09x12 - The Finale Challenge

[bunniefuu]

Previously on
Project Runway...

These birds will serve as the

inspiration for a high fashion

look.

The winner will receive $20,000.

I checked my bank account and

I'm, like, negative money.

[Parrot talking] Make it

work.

Anya, do you have any fabric

I can borrow?

Um...

It was different a few

challenges ago but right now I

just don't even think it's the

right thing to be asking.

Are you mad at me?

You need to ditch it.

Give it the heave-h*.

Okay.

I don't see high fashion in

this.

How does it feel to you?

[Sighs] I'm having a bad day

to begin with.

Ouch!

I am beyond frustrated this

at this point.

You moved away from your

comfort zone and it turned out

great.

Thank you.

I don't love all those

ruffles, it's too birdie.

Talk about pageantry.

Mother of the bride, Wonder

Woman--it has nothing to do with

the joy of the bird.

This is the most

disappointing look that I've

seen from you.

Anya, you are the clear

winner of this challenge.

[Laughs] Thank you so much.

Bert, you're out.

This is Project Runway.

The winner of Project Runway

will receive $100,000 from

L'Oreal Paris to start their own

It's sad to lose Bert.

It just took us time to

understand who he was.

He probably could have stayed

longer than Kimberly.

Yeah, and, like, at this

point if we are the best of the

best we need to be showing the

best of the best construction,

tailoring, pressing, like--

Anya's this flowy, you know--

it's either a jumper or, like,

I don't even know if she can do

a jacket at this point.

My sewing skills are impeccable

and this could be my leg up on

some other competitors at this

point of the competition.

How do you get to this stage of

a competition that is a design-

based competition by not doing

anything of that nature?

It just--it seems to confuse me.

Anya, you have another win.

How does it feel?

Oh, I feel fant--

[laughter]

I know that I've done

particularly well in the last

couple challenges and I can't

go back, you know, I have to go

forward and I feel a lot of

pressure.

A lot.

You can do it.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Hello.

Hi.

How does it feel to be in the

top five?

Amazing.

Like a dream.

Isn't this crazy?

We're down to our final

challenge.

Oh, my God.

[Laughs]

And this will determine who

will create final collections

and return here to New York City

for Fashion Week.

Oh, [bleep], this is it.

The pressure's on.

Oh, my God, goosebumps.

For your final challenge we

give you the opportunity to get

out of the city for a little

bit.

Uh, what?

A ferry will take you to meet

Tim at Governors Island and he

then will fill you in on all of

the details.

Good luck to you all and I'll

see you here on the runway.

Bye, everybody.

Bye, Heidi.

[Ship horn blows]

Guys, it's top five!

So beautiful.

Top five! What?

Whoo!

We are now one challenge away

from being selected to show at

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and

it just is the ultimate moment

in a designer's life, really

and truly.

Being on the ferry and just

the wind in your face, it was

just kind of breathtaking and

that actually might have been

the first moment that I really

did say to myself,

"Congratulations, you have made

it to the top five."

I wanna speak to the governor

right now.

[Laughter]

I would like to speak to the

governor.

I have absolutely no idea

what could be in store on the

island for us.

I'm just enjoying the

scenery.

It comes at the perfect time.

I could use a moment to take a

chill pill.

Good morning, designers.

Welcome to your inspiration for

this challenge, Governors

Island.

I am delighted to introduce you

to two very special guests.

Leslie Koch, President of the

trust for Governors Island,

and John Stern, President of

Storm King Art Center.

Governors Island's become

New York City's playground for

the arts, a source of

inspiration for thousands of New

Yorkers already and we're hoping

it will be a source of

inspiration for you today.

Thank you.

Designers, there is an

abundance of inspiration here.

You have the landscape, you have

the architecture, and you have

this incredible exhibition of

sculpture by Mark di Suvero.

And John's going to tell us more

about it.

Storm King Art Center is a

beautiful 500-acre sculpture

park and museum in the Hudson

Valley.

And for this exhibition we

brought Mark's work from

around the country to all the

visitor's at Governors Island

and today to you.

You will be creating three

looks.

And all three looks must

demonstrate a range.

By this I mean we don't want

three pantsuits, three gowns.

You're going to have an hour to

explore the island and sketch.

You each have a golf cart, there

are maps for you, and there also

are cameras for recording your

inspiration.

Then you'll meet me back here

and we'll be going to Mood where

you'll have a budget of $500 and



And it is a two-day challenge.

Start now!

Aah!

As I drive around Governors

Island I'm taking pictures of

different sculptures and one

sculpture really spoke to me.

It was called New Beginning.

That was my source of

inspiration because that's

exactly what this is, that's

exactly what this is about.

This new beginning.

Oh, wow.

I have a brother in the military

and I was drawn to the a*tillery

and the chapel happened to be

very close to it and it really

was the stained glass of the

church and the structure of it,

it just really caught my eye.

I love the effect of it.

And I loved this idea of

fragility meets strength and

power.

After taking in everything,

I'm most inspired by all the

circular shapes and I first

start sketching an evening gown

out of circles that are small

and get bigger towards the

bottom.

Lord knows how I'm gonna finish

that but I can't get it out of

my head.

From the island I'm taking

mostly the structure or the

silhouettes of things and the

city in the background.

I just wanna do a little bit

more metropolitan type of

design.

I'm definitely doing cigarette

pants, I'm doing a leather

jacket that's a little bit

draped, so I want it to seem

like it's flowy, kind of like

the background water.

Just make it look very high-end

and just interesting.

Hi, Viktor.

Hey, girl.

What an amazing view.

I know.

Initially I'm inspired just

by being in a new place.

But the most inspiring aspect of

this trip already is the

sculpture, because I love

sculpture.

I am sketching something that is

based off of the way the

sculpture can create lines and

negative and positive space.

I'm not gonna do prints, and I'm

not gonna go crazy with my usual

style.

I want to show the judges that

last challenge was not a fluke

for me.

Whoa!

The last and final challenge is

gonna be a lot of work.

Howdy!

How was it?

Fantastic!

It'll be interesting to see

how everybody deals with it.

It's that push time of just,

like, get yourself through one

more.

All right, everyone, are you

feeling inspired?

All: Yes.

So now let's head off to

Mood.

So I am looking for a

cantaloupe-colored wool.

I can't find the exact color

that I'm looking for, so now I

have to make some changes.

I need 5 yards of this.

Thank you.

Ha-ha.

Can I get 6 yards of the black

and then, um, 3 yards of the

white?

Maybe--mm, let's do four.

When it comes to spending money,

I like the finer things in life.

I'm gonna buy, buy, buy,

especially in, you know, rush

situations like this.

Yeah, okay, I'm not sure how

much quite yet but that's a

definite.

Oh, this is pretty cool.

Let's do, like, 2 yards of this.

Five minutes, everybody.

At Mood I get a whole range

of black, ivory, and rust

colored fabric.

I don't know what I'm gonna do

with it, I don't know how it's

gonna work.

I just know that this is the

palette that I want to work

with.

You're at 308 with this.

Okay, and then that's, like,

three-something.

So, um...

This is $700?

Um, yeah.

Well...

Edit.

You need to edit, yeah.

Um, I don't need the white.

Laura thought I said $5,000.

Heh.

I always think that.

You're at $499.30, yeah.

All right, thank you.

You're welcome.

All right, designers, let's

head back to Parson's.

Let's go.

All: Thank you, Mood.

Bye, gorgeous.

Bye.

And we're back.

All right, where to begin?

I was going to cut circles

and make an entire dress out of

circles.

And then I found this and I was,

like, "Hello, you just saved me

ten hours."

This is rather bright.

When I pull out the wool, I

realize that it's a bit brighter

and a bit more orange than I

wanted it to be.

But there's nothing I can do

now, so I have to make it work.

Uh-oh.

What is that?

Oh, what's this?

What?

Designers, may I ask you to

gather around please?

Oh, lord.

We all love the button bag.

Ugh, what the [bleep] are we

gonna do now?

Uh-oh.

[Gasps]

Oh, what's this?

Tim walks in the workroom

and he's got the beloved button

bag.

I'm just thinking, "Don't even

think about adding another

challenge."

All right, designers, we

think you would benefit from

some help.

I knew it.

[Laughs]

Let's send in the help.

Oh, my gosh.

Ooh!

Oh, my God! Hi!

Hi, hi, hi.

So in comes the last five

eliminated designers.

I'm thrilled to see some of

them.

Look at you people.

Oh, this is fantastic.

It is.

It's a relief because it's a

lot of work to get done in two

days.

But you cannot let it relax you

too much because there still is

the task at hand.

You will be choosing an

assistant in the order in which

I choose you from our velvet

bag.

Oh, boy.

First up is...

Kimberly.

Ooh.

I would like to take Becky,

please.

Yay.

Yay, Becky.

I'm so glad she picked me

first.

I did not want to work with

anyone else in there.

Oh, my God, thank God.

Next up is...

Viktor.

Yay!

I was chanting my name inside.

[Laughs]

Oliver.

I have mixed opinions about

Viktor, I think when he started

the competition I didn't like

him that much, but then I grew

to like him.

Next we have Laura.

I would love to have Anthony.

I was so surprised that Anthony

was still left and I was drawn

third, you know, but I was so

excited 'cause I'm, like,

"that's totally fine, you take

those people and I'll take

Anthony."

Two of you remain.

Heh.

What?

Don't fight with me.

Who's fighting with you?

You are getting aggressive.

No, gosh, relax, it's a joke.

Anya.

It's between Bert and Bryce.

I would like to choose Bert.

Hallelujah.

I feel that Anya and I are a

very good compliment and I

think it's gonna be a good team,

the two of us together.

I'm so happy to work with you.

Aw.

In the beginning I really

couldn't stand him,

like, he's really become

somebody that I've come to enjoy

being around.

Joshua and Bryce.

I love Josh M., but he's

intense and I know he really

likes to control.

Design assistants, your

designer has three looks that he

or she is responsible for in two

days.

All right?

Groovy.

All right?

Thank you, Tim.

Thanks, everyone.

Thanks.

Have fun!

Welcome back.

It's fun being back in the

workroom.

I'm gonna help Laura with what

she needs and it's her butt on

the line, not mine.

It's gonna be--it's like

cigarette slacks.

I don't want to do anything.

You just give me what you've

done here and--

Yeah, I just wanna give you

the theme so when you're sewing

it--

yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no,

explain it to me.

I don't have much lining so

I'm just gonna use muslin

underneath just to put the

netting on to keep the belt.

Oh, got it, yeah.

And so then the coat--

I wanna have a high collar.

To like a funnel neck,

straight up collar.

Okay.

I was on the fence with

whether I should do, like, a

really cool jumper out of this

with the blazer over.

What do they tie in?

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, I totally get what you

mean.

See Laura has that cut-out

fabric?

Yeah.

I don't wanna go in that

direction.

Kind of obvious.

'Cause to me that's so

visual, you know?

Yeah.

I want to do stained glass.

So I bought, like, transparency

in all, like, the paint colors.

Oh, okay.

So one I want to go in is

painted and then I wanna do this

really beautiful blazer.

It looks very you.

Josh's designs are

over-designed, which is, you

know, where Josh goes.

So I'm really trying to tell him

that he needs to edit.

See this?

Nice.

To cut all this out and then

just lay the plastic underneath.

It basically is the stained

glass already formatted.

Oh, you just cut out the

white.

Yeah.

It pops more.

Do you think it's too stark

though?

It is pretty stark.

Mm-hm.

Is Laura doing a stained

glass type thing?

At this point I don't really

care, she has nothing on me.

When I left, everybody was

loving each other and now that

I'm here it doesn't look like

the final five even really talks

to each other very much and you

can feel the tension.

So I was thinking for the

gown though, like, having the

back in mesh like that.

Because I have been getting

nailed on editing.

And, like, I am so capable of

just clean, clean work.

Yeah, and these fabrics are

so you already, you know what I

mean?

Yeah, that--like, I don't

need to keep adding so much

to it.

Mm-mm, you don't have to add

anything to it.

With Bryce's help I've edited

out my stained glass idea that I

was going to use.

You don't need to add every

idea you've got.

Right and this is about just

editing it and making it look

beautiful.

I think it's too sheer.

I think it's stunning but I

think it spoils.

It's distracting.

Yeah, I think you're right.

I like Anya, I think she's a

lovely, lovely person.

I definitely believe she's the

most talented, the most

creative.

She works outside the box.

Gotta do another layer.

Yeah?

It's okay?

It's fine with me.

Okay.

I get paid by the hour, so.

[Laughs]

See this?

Mm-hm.

Like, it doesn't have to be

so concentrated, do you know

what I mean?

I hate that I'm like--

[indistinct]

I'm really trying to prioritize

what will resonate best with the

judges.

I'm hoping that what I'm

bringing makes them still think

I'm going outside of my box and

that I'm trying to push the

limits to show them me.

Is it tapered?

Yeah, it's tapered.

I thought that I was--

Yeah, let's not have it

tapered, let's have it straight.

I really don't like this

strap though.

Oliver and I are working

pretty well, but when I explain

to Oliver, usually he kind of

doubts.

I just think, like, you know,

it's the last challenge and you

want to go a bit, like, rrrr!

Leave me alone, it's my

design.

Do it the way I want it.

I mean, I'm very confident.

Okay.

But thank you for your

concern.

I think sl*ve is really a

correct word, you know, we're

working for somebody else and

not getting paid and you know

they don't really care, you

know, they just want help.

And everyone's so nervous

'cause they asked for range and

it's, like, "Well, I'm sorry,

you're a designer, you should be

able to do a jacket."

And the fact that you've gotten

by on jumpers and dresses this

whole time, don't even get me

started.

[Laughs]

[Whispering] Josh is acting,

like, really strange.

He's, like, I don't know, like,

nasty.

There's definitely a

competitiveness that has entered

the room in a big way and I

really don't like it.

Like, for real about the

party?

Yeah.

I just had $20,000 swept away

from me by a beauty queen.

[Laughs]

Josh got pissed that Anya won

the $20,000 from the last

challenge.

It's, like, what was it?

The beauty or the talent?

Please.

Josh is jealous every time he

doesn't win the challenge.

So I think that for him to lose

the opportunity to win $20,000

probably pissed him off more

than a normal challenge.

Well, that just means you need

to get the hundred thou.

I plan on it.

Have a little work ahead of

us here.

I know.

I just think it has to be

kind of like how I did it like

that, so it looks more like

fabric.

Uh-huh.

I have already a jacket done and

Oliver finished his pants, so I

feel pretty good.

So the c*ck dress is

going bye-bye and I want to do

a--just a simple bodice top.

I'm making a gazillion changes.

As I go along I change from a

c*ck dress to separates.

I need to show them a range,

I need to show them something

new but give them some of my

strengths as well.

So this is gonna be a seam

here.

No.

That's what you drew up

there.

Just draw it really accurately.

Not quite so--

I don't know it accurately,

that's the problem.

Well, you if you don't know

it accurately I can't make a

pattern of it accurately.

I know, I know, I know.

Anya creates these really

complicated things, they're like

origami, and they're hard to

figure out.

It's quite a risk she takes,

'cause some of these things may

not work out and you just don't

have time to go back and redo

something.

Make sense?

Okay.

That's not a yes.

Okay.

[Laughs] Okay.

You cannot keep saying okay--

Well, yeah, okay.

I mean--

[laughter]

Sorry.

Do you like this color next

to this color?

No.

Yeah, I don't either.

So I'm in a little

predicament with my fabric

choices.

To remedy this, the first thing

I'm gonna try to do is get the

charmeuse to dye in some sort of

way.

Now that looks grey.

It looks grey-brown.

This plastic didn't work

well.

It's so difficult to work with

plastic.

Throw that plastic on, throw

it, throw it.

Do it, do it.

[Laughs] 'Cause the more plastic

he puts in, the better my

chances are.

Well, it's a quiet little

workroom.

I thought it would be bustling

in here with ten of you.

Laura.

Hi, Tim.

Hi.

First thing I want to show

you is my main inspiration.

Seeing all the circular

sculptures that were there was

really beautiful.

It is beautiful, yes.

So I had this idea of this

circle-covered gown.

This stencil is such a big

novelty item.

Mm-hm.

How do you feel about using

it in all three looks?

I think I'm using it in

different kinds of treatments.

There's just a lot of it.

Mm-hm.

Laura has a lot of dominating

shapes.

They're not gonna see the

silhouette or even the

construction because they're so

distracting.

I like just showing the

versatility of what it can do.

Sometimes the things you

really love the most just need

to be scaled back.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

[Laughs]

I feel good now.

Okay.

[Laughs] Thanks.

Thank you.

Kimberly.

Hi, Tim.

How are you?

Excellent.

One of the first sculptures I

passed was this one and the name

of it is New Beginning.

So I was, like, "how apropos."

Oh.

'Cause you had kind of a new

beginning in the last challenge.

I mean, everything about this

experience is a new beginning

for me.

So, um, what I'm doing here is

a coat.

It's gonna be asymmetrical.

Okay.

Are you responding positively to

the texture of that wool with

the textile for the pant?

Well--

it seems like there's an

awful lot going on to me.

I think Kimberly's design is

all her fabrics and they're

absolutely horrible.

It's so tacky, it's, like,

almost like a zoot suit costume.

And what's the Statue of

Liberty doing here?

This is not the Statue of

Liberty, Tim.

You sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

[Laughs]

'Cause it says statue to me.

This is supposed to be fitted

all the way down.

Okay.

So you won't get the Statue

of Liberty.

Okay.

Carry on.

Thank you, Tim.

Thank you.

Thanks.

How's Viktor?

So I wanted to go with the

structure of basically the

sculptures and the city, the

background and everything.

Like this jacket--I wanted to

make it kind of flowy.

Kind of like the water,

whatever.

But more importantly is just the

color combinations.

And this one is a little bit

more softer, it looks more

polished.

It just feels very organic,

it feels very you, and it has a

profound sophistication.

Oh, good, thank you.

Thank you!

All right.

Joshua, hi.

Hi, Tim.

So we're just kind of dealing

with this idea of soft and hard.

It's gonna have, like, a little

bit of an armor aspect, you

know?

This certainly does.

Yeah.

And I love the vest with this

mesh skirt.

Yeah, and it has this great

treated linen under it.

Oh, huh.

I just wanna keep it very,

very clean, you know?

And, like, there's definitely

little parts of me.

Oh, I didn't even see that it

was vinyl.

Yeah.

Josh, I don't know what he's

doing, honestly.

I don't like what he's chosen to

work with and I think it's just

kind of doomed.

But if it's done in little

bits don't you think it's

tasteful?

I'm intrigued, you know,

you're a risk taker, take some

risks.

You know.

Otherwise we'll really--then

they'll say, "we've lost you."

That's what I'm saying.

"Where are you in this?"

Like, and they haven't lost

me.

All right.

All right-y.

Carry on, gentlemen.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Anya.

So I began engaging with the

sculptures.

When you walk around the

sculpture, there's no one angle

that's the same.

Mm-hm.

So this is a simple c*ck.

Right now it's longer than it

will be.

The second one is a gown and

it's tied in the front and it

drapes in the back.

And so I'm doing one black,

one ivory, and one that's a

variation of rust.

Okay, they're beautiful.

And what is the shape of this

third piece?

It's a wrap, um, pant that--

Oh, you're doing a pant.

Yes.

Okay.

Well, because I feel that,

you know, there are already two

gowns and we were requested to--

We said range.

Exactly.

Anya is doing two dresses and

I think a pant and in terms of

range there should be at least

be one jacket in everyone's

three look collection.

Just keep your eye on all the

moving parts.

Yeah.

All right, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Tim.

Thanks, Tim.

[Laughs]

All right, designers.

Knock the judges' socks off,

all right?

This is the challenge that

determines who's going to

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Your models are coming in and

you have until 10:00 tonight.

Just work, work, work, all

right, everybody?

Make it work!

Thank you.

Thank you!

Thanks, Tim.

Thank you.

Hi!

Hi!

Hello.

Am I with you?

Yay!

Okay, this is gonna go over

your head.

Over my head.

But it'll be on the dress.

Like this?

Oh, okay.

There we go.

[Laughs] I should just leave

you like this.

[Laughs]

Just go down the runway like

this.

It looks cute, right?

I think the boobs doesn't fit

so well.

So I'm really editing myself,

but still there's so much of me

in this that I love, you know?

Josh has got this plastic

stuff on the shoulders of the

vest he's doing and this

metallic, plastic skirt.

It doesn't look like

sophisticated fashion for sure.

Y'all lookin' at my a*s?

Well, Hanna, you've got the

best view right there, that's

fantastic.

Oh, my God.

Her entire rear-end is

hanging out of the pants.

We don't have enough fabric to

re-cut them so what I'm gonna do

is maybe we can do, like, a--

Gusset?

Yeah.

And Bojana has nothing to do

today.

[Laughter]

I don't have the c*ck

dress to try on to Bojana

because we decided at the last

minute to scrap the gown and

make a new c*ck dress which

i haven't gotten to yet.

We'll see tomorrow what happens.

Kimberly's been changing her

mind every half an hour on what

she wants to do.

The fact that she keeps changing

her mind makes me think that

she's not clear on her vision.

If you're not clear on your

vision, how are you gonna win?

I have nothing.

I have nothing, I have nothing,

i have nothing.

You see how this is, like--

Straight, but that's also

'cause of how I did--

Yeah, it's not really on the

bias or whatever.

It's sort of c*ck.

I'm sorry, but we can--

i need to fix that.

I think Anya's totally on the

right track with this look.

It's gonna be a beautiful dress.

It's complicated in its

simplicity 'cause there's no

room for error.

Arrivederci.

[Indistinct conversation]

See you.

Bye.

Did you catch the end of it?

Her critique?

Huh?

Anya's.

No.

It's, like, where are the

separates?

Part of the challenge is range.

It just kills me.

You just need to focus.

Don't think about it.

I need to take that off and

resew it once I get this in.

Thank goodness for Becky

because I don't know how we'll

pull out three looks, let alone

all the changes I've made.

I don't know if I'm gonna

have time to get it all in

there tonight but I'm gonna try.

Okay.

Oh, is that the arm hole?

Yeah.

Oh, you did it wrong.

The right side.

Well, see what I'm doing?

I'm doing it right now too.

Uh...

You stitch it on the--

The right side.

And then you turn it, edge

stitch it.

Oh.

If Anya goes to fashion week,

I mean, she's a great designer,

she has great ideas, but who's

gonna sew her [bleep]?

Does she even know how to make

a sleeve?

I haven't seen a jacket, I

haven't seen real tailored

pants.

Always at this--oh, I'm

ripping something out.

Now let's see if this works.

[Laughs]

I need to get something to

drink, I'm gonna--like alcohol.

Laura is losing her mind.

Oh, my gosh.

This last look's just bothering

me.

My necklines, like, circle and

then circle in the back and

then it circles down and then

the hem circles.

And I just don't know if it's,

like, waah!

It's been a dream of mine since

I was 13 to show at

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and

knowing that, um--

i hate crying, okay.

Knowing that you, um, started--

I started sewing when I was

eight, so when it's so close you

get so excited and so emotions

take over and I think that I was

just destined to be here and to

do this and the top three is

exactly where I belong.

Oh.

All right.

Let's go.

Who has black thread? Anybody?

I don't.

I think I'm scrapping those

pants, I'm gonna make a quick

skirt.

You're scrapping the pants?

Mm-hm.

Okay.

[Laughs]

So it's the morning of runway

and I have a few details to

solve.

I'm scrapping the pants because

the pants don't fit so I'm

making a new skirt, hem the

coat, hem the sleeves on the

coat.

This waistband on the skirt,

put buttons on, the button

loops, the belt loops.

Yeah, that's a lot.

[Laughs]

Oh, [Bleep].

I'm pushing myself to the limit

that I haven't before and I feel

a lot of pressure.

My boss lady messes things up

and I have to clean it up for

her.

Good morning, everyone.

It's our last runway day, I'm

feeling very nostalgic.

All right, your models are

coming in momentarily.

You have two hours to send them

to the L'Oreal Paris makeup

room and the Garnier hair

studio.

The Piperlime accessory wall.

You know what to do.

Mm-hm.

All right, I'll see you a

little later.

Okay, thank you, Tim.

[Upbeat music]

♪ ♪

Hi, girls.

Hey.

Can you turn to the side for

me?

Do I just topstitch it?

I would hand stitch it, hand

stitch it.

You would hand stitch it on

top like that?

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Oh, it actually--actually

almost fits well.

Right?

Oh, my God, I had it right.

Woo-hoo!

I feel like they will take me to

Fashion Week, just because

everything has been very well

done and definitely me and Josh

should go to Fashion Week.

And to fight it off will be

either one of those three girls.

How are you doing, Laura?

These are not...Okay.

I'm--mm.

The pant and the brown have

thrown off the whole collection.

That's not working, so I decide

that I'm going to cut a skirt.

I know what I'm doing.

I think this boning is

creating some--

Okay, so--

Maybe you can, like, just

hand stitch--

No, I just need to cut the

boning a little bit more.

Oh, much better.

Josh just said "and then

we'll start the studying

process."

Only when you're working with

Josh m. Do you have a studying

process.

Green eyes with a little grey

liner.

A really bright Valentino red

lip.

Excellent.

I'm still trying to figure

out if we should just do each of

them as pretty and fresh and

dewy-looking as possible or try

to mix it up.

I like a cohesive look for a

cohesive collection.

Pretty clean face but then,

like, a heavy line.

Slightly smoked out and a false

lash and then just, like, a pale

gloss lip.

Thank you.

Your girls look gorgeous.

Simple, middle part, big,

wavy curls.

Okay.

I'd love to just do what we

did last week, that tight,

slicked-back pony.

So it'll be, like, bun-bun pony.

Okay, perfect.

I don't know if you know

toga-ring? Is that like a--

is that a word that you use?

What is that?

What they used to do to keep

their hair straight.

Oh, you mean wrap?

Wrap, yeah.

Okay, yeah, yeah, right.

I just wanna basically use

the hair to create sculpture.

So I want it, like, mid-head.

Not high but, you know, up.

Like right here?

Lifted, yes.

You look amazing.

Thank you, guys.

Good luck.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven.

I think that Kim's stuff is

really confusing.

Two of her garments look like

they have goiters growing out of

her legs, so I don't get that.

You don't wear plastic fabric.

How are you gonna wash that

stuff?

With a washcloth?

You know what?

It needs a--it needs--

Can I do it this time?

With your direction?

Yeah, but I like--okay.

There's no drape right now.

I've done that.

It's perfect.

I don't see a ton of potential

from Anya's corner.

I see quite a bit from Laura's,

but it's very bold and from

Kimberly's it's just looking a

little unorganized.

But I know Kimberly, she

normally pulls it together, so I

think the third spot is up for

grabs but I firmly believe that

me and Viktor have something

that will be taking both of us

to Lincoln Center.

It's so [bleep] little kid.

It's like she needs, like, a

Baton in a parade.

Designers and models...

In ten minutes, we're going down

to the runway for our final

show.

Ooh!

Great.

Thank you.

Ta-ta.

Thank you.

Wow.

This damn shoulder.

Um, finished the coat.

The big issues are the sleeves.

They're just horrendous, so

there's a possibility that I may

be on the verge of going home

and I don't wanna be in that

position.

All right.

Is that okay?

Yeah, I mean, fit's important

so, yeah.

I am upset that the fit is so

poor.

I would never, ever fit a

garment like that or send a

garment down that was like that.

This is the last challenge

before everybody goes to do

their collections.

So it's just really, really

unfortunate.

Designers and models, we are

going down to the runway.

Anya, what's going on?

It's going over her head.

Get her into that right now!

She's putting it on.

All right.

No, it's all wrong, it's all

wrong.

Anya!

First of all, I put Sveta's

dress on inside out, back to

front, all kinds of madness.

And then I see that the lining

is a little bunchy, you can see

the hand stitching on the front.

The fabric is too heavy so it

doesn't drape the way I want it

to.

There are lots of problems.

Let's run, run, run, run.

Is that everybody?

Thank you.

This is--this is the back.

Oh, I see.

Like, you need to be--

you need to be--

in here.

Yeah.

Oh, I see, okay.

This dress, if made

commercially, is gonna need a

set of instructions.

Yes, that's exactly what Bert

said.

Whew!

Crisis averted.

Hello.

Hi, Heidi.

Welcome to the runway.

As you know, in fashion one day

you're in and the next day

you're out.

Tonight we will decide who will

create collections and compete

at New York Fashion Week.

So we asked you to design three

cohesive looks that showed us

some range.

We sent you to Governors Island

to find some inspiration.

We gave you two days, $500, and

an assistant and we're very

excited to see what you've done.

Okay, let's meet the judges.

First we have CFDA lifetime

achievement award winner Michael

Kors.

Hey, guys.

All: Hi, Michael.

Fashion Director for

Marie Claire magazine, Nina

Garcia.

Hi.

Hello.

And our very special guest

judge...

Oh, my God.

Oh, my gosh.

Hello!

Hi, everyone, it's really

good to be here.

Zoe Saldana, actress and

co-founder of the leading

fashion industry resource,

myfdb.com.

We will score your designs as

they come down the runway.

Some of you will go to fashion

week, and one or more of you

will be out.

Okay, let's start the show.

With my first dress, which is

the cream with the netting, I

love it.

It's just a very beautiful yet

elegant dress.

I think the look came out

perfectly.

That's actually really hot.

My second look is my jacket

and my skirt and the studded

tank top.

It just looks so big.

It's not flattering.

But fake it till you make it.

I love my third look.

It's just really draped

beautifully.

I think, overall, I did a really

good job in tying these three

looks together.

And I firmly believe that my

concept will take me to fashion

week.

Turning heads.

The coat looks pretty good,

despite the things that have

went wrong.

I love the styling with the big

scarf, which is how I wear my

scarf over my coat during the

winter.

So I think it was great.

The separates look is beautiful.

I love the detail on the side of

the skirt.

It's different and unexpected.

And, of course, I love the slim

fitted top.

It just has a puckering issue

in the back, but other than

that, I wouldn't change a thing.

Sparkles.

It totally does.

I am most proud of the

c*ck dress.

Those are my strong suits.

I love dresses with a little

sparkle and glam to it.

It's me, and I love it.

I think the collection is

cohesive.

I think that the same girl will

wear all three looks.

So I'm pretty satisfied.

For my first look with the

cream blazer, I'm really happy.

I think it looks beautiful.

It's well-made, beautifully

pressed.

And I think this girl looks

pretty chic.

The second one is a full-flowing

c*ck dress that they could

absolutely love, or they could

be like, "I'm bored."

But I think the garment itself

looks lovely.

Oh, yeah, Meghan.

I really love my gown.

I think I'm using the latticing

in a really neat way, and really

working with it.

I'm proud of what I'm doing,

because I feel like I've pushed

myself.

I'm hoping that the judges see

the cohesion of my collection.

I'm thrilled with the black

dress.

It's very classic, very well

made.

I think it has impact.

I think it says something about

me, and I know that it's a

winner.

The rust piece that Karen is

wearing has potential, and I

think that it shows the judges

that I can produce garments that

have impact without using prints

and flowiness.

I love her red hair with

that.

The dress that Sveta's

wearing, I can see the problems.

But as a collection, I'm really

pleased.

I can just sense that I found

something in myself that I

didn't know was there, and it's

really exciting to me.

My mini collection is

cohesive.

It looked very, very good.

I love Erika.

She works that jacket so well.

Very rock and roll.

I'm very proud of the jacket.

I think the leather jacket looks

really, really cool.

Looks like it's ready to wear.

Yes.

Work.

I really like the second

look.

She looks stunning, she looks

edgy, and it looks pretty clean.

But it could use a little bit

more sharpness.

The last one, the black dress, I

love it.

It looks really elegant and

looks really good.

And it looks expensive.

Everything's just really, really

cool.

It's just a-mazing.

That's how we do.

We have scored your designs

as they came down the runway.

Some of you will go to Fashion

Week, and one or more of you

will be out.

Joshua, tell us about your

inspiration and your looks.

Governors Island is actually

a former military base, and

there was a chapel and the

battery.

So it was this idea of, like,

fragility and strength so close

to one another.

And the shirt underneath is

definitely inspired by the doors

of the battery.

And it ties through into Carla's

dress with this--you know,

instead of using a delicate

mesh, I thought this idea of

using something a little harder.

And then with Sonja, I put her

in a very beautiful draped gown.

It's unique to who I am as a

designer, and it's definitely

something that I can bring to

Fashion Week.

You showed a huge amount of

diversity.

Maybe a little too much.

Okay.

Like the girl who would wear

this draped gown I don't think

would wear the rah-rah skirt.

And I know you're, like, sick of

us hearing about editing, but I

do think it's an issue for you.

You certainly don't lack for

ideas.

I really like the concept of

the white dress.

What you did with the back was

really beautiful.

And I really don't like the

gown.

To me, she just looks like the

Statue of Liberty.

I like the gown, but I think

the fabric just looks really

inexpensive.

Perhaps if you lined the

lurex, it would not look so

cheap.

Why were you so attracted to

this lurex?

'Cause it was nice and shiny?

Is that an assumption?

I'm asking--what was it?

It actually has a really

great feel to it, and it drapes

beautifully, and I like the

heaviness that it created.

I think you're a little bit

of, like, a magpie, where the

glitter and the shine is really

turning you on.

And the problem with the glitter

and the shine is, it can go

cheap really quickly.

Thank you, Joshua.

Models, you can leave the

runway.

Kimberly.

So on Governors Island, they

had a lot of different

sculptures, and I was just

inspired by the structure of

them.

I wanted to do something that,

you know, I've never done

before, which was the coat, and

the top is the other side.

This has the texture and that

one does not.

And then for Bojana, basically,

we just did a cute little mini

and the brocade, and just kept

with the structure and sweepin

with the asymmetry.

I love the top and what you

did.

I think pairing it up with hot

pink shoes was really youthful

and sexy.

The coat, I happen to like the

fact that you tried something

different by putting the scarf

over the jacket.

All in all, um, wow.

You took risks.

The brocade dress, it is your

strongest piece.

The coat, this thing is like you

tried to tailor a coat out of an

orange paper towel.

It's like the souffle collapsed.

I think it's an odd color

palette to begin with.

It's kind of disco Halloween.

Also, I see three different

girls here too.

I see like a hot girl over here.

I see an exchange student from

Holland.

And then here, I see some crazy

girl partying in Las Vegas.

They don't really go together.

But I think the top of that

dress is beautiful.

I like the fabric.

Gives it a beautiful waist.

This actually looks

phenomenal, this dress.

But on this skirt, maybe just

leave it normal.

If it would have been normal,

then the problem would have been

that it would have been normal.

So I mean, it's six of one--

I don't really think so.

I don't think so.

Could have had a slit.

Well, I mean, it's just a

matter of opinion.

This has been a great

experience, and I've learned so

much, and I'm not upset by

anything that you guys are

saying, so...

Are you giving your good-byes

to us right now?

No, I'm just letting you know

that I hear you.

Everything that you're saying, I

already knew about.

You know, the imperfections of

the tailoring and stuff like

that.

That's what I'm saying.

Thank you, Kimberly.

Models, you can leave the

runway.

Bye. Thank you.

Laura.

Going to Governors Island,

there seemed to be just this

repetition of circles.

And so I really just, you know,

ran with that.

My first, initial thing was this

gown.

Just something that's different

and really stands out.

Then I wanted to use it in a

different kind of way.

So I wanted to do this

structured blazer, and then with

this one, I wanted to show a

little bit more of a casual look

for me, and then just

incorporating the same black

throughout it.

But something that would be a

little bit more casual for my

kind of girl.

You seem very nervous today.

It's a nervous day!

I mean, yeah...I'm nervous.

I mean, I've dreamed of--

okay, don't get emotional.

Okay. Um, heh, I've...

[Crying]

I've dreamed of showing at New

York Fashion Week since I knew

what it was.

Um, I've been knowing I wanted

to be a designer since I was

eight.

Wait, okay, okay.

I'm good.

Okay, let's talk about your

outfits.

Complicated outfits.

I have one favorite one.

That is the gown.

This dress has a lot of

potential.

Now, this look over here, the

skirt, it looks like you did it

literally the last two minutes

before she walked out of here.

I kind of did. [Chuckles]

Then there's this look.

It's quite a sweet dress.

It just doesn't really go with

those two.

Mm-hmm.

I really like the

latticework, and then that bold

piece of black.

With the second look, I'm not

too crazy about the silhouette

of that jacket.

And the third look comes from I

don't know where.

Okay.

It doesn't fit into this.

Zoe, what do you think?

From the ponytail to the

bangs and everything, there's an

'80s quality that I kind of dig.

It's like Addicted to Love.

The skirt for the second look

definitely looked like a slip.

With the third look, it just

looks like a pillowcase, and you

just tied, like, black tape

around it.

The gown, most certainly your

strongest piece.

Then we go in the middle...

And it's not even just the

skirt.

The jacket's very mom-ish

looking.

And then you turned the wheel.

She's literally in a laundry bag

or a pillowcase.

Like, to choke now and do this

dress is just a shame.

Thank you, Laura.

Models, you can leave the

runway.

Anya.

On Governors Island, as you

probably know, there's an

installation of work by

Mark di Suvero, the sculptor.

It's very dynamic as you

interact with the shapes,

because every time you walk

around it, there's a different

angle.

So the looks are meant to sort

of give you a bit of a taste of

how clothes can do that.

One is a little bit more casual,

one is a c*ck dress, and one

is a gown, so...

Just to show variety.

Can you girls turn around,

all of you?

I think there's very different

angles on all these clothes.

They feel very modern.

I like how they have very

similar hair and makeup.

And it looks like a concise

collection.

The black dress is really

great.

It's very modern, very fashion

forward, and yet so simple.

And I like the white dress as

well, but not as perfect as the

black dress is.

It's a bit like a sheet.

I think it's sophisticated.

I think you are pushing

yourself.

You also knew how to dress each

of your models.

A redhead in this color, that

works.

The white gown, you need the

tallest of the girls.

It's a column.

I think you understand women's

bodies.

I like your cuts.

They're very asymmetrical.

Uh, gives it sort of like a

futuristic tone, and I'm such a

Sci-Fi buff, so I'm--

I'm all there.

My least favorite, I guess, was

the gown.

It looked a little bit like a

condom to me, just a tad.

But I love how you put it all

together.

Thank you, Anya.

Models, you can leave the

runway.

Viktor.

Being in Governors Island, I

kind of was just looking around.

But, really, the tip of the

island kind of showed Manhattan,

and I really got attracted more

towards the city.

So I did a print to bring the

city-like type of buildings.

I really like the structure of

how the cowl goes on the side of

the hip.

And then the last one, I wanted

to make something just like a

simple, black dress, but has

structure, and just wanted to

make it very simple.

I'm amazed by what you can

do.

In terms of sewing, I think

you're probably one of the best

here.

In terms of ideas, I don't think

there are enough ideas in your

looks.

Me, personally, there's not one

piece here that I find really

like, "[gasps], I have to have

that."

I loved it.

I think the hair and makeup look

phenomenal.

I like the little touches of

orange.

You needed to maybe turn up the

volume a little bit.

Because this looks a little too

secretarial for my taste.

I would like to see just a

little more...Oomph.

I like the secretary look.

The draping of the skirt is what

helps it from it just looking

like a traditional, boring,

nine-to-five kind of uniform.

And the little black dress, I

have to say that the boning that

you used by--on the hip, I

really wasn't a fan of how it

just looked on the model.

And I would feel uncomfortable

to probably wear something like

that.

Okay, now I'm gonna use a

word that some people think it's

a dirty word in fashion.

You have the most commercial

collection here today.

These are the clothes that are

gonna sell.

These are the clothes that women

are gonna wear.

And they're polished, and

they're tailored, and, my God,

you could actually wear them to

work--wow.

I wouldn't mind the volume

turned up in general.

Because commercial and wearable,

great.

I just want to make sure there's

runway punch.

Thank you, Viktor.

Models, you can leave the

runway.

Joshua, why should you go to

Fashion Week?

Because I think with the time

to really sit down and do my

research, really focus my

fabrics, I will bring something

really great to Fashion Week.

What other two designers do

you think should go with you?

I think my first choice would

be Viktor.

He's always bringing something

unique, and I have the utmost

respect for him.

For my second choice, I would

probably choose Anya to go to

Fashion Week.

I went to school for this, I'm

trained in this, but with Anya,

as the sewing is new, she's able

to be free, and I respect that

about her, because it's not so

static, you know?

It's not so stagnant.

Those are my two choices.

Kimberly.

I believe I should go to

Fashion Week because I'd like to

change the face of Fashion Week.

I would like to change the

perception of what "designer" is

supposed to be, where she's

supposed to come from, and I

think I have the goods for that.

And who would be the two

designers that you want to take

with you?

Anya, because she is also

very new to it, but she has

grown tremendously.

And I actually would like to

take Laura, because I think that

the three of us together will

show a different Fashion Week.

That's who I would want.

Anya.

Regardless of the wonderful

things that have been said about

how much I've grown, I know that

my point of view is very solid.

And I know that it is unique.

[Choking up] And, uh...

[Laughs] Sorry, I can't--

I don't mean to cry.

But it means a tremendous amount

to have gotten this far, to be

so close I can taste it.

And it feels amazing.

And, uh, I think Joshua, despite

his editing issues, is the

opposite of me.

He designs in a way that is very

singular.

And his ideas are solely his.

And, um, in terms of what can

sell, what can work, then it's

very obvious, um, I would choose

Viktor, because I really think

that his work, quite obviously,

has an audience already.

Laura.

I feel that I came to this

with a, um...strong set of

skills.

And my drive to be here and...

[Choking up] God. Ugh!

My longtime passion for this

industry I think would only

intensify the show you'd see.

The two designers would be

Viktor--I think that he does

make garments that are wearable,

and like Michael said, that's

one of the most important

things.

I mean, you can't sustain a

business without that.

And then the second person is

Anya, because she has a natural

knack for silhouettes, and for,

you know, pushing herself.

It's unbelievable.

So.

Viktor.

I think from--coming from a

family who is an immigrant

family, even me, uh, my mom

being a sample maker and working

for a designer, I really didn't

want to do that.

But eventually, it caught up to

me.

I definitely embraced it and I

love it so much now that I can't

live without it.

And, um, probably Josh, just

because he has good ideas.

I love his tailoring.

And my second choice, and this

is just on design, is Anya.

She has a lot of beautiful,

flowy designs.

I think she's an amazing

designer.

Okay, we've heard what you

had to say.

We're gonna have a long chat

today.

And then I'll call you back out

on the runway.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

All right, we have a lot to talk

about.

Let's start with Anya.

I mean, I think that black

dress today was-

Gorgeous.

Yeah.

It was gorgeous.

We would all love to have

that.

And the way she styled it was

smart.

She really nailed it.

Same shoe, perfect hair.

Her clothes were strong enough

that she didn't need to add

anything, you know?

Yeah, you do want women to

wear your clothes, but you also

want to have that "va-va" moment

when they're on stage.

And I feel that Anya possessed

both qualities.

She definitely has good

taste.

She's a quick learner.

She's just very impressive.

She started with this great

look that was strictly tropical,

and now she's been able to

handle something urban and

architectural and very

sophisticated.

I have to say, she's been one

of my favorites from the

beginning.

And I would love to see her at

Fashion Week.

Viktor, I am super impressed

with his sewing skills, because,

really, everything looks like--

Oh, he beats the--he beats

the whole crowd, hands-down.

Those were the clothes that the

cash register will ring.

I think he's really evolved.

I think he's really listened.

I mean, if you remember his

casting rack, it was kind of

scary.

I was on the fence about him.

I think today's the most

conservative thing he's shown

us.

True, because he's usually

very fashion forward.

Normally, he's really out

there.

So today, he turned the volume

down, but we've seen him when he

turns the volume up.

No, he definitely has it.

He showed today that he can make

clothes for the mass.

Exactly.

He's a designer.

Let's talk about Joshua.

That white dress, I thought

it was very elegant and sort of

timeless--could have been '80s,

could have been futuristic,

could have been everything.

I liked the evening gown if

it would have been in a

different fabric, if he would

have kind of let go of all these

buttons up here.

I think, with some time to

edit properly, it could look

great.

I could take these clothes

and...

Rearrange them.

Rearrange them and sh**t

them for the magazine.

I mean, that little striped

T-shirt...

T-shirt's cute.

It's editorial.

That little white dress, it's

editorial.

It's...Fun.

The taste is questionable.

And sometimes, when he has too

much time, it doesn't work I in

his favor.

So what do you think how he's

gonna do if we send him home for

a few months?

But he has ideas and he has--

Better to have too many

ideas.

Too many ideas than no ideas.

Yeah.

And boring ideas.

At least it's fun.

It woke me up being like,

"what the heck is this?"

[Laughter]

Laura knows how to make

clothes.

Laura knows how to make

clothes in her sleep.

The gown could have been

interesting, but she looks like

a fence walking.

She looks like Spider-Man.

Yeah, then I'm like, "okay,

the skirt..."

Like Zoe said, it's a slip.

And then, all of a sudden,

what's her specialty?

Is her flowy dress.

And it looks like a pillowcase.

Technically, she's fine.

But she has no range.

What I do respect about what

she did was that she placed

those circles appropriately.

'Cause, had it been another

designer, the circles would have

been on the boobs.

A big, giant circle here.

And, like, two circles by the

tushy, and it would have been

done, like, completely done.

You know, the one thing,

though, is her attitude.

Laura was crying.

She wants this so bad.

And so, for me, I have more

passion for her because of that

today.

When you look at Kimberly,

the orange coat--

German exchange student.

Maybe she was trying to

challenge herself.

I certainly think she tried

to do something different,

because this is such an

important challenge right now.

I do think that she has had

some really good ones.

I mean, she designed that

outfit for you, which we all

loved.

It was fabulous.

We liked that one dress.

But it was because it reminded

us of your top.

Remember the girls in the

stilts?

Oh, yeah, the pants were very

impressive, and then she

continued to do those pants.

She did them some other time--

Why didn't she do them today?

I don't know.

Kimberly's clothes--

consistently, there's a vibe to

what she's showing us.

She's got that glamour quotient.

I get the girl.

There's so much potential

there.

There's design there.

So do we want four people to

make our collection, or maybe

only three?

You are the final five.

Some of you will be creating

collections and returning to New

York, and one or more of you

will be out.

You are the final five.

Some of you will be creating

collections and returning to

New York.

And one or more of you will be

out.

But only three of you will

compete at New York Fashion

Week.

Anya, when we started, we were

worried about your sewing

skills, but you have surprised

us in the best way.

We loved your looks, and we

can't wait to see more from you.

You're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you so much.

I really can't breathe.

I have to literally say to

myself, "breathe in and breathe

out."

Because I've stopped breathing.

I did not even expect to be in

the final runway and to be the

first one to be chosen.

There are no words for how

incredible that feels.

Viktor, we liked your

collection today.

Your looks were, as always, well

made and polished.

But, going forward, remember to

pump up the volume.

I will.

Congratulations, you're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Good luck.

From the beginning, I set out

to be the winner of Project

Runway, so I'm not surprised

that I'm here.

I just can't wait to go there.

I can't, I can't. I can't!

Congratulations!

Ohh!

Oh, my God.

You too.

You so deserve it.

Joshua, you had some good

ideas today.

We appreciate that you listen to

us and that you try to edit.

But you still have a lot of work

to do.

You have to avoid overworking.

Today, you're in.

You can leave the runway.

It's like a dream come true.

I mean, it's monumental to have

this opportunity.

I'm starting to write my book,

my history, which means, years

after I'm gone, someone will be

able to look back and research

this moment for me.

And...It's amazing.

[Cheering]

Congratulations!

Oh, my gosh.

I'm so, so excited.

Congratulations.

Laura, Kimberly...

One of you will create a

collection, and one of you will

be out.

Laura, you had some problems.

We know that, technically, you

are strong.

But we think that you really

have to think about your range.

Kimberly, today was not your

best day.

We did like that you tried to do

things that you haven't done

before, but unfortunately, it

didn't pay off.

Laura...

I'm sorry, you're out.

Kimberly, that means you will be

designing, and you will return

back to New York.

You can leave the runway.

[Crying] I can't move.

I'm proud of myself.

I'm not shocked that I'm here,

because I do have a point of

view, and I'm confident in that.

[Gasps]

So what happened?

[Sobbing] I'm in.

Ohh.

I say all the time, "on

paper, I'm not supposed to be

here."

If you just look at just the

things that I've been through in

life, period, I'm not supposed

to be here, but...

Yes, you are.

I've always had a dream

bigger than myself.

And it's not that Laura

deserves it any less, it's just

the way the cards fall.

Laura, we all hope that you

keep designing.

You are a great designer and a

great person.

Thank you.

Auf wiedersehen.

Thank you, guys, for all--

everything.

I'm definitely surprised by what

went on today.

I totally saw myself in the top

three.

Laura...

Hi.

How are you?

Fine.

I don't think I deserved to

go today.

I think that I have such a

point of view that so many women

want.

Tim!

I just hope you are so

unconditionally proud of what

you've achieved.

I mean, you're one of the final

five.

Yeah.

So congratulations for that.

Thank you. Thanks, Tim.

And I have to send you to the

workroom to clean up your

space.

[Blowing kisses]

We love you, Laura.

Love you guys.

Thanks, Tim, for all your help.

We love you.

Thanks.

Bye, honey.

I'm feeling very grateful for

this experience.

It's nice to have other people

around you that are representing

such different aesthetics.

Overall, this whole experience

has made me an even stronger

designer than I was before I

came here.

So, final four, let's have a

group hug.

Yes, Tim!

How exciting is this?

Congratulations to...

All four of you.



Next time on

Project Runway...

I'm gonna be coming to check

in on the progress of your

collections.

I'm really confused by the

dress.

Where I'm not so clear is the

actual garment.

Sad.

It makes me want to weep.

Whoo!

Welcome to Mercedes-Benz

Fashion Week!

I hope I make it, 'cause I

want this so badly.

Do we want to see the

remaining seven looks?

I don't know.

Now I don't know what to do.

I don't have any time to start

over.

That skirt is awful.

Oy, yi, yi, yi, yi.
