For your next challenge, image
is everything.
♪ Ooh ♪
I'm thrilled to introduce
the Sheepdogs.
Oh, crap, it's menswear.
Maybe something like this
kinda color.
I actually just bought this
fabric.
We have an opposing team
member loaning to you?
She was very nice.
You doing the fringe?
Yeah.
I started making my jacket with
the fringe, and Josh started
making his vest after that.
I don't think nobody should be
copying.
I don't know.
This isn't the way a man's
pants should fit.
♪ Never had I heard ♪
Yeah!
♪ Almost every word ♪
I think he looks like
Pocahontas.
You know people always say
mom jeans.
They look like dad jeans.
He looks like Peter Brady
at an autumn harvest.
There is nothing cool about
this.
Viktor, you are the winner
of this challenge.
Yea!

Kimberly, you're in.

Project Runway 9x10
Sew 70's
Original Air Date on September 29, 2011
Oh!
That was a long, intense day.
I don't like being in the
bottom.
Oh, my goodness.
I have never been in the bottom
like that.
This last challenge was really
tough for me.
I've never done menswear.
It was close.
It was close.
It was really close, yeah.
Today, I have messed up
completely.
There's no room for mistakes.
Congratulations on the win
again.
I am so excited.
I mean, winning twice.
The game is on, b*tches.
It's very funny when people
go, "I've never done menswear
so I don't understand it."
Clothing is clothing.
And as this competition gets
bigger, you know, if there's
excuses being made--
Heidi and Michael, what they
do is to push you.
Right.
I do believe that it is gonna
get harder, but I'm not worried
about the challenges.
I'm worried about the people
getting nasty, you know.
The tiger will come out.
[Meow]
They definitely keep you on
your toes, for damn sure.
Hello.
All: Hello.
Welcome to the runway.
All: Thank you.
At this point, we're down to
seven designers, and the
competition is just getting
harder.
Are any of you surprised that
you're still here?
All: No.
Maybe a little.
Confidence--it's always good
to have a lot of confidence.
I'm confident, but I'm still
surprised.
Everybody at this point knows
how to construct clothing.
So now it's about having good
Mood trips and it's about having
a good taste level.
For your next challenge,
you need to look to the past
to find your inspiration.
Tim and a guest are waiting
for you in the workroom to fill
you in on all of the details.
Good luck and I'll see you back
here on the runway.
Bye, everybody.
All: Bye.
I wonder, wonder, wonder.
Good morning, designers.
All: Good morning.
I am delighted to introduce
you to Heather Archibald,
head apparel buyer for
Piperlime.
That's awesome.
For this challenge, the
winning design will be put in
production and sold on
Piperlime.com.
That's huge.
Your own design online.
It's really a massive prize.
One thing we know about our
Piperlime customer is that she
loves trends.
So one of the trends that we're
totally obsessed with this
fall--who isn't--is the revival
of the sophisticated '70s.
Holy crap.
We just had a similar '70s
challenge, and it was a total
disaster.
Some of the iconic pieces
from that era that we love are
like big booming, wide-leg
trousers and little, silky,
you know, tie-front blouses.
A color palette that is
earthy.
Burgundies and browns and
mustards.
The polyester maxi dresses
and plaid--lots of plaid.
I'm picturing this empowered,
confident, sophisticated woman
like strong and feminine.
To help you, there is
a dossier of fashion from
the '70s on your HP Touchsmart
desktop.
For this look, you will be
creating sophisticated '70s
inspired--not vintage,
not retro.
We all know what happened with
the last challenge.
Too literal.
I really feel like it's
a second change for me to show
the judges that I can do
the sophisticated '70s and not
the Pocahontas version of it.
Are there any questions?
Your response to like prints
and scale.
Prints are incredible strong
for us.
I'd say a larger scale resonates
better with the two-dimensional
experience of online.
So you will have 30 minutes
to sketch, then we're going to
Mood, where you will have a
budget of $100.
So show the judges that you know
how to do this.
You're the creme de la creme,
everyone.
Thank you.
Okay, good luck.
Thanks, everyone.
These aren't gonna fit my
girl anyway, but it's
inspiration.
My look's gonna be really '70s
blast from the past.
Billowy top with the long dirndl
skirt, which is the only skirt
women wore in the '70s.
And I'm opening it up in the
front, and the newness is gonna
have this little hot pant
underneath it.
I don't know an insane
amount about the '70s.
I never lived in that time,
so I'm really grasping for
design ideas.
My inspiration is my mom.
I have a picture of her from
the '70s, and she was
a secretary back then.
So I'm doing a sexy secretary
kind of look.
I was thinking of making
a really cool, fitted, tailored
jacket.
A little bit of like yves
Saint Laurent safari type of
thing.
I just kinda make it a little
bit more modern.
I'm really inspired by what
someone would wear in the '70s
to holiday in Jamaica.
It's super sexy.
There this ease to it.
That's exactly the kind of
feeling that I want to capture.
Show me what you have.
Okay.
Um, so I'm gonna have a huge
slit in the front.
So my '70s-inspired look is
going to be a maxi skirt with
a very fitted top.
I am a '70s glam kind of girl.
A lot of different things that
I wear is '70s.
Ow.
So this is totally me.
$100 is really not much.
Right?
It's gonna be tight.
Gimme more money!
I love to do separates.
I like to mix prints.
I love the layering look.
And I really am happy about
this challenge because I feel
like I can really show who I am
in a bigger way.
No one's paying any attention
to me.
Oh, yes!
Hi, Tim!
All right, designers, we're
ready to go off to Mood, aren't
we?
Excited?
All: Yeah.
I am too.
All right, designers, you have
your $100 budget.
You have 30 minutes to shop
and your time starts now.
Thank you.
My plan going into Mood is
to get a print.
A really colorful chiffon
print.
Aztec, geometric.
A print that embodied the
'70s, but didn't read '70s.
That's not really a print.
It's a plaid.
I like this one too.
No.
Okay, I'm gonna take this
one.
That's cool.
A lot of people are doing
those kind of muted, earthy
tones, and I found this Jersey
knit that is really vibrant,
but it still has the '70s feel.
Ten minutes, everybody.
This is too geometric.
I haven't really seen it yet.
When working with prints, you
just see it.
I pick up this one fabric, and
I'm like...
I want this instead of this.
Thank God, you know?
It's right there.
Yeah. One panel.
I'm happy.
Mood, it's as rushed as
always.
Same price?
And because I have no pockets,
I have my money in my top.
Are you gonna run downstairs?
Somewhere in between the
silk jersey...
And silk was downstairs.
And going to the linens...
[Bleep].
That's where my money
disappears.
Have you seen an envelope on the
ground somewhere?
I'll be right back.
I lost my money.
You lost your money?
Yeah.
Oh, Anya.
Designers, you have five minutes
remaining.
Has anybody seen an envelope
on the ground.
[Bleep].
Where did it go?
Even though I have scoured the
entire Mood where I know I was,
I cannot find my money anywhere.
Josh, did you see an envelope
anywhere?
Um, you lost your envelope?
Yeah.
What does it look like?
It's like in a manila
envelope, you know like those
tiny ones.
All the Mood employees are
starting to get frantic for me.
She dropped--lost her money.
Can you help her look for an
envelope that looks like this?
I'm in a mess without this
money.
Two minutes, everyone.
It's just a disaster.
All right, everyone.
Time is up.
[Sigh]
They're gonna let her check
out, right?
They--I mean--
I don't know.
At the beginning, they were
like if you lose your money,
that's it.
Anya?
Yes?
You can ask your other--
your fellow designers whether
they any leftover and whether
they'll give it to you.
Okay.
You can use muslin back at
the workroom.
But...That's it.
My heart drops.
I don't see how it's possible
I'm surviving this challenge
with those as my only options.
Coming up on Project
Runway...
How much money do you have?
11.
$11?
This is a competition, and
I wish I could help her,
but I can't.
It's so bad.
You're certain it's not in
your clothing.
Yeah, I mean, I--
You lost your money?
Yeah.
So...
Oh, God.
Find out who, if anyone, has
change leftover.
Okay.
And get what you can get.
Okay.
And use muslin
okay.
Okay?
Has everybody paid already?
I have like nine cents.
Okay.
Yeah, it's $100 budget.
Everyone's spent it.
Which is what you're supposed
to do.
Everyone else has paid except
Anthony Ryan.
I'm watching Anthony to see if
he has any change because this
is my last hope.
Here, I have this.
Okay.
You can get something.
Thanks.
How much money do you have?
11.
$11?
Whatever amount of this I can
get.
I pulled one piece of fabric,
then I throw in a zipper and
some buttons and that's what
I get.
You know what's ironic?
How incredibly generous you were
with everyone during the last
challenge.
Yeah.
You were giving away fabric
like you were making it.
I know, it felt like I'm mini
Mood.
You were a mini Mood.
Well, good karma's gonna come
back to you.
We're gonna do the same thing.
Anything we have.
Thanks, guys.
I'm sorry, I'm just upset.
Of course.
It's only natural.
This is another Project Runway
first.
This never happened.
It is.
I would be the first, and I
thought Bert would be, but--
I'm in a complete mess.
What the hell am I gonna do?
We'll make it work, right?
All: Yes.
Thank you, Mood!
All: Thank you, Mood!
Bye.
I have these two whites and
I'm not gonna use all of them,
but one's a cotton sateen
and this is another type of
cotton.
I'm not using this.
I don't know if it means
anything to you.
I know I'll definitely have
extra.
We could dye this.
This is all black, but this is
four yards.
My fellow designers are
definitely helping Anya.
They're offering scraps of
fabric.
Thanks.
This is sweet.
But this is a competition
and I wish I could help her,
but...I can't.
You did get something, Anya,
right?
Yeah, you did get something.
Yeah, I got this.
Thanks to Anthony Ryan.
Amazing.
Hi, everybody.
Anya's in the middle of a
"make it work" moment.
And I'm very moved by the
support you all are giving her.
They've been extremely sweet.
Just a couple of words about
this challenge.
Inspired by the sophisticated
'70s, but it's 2011, 2012.
This is Runway, so you need
wow and pizzazz.
At the same time, this needs
to go into production.
You have until 10:00 tonight,
and you have tomorrow, all
right?
All right, thank you.
You know you're good and I
feel like this is something
where you can do something
great.
[Sniffles]
It's a challenge where they
wanna see something dynamic
and fashion-forward.
Muslin is not any of those
things.
It's like cornflakes.
It tastes bland and really to
make it work takes magic.
So in this moment, like, I can't
imagine where that magic dust
is coming from.
Oh, my goodness.
How insane are these?
Bert, are these
'70s-inspired?
What am I like the history buff
all of a sudden?
Yes.
The History Channel.
These definitely are.
Yeah, those are.
I think I have a small advantage
over some of the other
designers.
Not so much because I lived this
time, but because of my
experience.
I have done this sort of
marketing before.
It was for a Halston catalog.
These?
Yeah, 'cause that's very
Rudolph Nureyev.
You all do know who Rudolph
Nureyev was.
Of course.
Look at those sequins.
You're going for it there.
I've got an idea.
The look I've chosen--it's a lot
of color.
When you're doing this type of
merchandise, you need to design
something that really catches
the consumer's eye.
It's gotta have something that
pops.
Tim's gonna say, "Bert, I said
'sophisticated.'"
That's the right size.
From Woodstock to the hippie
movement, there's just a really
type of ease from the '70s,
which is what I really like.
What were the armholes like?
I don't wanna get too easy,
'cause I really need to make it
modern in my own way.
What kind of top are you
doing?
Some type of blazer.
Oh, you are gonna do
a blazer.
Yeah.
I'm a little nervous because
the '70s that I'm familiar with
is definitely the glam, disco
'70s.
This color--like I love this.
And I could definitely go there
very easily, but I think the
challenge for me is to create
something marketable and can be
sold on Piperlime.
I'm lost right now.
Love it.
I really--I think I'm gonna
really want this outfit.
I am really excited about this
challenge.
I wear vintage all the time.
I'm wearing vintage right now.
I'm just gonna tell Meghan she
doesn't need to come.
I'm just gonna fit it to myself.
I didn't even see your fabrics.
What'd you get?
Oh, these?
Oh, love.
Oh, it's an hombre.
Uh-huh.
Josh--I can't trust him.
I think he's kinda squeezing
everybody else's ideas into his
work.
That will make a really hot
tank top.
I don't wanna be a part of
helping him anymore.
You know, I'm not driving you
no more, Miss Daisy.
You do it.
I know that the muslin is
the first step to figure out
"okay, can I actually make this
fabric work?"
'Cause if I can't, then I'm
in a mess.
So I know the only way to do
that is to use dye.
So I begin doing all these
different techniques, which I
don't even know what I'm doing.
How's it coming?
The last batch was like so...
Like, insipid.
You know?
So it's a little bit too
chocolate here, but I think
that's more what I want.
More what you want?
Yeah.
Anthony Ryan--I do not get
his fabric choices at all.
It looks like something from
the late '80s.
They're all going to the mall
or going to bury something in
the woods.
Do you like the print?
The print's a little clashy.
Really?
Using prints is always a risk.
People could love a print,
somebody could hate a print.
There could be memory tied with
a print that reminds them of
this or that, you know?
Print are so subjective.
Think about this like skin-tight
on my girl with her boobies.
Uh, I don't wanna picture
the boobies, but--
Yea-ah.
[Whispering] What is Kim doing?
[Whispering] Oh, my God.
Those are from JC Penney.
The fabric that Kim has chosen
for this challenge is not
current.
There's nothing that's really
popping about it.
Should we talk to her?
I don't think you should.
We made a pact.
I don't care if you're
friends.
We made a pact.
There are three girls left,
and we have made a pact together
that we will be honest when we
see something of our work
going off track.
At this point, it is what it is
and if she believes in it, she
believes in it.
If we tell her it's bad, then
she's not gonna believe in it.
At least she has last chance.
I feel like she has a vision
and whatever it is, she could
execute it.
Nine to five, really nine to
five.
Maybe that pact was not
a good idea.
I don't know.
I mean, I think the pact
probably wasn't a good idea,
because there also comes a point
where like we do need to start
worrying about ourselves.
And we can't all stay to
the end.
Yeah.
What's up, girls?
Hi.
Just gonna have little hot
pants over it.
See, see, see?
All right, don't make her
look like a disco queen.
Oh, she's gonna.
Studio 54.
Did you go?
God, yeah.
Really?
Did you see Diane Von
Furstenberg as much as they said
she was there?
All of those people.
Halston, Diana Ross, Liza
Minnelli.
Did you get your Halston
job there?
No.
Oh.
I got it in a balcony,
third row.
What?
Is that a dirty joke, Bert?
Could be.
It's kinda Chanel, but not.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I had some more.
I love that.
I like your inverted pleat
here.
Why--why?
It's become popular.
Just taking a look around.
Josh is definitely copying
some of my elements.
He has the pleat in the back of
his shirt similar to mine.
You saw the back of it?
But did they do it because of
this?
You drew it first.
Yeah.
It kinda gets me a little
frustrated, but the more and
more I think about it, my pieces
are always stronger.
Whatever, I'm not--
you know what?
My [bleep] looks way ten times
better than that.
Like, you can copy me all you
want, girl, it ain't gonna be
the same, okay?
Like really?
Coming up on Project
Runway...
This is the top thus far.
I don't know where in there
he sees '70s.
Bert is making Roller Barbie.
Don't understand it.
Doesn't look like a paper bag
waist.
It looks like a hefty bag waist.
How's it coming, Anya?
Yeah, it's coming.
Good morning, everyone.
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
Just give it to us.
That face.
Designers, for this
challenge, you will have be
creating a second look that
consists of one piece.
It cannot be separate.
You will have a budget of $50,
and you'll have 15 minutes to
sketch...
And 15 minutes at Mood.
All right?
Whippin' out a second garment
and on this really tight budget,
it definitely adds a lot more
pressure for us.
Okay, thank you, everyone.
Thank you, Tim.
So we have $50 to make
a new look, and that's really
not a lot of money.
I'm not good at not spending
money.
So I am really having to think
this one out.
I'm gonna continue working
on getting this done right now.
In the time that I should be
sketching, I'm actually just
finishing up my first look and
thinking about what I'm gonna do
but nothing has really hit me
just yet.
I'm gonna make a jumpsuit.
It feels a little overwhelming
because I've already kinda
battled through one day of
emotional sort of [sigh].
$50.
I guess it's not so little.
I just--I'm exhausted.
For my second look, I really,
really like what's coming into
my head.
It's a short little mini dress,
I just need to find the right
fabric.
I'm so like pinning my swatch
to my shirt so I don't lose it.
You know, that's what I
should do.
Pin your money to your shirt.
That's a good idea actually.
All right, designers.
Let's head out to Mood.
Okay?
Let's go.
Anya, don't lose that money.
My second look is gonna be
a really tight mini dress with
beautiful chiffon sleeves.
How much is this one here?
I find that interesting, bright
print.
I'm excited to work with it.
I remember this fabric way in
the back with these burned-out
chevrons on it.
It's expensive so I can't get
any extra.
Let me get three quarters.
Of a yard?
Yes.
Can I just get half a yard?
Sure.
The silk chiffon and silk
organza--what's the general
width difference?
I am picking up as many yards
as I can afford of silk
charmeuse...
Cut wide so I can
get more for my money.
Well, wait a minute.
If it's 14, that's $30.
This is 60 inches, so for
two and one--
Is it round or--
It's round, yeah.
Designers, you have two
minutes remaining, everyone.
In two minutes, you need to be
at the counter checking out.
I need to edit.
No crystals.
Okay, um, these.
And then what's back there that
I can get?
All right, everyone's time
is up now.
No more shopping.
Thank you so much.
You're all set.
All right, everyone, let's
head back to Parsons, all right?
Thank you, Mood.
Thank you.
I have quite a bit of work
on both garments.
I have a lot of pleating and
finish on the top from the first
look, and then I basically have
to sew the second look all
together.
It's scary.
Hi, everybody.
Hey, how are you?
I'm just gonna check in with
you, all right?
Anthony Ryan.
Hey, Tim.
How are you doing?
Good.
Update me please.
Yes!
And what I was thinking was
doing a--not a mini, but
something that proportionally
hit about here.
You don't like the idea of a
skirt?
Uh, no.
I think it's gonna make her look
too old.
Old?
I totally get what Tim's
saying.
So to make it a little bit more
youthful, I'm really considering
shortening it.
For my second piece, I've been
thinking about making a maxi,
'cause I just like what a maxi
does.
Is anyone else making a maxi?
I mean, Anya's is kinda of
maxi-ish.
Yeah, but it's pants.
Right.
And Laura has a maxi skirt.
Skirt.
As far as I'm concerned,
it's a void among all of you.
And if you have enough fabric,
go for it.
It's gonna be one of those
make it break it moments, but
it's gonna be worth it.
So I wanna hear what you're
doing.
A paper bag waist pant.
Right now, it has a lot more
allowance.
I'm so glad to hear you say
that because it's not a--it
doesn't look like a paper bag
waist.
It looks like a hefty bag waist.
Right.
So what is the second look?
It's a jumpsuit, because I
think jumpsuits were so into
really the '70s.
And they're very on trend.
Great.
Thank you.
Thank you, Tim.
How is Bert?
Bert's good.
Good.
Getting this little thing
together.
Bert is making Roller Barbie
for the '70s.
Don't understand it, again,
again.
I mean, it's a very serious
'70s moment.
Mm-hmm.
The judges can be enraptured
by this, or they can say you
didn't pull it out of the '70s.
It looks vintage.
What is your second look?
I thought of sort of a skimp
type look...
Mm-hmm.
And possibly do like the
bronze in the back in this
platinum in the front.
How's Kimberly?
Well, I think I've made
a switch, turning this into
a jumper so it's like how a vest
and a pant would look together,
but it's a jumper, so this would
be really fitted.
I love the idea.
So are you working on the second
look?
Yes, well, I did a little
bit shorter in the front,
so I was thinking about doing it
with a mini so just see just
a smidgeon of skin here.
I mean, you're--this is
an old fart responding to you.
Mm-hmm.
When you see that bare
midriff, for me that is the sex
element.
Mm-hmm.
So if it's a mini--
I really wanted a maxi,
but I didn't get enough fabric.
Well, I mean, you can do
whatever you want.
I just think if you've got sex
on the bottom and the bare
midriff--
That's why I'm thinking maybe
pencil skirt.
Do it, Kimberly.
I always love when you come
over, thank you.
Thank you!
Hey, Viktor.
Hi, Tim, how are you?
I'm good, you've made a lot
of progress.
Are you still going with the
safari look?
Yeah, like, I think I still
wanna put this pocket here.
I'm still, you know, working on
it.
From where I stand, the more
of the safari construction
elements you can get into this
the better off you are.
Otherwise, it's--frankly, it's
just a pretty jacket.
Okay.
Tim gives me advice to make it
more safari.
I do agree with him.
If I'm gonna go there, just go
there and be loud.
All right so then what is
your second look?
Flare pants mimicking the
suiting kinda thing.
Mm-hmm.
All right, Viktor, move forward.
All right.
Thank you.
Joshua.
Hi, Tim.
This is the top thus far.
It's still on its way.
I have a cuff coming with, you
know, a little slit.
Joshua's looks--it's hot
pink, the pants are just
strange.
I don't know where he sees '70s.
And then you know my new look
is going to be--
Yeah, what is the new look?
A tight mini with like a
really great sleeve.
I want to play on this idea of
the masculine and feminine
and kind of the androgyny of
that time.
Can I tell you this though?
Be careful of the narrative
because...
You can really spin
a tale.
You do it well...
Thank you.
But the clothes need to speak
for themselves.
Hi, Laura.
Hi, Tim!
So...
You're making progress.
Yeah!
I think Laura's dress was
just God-awful I thought.
That stripe and that horrible
print just made no sense.
For my second look, I'm going
to do a very wearable jumpsuit.
And so the bottom pants will
stay this black chiffon,
obviously lined.
And then this will be actually
the top of it.
So it'd be like that.
I--here's what I'm thinking.
That this seems to want to be
designed differently.
Okay.
And I will tell you this.
And I'm not saying this either
to be mean or to hurt your
feelings, I'm just being very
matter-of-fact about it.
Nina has this thing about you
and she has her radar up when
she sees your work.
I know.
I just want you to know that
she gets bristly about your
taste level.
At this point, I do feel like
I have a lot to overcome with
pleasing Nina.
Because if Nina says no,
there's no way I can push past
that.
Coming up on Project
Runway...
[Bleep].
I'm in scramble mode right
now.
I'm calling time.
Aye aye aye.
I would like for one time to be
finished.
Well, I apparently found out
in my critique that Nina hates
me, and that's why I didn't win
last challenge.
Tim has let me know that when
my look comes on the runway,
that Nina's radar goes up.
"She like questions your taste."
And I'm like "my ta--like what?"
I've just never heard that one
'cause I think my style is
sometimes maybe too refined.
Am I concerned about, you know,
my brand pleasing Nina?
No.
But in this competition, is it
about pleasing Nina?
Unfortunately, yeah.
Boo!
Hey.
Mister, I missed you!
How are you?
Good, how are you?
I have nothing for you to
try on.
Come on.
He does that, but like it
always ends up being okay.
Yeah, I always whip something
out.
Yeah, I think this fabric,
black band.
Yeah.
I feel like I'm Charlie's
Angels.
Yeah.
I gotta get working on your
dress.
Oh.
Bye, ladies.
Nice meeting you, Kenzie.
Bye.
Okay, we've got four--5 1/2
hours to do about two day's
work, guys.
Let's get crackin'.
Fashion is my food.
Bert, do you have that Turner
thing?
Oh, here it is.
Just like hook this into it?
Yeah, like you're putting
a you-know-what on.
Bert, you are so--
A sock.
A sock, oh.
Pantyhose.
You are so intense.
I was thinking about doing
the dress in either the solid
or the print, and then the
sleeves.
I look at Anya, and she is the
girl I want to dress.
It's so cute.
I'm asking what her opinion
is and would she wear this,
and she said she would buy
every single piece.
So I know that I'm in the right
direction.
Is that how big it is?
I'm gonna cut it 'cause it's
like way too wide.
I'm making these wide-leg pants
that are super simple, and I cut
the fabric way too wide.
So they look like I'm making
pants for a 500-pound woman.
I'm just really frustrated with
myself that I've done this.
How are you doing on time?
I didn't fit the second look
at all.
Yeah, me, at all.
What are you putting her in,
the mini dress or the pants?
No, I mean, I'm making like
I'm actually gonna do a really
full maxi.
Oh, okay.
So I decided to switch the
way I'm going to do my second
look.
Basically it's a maxi dress
because I know that it's
something that I can make within
the time left for this
challenge.
You all ready to roll?
Whoo!
Long morning in the a.m.
Come on, Anya.
Let's go.
Turn the lights out on you.
All right, guys, let's hit it.
Oh, my God, the clothes are.
Still here
Oh, my God, they're not
finished
I was expecting like some little
munchkin to come in here and
finish 'em.
All right, where's my list?
What do we have to do?
Good morning, everybody,
how are you?
You have two hours to send your
models to the L'Oreal Paris
makeup room and the Garnier
hair studio.
This is the Piperlime challenge.
There's the Piperlime wall.
Use it very thoughtfully.
Cool.
All right, everyone, I'll see
you later.
Thank you.
Bye, Tim.
Hi, girls.
Hello!
There's a lot of finishing
work that I need to complete
on this like blazer vest jacket
thing that I'm doing.
But I feel okay, you know.
I know I'll be running like
the rest of them.
[Bleep].
[Bleep].
I keep [bleep] sewing this
[bleep] thing till it's out.
When the models arrived for
their final fitting, I still
have so much work to do.
I just have them stand and wait
for me while I'm working in the
sewing room.
And that's really nerve-wracking
for me.
[Bleep].
Good to see you.
She's gonna be Shelley Hack
and I want her hair to have some
texture.
I want a fro.
You know, like define that look
and like frizzy, but that modern
fro.
Yeah, yeah, okay.
For Bojana, I wanna do big
bouncy curls.
You know, '70s--big bouncy.
This time, we're gonna do
low ponytail for both of them
with a little bump-it.
Cute.
Yeah, right?
Super cute.
Hi.
So I wanna do sort of the
opposite of each other, so the
lip is the emphasis here,
and then with Thais, I would
love like a smokey eye, but with
plums.
I wanna keep her really
clean, maybe nude her lip out,
give her some gloss.
Pretty much the focus is the
color in her cheeks.
Do maybe like a sun-kissed
face, and just maybe like a--
Let's just do sun-kissed.
Thank you.
I think I have to cut the
waistband.
The waistband is too small.
I cut it for her natural waist
and not for her low waist.
So I'm in scramble mode right
now.
You know what I'm about to
do.
I know, but I have--
Designers, in ten minutes,
you and your models and I are
going down to the runway.
And one of you is still in the
sewing room.
Thank you.
Hold on, get your belt.
Get the tie belt.
It's fabulous, and that's it.
You look so hot!
A little bit, huh?
Perfect.
I rush out of the sewing room
with about two minutes to spare.
Kenzie, off, off, off, off.
Clothes off, off.
Yes, yes, yes.
And I have to hand-sew her in
without a zipper.
[Bleep] So pissed.
It's okay, it's gonna look
great.
Anya.
I know, I know, I know.
I'm calling time.
When Tim comes and calls
time, and I'm still sewing,
I stopped breathing.
Aye, aye, aye.
Falling piece of clothing.
All right, designers.
Good, bad, or indifferent, we
are going down the runway right
now, all right?
Everyone, follow me please.
It's just been a roller
coaster for me.
I would like for one time to be
finished when it's time to go
to the runway.
I don't wanna go home.
Kimberly.
You're the last.
Coming up on Project
Runway...
I would not wanna be any of
those girls.
It's over the top.
It looks horr-en-dous.
Ahh!
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 seven of you here,
and after tonight, there will be
six.
For this challenge, we asked you
to create separates with a
modern take on the sophisticated
'70s.
And then we gave you a little
twist.
We asked you to create another
one-piece look.
The winning look will be
produced and sold on
Piperlime.com.
We gave you two days and $150
to put your looks together.
Okay, let's meet the judges.
First, we have CFDA lifetime
achievement award winner
Michael Kors.
Hi, everyone.
Fashion director for Marie
Claire magazine, Nina Garcia.
Hi, everyone.
And joining us today,
Piperlime guest editor
Olivia Palermo.
Welcome.
Hello.
Thank 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.
Okay, let's start the show.
I am very pleased.
The circle top is flattering
because it's just loose and
flowy.
Every woman looks good in a
pencil skirt, so that works.
I love it, so I'm pretty
satisfied.
Yes, Bojana, give it.
The jumper, I think, is fresh
and modern.
It's the vest and the pant
together, so I think that's
a very fresh, new idea.
I think it's great.
I am loving what I've done
with the first look.
It's three pieces, they're very
interchangeable.
It is casual, but it looks like
the trendy girl walking down
the street anywhere.
My second look, for Carla,
wasn't necessarily my favorite,
but I actually didn't mind it.
It was definitely more of that
dressier look, but on a casual
end.
So I felt good about the way
they look and the overall vibe
that they're giving.
It's wonderful seeing Alyssa
walk down the runway.
She looks amazing.
They look young and fresh.
It's beautiful.
And they look great on her.
It looks perfect.
But it's a lot more skin than
I expected to see.
Get some booty on that one.
The second look, which is for
Kerstin, she looks great in this
dress.
Had a very Grecian look to it.
It looks absolutely awesome on
her.
It looks cute and young in
today, but also very reminiscent
of the '70s.
I am completely excited.
I'm proud of the chevron top
because I mitered all the
chevrons together.
And the top and skirt fit
Meghan beautifully.
It's very vibrant and it's got
a little bit of the '70s to it
but modern.
Hannah has never looked better.
The gold necklace that I've
chosen for the black jumper
definitely finishes off and
both of my looks are beautiful,
they're current.
Any girl would want to wear them
and they're still reminiscent
of the '70s.
I love what Sonia is wearing.
It's a very masculine look.
It's a tailored pant with
a men's tuxedo shirt.
It's kind of oversized, but it
has a great high fashion feel
to it and sex appeal to it.
My second look--it's a really
beautiful sexy dress.
I think it's quite strong,
and it corresponds to the '70s
because of the length.
I'm confident at the moment
that I've done my best, so I'm
really, really, really happy.
The first look is the one
that's made for $11 and
considering that, it's okay.
But the pants are too short,
and it looks unfinished,
and the color that I dyed them
is like so-so.
$11.50.
The second look, I think, looks
gorgeous.
I'm really, really, really happy
with it.
It's a very '70s-inspired, but
with a sleek, modern edge to it
so that it's current but still
referencing this era.
Work.
I'm watching Erika come out,
and she looks amazing.
I mean, she looks very
statuesque.
The jacket looks very well done
and tailored.
The pants look stunning.
I just wish I could've seen
the shirt a little bit more.
But it looks really good at the
same time.
Karin is also amazing.
She looks stunning, she looks
rich.
It's a classic cut from the '70s
but I just made it more modern.
And the print is phenomenal.
I'm very excited.
I think it looks really, really
good, and it makes me feel
really good about myself.
The '70s are back.
If I call your name, please
step forward.
Kimberly.
Kimberly, congratulations.
Your scores have qualified you
to move on to the next
challenge.
You can leave the runway.
Thank you.
Good going.
The remaining designers have
highest and the lowest scores.
One of you will be named the
winner, and one of you will be
out.
Okay, Laura, tell us about
your looks.
I love color and prints,
so I wanted a really easy knit
to make a full maxi skirt
that was just wearable and that
also read well online.
And then I wanted to do
something really graphic on top
so I made these chevrons.
The second look, just made this
really easy, wearable jumper
that I thought would flatter
a lot of silhouettes.
The black pant and the top,
I thought that that was quite
nice.
I just don't really love those
two prints together.
They don't look good in my eye.
The top looks like she's
wearing a prison uniform,
and then this long, flowery,
weird print--I don't understand
how you got to this.
Now, you're other look, you have
the problem that if I were
shopping online, this probably
won't read as anything.
I definitely agree with the
both of you about the print.
I don't think that either one of
the prints go together at all.
The maxi skirt you can find
anywhere.
And then the top, I can
appreciate you trying to do
something different in the back,
but again, it just does not
work.
I don't think that they look
like fashion.
They just look like clothes.
They don't look like what's
next.
Would you wear this?
Yes.
You would wear it.
I definitely would.
Viktor.
When I was a kid, I used to
own a safari jacket from the
'70s.
So I kinda wanted to make
something like that, but just
a little more modern.
So I started with this fabric
and this jacket, and I love the
fabric--the print--so much that
I extended that fabric into a
T-shirt.
I think you did two great
looks.
I wish that the suit, though,
was a little sexier.
The T-shirt is k*lling the
sex that tailoring in the '70s
would've had.
It's almost making her look
a little career matron.
Let's have a look at it.
Oh, yeah.
I like that T-shirt.
It's really cute.
With nothing, she would've
looked hot.
And of course I love that you're
matching.
You happen to have a snakeskin
short in your closet.
With a bowtie.
Every guy has a snakeskin
bowtie.
It's really, really well done.
Thank you.
Beautiful tailoring.
A little conservative.
I agree.
I love the T-shirt.
I think it's great.
It's hip, it's cool.
Thank you.
And I love the dress.
And I'm very impressed that you
managed to make all of this
and make it look expensive for
so little money.
Thank you.
I think the pants are great.
They're really sexy pants,
and I think they're versatile.
I do love the T-shirt, I just
think for something else.
It is unreal what you can do
in a short amount of time.
Very impressive.
Thank you.
Joshua.
I just kind of wanted to
go with this very masculine
first look.
And then pulling the second look
into it, it's just this idea of
masculine and femininity,
and the freedom and the joy of
the '70s.
Well, I think you've got real
schizophrenia between the two
outfits.
Okay.
The plaid pants would be
against every fashion law of
nature in any decade.
Let's see the butt.
Turn around.
Ahh!
You love to go over the top,
and boy, this outfit's over the
top...
And truly has none of the
easiness of the '70s.
Is that even the '70s, these
pants?
No, they're 1870 in France.
I got the wrong '70s then.
Yeah.
That's it.
Well, he didn't clarify 1970.
Sorry.
I have to say this outfit
is one of the worst outfits
I have seen in a long time.
There are just so many things
going on in this look, that it's
just really sore to the eyes.
I just don't understand how you
can put all these things in one
outfit.
'Cause that's who I am.
I know, that's scary though.
It's not scary.
It's the idea that this could be
on a runway and be sold right
off of her.
A lot of these still need work,
and we have sufficient amount of
time to be making clothing of
this quality, and it's not
happening.
So as bad--as off the mark as
it is, I really put heart and
soul into each piece that I
make.
I love that you believe 100%
in yourself.
The problem is, though, if it
doesn't resonate to the outside
world, it's not gonna do you
any good if you just live in
your own bubble and you think
it's fabulous, fabulous, even
if it doesn't work.
To match leopard and then
you have a table-cloth-looking
pair of pants, there's no
consistency whatsoever.
You have ideas that need to be
confined.
For the second dress, I would've
chose another fabric.
I would've maybe added a
chiffon, a tie to it...
And richen it a little bit.
I personally think the choice
of fabric is horr-en-dous.
In Mood, where you have every
fabric imaginable, that you
chose this one is tragic.
[Scoffs]
However, you do take risk
and I appreciate that.
But you have an edit problem
that is not going away.
Anya, tell us about your
looks.
We were given $100 to shop
for fabrics, and I lost my
money.
And so I got $11 from Anthony
Ryan.
That's this look, and then the
second one--what I love about
the '70s, the jumpers, and I
love that jumpers now are back
in style because I just think
they're the easiest way to be
stylish without being
uncomfortable.
So with $11, you made the
pants.
And what is the top?
Muslin.
Wow, so that look costs $11.
$11.50.
That is pretty impressive.
I did like the print of your
um, jumpsuit.
I like that it's sheer in the
back.
Makes it very sexy.
The top--it's like the color
of dentyne chewed gum on the
bottom of your seat or
something.
But I like the work in the back
of the top very much.
It's '70s without it looking
full-on costume.
I love the chiffon in the back.
I think it's really, really
well done.
Thank you.
I love the print you chose.
It looks expensive, the colors
are good.
It feels very spirited, it feels
like a vacation.
I get it.
I think that shopping online,
it will photograph really
nicely.
Great.
Anthony Ryan.
What I really took from the
'70s was the music, the weed
smoking, the freedom of how
the air was.
So for the first look, I made
the skirt a shorter skirt.
It's very easy, but it's very
layered, and it's very much me.
The second one, I just did
a really easy maxi dress.
To me, it look incomplete.
I mean, that shirt needs to have
sleeves to be able to wear it.
And I think that the pattern
on top of the other one does not
work.
Why didn't you do a skort or
a really chic wide-leg pair of
shorts?
And then the other dress looks
a tent.
It's not my favorite.
It feels very hippy dippy, but
not in a good way.
The layering is not working.
I don't like the length of the
skirt, I don't like the length
of the vest with the blouse.
It doesn't have a Lux feeling to
it.
Okay.
I like the fact that you
went to a whole different, very
early '70s, granola, pass the
pipe kind of girl.
Right.
And can I see the skirt?
[Gasp]
Oh, no.
Oh.
It's too much.
To me, they look like two
boring girls.
I don't think that they look
cool, hip--that has like no sex
appeal.
It's just like we call it
schmattas.
Put on your schmatta, you hide
everything.
I would not want to be any of
those girls.
I agree with you, Heidi.
I think they look like two
boring girls that are part of
a cult.
They do.
They're hippy sister wives.
Okay.
Okay, Bert, Alyssa's wearing
my first look.
I went for Charlie--
the Shelley Hack image that I
remember.
My second look--my inspiration
for this was like Ali McGraw,
Candace Bergen, more minimal.
Your first look.
Mm-hmm.
I do like this fabric
actually a lot.
I was wondering why you made
these shorts so super short.
I just wanted to give like a
cute, sorta jean cut.
But I don't mind it, I have
to say.
I also like this little dress.
It looks like an expensive
little dress.
I like that it has the different
color on the back.
Mm-hm.
It's very simple but it's quite
nice.
It looks very elegant.
I like the blouse in this
metallic chiffon because women
love to show their shoulders.
Mm-hm.
I like the asymmetry in it--
I think it's great.
I like that you took two sides
of the '70s.
One is the streamlined side and
one is the full glamarama side.
So I think that was really well
done.
Thank you.
You know, I would buy that
top and I would wear it with
something else.
In terms of the other look, it's
really beautiful.
I--it's very simple, but there's
beauty and simplicity, I always
say that.
I really, really like that one.
Thank you.
I love your first look.
It's beautiful.
I think it's great for, you
know, if a girl wants to wear
flats during the day--very sexy,
during summer--even to the beach
and that's lovely.
I think the second look, I do
like the belt details with the
knots at the end.
The silver really picks up well,
um, and I do like that it's
neutral.
Thank you.
Okay, so we've heard what you
had to say.
We have a lot to talk about.
And then I call you back out.
You can leave the runway.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We're all here.
Oh, my God.
Okay, spill it.
Just missed the mark.
Of the '70s or the--just
everything?
You know, if this was a
challenge that I had time to do
research on, I would have blown
it out of the water.
But I didn't live through
the '70s.
I was barely born in the '80s.
I'm pulling from my butt here.
I was born 1980, but I still
watched movies and saw
references.
And I know what's '70s and
what's not.
I think that's really not
the case.
'Cause I was never born in the
'70s.
But you're making the
assumption that everyone was
grown-up like you.
Well I mean I came from a--
Do you know what I'm saying?
So--but no, you're trying--
trying--you're trying to get
aggressive by telling me that--
No.
I should know these movies.
I think Viktor's point was
just that, a lot of us have not
grown up in a certain era.
Like say if they give us any
decade of a challenge, it's just
a part of being a fashion
designer to just know fashion
history.
I'm--I don't think he meant--
I think that's the point.
I mean, now, we have to know
these things.
Let's start with Joshua.
What was he thinking?
Ugh.
The guy has a point of view
which is definitely not about
editing and simplicity.
There was such a fit problem
like you said it looked terrible
from the front, even worse from
the back.
It's just...
And then the leopard,
the leopard.
That's the other thing.
It's...
No, the--the acid colored
leopard.
There's nothing wrong with
animal print...
I love leopard, but--
Acid colored animal print is
a problem.
I think he's hit and miss.
He needs someone to edit for
him.
Yes.
That's the thing.
The other thing is to take
criticism because if you're in
an editor's meeting or with the
buyer, anyone else...
I know he gets like,
[inhales deeply]
Not too great at it.
He's that steaming--I see
smoke coming out of his nose.
It's like, "you're stupid.
Every girl is gonna want those
plaid pants that make her a*s
look that long."
She will not be getting
laid with those pants.
[Laughter]
Anthony Ryan.
Ooh.
I don't know what went wrong
here this week.
Everything.
His clothes to me looked so
blah.
It looked like they were part
of the Charles Manson Cult or
something.
It was just bad.
The mix of prints was
terrible.
It's not just about how it
is in person, it's about how it
photographs.
Because for Piperlime, if I'm
shopping, you wanna able to see
that it's photographed well to
fly it--
Yeah.
You want it--that standout
piece.
Yeah, without scaring people.
Yeah.
We also didn't care for
Laura.
Oh.
Ecch.
Out of all the--
How can you put these two
prints together and think that
that looks really good.
And it's looks cheap.
The stripes.
Any other woman who's not a
model that's gonna put that on,
it's not going to be flattering
at all.
Talk about schizophrenic,
we've got the ugly print skirt
with the prison striped halter
top, and then I go the other
extreme and it's like taking
three slipping pills.
Yeah, how is this going to
look online?
I mean...
Yeah, it would not read very
well.
One would scare you and one
would put you to sleep.
All right.
Let's move on to the designers
that we did like.
We liked Anya.
I'm quite impressed with her,
I have to say.
She has a good taste and she can
really pick beautiful prints.
I liked that printed pant.
I think it was really cool--
I liked the print itself very
much.
It was cool.
The jumpsuit is a home run
garment here.
Oh yeah, I would wear it.
I would love to wear that
too.
Its quiet but it's a show
stopper at the same time.
And it was sexy.
When you wear a halter top
that's plunged all the way to
the waist, if it's not cut
the right way...
Forget it.
I mean, you're topless at
dinner.
This was cut in such a way that
in fact I think its wearable.
The girl is smart, thinks
quickly on her feet, and solves
the problem.
She didn't have the money, she
figured it out, how to dye that
and make that happen--
Granted, the color of that
top.
Okay, but she did something.
She did something.
She will just get it resolved
and done.
And for a designer you have
to be quick and you have to
think on your feet.
And look, we all would wanna
have this jumpsuit.
Because it is that pretty.
I'm gonna get one too.
[Laughter]
Bert also did a very nice
job.
Even the crazy transparent
outfit.
The top in itself is a top that
you could wear with jeans.
That will photograph
phenomenal.
It's true, it'll take
a great picture.
I mean, it--it will take a
great picture.
No problem.
Yeah.
And that silk jersey dress,
could be any length, any color.
Any color will work.
And we would then all wanna
have it.
And I think the silver ends
on the belt really enriched
the--the look.
Looks expensive.
Yeah, it made it look
expensive.
He was this close on making
both perfect.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Viktor, yet again did
an amazing job.
Viktor sneaked in here.
Yup.
Little by little.
Creeping to, maybe Fashion
Week.
Yeah, unbelievable.
I have to say I like that
T-shirt.
I love the T-shirt.
Yeah, I love it too.
Every piece he made is great.
Yes.
You love the T-shirt with the
pants alone?
I think everyone here.
Do you like the jacket without
the top?
Sure, in a heart beat.
Yeah.
If could mix all of this
together, I think he saw two
sides of the '70s and neither
looks like a costume.
You know they're very
sophisticated.
I like what he did--how he
cinched the belt and then left
the big pockets on the outside
of that jacket.
I love how he manipulated
the snake print.
Snake skin can look cheap.
It didn't look cheap at all.
Yeah, he picked a very
beautiful print.
Yeah.
It looked just right.
So we've made our decision?
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.
This was a really hard decision
for us today.
You are all talented and we're
at the point in the competition
where you must bring your
absolute best to every
challenge.
Anya, you are the winner of this
challenge.
[Gasps] Oh, my God.
Thank you.
Your jumpsuit will be
produced and sold exclusively on
Piperlime.com.
Oh, my God.
Thank you so much.
Congratulations.
You're in, you can leave
the runway.
Thank you.
[Kisses]
I feel great about the win.
I went from having lost money,
crying...
You--you're the winner?
[Giggle] Yes.
Wooh-hoo-hoo.
I can't believe it.
It was a huge roller-coaster of
an experience.
Oh, my God.
I'm so happy.
I had a total beauty queen
moment.
I went--[Gasps].
[Laughs]
Bert, Olivia has something
that she wants to say to you.
Bert, we loved your dress and
we would also like to produce it
and sell it on Piperlime.com.
Thank you so much.
You're in...
Thank you, good luck, guys.
You can leave the runway.
Viktor, good job today.
You're in.
You can leave the runway.
Thank you, thank you.
Laura, you're in.
But you really missed the mark.
You can leave the runway.
Thank you.
Joshua.
Anthony Ryan.
One of you will be out.
Anthony Ryan, your dress was
a shapeless tent and your
separates were unattractive.
Joshua, your looks were
over-designed as usual and
neither of your looks gave us
a modern take of the '70s.
Joshua...
You're in.
You can leave the runway.
[Muffled chatter]
Anthony Ryan, we really enjoyed
having you here.
Me too.
You're a great designer.
But I'm sorry, you're out.
Auf wiedersehen.
Thank you all.
He was cute.
It must be you.
Yeah.
I wanna cry.
Why?
Because I'm gonna miss you.
I feel really good about my
time here.
I definitely didn't expect to be
so close to certain individuals
on the show.
I thought we would never
share that spot.
I know.
I don't really think--I got
to do my best work on here.
But my voice was heard.
We all wanna make it to the top
three.
But we all don't.
[Sobs]
[Crying]
Aw...
I want to assert something.
With the seven of you here, this
is the Project Runway Olympics.
You're excellent designers.
You know how to execute your
work beautifully, and I hate to
say this guys, it's gonna be
like this from now until
the end.
Someone's going home, and it's
an excellent designer.
I just hope you feel as proud of
yourself as I feel of--
Oh yeah.
Of you.
We're gonna miss you.
I know, I'll miss you too.
It's hard.
I know.
So I have to send you to the
workroom to clean up your space.
Okay.
This is just a bump on the road
for me.
First and foremost, I love
fashion.
'Cause that's what got me
through a hard time.
We love you.
All right, Tim.
And we're gonna continue to do
it.
This is not gonna stop me.
In the end, you're not first,
but you're not last, it's how
you take that middle ground and
run with it.
Next time on
Project Runway...
These birds will serve as the
inspiration for a runway look.
Parrot: Hello.
[Owl hoots]
Birds?
You're competing head to
head.
It's against each other.
What is it?
[Screams]
You need to ditch it.
Yeah, it's over for that
dress.
How's she gonna get in it?
Good question.
You've only sewn for four
months, and it shows.
What happened?
Viktor.
You've got the talent.
You've just got to hold it in.
This is a very disappointing
look.
to learn more about the
fashion you've seen on tonight's
show.
