12x11 - Project Runway SuperFan!

Post by bunniefuu »

Lovely, civilized, relaxed--

Those qualities describe the

Woman you're going to be

Designing for.

She is a modern southern woman.

The winning look will be sold

At belk and at belk.com.

This does not look very

Modern.

I'm very disappointed.

It sort of looks like a

Purple nightgown.

Bradon, you are the clear

Winner of this challenge.

Wow.

Dom, jeremy, ken, for the

First time in project runway

History, I'm gonna send you back

To the workroom right now.

We would like to produce that

Hi, everyone.

I want to let you in on what

We're doing for this challenge,

Because it's one of my favorites

Of the season because it's all

About you, the fans.

Hundreds of fans submitted

Videos telling us why they are

Project runway superfans and

Why they need makeovers.

I am for sure the biggest

Project runway fan ever.

Here is a selection of some

Of the work that I've done.

This is made out of licorice

Allsorts, complete with a

Fascinator hat.

See my hair?

It's mom hair.

I need an injection of glamour

In my life.

We selected these eight

Uber-duber superfans to come be

Part of the show.

For most of them, this is their

First time ever in new york

City.

Do you think we'll go to

Mood?

That's where I want to go.

Whoo!

Yes! Whoo-hoo!

They are here to have the

Ultimate project runway

Experience.

[All cheering]

No way!

Tim!

Oh, my god!

[All cheering]

Pulling up to parsons is the

Biggest thrill ever.

So exciting!

I can't wait to meet all of

You.

Come on down!

I'm so excited.

Holy crap, it's tim gunn.

Like, wow!

Well, I want to welcome you

To parsons...

[All cheering]

And to project runway!

[All cheering]

[Laughs]

So we're going to have a tour

Of parsons.

Whoo!

So come on up.

So I hope you're not

Disappointed in any of this.

It's the real thing.

Oh, my gosh.

Wow.

Oh, my gosh!

Holy cow!

Just being at parsons, I am

Completely overwhelmed.

Okay, I gotta start up here.

[Laughter]

Attitude. I like it.

I feel like a model--a

Supermodel, actually.

You all are good!

Whoo!

So the designers don't know

You're here.

You are a secret, okay?

Let's head upstairs.

Oh, goodness.

Hide.
You've got to be quiet.

I'm just gonna start making

Something with muslin.

Good morning, designers.

May I ask you to gather round,

Please?

We have no idea what's about

To take place.

For this challenge, you will

Have new clients.

No one is more excited about

This challenge than your new

Clients.

[Laughs]

Good morning.

Oh!

I walk into the workroom.

I'm so excited and can't wait to

See what's gonna happen next.

Ladies, meet our fabulous

Designers.

All: hi.

These incredible,

Extraordinary ladies are

Project runway superfans.

Nice.

[Laughter]

They competed to be here, so

Each of these ladies is going to

Be given a makeover by one of

You.

[Laughter]

I'm so excited.

You can just tell they're all so

Freakin' happy to be here, and

They remind me how cool it is

That I'm on freakin'

Project runway!

Like, that's awesome!

This is the l'oreal paris

Challenge.

We have predetermined which

Designer is working with which

Superfan through our button bag.

It was all done fair and

Squarely.

Justin, you were first, and you

Are working with tristen.

[Laughter]

How are you?

I'm great.

I'm so excited to be here.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Alexandria, you are working

With stephanie.

Hi.

Ken, you are working with the

Lovely susie.

Hi!

[Laughter]

Dom, you are working with

Jane-sarah.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

You too.

Helen, you are working with

Jamie.

Hey.

Hey.

[Laughter]

Hi.

Over here.

Alexander, you're working

With andrea.

Oh, fabulous, let's get it.

Oh. Hey.

She has a great figure.

Very curvy.

I love that.

I think it's perfect.

This is gonna be fun.

Kate, you are working with

Altagracia.

[Laughs]

And, bradon, you have

Jennifer.

Hello. Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

I get jennifer, the one that

Didn't even need a makeover.

You and your superfan client

Should collaborate on this look.

You will have 30 minutes to

Sketch.

Then we're going shopping at

Mood.

Ooh, I'm looking forward to

It.

And you will have two days

For this challenge.

Oh, yes!

Yay!

Your 30 minutes to sketch

Starts now.

What have you always wanted

To dress like?

Oh! Oh, my god.

I am a mom of five, so I want to

Be a super hot mom.

Okay, okay.

What parts of your body are

You kind of self-conscious

About?

What do you like to play up?

Um, I'm comfortable in my own

Skin.

Yeah? Cool.

So yeah.

Thursday nights at 9:00, I am

Not washing dishes, not

Cleaning up after anybody.

I'm watching project runway.

It's my time.

I am mormon, so modesty is

Important to me.

Just as long as it's not, like,

Revealing, like, super plunging,

Super anything crazy like that.

Where do you want to go?

Who am i, and where am I

Going?

Yeah, like--

I'm just a regular new york

Woman.

Yeah, intimidating, powerful,

Sophisticated, classy.

I'm a suburban mom, but I told

Bradon that, while in rome, make

Me into a new york woman.

Give me an edge.

Like, I'll look like I cut a

b*tch.

Yeah, let's go as far out of

The box as possible.

I mean, I still have, like,

Some of the same clothes from

High school.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

'Cause, if I wasn't a

Lawyer, my dream job is to be a

Fashion designer.

That's awesome.

How old are you?

I'm 20.

You're in school?

Yep, I'm studying art

History.

Why the makeover?

What do you want to change?

As I go out, I need to get,

Like, internships, job

Interviews, that kind of thing.

You're in the art field.

You're going to get ripped

Apart if you come in looking

Really frumpy.

I got teamed up with

Designer alexandria.

She's really kind of

Intimidating.

I could do, like, a stripe

Like that.

Would that make me look

Bigger?

Like, the horizontal stripes

Scares me.

So what do you feel missing

From your wardrobe?

A suit.

A suit?

For work, yes.

Okay.

I'm great with suits.

I love suits.

I love making them, I love

Designing them.

I can do either pants or skirts.

I have enough pants.

You have enough pants?

I have enough pants, yes.

You want a nice skirt.

Yes.

She definitely wants to show

Off her figure, so I want to

Accentuate that.

What's the biggest reason you

Wanted the makeover?

I'm in fleece and jeans all
day.

I just want something glamorous.

I want something project runway.

I want you to be comfortable,

Though.

I want to be comfortable.

Okay.

But, I mean, as long as this

Isn't the bathing suit

Challenge, I think we're gonna
be fine, you know?

Designers and superfan

Clients, we are going to mood.

Yay!

Follow me, please.

Let's do this!

I can't wait to go to mood.

I just cannot wait to go to
mood.

You have 45 minutes to shop.

You have a suggested budget of

$200 To $400 on your gobank

Debit cards, all right?

So your 45 minutes starts right

Now.

They're off.

Watch out, swatch is there.

Oh, swatch!

Welcome to mood.

[Laughs]

All right, I'm taking you.

Oh, okay.

[Laughs]

Shopping at mood with jamie

Is so much fun.

I just grabbed her by the hand,

And she was so enthusiastic.

You see something?

I think that's going to read

More luxurious.

So pretty.

This challenge really isn't

About me.

It's about susan.

I want to make her happy, and

Looking at this green fabric,

I'm not that in love with it,

And my gut is telling me to go

Elsewhere, but she's sold on it.

Designers, time is up!

Everyone needs to be checking
out now!

Thank you for spending your

Budget on me.

It'll be great when we win.

[Upbeat techno music]

[Overlapping chatter]

Oh, my gosh.

Our models are superfans of

Project runway, and they are

Here for a glamorous makeover.

The one thing I want to get

From you is your autograph.

Okay.

So I can remember.

It may become the inspiration

For the design.

Excellent.

Since it is the superfan

Challenge, I wanted to give her

A garment that is conceptual and

Modern, in a way, and I want it

To be a one-of-a-kind piece.

[Overlapping chatter]

Can I have everyone's

Attention for a moment, please?

When you think about a makeover,

Of course we think about

Apparel, we think about fashion,

But it's a whole head-to-toe

Look, so I brought in an expert,

Johnny lavoy, l'oreal paris'

Consulting hairstylist.

Hey, g*ng.

[Cheers and applause]

Thank you for being here.

Designers, I'm here to help

You transform these superfans

Into your supermodels.

[Laughs]

And, fans, I've seen your

Videos, I heard your pleas, and

I hope you're open for change,

Because your makeover is gonna

Start with a new hairstyle.

Yes!

I'm gonna be using the

L'oreal paris feria line, which

Has power reds, we have midnight

Blacks, absolute platinums, and

Wild ombre, which is very

On trend for that dark-to-light

Look.

How many of you are excited?

Whoo!

Yes!

Yay, yay! All right.

Follow me, everyone.

We're beginning your hair

Consultations.

[Upbeat techno music]

♪ ♪

I don't want mom hair

Anymore.

Yeah, you don't want mom hair

Anymore.

I just don't have time to do

It.

I think what could be really

Cool and update you a bit is to

Do an ombre.

Okay.

It's a transitional color

From dark to light.

It's gonna have lots of shimmer,

Lots of dimension.

We're gonna take you from soccer

Mom to the hottest mom on the

Block.

Excellent.

How's that?

I can't wait.

I think it would just be a

Little more chic and

Sophisticated.

I'm gonna suggest for you the

Total repair 5 restoring system.

It's a shampoo, conditioner, a

Repair balm, and then the dry

Oil, so there's no excuse to

Have dry hair.

I love it.

To me, sometimes when I color

It, it has, like, a red hue that

Comes out, and i-i don't care

For the red hue.

Really?

Mother nature is telling you

You're supposed to be a redhead,

And now I'm cosigning for her.

[Laughs]

I can see you're a natural
blonde.

I think we really need to bump
that up.

Hmm.

And go blonde.

Let's commit.

So I think a highlighted blonde

Would be really beautiful on

You.

I'm in your hands.

I'm ready.

I'm so excited for her.

I think you can go really bold.

You're young, you look fun, and

I would love to see you in a

Power red.

It's gonna be bold enough,

People will be stopping you in

The street, saying, "I love

Your hair color."

I'm gonna recommend the color

Vibrancy system.

It helps protect your hair from

Heat, sun, and it's gonna keep

Your color lasting really long

And vibrant.

You have beautiful hair,

You have beautiful eyes,

And I think we should play on

All of that.

What I want to suggest for you

Is the beautiful multifaceted

Shimmering brown color.

By darkening it, it's gonna give

The illusion that it's more

Dense.

Great.

We'll give you a nice, blunt

Cut, and I'd like to take a

Little bit of this, because you

Kind of have some bangs.

I normally don't wear bangs

At all.

Well, if they're good enough

For michelle obama, they're good

Enough for you.

[Laughs] okay.

Rumor has it you haven't

Really had a hair change since

When?

Like, high school.

Since high school.

I mean, I don't normally take

A lot of time for myself.

Are you cutting your own

Bangs?

Both: yes.

Mm-hmm.

You have beautiful eyes,

You have great bone structure,

And I want to change your look

Completely.

I trust you, and if I'm gonna

Do this, why not do it here?

I'm not excusing his temper
tantrum.

It was extreme.

My thing is, I don't want to
sit here as if I'm the bully.

And I understand that.

I do want to say, the degree to

Which you exploded last night,

I would say to you, in merely a
caring way, there are some anger

Garment, and I'm very, very

Proud of it.

I love the signature thing.

Watching my superfan come

Down the runway is fantastic.

These are really wearable

Pieces, and yet they still have

A really refined and embellished

Edge to them.

I think I've delivered to my

Client exactly what she wanted.

I hope she feels as beautiful on

The runway as she looks.

Gorgeous.

She is owning that runway.

But I'm sending an unfinished

Garment down the runway, and

That is a big no-no.

On the runway, nothing's gonna

Save me.

I am most likely going home

Today.

When I see jane-sarah walk

Down the runway, I'm just so

Happy for her because I know

This is just a dream come true

For her right now.

She can walk.

I was very impressed with how

She handled that runway.

She looks really pretty!

It just was a really great show,

And I was just happy to see her

Look so elegant.

Alta is stomping it out

Better than any of the models.

You can just tell that she feels

Like a new woman.

That top is sick!

She's just glowing, and, win

Or lose, I've made her feel good

About herself, and that's really

All that matters.

Susan's happy, and she's

Working it, but in my opinion,

It looks like a couch from the

'70S.

The color is hideous, and I

Would normally never pick

Anything like that.

I know for a fact that I'm gonna

Be in the bottom again.

Okay.

Made something that worked.

I mean, it was a cute

Interviewing suit, and she
looked good.

The runway, I think all of her

Insecurities went out the door

Once she stepped up there.

She had no shame, just having

A good time.

My heart is skipping beats,

Watching her walk.

So confident, and she looked as

Beautiful as she wanted to feel.

Picture.

It is a huge transformation.

I love what they have done with

Your hair and your makeup.

It's very--it's more of a

Feminine look.

I also love, um, the signature.

It just makes it super personal.

How did you do the signature

On the dress?

It's actually white thread,

Using the sewing machine.

It just looks like beautiful

Embroidery.

I applaud you.

You made a personal, beautiful

Black dress, and tristen is

Glowing.

I was intrigued by the

Signature.

I didn't realize what it was.

Job well done.

Thank you.

Alexandria, tell us about

Your look and your superfan.

My superfan is stephanie, and

She's 20.

Uh, she's...art history student.

She asked me to make her

Something that she could

Interview with.

She likes modern art, so I just

Went with that.

I made the waistband a bit more

Modern.

The jacket just sort of

Feels sad and not inspired.

Is there something underneath

The jacket?

But I feel like it feels

Younger.

I do want to say, I think your

Hair color looks phenomenal.

I've seen from where it came

From.

I think it's a huge

Transformation.

I think it's gonna look good

When it gets wavy and curly

Again too.

Bradon, tell us about your

Look and your client.

This is jennifer, and she

Came with a list of adjectives.

She wanted to be intimidating,

She wanted to be powerful, she

Wanted to be classy, and with a

Major edge.

Jennifer, what a makeover!

Unbelievable.

Looking at your before photo

And looking at you now, it's two

Complete, different women.

The way it looks right now, the

Jacket over the dress, it's

Something that you could wear at

Work, and then you go out at

Night...

[Whistles]

You unzip this, like you did on

The runway, and then you have

This super sexy, super flirty

Dress underneath.

It's not boring, you know,

Because it has a bit of the

Sheen here and there.

It's fantastic.

I love the jacket.

On a positive on this dress, her

Body looks smashing.

[Laughs]

Uh, going down the runway,

And I had, "sophisticated, chic,

And powerful," so I think you

Nailed it...

Thank you.

With your description there

And your criteria.

Um, I love this vest.

The details on, you know, the

Shoulder, it's that power

Epaulet.

The detail on the actual dress,

I maybe would have liked in the

Leather of the actual vest.

It could have been quite nice,

'Cause there's something about

That shiny that maybe reads a

Little bit cheap.

It's a little

Plastic-looking.

Yeah.

You never thought of doing a

Whole look, head-to-toe, in

Leather?

No, 'cause she said, "no

Dominatrix," so I was walking

A fine line.

It's a very fine line.

Intimidating, but not that

Intimidating.

[Imitates whip crack]

Thank you, bradon.

Thank you, jennifer.

Thank you.

Alexander, tell us about your

Look and your superfan.

This is andrea.

She told me that she had an

Office job that she didn't

Really have any suits for.

She said she had plenty of

Dresses, plenty of pants and

Tops, so I'm like, "I'll make

You a nice suit."

She loves her figure, so I made

It really tailored and fitted.

Alexander, I have a few

Questions.

Okay.

Did you finish this piece?

No.

That's what I thought.

Something seemed off in the

Inside construction.

That's a time-management

Thing though, right?

Absolutely, time management.

I think the makeover is

Beautiful.

You have such a beautiful face.

I like your hair, your lip

Color.

It's really nice.

At a sketch level, this could

Have looked like a compelling

Idea.

Unfortunately, it just did not

Execute, and in fashion, I mean,

It really is all about

Execution in the end.

Right.

Thank you, alexander, and

Thank you, andrea.

Helen, tell us about your

Superfan and your look.

Well, this is jamie.

She is a full-time mom,

A full-time attorney that works

From home.

She wanted something sexy.

She wanted something blue, her

Favorite color.

She hasn't been in a formal gown

Since her wedding, hasn't cut

Her hair since--maybe 20 years,

She hasn't cut her hair.

So they cut a lot of it off.

And she came to project runway

With the intention of having

That makeover that was just long

Overdue.

How do you feel, jamie?

I'm speechless.

Um, this was a

Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,

So I wanted a once-in-a-lifetime

Dress.

The one big thing that we didn't

Want is, we didn't want it to

Look like a bridesmaid's dress.

I'm like, "I want an oscars red

Carpet dress and not a

Bridesmaid's dress."

[Snaps fingers]

So...

I mean, I'm looking at this

Photo here, and you are

Unrecognizable.

Your hair really was all the

Way down to your--to your hip,

And I love that you said, "I

Want an oscar red carpet

Dress," and that's what you are

Wearing.

I love it.

She looks spectacular.

Thank you.

The corset fits really well.

The color is perfect on her.

My advice is, just watch your

Seaming.

I love the choice of the navy

Blue with the little black lace.

It's really chic.

It looks so good with the hair

Color.

You walked down the runway,

And I nearly fell off my chair.

It's the most incredible

Makeover, and that's what you

Were here to do, and I think

You, as a designer, really, you

Know, you're a great testament

To that, and you look

Incredible in it.

Thank you, helen and jamie.

Thank you.

Ken, tell us about susie and

Your look.

Susie has a four-year-old.

She's a stay-at-home mom.

And she's always in jeans and

Flannels and t-shirts.

She really doesn't go out much,

So I kind of wanted to do

Something, so she could go to,

Like, little social events with

Her husband, like, throughout

The holiday season.

And she loved this green color,

And I kind of wanted to show off

The shape.

I like to show off a woman's

Shape.

Susie, I probably had the

Most fun watching you go down

The runway today.

[Laughs]

I did.

Not as much fun as I had.

And you were just sassy, and

You were just loving it.

You--you were so happy.

Thank you.

In that sense, ken did a good

Job.

He made you feel good.

From a fashion point of view, I

Do have to say, I didn't love it

Very much.

I feel like this green is a

Little bit sad.

Oh.

I feel like also, these lines

Are not doing you, you know, a

Whole lot of good.

Graphically, I agree with

Heidi.

I don't think the lines are very

Flattering.

The proportions are off.

The neckline, like, it's--is

It, you know, v-neck, is it

Scoop?

It's kind of neither here nor

There.

And even the combination of

Material, it's a little bit odd.

But I love your haircut.

It looks so good with the hair

Color.

Very flattering.

I think it looks really cute on

You.

Thank you, ken.

Thank you, susie.

Thank you.

Okay, we've heard what you

Had to say.

We're gonna take a closer look

At the garments, and then we'll

Have a little chat, and then

I'll bring you back in a little

Bit.

You can leave the runway.

You're--you guys, what?

You're the top.

Okay, good.

That's what we thought.

Finally.

I know. Get over here.

Who's top, who's bottom?

They did not like it.

Did your girl like it?

She loved it.

This was the runway--the

Challenge I was dreading the

Most, but actually, it's the--

The most fun challenge I've had.

Even though I'm in the bottom,

I had--i think I've had the most

Fun.

My girl wanted something to

Interview in, so I gave her

Something that she wanted.

But whatever.

They didn't--they weren't sold

On it.

What about you?

Well, they hated it.

But she loved it, though.

Yeah, she--

She was the happiest one on

The runway.

Yeah.

It was fun to interact with

Somebody in real life and give

Them something that they wanted,

So--

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hello, everybody.

All: hello.

With whom would you like to

Begin?

Let's talk about the looks

That we did love.

Well, jamie, why don't you

Come forward?

Helen did a great job.

You know what?

It's immaculately made.

It is.

It looks like it's out of the

Store.

Yeah, it's excellent.

I love this lace detail here.

It's just enough.

Exactly.

See, if this was from a major

Designer and it was sent out for

The emmys, the golden globes,

Actresses would be fighting for

This dress.

Beautiful job.

And your hair is also very

Cute.

Thank you.

I'm glad you did it.

You went for it.

Jennifer, why don't you step

Out, okay?

Bradon.

This I also love.

Why are you not loving the

Leather, the shiny leather?

This, I don't know.

I'd love it to be in leather.

I think it would look more

Expensive.

But, then, would it--

For me, it makes the dress

Pop.

I agree.

I think it would have all

Gone very flat.

They came like that?

He just--

No, it's like a trim that

Gives it a really nice power

Shoulder.

Yeah, it's so powerful,

Having that extra inch on either

Side, right?

It's great.

That mia farrow haircut is

Amazing.

Thank you.

Tristen, come on out.

Very nice.

Justin--he also did a great job.

It's incredible.

I have to see the stitching in

It.

It's spectacular.

Yeah.

And it relates to the cut of

The clothing...

Mm-hmm.

Which is really exciting.

I haven't seen anything like

That before either, where the

Stitching is done in a signature

Like this.

It's great.

I really like the seaming

Details here, which you can

Appreciate better when you're

Close-up.

Yes.

And, stephanie, could you open

Up the jacket a little bit?

Sure.

Like, ahh.

I'm not loving this outfit.

I love the hair.

I love that they gave you this

Vibrant, like, red color, and

The bangs are good, but--

I love the color.

It does not look like a

Custom-made project runway look.

No, it looks like off the

Rack.

There's no visual impact.

I did tell alexandria that I

Wanted something that I could

Wear for internships and for job

Interviews.

But you're a cool girl.

You know, you want something

Maybe a little bit more

Inspired.

Susie.

Hi, susie.

Come on out.

Hi, susie.

Ken had a hard time.

You know, this show is about

Fashion, and I'm sorry, but

There is not much fashion here.

It's a simple green dress that

Is not very well made.

It's just not fitting

Perfectly.

It's buckling in the back.

The zipper is going on a whole

Journey on its own.

I mean, I have to stand up

For him.

I said, "please don't do

Super tight all the way down,"

And I think that it just never

Got tightened too much because

He didn't want to make, like, a

Sausage casing and then have me

Feel awkward about it.

I feel you're better than the

Dress.

Yeah.

A lot.

Me too.

Andrea, come on out.

Last but not least.

Oh, yeah. Alexander.

Is this supposed to be edgy, to

Leave this like that?

Yes, I think he was trying to

Do, like, an edgy suit here.

This silhouette is actually

Very good for you.

And I do love that you show this

Amount of skin, I actually do.

This is actually perfect.

It needs a different fabric,

And he can't overdesign it with

All this kind of stuff here on

Top of it in this flap.

The design looked a little

Different...

Yeah.

On paper, than what I've

Seen, but, you know--

He wanted it to be, like,

Real.

He wanted to go

Sophisticated, but then he puts

A flap on your shoulder.

The six of you have the highest

And the lowest scores.

One of you will be named the

Winner, and one of you will be

Out.

The six of you have the

Highest and the lowest scores.

One of you will be named the

Winner, and one of you will be

Out.

Helen...

You are the winner of

This challenge.

Oh!

Thank you so much!

What a transformation.

Your gown was absolutely

Stunning.

Congratulations.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Did you win?

You have a sad face.

I won.

Aah!

Winning this challenge means

That jamie feels 100% beautiful,

And that alone is a win for me.

[Groans]

[Laughs]

Justin, great job.

You're in.

You can leave the runway.

Bradon, you're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Alexandria...

You're in.

You can leave the runway.

Good luck.

Alexander, ken, one of you

Will be out.

Oh, my god, that was intense.

Congrats.

My heart is beating.

I really thought I was out

Because I didn't finish it.

Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry, ken.

That means you're out.

Auf wiedersehen.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thanks for the opportunity.

Coming to project runway and

Making it this far in the

Competition was reassurance on

Myself as a self-taught fashion

Designer.

Oh.

Good job, though.

Come sit.

It's sad to say, but, um,

I'm--i'm relieved.

This was a boost of confidence

For me.

Mm.

I came in, intimidated as

Hell.

Really? You?

Yeah, because the lack of

Experience and education in

Design.

I think you've come a long

Way.

I think that you have a voice.

Project runway was only my

Beginning.

It pushed me as far as I could

Be pushed, and I'm very happy

With the experience.

You're happy?

I am.

Well, good, because I have to

Send you to the workroom to

Clean up your space, right now.

All right.

Okay.

All right, see you.

I still love you.

Bye, I love you too.

You too, bradon.

Bye, y'all.

Bye.

This is not the last of

Ken laurence.

Hey.

[Snaps fingers]

Uh-huh!

Expect the unexpected from

Me.

Next time on

Project runway...

This is the textile design

Challenge.
