Hi!

Hi, everybody!

Hi.

Welcome to the runway,
projec t runway season 12.

[Cheers and applause]
a different kind of runway.

[Laughs]
a different kind of runway.

Designers, welcome.

We're thrilled to have you here.

And, heidi, I was part of most
of the auditions, and I can say

Firsthand that this is
an incredibly talented group.

Well, I'm very excited to see
what all of you can do, but

Before we go any further, only


And, designers, as I'm sure
you know, we asked the

Project runway fans to choose
one former designer to return to

The competition.

They were asked to choose among
kate from season 11, valerie

From season 8, and ra'mon from
season 6.

And I think that designer is
arriving.

[Tires squealing]
yoo-hoo!

It's kate from season 11.

[Applause]
I'm back.

[Laughter and applause]
whoo!

Yes!

Like, I voted for you!

Hi, kate!

Hi, guys!

I was eliminated on season 11.

I'm a genuinely nice person,
but...

If you take the sleeve off,
it'll, like, sex it up.

I don't give a [bleep] what
they have to say.

I'm just feeling so worried.

I don't care if you're
worried.

Keep it to yourself.

You want to do a short dress?

There's only room for one cook
in this kitchen, and that's me.

I don't know why they even
brought her back.

Kate should go home.

Do you guys think she has
an advantage because she's been

Here before?

Yes.

You know, even I will
acknowledge that.

I will say this, though.

After the first two to three
challenges, no more advantage.

And I feel like you guys are
gonna expect a lot from me,

Getting a second chance.

It's true.

Also, you may have noticed that
we have an interpreter with us.

She's here to help communicate
to one of our designers.

When I first meet people,
they think I'm from a foreign

Country or something.

No, they're wrong.

I'm deaf.

Okay, now that you're all
here, we have some pretty big

News for you.

The winner of
project runway
season 12 will take home a prize

Package worth over $1/2 million.

Oh, wow.

I am totally blown away.

It is the biggest prize in
the history of the show.

I just cannot comprehend
that, because, like, 20 bucks is

A lot to me.

We want you all to go into
this competition confident,

Creative, and ready to wow us
all.

All right, timothy, tell us
about your look.

When the skydivers were
landing, the first thing that

I was thinking was paratroopers,
specifically in world w*r ii,

Hiroshima, and so there's a
story of the sadako and the

Thousand cranes.

The crane is the international
sign of peace, um, and then this

Sort of poetic travesty in the
front, and then contrasting one

Another.

The high heels are k*lling
me.

Timothy, did you steal the
shoes from your model?

[Laughs]
I just wanted her to be

Barefoot.

This was not one of my
favorites.

I think it's very muddled,
especially around this area that

You're struggling with the
fabric.

What is the layering effect
there?

I have the yellow parachute,
and then I layered, um, the

White over the top of it, um,
and then burned both the bottom

Layer and the top layer.

It looks like you found her
in the woods.

Like tinker bell at burning man.

[Laughter]
why is she not wearing any

Makeup?

Why did you not do anything with
her hair?

Uh, coming from a perspective
of, uh, sustainability, I just,

Um, instinctually just felt like
I didn't want to do it.

Well, I'm excited to have
somebody that is so conscious

About that.

However, you are behind a very
powerful cause, so I think that

You should work even harder to
make it as beautiful as

Possible.

I want to say something about
the sustainability.

By burning synthetic fibers...

Oh, absolutely.

That makes no sense.

And creating bad fumes in the
world...

I--exactly.

You're just...

Yep, mm-hmm.

Breaking everything you say
you believe in.

Totally.

Thank you, timothy.

Thank you.

Sue, tell us about your look.

I wanted to keep the
parachute itself as complete

Or integral.

I didn't want to cut too much
into it.

I wanted the design sort of
airy, but I wanted a certain

Amount of weight to it as well.

It's actually doubled.

And that sort of dictated to me
what the shape was going to be

Like.

It's beautiful how it kind of
bleeds from the orange to the

Red to the pink to the fuchsia.

It looked like a runway show.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

I like the sculptural quality
of the dress.

I like that it looks like you
took an object and morphed it

Into a dress.

It's very exciting.

Thank you.

I love that it looks very
sporty but at the same time very

Elegant.

I think the placement of the
ruching is very interesting, how

You did this on this side, and
then the waist, I love that

Particular ruching on that.

I thought the length in the
back was quite interesting.

I was curious to know your
thought behind that.

Actually, I was working with
what I had.

Oh, really?

Yeah, that's how I often work
is, it's the material that tells

Me what I can do with it.

Yeah.

And if it's too short, then
I'll try to make it as beautiful

As possible.

Your first result is very
exciting.

Congratulations.

Thank you very much.

Miranda, tell us about your
look.

When we saw the skydivers
jumping out, it made me really

Excited 'cause I got the
opportunity to do that when

I was in the army.

One thing I remember when I was
skydiving was how you could

Actually see the guides on the
runway and how beautiful of a

Contradiction that was, those
bright colors together.

Then when we got this black,
I thought I would add in the

Black, and this contrasting
color, I kind of--

So the black that you used
is actually not the parachute

Material, is what you're saying?

It is the--the extra
material.

So, miranda, the parachute
fabric is the color highlights?

It's the color highlights,
and then this--

And then the strapping?

This strapping.

I really love the silhouette.

I think it's very now.

I love the way you styled her.

I love her hair, her makeup.

It is a little disappointing
that it's not all parachute

Material, but I think the
touches that you placed are

Perfect--
great first impression.

Really beautiful, and
I agree--incredibly modern.

I would happily wear this and--
I can see you wearing it.

Yeah.

I think you have the most
polished piece up here.

It looks super finished,
even though you didn't use the

Material.

Miranda, I do have to say,
I have a huge problem with the

Material that you used.

This is the "unconventional
materials" challenge, not the

Unconventional inspirational
challenge.

Right.

So, yes, I like the
inspiration, but is it fair to

The other designers?

I understand.

For any challenges going
forward, be very careful.

She's a very tough judge.

I will.

I'll take your advice to heart.

Angela, tell us about your
look.

I wanted to be inspired by
the parachute, and so, in the

Silhouette, I wanted to mimic
the fullness of the parachute

And sort of feel like she's
still sort of wearing a

Parachute.

I saw your model walk down
the runway, and I was thinking,

"Something is missing.

Oh, yeah, the bottom is missing!

Pants, skirt, something."

I thought, just really long
and this billowy seemed like a

Muumuu, so I ended up making it
shorter.

It's got a very odd
proportion.

I mean, I understand it's very
simple, but it almost feels like

This is like a disposable
poncho.

I don't think you gave it enough
thought.

I wanted to see the back.

I thought that's a really lovely
kind of surprise--the pink

Underneath the blue and then the
thought with the pink in the

Hood, and I like the idea of a
hood.

The colors there work.

The graphic breakup is quite
beautiful and precise.

I was trying to, like, make
it chic.

Unfortunately, it's still a
runway, and you have to create

Effect as well.

Thank you, angela.

Thanks.

Bradon, tell us about your
look.

I really wanted to get the
feeling of being the skydiver,

Being the one falling out of the
plane and really getting the air

Pressing against your chest, the
fabric molding itself to the

Front and then flying out in the
back.

Bradon, I really, really
liked your dress.

Thank you.

It looks like a real
expensive dress.

It's nice that you actually used
the strings from the parachute,

But it doesn't look cheap.

I love this dress.

I think it's so beautiful.

I love that it's short
underneath.

I think it's an incredibly
thoughtful design, and I'm

Really excited to see what you
do.

Thank you.

The walking and the movement
of it is incredible.

I was so excited to see
something using parachute that

Would fill with air.

The cording I find a little
distracting and not the most

Refined on the front.

Can I see the back?

Let's see what the shape makes.

Yeah, I love the back, because
that's such a wow and surprising

And has movement in it and
texture and color.

I love the fact that you took
this light fabric and made it

Very dramatic and billowy, and
then there's this fragility to

The strings.

That detail kills me.

It's very fragile, and it's
holding this very dramatic and

Imposing fabric.

I think you did a great job.

Thank you.

Sandro.

I decide to do, like, a
aviator look in the early 20th

Century in editorial way.

It's all about people jumping
from the airplane, something

Active and sporty.

I mean, what is not going on
in this outfit is the question.

She looks like a slutty
cat toy.

[Laughter]
you've put so much energy in

Accessorizing her look, when,
really, the energy that you need

To invest is in the piece.

Okay, we've heard what you
had to say.

We're gonna have a little chat,
and then I'm gonna bring you

Back out.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

So something else we're doing
this season, something new--

Tim is gonna come with the six
looks, and we can have a little

Closer look.

Great idea.

So here they are, up close
and personal.

Mm-hmm.

I want to see the pink,
'cause I think it's interesting

That she layered this twice.

She had a tremendous struggle
yesterday morning, and I thought

I was walking into a disaster,
and when I walked up to this,

I thought, "this looks like
bergdorf's window."

Absolutely.

I think it's fabulous.

And the pin-tucking, partridge
pleating.

She draped this, right?

Oh, yes.

Now, this here, up close...

These seams--i couldn't see them
that well on the runway, but

When you see them, I mean, that
is so unflattering for--

Well, it's a dart, and it's
in the wrong place.

It pushes the boobs down, and we
don't like that.

Right? That seems not pretty.

We like everything...

Up and perky.

Up. Exactly.

This makes me dizzy.

Are you popping out?

Where did he get all this
jewelry, tim?

I guess this is jewelry from
the accessory wall.

A lot of it is.

Yeah, he used it all.

Yeah, he really did, didn't
he?

If I have one positive thing
to say, I mean, he did a great

Job here.

I mean, it's not like he has no
sewing skills.

It's not cutting in on the
sides.

But the taste of how he put
this together...

To me, it looks like costume.

I think also we should have
a closer look at timothy's.

I don't know.

I mean--
it's a little creepy.

I mean, it's an interesting
texture, but it sort of looks

Like a burn victim.

I like that he tried to do
something with the material...

It's such a hard fabric to
work in.

But I don't know if that
makes it better.

I mean, I want sustainable
fashion to be gorgeous...

Beautiful, yeah.

Because otherwise, it's a
disservice.

Agreed. Do your stuff, ya.

We know that you can make
this, like, really--

That is beautiful.

The colors, you know, the pastel
colors, and then that bright tip

At the end is so pretty.

It's really cool.

It has a wow factor.

Let's have a look at
miranda's.

Here is my problem.

She used more of the
supplemental material than the

Actual parachute material.

I love the concept, though,
of the top and the skirt.

Sometimes you can see that big
gap that becomes a bit tacky,

And I think that she had a
precise eye with how much is

Just enough.

Tim, how do you feel about--
uh, that she used not the

Material that she was supposed
to use?

Well, the teacher in me would
give her an "f," to be perfectly

Honest, and I told her that.

Thank you, tim.

Thank you very much.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, models.

I have to say, I really loved
looking at the clothes up

Closely.

The veil of the runway is
lifted.

Let's talk about sandro.

Oh, boy.

I'm really worried about his
taste.

However, I thought it was
interesting that he did that

Bathing suit.

There was construction there.

Especially seeing it up
close, it held up.

The question is, is it always
gonna be way too much and too

Many ideas?

Let's move on to angela.

It looked like a smock
a dental hygienist would wear.

The back she ex*cuted better
than the front.

Unfortunately, it was really
sloppy.

Let's discuss timothy.

I mean, this was ugly.

The front didn't match the back.

It was kind of like two outfits
glued together.

He seems sweet, but to make
such a strong statement with her

Barefoot and then him in glitter
high heels...

I know.

His kinky boots.

I know.

Let's discuss sue.

I was very impressed with
this dress.

The dress was an interesting
cut.

It looks very easy, but
I don't think it was easy.

And as sporty as it was, it
actually had the most couture

Techniques in it than any of
the designs we saw.

Bradon did a fantastic job.

Mm-hmm.

Volume, drama.

I mean, when you have that much
fabric, and it's so light...

Yeah.

I mean, there were a lot of
concepts in the outfit, from

Cording to strapless neckline to
then straps.

It worked, and it didn't look
overworked.

It worked in front of us on
the runway.

What are we going to do with
miranda?

She was in the top, and then we
learned that she did not follow

The rules.

Tim was not happy.

I'm not happy either, to be
honest with you.

I know you're not.

If you look at what is the
percentage here, what, 15% she

Used the parachute?

It does reflect her concept
of the runway with the landing

Lights.

Yeah.

I can see that here.

And I love the fact that she
used the buckles in the back.

Part of what makes this outfit
interesting are the parachute

Details.

I just always think, "is it
fair?

What do the other designers
think about this?"

And then they say, "oh, you
know, the judges, they're cool.

They let miranda slip by."

You know what I mean?

Yeah, we must set precedent.

Okay, so we've made our
decision?

Okay, let's bring them back out.

You represent the highest and
the lowest scores.

One of you will be named the
winner, and one of you will be

Out.

After our discussion, we
changed things around a little

Bit.

Two of you were in the top,
and four of you are in the

Bottom.

Miranda, you did not follow the
instructions, and now you are at

Risk for going home.

Bradon...

You are the winner of this
challenge.

Wow.

Congratulations.

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much.

This also means that you have
immunity for the next challenge.

Wow.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

I can't believe I won the first
challenge of
project runway.

It's amazing.

[Overlapping chatter]
hey, you're back.

Are you a winner?

That's amazing.

[Cheers and applause]
I've been doubting my

Confidence level as a fashion
designer only because I had so

Much confidence as
a professional dancer.

[Overlapping chatter]

Today my confidence level just

Rose a little bit.

it's definitely depressing.

I definitely regret that
I didn't complete the look in

The way that I originally wanted
to complete it.

Hey, guys.

Angela.

Aw.

I know.

[Laughter]
thank you.

It's really difficult to accept
what's happening.

This is the moment when
I would use the tim gunn save

Or rescue, but it's only our
first challenge.

It's entirely too early in the
season.

Listen, I just have to tell you
something.

Had there been a pair of
pants...

Yeah.

It would have been a very
different story.

They didn't dislike your top.

I hope they liked something.

You're a very talented
designer, or you wouldn't be

Here.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Well, I have to send you to
the workroom to clean up your

Space.

Thank you.

I still plan to show a
collection at fashion week

Somewhere, not with all the big
designers, somewhere off in a

Gallery to the side, and
hopefully I can get past this

And not let it keep me down.

This season on
projec t runway...

Over $30 million worth of
jewels.
