07x02 - The Fashion Farm

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Project Runway...

- Go!
- Three minutes.

- [Screaming]
- Mad dash.

I don't know how to do this.

We get to design our own thing.

My first design... color, style, and fit.

I find it disturbing.
It was an afterthought.

Yeah.

Just clean it up.

I cannot send it down the runway.

Why would you introduce
a poor supporting player?

Well, I didn't introduce her.
I just introduced her to you.

I think my dress
very well could get me the win.

- She looks like a Hershey chocolate bar.
- Okay.

[Michael]
Sewn terribly.

The hem was the worst.
There was just nothing.

- Emilio, congratulations.
- Yes.

- Yes!
- You are the winner of this challenge.

I'm sorry, Christiane.
That means you're out.

Ping, you choose which one of them
will be in and which one will be out.

I want to stay with Elizaveta.

- Thank you.
- I'm sorry.

[Heidi]
Kelly, that means you're out.

This is Project Runway.

- Yes!
- I am fashion. Look at me.

The search for the next
big fashion designer.

It's cut or be cut.

Just make it work.



- Great clothes.
- Great style.

I've got it all.

Three finalists will make it
to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

- Well, I won't do anything to win.
- I will.

But only one can be the winner.

My weapon of choice.

For these 16 designers,

Project Runway
is the chance of a lifetime.

The winner of Project Runway will receive

a fashion spread in marie claire magazine,

an opportunity to sell their line
on Bluefly. Com,

a $50,000 technology suite

to create, design and run their business

from HP and Intel,

and $100,000 from L'Oréal Paris

to launch their line.

Come on, Jesus. Get up.
Come on. Get up.

Gosh. The worst feeling...
being in the bottom three.

It felt horrible. I wasn't expecting it.

But you can never know
what to expect from the judges.

I need to step up the game,
and I need to be more creative on my gowns.

I'm sure we'll do well this time.

Much better than the first time.

Did my rollers come out of my hair?

[Laughing]

It's too early. [laughing]

- You excited?
- Yeah.

- Challenge.
- I actually teared up

when Christiane walked in
and we were saying goodbye.

That's gonna happen
one by one to so many people

until there's just three left.

So I'm just glad that I make it through.

I hope we do something
that's, like, very New York.

Like, weird, eccentric
New York, you know?

Yeah, 'cause we'll go to Mood today.

- Get your a*s off the counter.
- I gotta finish my coffee.

- It's okay.
- Come on.

Come out.

Hello.

[Designers]
Hi, Heidi.

Emilio, you won the last challenge,

which gives you immunity
for this challenge.

- I'm very happy.
- Congratulations.

Thank you very much.

In this next challenge, we really
want to see what you're made of,

so we're sending you
on a little field trip

to a place that is, well,

a little out there.

[Chuckling]

[Janeane]
Sneaky, tricky Heidi.

I don't know if we're going to the moon.

I don't know if we're going
to a Broadway show.

Good luck,
and I'll see you on the runway.

- Bye.
- [Designers] Bye.

[Heidi] There's some question
marks over everyone's head.

[Jonathan]
We are at a farm. And as we walk up,

we see Tim standing there

with all of our models
wearing potato sacks.

[Laughing]

[Chattering]

- Good morning, designers.
- [Designers] Good morning, Tim.

Welcome to Adma Farm.

- It's beautiful, isn't it?
- Yes.

You've heard the expression,
"She's so beautiful,

she'd even look great in a potato sack?"

- Yeah.
- Well, you're going to prove that point.

For this challenge, you will be creating

a party-worthy look out of potato sacks.

- [Designers] Ohh!
- [Laughter]

Oh, my God.
We're making something out of burlap.

The first thing I'm thinking...
what am I gonna do?

Like, what are our options?

[Seth Aaron]
This is really exciting for me.

The more odd, foreign challenges,
the better.

There is more.

The models are your clients,

and they're going to be wearing
the look that you create

to a special industry event.

So our model is our client,

meaning that they get to have
a really serious input

in how the garment is put together.

And owing to the fact that
the models are your clients,

they're going to choose
the designer with whom they want to work.

When we learn that
the models get to pick us,

it was sort of unsettling

because on top of making a dress

with a burlap sack,
now we have to be wanted.

First up is...

Kasey.

Jay.

- [Screams]
- [Laughter]

[Tim]
Aah.

Jesus.

Emilio, get over here.

All right, mama.

I'm gonna stick with the lovely Anna.

Yeah, baby!

I would still like to have Ben.

I'd love to work with Ping again.

Thank you.

Seth Aaron.

Maya, come on down.

Pamela, you're hired.

I'll make you hot.

We have Alexis next.

I'd like to choose Anthony.

[Squeals]

Okay.

Alexis decided to go
with Anthony instead of me.

It kind of just makes me go,
"Hmm," you know?

What's up with that?
Like, did she hate my design?

Jesse.

Whoo!

[No audible dialogue]

I think I'm gonna go with Amy.

[Mutters]

And then there were two.

Valeria.

Uh, it's a hard choice, but...

Janeane, I really like your design. Please.

Oh, yay. Thank you so much.

You like me! Hi!

What am I, chopped liver?

So Mila is the last designer standing.

You can join the last model
standing, Lorena.

- All right! Hey, Lorena.
- [Cheering]

Mmm.

Designers and models,
now you are going to go shopping

at our farm stand.

There are a lot of embellishments.

Shop thoughtfully
and very strategically.

You will have one day
for this challenge.

You can start shopping right now.

- Fifteen minutes.
- Come on!

We've got to make a burlap sack
look like amazing fashion.

I'm interested to see what happens.

Black is too safe.

We get to choose from
a variety of ribbons,

horsehair, zippers, buttons, you know.

So you're kind of like

half trying to have
a consultation with your model,

half trying to shop.

I love to dye things.

I think that it's important
for me to keep my aesthetic.

So if someone, you know, tells me,

"I want it to be this,
this, this, and this,"

and pretty much
designs the whole dress,

that is very difficult for me.

I have an idea already.

I want to play with the texture
of the potato sack.

I think I can create a very interesting,

very simple garment.

This is really, like, feminine.

Lorena and I started talking,

and as it turns out,
we have some similar tastes, I think.

Her idea of a cute dress
would be something

that's flattering but edgy
at the same time.

So I think it's gonna be great.

Designers, models,
one minute remains.

I like hippy, flowy...

Alexis already is proving to be very...

verbal about what she wants.

Like, sparkly, too, and, like, a party dress.

I would like to make Alexis happy

without sacrificing my staying here,

period.

Time is up.
You must stop shopping now.

So grab your potato sack
and follow me.

[Jesus]
Follow Tim.

Working with burlap is not that bad.

I think the problem is trying
to make it look expensive.

No one wants to look like
they're wearing a burlap sack.

So that's the real challenge.

Designers, you have the raw materials
of your challenge.

Your models are indeed your client,

but don't lose sight
of who you are as a designer.

You have until midnight tonight,
so make it work, everybody.

- Yes!
- Thanks, Tim.

- Make it work. Thank you.
- Bye, Tim.

If there's one challenge

to have immunity in,
I think this is the one.

You have to create something
that they're gonna wear to an event,

and you're using one of
the most basic fabrics in the world.

Burlap is probably as old as Moses.

So Brittany wants
a hoochie, sexy dress.

I'm gonna make her look really sexy,

and I'm just gonna add a lot of detail,

using ribbon on the dress.

Getting a light brown
to turn blue is not gonna be

the easiest thing in the world,

but luckily, I learned
how to do an ombré,

where a color shades
from one color to another.

So the kind of challenge we got
seems to fit me perfectly.

This design is gonna be just

very voluminous
and gathered and billowy.

The center will overlap and open up

when she walks to kind of look
like an upside-down flower...

like a tulip,
like the petals are opening up.

I think it's very important
to make my model happy.

I mean, as witnessed today,
I mean, I can't help but wonder,

was my former model not happy
with me and my design?

[Mila]
It's funny that she would pick you over me,

because I thought we had a fine rapport
together and everything, so...

Mila has decided that
she wants to confront me.

I know what the behind thought process
for that statement was.

Basically, I know that
I sew better than you,

I design better than you,

so I can't even imagine
why she would choose you.

- Yeah, whatever. It's her loss.
- Ooh.

- [Mila] Not about you. Not about you.
- [Anthony] Okay. Don't worry.

About me.

I left my feelings in Atlanta, Georgia.

I know that it is a competition,

so being courteous sometimes
isn't an option for some people.

But Mila can kiss me
and my entire family's asses.

Coming up on Project Runway...

This treatment is gonna be
one of these two.

- Really?
- I don't know.

I'm flabbergasted.

Forgive the pun,
you skirted the challenge.

[Emilio] This is a one-day
challenge, and time is an issue.

The fact that you're using burlap,

which is a very difficult
material to work with.

A lot of designers
are not gonna be able

to execute the vision
that they have in their mind.

I know my way of working
is very different,

but I was among
the top three designers,

so I feel more comfortable and confident

of my way of doing things.

Oh, my God!
You're doing potato prints.

As we were grabbing trims,
I also grabbed a couple potatoes

and began immediately thinking
about how I could use them

and the dye to print a pattern in the fabric.

Hi, everybody.

- Hey, Tim.
- Hi, Tim.

I'm going to check in with all of you
a little on the earlier side

because I'm eager to know
what you're doing.

And since I'm here,
I'll come to you, Pamela.

Well, I'm working on a dress
that's a bustier corset dress.

- This ombré is fabulous-Iooking.
- Yeah. Thank you.

- I love doing it.
- How'd you do...

That's one of my specialties.

- We have the corset.
- Yeah.

- What's happening below the corset?
- It's all one piece.

Should it be one piece?

I kind of like it that way.

[Chuckles]
I mean, when it's on the runway...

- Yeah.
...no one will know

if it's one piece or it's two.

But I'm just thinking
purely from a logistical aspect,

from a time aspect
and from a fit aspect,

isn't that much more complicated

to have this be a single piece
than to have it be two?

It could be, except for that
I finished the bodice already.

- All I have to do is lay it on top of this...
- All right.

...so now it's mostly all straight seams.
- If you're confident,

- I'm with you.
- Okay.

- Okay. Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Mila.
- Hi, Tim.

What's going on?

Well, this treatment in the front,

and the center front and center back,
is gonna be one of these two.

Now, the other thing that I was trying
to incorporate is this tulle.

Just a tiny little bit of it
around the neckline, with a raw edge.

- Can I just ask you why?
- The model really liked it.

She gravitated towards it.
No. I know. I know.

That's compromising the integrity
of what you're doing.

- It's a non sequitur. It doesn't belong.
- I'm glad you said that

because I was trying to figure out
a way to use it.

- Don't.
- Okay.

We don't need to see this.

- Go sew.
- Okay.

- All right.
- Thanks, Tim.

So how's Jay?

I'm doing something my style.

And you're treating the edges
of all of that?

Yes. So these things will pop out
because they're so bright.

- So they're going on after you dye it?
- Yes. After.

- And you're not worried about time?
- Mm-mm.

- Really?
- Yeah.

All this has to be dyed, it has to dry,

and everything's going to have this trim?

Yes.

L-I'm flabbergasted.

- I'll try.
- All right.

I'm gonna leave you alone right now.

- Okay.
- Because do this.

I'm just glad I'm not in your shoes.

- Okay. Thank you so much.
- All right, Jay. Thank you.

- Hi, Ping.
- Hi, Tim.

- Talk to me.
- I want to create

a neck like a necklace.

Here it will be solid.

So you're carving it, basically,
out of here.

- Exactly.
- Got it.

I find it intriguing.

Yes, I know. I'm always intriguing.

And then my model
just wanted something

that make her legs longer.

Then where does the skirt end?

Skirt end should be short.
I told her it's gonna be short.

Okay. Because, can I just tell you,

if it's just an inch or two
below her crotch...

Mm-hmm.

...that runway is elevated...
- Oh!

Those judges can look...

- [laughing]
- You don't want it to be vulgar.

- That's my point.
- Right.

Okay, I can lower it. No problem.

I can just play this part.

I will just say this,
you have a lot of work to do.

- I know.
- Okay, go to work.

- Thank you.
- Thank you, Ping.

Thanks.

- How's Amy?
- Um, just have the skirt.

I have eight panels,
and five of them I still have to dry.

- Okay.
- So I'm a little bit concerned about that.

But I love the treatment of them.

So I did kind of like a dip dye
with two different colors.

What's the shape of the tone?

My model wanted an open back

She wanted puffy sleeves with a cuff.

Oh, geez... You're the designer.
It doesn't sound like you.

No. No, it doesn't at all.

If the judges don't like the look,

they won't care if your model does.

That's true.

- Okay?
- Okay.

- Make it work, Amy. Thank you.
- Thanks, Tim.

- Jesus.
- Yes, Mr. Tim.

What are you up to?

Well, my model's Brittany.

She has an amazing body,

so she wanted
a really, really fitted skirt.

The skirt's going to be like this,

and I'm going to use
this thicker ribbon

to make it thicker as we go

and then add this.

So is the burlap
completely disappearing?

Um, yes.

The challenge was to work
with a potato sack.

The skirt's a hundred percent ribbons.

Where's the potato sack?

Underneath.

I think that's a problem.

It's not intended to be
a potato sack undergarment

on which we have
a hundred percent embellishment.

I would say, forgive the pun,

you've skirted the challenge.

- Okay?
- Okay.

- All right, Jesus.
- Thank you, Tim.

Think, think, think,

and then work, work, work.

I did cover all the potato sack thing,

but I think it was just
one of those details

that I think that made
my dress look c*ck and evening.

It's going to look good
on the runway,

and I have to be Jesus.

All right, designers,
we'll have a big runway show,

and I want those judges socks

to go blowing off their feet.

I'm sending in your models.

Okay?

So make it work. I'll see you tomorrow.

- Thank you.
- [Woman] Bye, Tim.

[Ping]
Oh, come in, come in, come in.

Come in, come in, come in.

You know... you know,
okay, here's the idea.

I can't believe how pretty it came out.

[Laughs]

Sarah is liking the idea

that we're doing the bare shoulders

and that we're sculpting it in.

So it'll be a little sexy
but not totally naked.

[Amy] Alice had an idea of what
she wanted her dress to look like,

which is why it was even more important

that if I was going to stick with my
aesthetic and my idea,

it was going to have to blow
her away no matter what.

I really want to get you
into it, see how...

I want to make sure
your buttocks are covered.

Yeah, let's make sure
the buttocks are covered.

That would be nice.

I love Ping. She's very good
at that Asian influence look,

but her lack of experience
in actual constructions scares me.

Now, okay, keep it on.

Why did Tim say he was worried?

He said because I used
too much ribbon,

so you have to sell it.

[Jesus]
Brittany loved the dress,

but she was also a little concerned
about what I had told her

that Tim had told me,
but I'm really confident.

I feel that she's going
to back me up in the runway,

and I feel that I'm still going to be

in the competition at this point.

It's not as low as I wanted it to be.

There was a few things
that I was thinking of,

so I just want to put it out there.

I wanted to know what you thought
about the buttons

and the fringy thing.

Alexis is wanting blue buttons
on a c*ck dress.

I don't know.

That looks so cool.

I'm glad you're happy.

My model really digs the design,

so in a way I felt that I was blessed

to have Alexis dis me basically.

You're going to be sultry.

- Oh, perfect.
- Go, go, go.

You've got your work set out for you.

And come on time.

Okay.

I am okay on time at this point.

People who are dying their fabric

are definitely at a time disadvantage.

It's literally just a disaster area
for everyone involved.

Oh, my God,
why is this navy blue?

The base of the skirt
turned out navy blue,

and that's not the color
that I'm looking for.

[Bleep]

It's very stressful
to find myself in a situation

where I'm half done at midnight

the night before the fashion show.

Coming up on Project Runway...

Yeah, push them up, baby.
Push them up.

Everyone's very panicked.

I just wanna finish my garment.

We're going down to the runway now.

I hope my dress gets done on time.

Okay, I have a few things still to do.

I've got to turn up the hem,

and I've got to fine tune
the back closures,

and I don't want to be
one of those people

that sews people into their dresses.

You'll be fine.

- Yeah.
- Have to put on your game face.

Don't let them know
that I'm terrified.

Shoes or boots?

Shoes or boots?

Soon as I get
to the workroom, though,

I'm going to be in full adrenaline mode.

There comes a point where I almost feel
like I'm not gonna finish.

I know.

I'm freaking out
about the fact that I have a lot to do.

I just want to finish my garment.

Come on, guys, let's go to Parsons.

Parsons, here we come.

Okay.

So, Janeane, how's yours coming?

I have a few things to do.

- Yeah, me, too.
- Yeah.

I am stressed for time,

which is... I'm getting
used to at this point.

That coffee did not do its job.

He just put this through.

I pulled it through,
and now it won't work.

Oh, it's attached
to the zipper, too, so no. Okay.

Good morning, everybody.

[Designers]
Good morning, Tim.

All right, designers,
you have two hours

to send your models
to the L'Oréal Paris makeup room

and the Garnier hair salon.

All right?

Use the Bluefly.com wall
very thoughtfully,

and use every second
you have this morning

to pull these looks together.

I know you have a lot to do.

All right?

I'm sending in your models.

Make it work.

[Designers]
Thank you, Tim.

[Chattering]

- Try anything on?
- Not at this moment.

I think we're good

because we know
that the muslin fit beautifully.

The dress speaks enough for itself.

[Ben] The second she saw the
look, she fell in love with it.

I do feel I was able to balance

not only what my client wanted,

but also my personal aesthetic.

[Amy]
It's very hectic this time.

Everyone is very panicked.

They're running around like crazy,

and I think half of the contestants

are going to have to sew
their models into the dress.

[Jonathan] My first thought
when I see Ping's design is...

It's, like, exaggerate
your pelvic movement.

Wha... The garment's not functional.

It doesn't cover...

her a*s,

and so I'm worried,

but then I look over at Ping,

and she's smiling.

It adds a little something, you know?

Oh, my God.
Maybe I'm not worried.

Maybe it's supposed to be an a*s flap.

I don't know. It's just all very strange.

You look stunning.

[Woman]
Really?

I love it.

It really curls.

Sucks.

Is it hot in here,
or is it just runway day?

Yeah, push them up, baby.
Push them up.

Pamela. Her model tried on her dress,

and I was like,
"Miss Thing has a big ol' butt,

like, it looked huge in the garment.

[Tim]
Designers, models... ten minutes.

Use your time well. I will be back.
Thank you.

There's so much going on right here

that the zipper, there's not enough room
for it to slide up on a T.

Is it k*lling you?

Kasey?

Everyone is running around

like chickens
with their heads cut off.

It's... It's crazy.

And this...
this is not going to hold.

All right.

Designers, models,

I never dreamed
that humble potato sacks

could look this grand.

You've done a fabulous job.

Bring your equipment with you.

We're going down to the runway now.

Let's go.

[Chattering]

Beautiful.

Mila.

It's just you.

Thank you.

All right, that's it.

Coming up on Project Runway...

The dress is not sophisticated.

I have a feeling
that a plain potato sack

would be more flattering on her.

Welcome to the runway.

As you know, in fashion,
one day you're in,

and the next day you're out.

There are 15 of you here,

and after tonight, there will be 14.

Your challenge this week

was based on the age-old saying

that a beautiful woman
could look good in anything,

even a potato sack.

Your job was to turn
a plain potato sack

into a party look for your model.

All right, let's meet the judges.

First we have top American designer
Michael Kors.

- Hey, guys.
- [AIl] Hi.

Fashion Director
for marie claire magazine Nina Garcia.

- Hello.
- Hi.

American icon, model,
actress, and adventurer

Lauren Hutton.

- Hi.
- [Applause]

We will score your designs
as they come down the runway.

One of you will be named the winner,

and one of you will be out.

Emilio, you won the last challenge,

which gives you immunity,

and you cannot be
eliminated this week.

All right, let's start the show.

[Anthony] The dress turned
out to exceed my expectations,

and Alexis looked
like she was going to a party

that she would be appreciated

by people who appreciate
true fashion and glamour.

As soon as she walked on the runway,

I not only see
that her buttocks is revealed,

but also the skirt part of this dress
really looks like potato sacks.

[Ben]
I am ecstatic.

I feel that it was classic
and still young and modern.

It's timeless,

and it could be appropriate for this year
or ten years from now.

My dress actually turned out almost
exactly the way I envisioned it.

Not only did I make my model happy...
my client...

but I also feel like I made something

that someone
would wear to a nightclub

out of a potato sack.

I believe I maintained
my own perspective as a designer,

but I think ultimately the vision
that we shared together

resulted in something
that was pleasing to both of us.

It's really awesome.

Ultimately I'm the only one
that did pants,

so I think it's definitely the look
and and the sophistication

with still that youthful
and that fun kind of edge.

It's definitely a mix
of everything I like to do.

Our challenge was
to take a potato sack,

transform it into something beautiful
for a client,

yet stick to who we are as a designer,

and our point of view.

I achieved that 1021/2 percent.

It's definitely my aesthetic.

I also am all about sticking with the kind
of organic qualities of the burlap,

and I think that that was communicated
in the garment.

[Janeane]
I am so happy.

I think that that dress

described where I'm coming from
as a designer.

This was a good challenge for me.

I'm very happy
with the garment that I made.

It's form fitting, it fits well,
and it's flirty,

and it looks very Jay Nicolas Sario.

What Holly and I wanted to do
was keep the integrity of the burlap.

She got the dress length,
the colors that she wanted,

and I got the fit, silhouette,

and the overall look

that I was envisioning for her.

[Jesus] I think that my dress
looked elegant on the runway

because I think that that's
one of the biggest things,

that I'm really, really good with
construction,

so I feel that my dress
was really well constructed.

I am happy with my dress,

but I'm a little concerned

because I didn't take Tim's advice.

You know, I think that I'm showing
something that's very different

from what everybody else is,

and, like I went above and beyond

and produced something that was
amazing quality, amazing finish,

and definitely made my client happy.

I have to say that it wasn't
my favorite dress that I had done,

but I made it work.

It wasn't at all
what I had planned on doing.

That's what happens
when you're using a sack.

[Pamela]
I'm fairly confident with it,

that it is answering the client's needs,

and it actually is looking like faded denim,

which was part of my idea,

is to make it look
like kind of blue jeans.

I'm like, "Ooh, the back
is sticking out a little bit more

"than I had intended
Uh-oh, well, that's not good.

Well, don't turn
toward the judges too much."

If I call your name,
please step forward.

Pamela, please step forward.

Mila.

Ping.

Jay.

Jesus.

Amy.

If I did not call your name,

congratulations.

Your scores have qualified you
to move on to the next challenge.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

The six of you present the highest
and the lowest scores.

One of you will be named the winner,

and one of you will be out.

Let's bring out your models.

I would like to start with Jay.

Oh, my God.

Tell us about your look.

I love to make patterns,
I love to show style lines

and adding things like this

to make it feel so feminine.

[Michael Kors]
When she first came out, I said,

"Did he cheat?
Are they feathers? What is it?

Did he shred organza?"
Really well done.

Thank you.

I think he's made burlap look expensive.

Very, very nicely abstract. It's lovely.

[Heidi]
Pamela.

What I did was a narrow dress
in a blue shade

and did kind of corset shaping in the top.

I did the dyeing
and got it to do an ombré

to kind of get a faded blue jean look.

The dress is too short
and too tight on your model.

It also looks almost...

not sophisticated.

You're talking about a girl
who can kind of wear anything.

You know, here it is.
She can wear a potato sack.

Well, I have a feeling
that a plain potato sack

would be more flattering on her.

I have to say the dyeing
is beautifully done.

- Yeah.
- It is.

You guys are going to an industry event,

so will you be comfortable wearing that?

Um...

Wow, that says it all.

You don't even have to say
anything anymore now.

Well, um, uh, uh, uh.

Mila, tell us about your look.

I just sort of visualized
this color, and I thought,

Can I push myself
to make something

that is actually a little bit futuristic
and modern out of this fabric

that's associated with,
you know, the farm?

I have to say I'm absolutely
in love with this dress.

I don't like this gaping.

[Heidi]
I like that it gapes,

that you feel like you can sort of see

a little bit booby in there

but not everything.

- [Laughs]
- Well, the boys will like it.

[Both laughing]

You went from the farm to the future,
and it looks fantastic.

Thank you.

Okay, Ping, tell us about your look.

Originally, I was expecting
the skin color

with a contrast with the patterns
I created on this,

but her skin's so close
to the original color of this fabric,

so it's not much contrast

I like it, Ping.

Thank you.

[Heidi]
I mean, if you turn around, we see a butt.

- [Woman] Yeah, it does.
- [Lauren Hutton] That's a problem.

[Michael Kors] She could go to
a party with a thousand people.

They'll notice you.

They'll notice you

and that your entire a*s is hanging out.

And I should pay more attention
on the instructions.

You know, first they said
it's an industry party.

I really thought that was
a county fair potato party.

You do have an edgy eye.

You do, but does it really translate
into real fashion?

That's what I'm concerned about.

She keeps working, it will.

You've got a lot of competition.

Jesus, if we're talking
about percentage right now,

how much percentage is potato sack,

and how much percentage
is other fabric?

The whole bodice is potato sack,

and then I layered the ribbon
on top of it.

I'm not so sure if I like that.

I thought it was a whole other material.

You've sewn together ribbons
close together.

- Is that what he did?
- [Jesus] Yes.

I feel like I don't see
enough of the challenge in a way.

Dresses should be like paintings,
especially ones like this,

and that's sort of a...

a very confused as*ault
on the eye painting.

Jesus, what I would really like
to see from you

is something a little cooler.

- Okay.
- Younger.

Amy, tell us about your look.

For Alison and I,
it was really important

retain the organic quality of the burlap,

and the top is just a simple cowl
with an open back,

which is something that Alison
really likes, an open back,

and she wanted something
that moves

and makes her feel fun
and pretty on the runway.

You used the fabric

but made it flirty,

made it feminine.

You didn't try to disguise it.

[Hutton] You've taken burlap

and made it into
a real working dress material.

Thank you.

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

We're going to have a little chat,

and then we'll call you back.

You can leave the runway.
Thank you.

I do have to say, as a general comment
to this challenge,

you know, making clothes
out of potato sack material,

I thought it was fantastic.

- I was blown away.
- Spectacular.

Let's talk about the designers
that we did like.

Who first?

How about Jay?

Loved that transformation.

You would have never guessed
that was a burlap sack.

[Heidi]
And a lot of work also.

He really did everything by hand.

There was no smoke and mirrors.

The heaviness of the burlap
was made light again

by the featheriness
of everything, the frame.

Totally, totally.

He did a great job.

Mila.

I thought that was an amazing dress.

I really loved it.

[Kors]
The last word that you would think of

when you say burlap bag

is hot, you know, edgy and hot.

It was a real collaboration
between Mila and Lorena.

It had both of their aesthetics.

And it was good because
she has a good look, too.

Okay, let's move on to Amy.

That was a very sophisticated dress,
very chic dress.

She's the only one
who actually let you see the potato sack

so that you knew
that it was potato sack,

but she transformed it.

She gloried in it. To bias the front

and have those incredibly
chic sarong sides

that halter sides...

That was...
I was very impressed with her.

Let's move on to the designers
that we weren't quite impressed with.

Let's start with Jesus.

It really bothered me
how the color just stopped

at the center seam like that.

It makes your a*s
also look asymmetrical

so you have one big cheek
and one small cheek.

Yeah.

I'm concerned about his sense of color.

- Or lack thereof.
- Yeah.

I mean, all I've seen
is brown and this pea green.

Let's move on to Ping.

I don't know if she
really doesn't understand

half of the things that we tell her

or if she's trying to use that
for her benefit,

but clearly every other designer
understood the challenge.

I don't know.
I think she doesn't listen.

You know, she's sending her model
out bare butt.

[Hutton] If she had been
able to properly line that,

I'll bet she could've made
something interesting out of it.

I agree.

[Heidi]
You know, the question is

do we want to see more from Ping?

Okay, let's move on to Pamela.

I really question not only
the creativity,

but then I have to question

the fact that this dress made this girl
with a great body look bigger.

Where the seams where
at the widest part of the hips

she's got the widest part of the seam,

and nothing is pointing in...

Literally like an arrow...

- "I want to have a big butt."
- Yeah.

I do have to say, though,

Pamela's dress was well made.

She dyed it to make it look like denim.

It was denim.

[Heidi]
It did look exactly like denim.

Okay, so we've made up our mind.

All right, let's bring them back out.

The six of you represent
the best and the worst.

One of you will be named the winner,

and one of you will be out.

One of you will be named the winner,

and one of you will be out.

Amy...

you're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Jay...

you turned a burlap potato sack

into a beautiful and sophisticated
c*ck dress.

Your look was perfectly appropriate
for an industry event.

Mila...

what you did with that material
was amazing.

It was modern, sleek,

and unexpected.

Jay...

you're in.

And you're the winner
of this challenge.

Congratulations.

- Thank you so much.
- You can leave the runway.

[Jay]
Wow, I can't believe this is happening.

I'm really happy to win the challenge.

I felt like I was in heaven.
It's so amazing.

I won!

Cool.

Mila.

You're in. You can leave the runway

Thank you.

Ping...

you're in.

- Thank you.
- You can leave the runway.

Thanks.

Pamela...

Jesus...

one of you will be out.

Pamela...

Your dress was
not at all flattering for your model.

We question your taste level

and ability to be fashion forward.

Jesus...

you missed the point of the challenge.

Instead of using the potato sack
as your main fabric,

you covered it up.

Your dress was mundane
and matronly.

Jesus...

you're in.

Thank you so much,

and I'll show you I will be capable
of doing more next time.

You can leave the runway.

I'm sorry, Pamela.
That means you're out.

Thank you very much
for the opportunity.

Auf Wiedersehen.

Thank you.

Bye-bye. Thank you very much.

It's going to sound hugely dramatic,

but I fall in love with people very easily.

All the people in this competition...

I'm really, really proud
to know that they were my friends.

I liked every single one of them.

I know the whole point
is we're supposed to try to beat each other.

I know that's the point,

and I know we're supposed to get
to fashion week

and be like, "Oh, I stomped on you,"

but nobody's really only
thinking that in their heart.

They're all kind of like,
"But I wish you could be there, too."

Pamela, we're going to miss you.

Oh, it's been wonderful, Tim.

- Going to miss you a lot.
- You are such a great mentor.

So I have to send you to the workroom
to clean up your space, okay?

Okay, thank you.

- Hey, bye-bye.
- All right.

- Bye, Pamela.
- Bye, Pamela.

[Pamela]
I'm never going to stop designing,

and I'm a teacher at a college,

so I'm definitely going to continue
the teaching, too.

Next time on Project Runway...

It's time for your next challenge.

Would you like to meet

some of the most iconic
fashion designers of all time?

[AIl] yes.

You will be working in teams of two.

Oh.

Wow, that's the fabric?

No, no, no,
I don't understand like this.

- Can we look at it just...
- No, no.

If you're not doing it right,
get the hell out of my way.

It looks like the cotillion party from hell.

It couldn't be any more matronly.

These designs...
they are both really ugly.
