed my skirt
design probably about two times
because I was worried that he
wasn't going to be able to
finish in time.
Michael, how do you feel
about that?
I didn't say I can't execute
a pant, I just said that I'm
uncomfortable executing a pant
in this amount of time.
I've made pants, and they fit
really well.
I can sew.
These fabrics were difficult for
me, and I did my best.
She probably had seven
different fabrics.
I had four.
But by buying all of those
fabrics, and in some instances
buying so little of them, you
can't really do much with them.
Well, the silhouettes that I
had in mind, I could have.
I don't know.
All I can tell you is the top
and the whole outfit just has no
personality.
I agree.
It's a yawn.
It is.
What keeps coming up is that
you're very good technically.
But I question if you have the
ideas to really be a designer.
Be a good designer.
I'm just very disappointed
that I wasn't able to execute
my look for you.
Michael, I probably saw you
roll your eyes ten times while
Ivy was speaking.
Working with her on a
previous challenge, I was
terrified.
I don't know if Michael was in
the same category as I, but--
then you shouldn't roll your
eyes.
I'm just saying that...
I just see your eyes rolling.
You can be pretty bossy,
that's all.
Ivy, as trained as you are,
you have to be the type of
person that can look at
Michael's strengths and say,
"okay, how can we best win
together?"
In our defense, I have to say
we did do that to see where
Michael's strengths were.
But now, with all this
explanation why your outfit
looks the way it looks, you
still threw him under the bus.
Well, I'm here for the
competition and I need to defend
my look, so this is what I'm
doing.
I don't think that's throwing
him under the bus, I think--
totally!
Okay.
Well, that's your opinion, but--
is that not throwing him
under the bus?
Does sound a little bit like
she's throwing him under the
bus.
Like, your outfit is not
good because he couldn't sew it.
So that to me is throwing him
under the bus.
All right.
And you right with him.
Casanova, tell us about your
look.
I have to say that I really
love my look.
Not intentional, unintentional--
I don't know if this word is
correct.
Unintentional.
Unintentional.
I'm making stuff connected to
my grandmother.
I've been in resorts hundreds
of times...
[Clap]
More than welcome the critiques.
So...
It's a little bit
unfortunate, this look.
Especially when you start
talking about your grandmother,
and you designed with your
grandmother in mind.
This does not really read
vacation to me.
I think if the challenge was
to make something for a
a mall and getting back to the
house early so she can watch
television, you've succeeded.
But the reality is it's a runway
show.
So the fantasy needs to be
there.
I'm generally attracted to
neutrals, and there is something
about this that doesn't have
enough for me to want to love.
It might not have worked this
time.
There is nothing cool about
this outfit.
It is so mumsy.
Here's what I don't understand,
I've seen extremely sexy from
you.
Maybe too sexy.
And then this extremely matronly
from you.
It's either she's almost naked
or she looks like she's 70 years
old.
Where is the middle ground here?
I got it.
Okay, we've heard what you
had to say.
We're gonna have a little chat,
and then I call you back out.
You can leave the runway.
Thank you.
Hey, guys.
Hi.
Hey.
What'd they say about you
guys?
They attacked me about the
old-fashioned Lady.
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.
No, I think it's me.
Because, well, they said, "well,
we've heard that you're a really
great sewer, but we wonder if
you're a great designer."
No, I was--I was trying to give
them a perspective of--no--how
it was going.
And it came across as I was
throwing him under the bus,
and you know, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
That was the most poorly-sewn
garment I've done since I've
been here.
And I really think in hindsight
it's because she didn't trust
me.
Let's talk about the
designers that we did like.
Let's talk about Andy.
He managed to have something
that was dramatic and very him.
It was very wearable, it was
saleable.
And the other thing, he made
a bathing suit.
And a very good-looking bathing
suit.
Let's talk about Michael
drummond.
It's definitely something
someone would wanna wear in a
resort.
This idea of all these cutouts,
and the interesting neckline and
the straps.
Also, he left her clean, and
polished, and pulled-together.
I think that he really did
have a clear, concise idea.
He managed to explain to her
what he wanted.
Because he ended up with a great
garment.
Okay, let's talk about April.
I love this dress.
She managed to give us this,
kind of, punky baby doll that I
think was very her but still
playful.
I thought it was very
editorial, very cool.
It's also wearable.
Yeah.
Which is the best of both
worlds.
Let's talk about the designs
that we didn't like so much.
Let's start with mondo.
These are just random,
colorful clothes.
Yes.
There's nothing unusual.
You can find them in K-mart.
There's an idea to be
respected about it...
You know.
That's colorful and fun.
Because, think about it,
let's say you had to sh**t an
editorial...
No!
I don't think so, Heidi.
I don't think I could get away
with it.
Not even.
This is for leny!
He is your daughter's personal
couturier.
Ivy, too, I think that's
awful what she's made.
It's no design there, it's--
nothing.
Nothing.
If she is such a good
designer, I can't imagine what
she could've come up with to
salvage this blandness.
Also, I mean, talking about
Michael.
She really threw him under--
she threw him under the bus!
Completely.
I'm suspicious.
She's a seamstress, that's
what she is.
Yes, but she can't design.
Let's talk about Casanova.
He is very confused.
She's a hooker or a
grandmother.
Yes.
Going up a wheelchair ramp.
Nothing cool or modern.
There's nothing cool about
this.
No, nothing.
So we've made our decision?
Mm-hmm.
Let's bring them back out.
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.
⪠âª
one of you will be named the
winner...
And one of you will be out.
Michael.
You're in, you can leave
the runway.
Hi.
Hi.
Hey.
I've never in all my life
been so glad that I didn't win
the challenge, that's all I have
to say.
Why?
Why, would you feel guilty
if you did?
What would you feel like?
Yeah.
A lunatic, right?
I would feel guilty too.
I was on the chopping block
with Ivy, and she was throwing
me under the bus, and I could've
easily thrown her back under the
bus but I believe in myself,
and I'm not going to retaliate
because it's childish.
April, we love your look.
Your resort look fit your
aesthetic perfectly.
And more importantly, it was
exciting fashion.
Andy.
Your bathing suit and cover-up
were both beautiful.
It was versatile, effortless,
and well-made.
The look was dramatic, but it
was still very wearable.
April...
Congratulations, you are the
winner of this challenge.
Are you serious?
Serious.
Wow.
Thank you so much.
It's nice to see you so
excited.
Nice to see a smile on your
face.
It's really nice to win,
thank you.
Congratulations, you can
leave the runway.
Thank you.
So I won the challenge.
[Cheers and applause]
I kinda got used to just being
safe and [Bleep], but I mean it
was really cool.
I mean, I worked really hard.
Congratulations.
Good job, man, for your help.
You're the one who won that.
You won it.
[Sigh]
I have a lot of crazy, crazy
ideas.
And I have a lot of potential,
and I think that they maybe saw
that, and it makes me feel
really good.
Heidi was like, "you should
probably be happy about this."
And I was just standing there
like, "is this for real?"
She's like, "yeah, it's for
real."
I was just like, "oh, okay.
Wow."
Andy.
Good job, you're in.
You can leave the runway.
Thank you.
Mondo...
You're in, you can leave
the runway.
Thank you.
Yes, I'm still in the game.
[Cheers and applause]
Ivy, Casanova...
One of you will be out.
Ivy...
We heard a lot of excuses and
blame from you today.
You were the one responsible
for your unfortunate fabric
choices and dumbing down your
design.
That's on you.
Casanova...
Your look could not have been
further from resort.
It was matronly, it lacked any
sense of sexiness, you were
inspired by your grandmother,
and it showed.
Ivy...
You're in.
Thank you.
But we encourage you to wow
us next time.
Absolutely.
You can leave the runway.
Thank you.
Oh, hi.
Oh, I'm safe.
[Gasps] Really?
Yeah.
Thank God.
I don't wanna be responsible for
someone going home.
Seriously?
You need to stop doing this, I
swear, because I'm having
a heart attack.
You?
Me!
Don't worry.
Oh, stop.
God.
I love you.
Casanova.
[Chuckles]
I'm sorry, that means you're
out.
Auf weidersehen.
Ciao.
[Gasps]
[Giggles]
Casanova.
What's he do--
[all laughing]
Sad?
Zero.
Disappointed?
Maybe a quart.
Bye.
It's gonna be weird without
having Casanova here being like,
"designers on deck."
And calling me paulina, and...
You're leaving your paulina.
[Laughing]
You've made it fun.
Oh, yes.
I was so nervous, thinking of
New York.
Take me, or I take New York from
the ba*ls.
Do I see a big old question mark
over your head?
Yes.
Did you understand the
question?
No.
I'm making clothes for old
ladies, sluts, flamenco dancer--
no, you're not.
And I'm even getting fat!
Maybe I've just been so
sensitive.
Oh!
Thank you.
[Laughing]
I know how to make it works.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Casanova's a great guy.
And he's definitely the
personality of the bunch.
'Cause he was just so carefree
and so lighthearted.
I really am gonna miss him.
Exactly!
Aw!
Casanova...
What are we gonna do without
you?
I live very close from here.
[All laughing]
So I have to send you to the
work room to clean up your
space.
We're gonna miss you.
Mm!
Casanova.
Bye.
[Speaking alternate language]
Oh, you've been so much fun.
Maybe I will have another
opportunity.
Because in life, everything is
about opportunities.
Right now, I have to say that I
grab one ball of New York, and
New York grabbed one of mine.
Next time on
Project Runway...
I am honored to be standing
in front of photographs of
jacqueline Kennedy.
Jackie wouldn't wear goth,
you know what I mean?
Jackie would not wear goth,
you are right.
Jacqueline Kennedy was a
fashion risk-taker.
and so it's gonna be a statement
piece.
Mondo, I don't wanna Rob you
of who you are, but, boy, I
question that.
Jackie Kennedy would not have
camel toe.
That you would think that
that's American sportswear, I
think it's insulting.
It looks a bit sloppy.
I feel like I'm on a
different planet.
This is a train wreck.
