07x10 - Hey, That's My Fabric

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Project Runway...

Designers, for this challenge,
we're sending you out into the city.

Nice.

You will be working in teams of two.

- Jay, you're working with Mila.
- Wow.

Oh, [bleep].

- Ew.
- Ew.

Welcome to Harlem, baby.

Amy's style and Upper East Side

might be a little bit of a clash.

I just have to get over
the fact that I don't like her.

Jay hasn't even started the tank top yet.

I have about a million pleats to make.

Oh, sh**t.

We're [bleep].

- Emilio, congratulations.
- [Mutters]

You are the winner of this challenge.

Seth Aaron, you are also
the winner of this challenge.

Yeah!

Amy, you're out.

Which model will be in?

- I am gonna stay with Brittany.
- Thank you.

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

This is Project Runway.

Yes!

I am fashion. Look at me.

It's cut or be cut.

Just make it work.

- Great clothes.
- Great style.

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.

Losing Amy was really tough.

The only thing that's saving me

from being completely overwrought by this

is that she's so strong.

So it's game on from this point forward.

Anybody know where
my black sunglasses are?

I am closer to Bryant Park

than I think most people
probably ever expected me

to get in this competition.

My eye and my focus
is still on the prize.

[Blow-dryer whirring]

I'm a little jealous that Seth Aaron

and Emilio won the challenge.

I'm one of two girls,
and I'm the youngest one.

You know, it's definitely scary
now that there's only a few of us left.

Let's go.

All right. Let's go.

I won yesterday,
but I'm normal today.

I'm normal?

[Laughing]

- Hello.
- Hi, Heidi.

Now there are only seven of you left.

So for your next challenge,
we want you to take

your creativity to the next level.

Let's just say the next challenge

will involve more
than just choosing your fabric.

Tim and a special guest
are waiting for you

in the workroom to fill you in
on all of the details.

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

Bye.

- Bye.
- Bye, Heidi.

[Seth Aaron]
This challenge will involve more

than just choosing our fabric.

What does that mean?
Are we gonna get

a couple pocket elves
to help us sew?

I mean, what is it?

Good morning, designers.

- Good morning, Tim.
- [Woman] Good morning.

I am thrilled to introduce Vivienne Tam.

[Vivienne]
I'm so excited to be here.

Thank you.
Thank you. Yeah.

Vivienne is a designer
who understands how to marry

the art of fashion
with the science of technology.

You're going to be do something that
every fashion designer dreams about

but seldom realizes.

You're going to be designing,

creating your own textile

- [gasps]
- To serve as the core

of the design that you develop
for this challenge.

- Wow.
- Yes.

Very exciting.

I am so excited about creating fabric,

and I'm completely confident
that I'm gonna be able

to really create something that's me.

You've all been using
your HP TouchSmart Notebooks.

Now you're going to carry it over into

a TouchSmart all-in-one desktop

to design your textile,

and that textile will be
digitally printed for you.

Working with HP,
they make the computer more personal.

Today, the challenge
is all about fashion meets technology.

My vision started
with this beautiful butterfly,

and it turned into this beautiful fabric.

My prints are my inspiration.

Now it's your turn
to make your designs.

HP and Intel are proud
to bring you the technology.

Now you have to supply the vision.

So, designers, you will have
an hour to develop your design,

and your design will be
manufactured by Dynamics.

You will receive it tomorrow morning.

- It's so challenging, huh?
- [Designers] Yeah.

[Tim] So you have
two days for this challenge.

[Mila]
Great.

[Tim]
We will be going to Mood

where you will buy supplementary fabric.

And then today,
you can prototype in muslin.

And, Vivienne, we have you
and HP and Intel to thank.

- Thank you.
- So thank you so much.

I'm looking forward
to seeing your prints.

So we're gonna let you design.

I'm so excited about this,

because I've never designed
my own fabric.

It's amazing.
Absolutely amazing.

I've never made my own fabric before.

It's exciting, but at the same time,

it's challenging and nerve-wracking.

Prints don't typically work for Anthony.

So this is just a challenge.
However, I'm trying to remain focused,

because ultimately,
we have, like, an hour

to design a textile and print it out.

[Sighs]
So, here we go.

My idea is to create something

that emulates giant drips

of paint on a canvas.

I am using a paintbrush
to create my design,

and it truly feels like I'm painting.

I've chosen to use a technique

to create my pattern
that's actually subtractive.

It's kind of scrolling,
organic, very painterly.

- This is fun.
- I want one of these at home.

- I want one of these at home.
- I wouldn't need a TV anymore.

As a designer, I think branding

is what we want to do,

so I chose to do a graffiti print
with my initials.

[Grunts]
Bryant Park, here we go.

Do we have time to print so I
can see what it may look like?

- All you have to do is press "print,"
- Oh.

And it'll automatically just go.

I want to, you know, show the judges

that I can use color.

I am using black again,
but I'm using red

and a little bit of bright orange
in this palette.

[Tim] All right, designers.
This is very exciting.

We're sending off your fabric
to be manufactured,

and we're heading off to Mood
to get supplemental fabric, all right?

So come with me.

All right, designers.
You have $100 and 20 minutes.

So, surely, after all this
designing of the textile,

you know what you're doing.

[Laughs]

I see looks of fear.

Your 20 minutes starts now.

I design five to ten sketches really quickly,
and then I look for fabric.

The fabric that I find that best suits
the design is what I go with.

Girl, this look like algebra.

- Give me an eighth of that.
- Okay.

I'm using color this time.
I love yellow.

So I'm going with
a British take on pop punk.

All right. That's it.
Time, everyone.

You need to be at the counter
ready to pay.

I'm, like, running like crazy.

- Oh, my God.
- I can't wait.

Thank you so much.

- Whoo!
- Off we go.

- Thank you, Mood. Come on, everyone.
- Thank you.

Let's go back to Parsons.

I'm doing three pieces...

a jacket, a skirt, and a top.

With more time,
the judges are gonna

want to see more work.

My plan of attack is to first start drafting

and designing a strapless dress

with a V-neck.

I'm also using a giant piece of the print

on one entire side of the dress.

Jonathan, hi! I'm sunshine.
[Laughing]

Oh, my God.
That's the brightest yellow I've seen in my life.

It's so bright, isn't it?

Mila... There's just a lot of things wrong

with the fabric that she designed.

I think that, like,
when we were children,

we played with Legos.

I don't wanna wear Legos.
I just wanted to play with them.

- What does your print look like?
- Actually...

Well, this is it, but it's actually...

- Where is it?
- It was so transparent, it has to be fixed.

Oh, this is it.

My print was so light,
that when I printed a mock-up of it,

I actually couldn't even see what it looked like,

so I'm worried that
that could jeopardize my original vision.

[Mila]
What are you making? A jacket?

So far, an a*s out of myself.

I figured I'd try something new
this time around.

[Singsong voice]
Anthony's trying separates again.

[Anthony] In this challenge,
I'm thinking about doing separates

simply because I'm trying to create
a more edgy look for myself.

But already I'm feeling
a little iffy about it.

Lord, I'm gonna pray now for this jacket,

'cause I've never made one ever in my life.

Okay, I'm gonna run with it.

But I'm fighting my viscera.

So I started draping
a blue leather, like, bustier,

and then when I had it all completed,
I put it on the dress form,

- and I hated it.
- [Anthony] Do it this way.

If it was somebody else's
garment coming down the runway,

what would you say about it?

It's now or never.
I'm not gonna have

a second chance
if I don't do this right.

Okay, okay.

Think, think, think,
think, think, think, think.

Coming up on Project Runway...

I'm having a little bit
of a block on this challenge.

It's a pretty basic silhouette.

I do not listen to Tim
whether he likes it or not.

Wow.

Okay. My viscera tells me

to abandon the blue leather bustier.

[Anthony]
Honey, trust your viscera.

[Seth Aaron]
You don't like the blue?

I'm not crazy about the blue.

It's not talking to me.

As a designer,
I think I have the right

or just the preference
to change direction any time I feel like it,

so I just took it apart
and started over again.

[Sighs]

Maya, you must be dying something.

- Dying something? No.
- Oh.

I'm having some difficulty
with the print challenge

because I don't normally work with prints.

I think I might be in trouble this time.

You know, I blame Beyoncé

for everything that goes wrong in my life.

It's something about her song

that will make you think,
first of all, that you are a size four,

that you can conquer the world,
and that...

I don't know... you are all powerful.

Do you think Beyoncé has a song
for people who can't find jobs?

Or the interview
that you didn't do so well in?

Do she sing any songs about that?

I think everyone loves Anthony.

I don't even think he tries to be funny.

[Laughing]

I love that about him.

I would like Oprah

'cause out of all the days
she could book me for her show,

she'd book me for the show
where she'll be screaming,

"You get a car, you get a car, you get a car!"

Oprah, don't book me on the
"My Husband Has a Porn Addiction."

No, Oprah, I don't wanna be on that show,

'cause My Uncle Leroy
got that same problem.

I do not purposely try
to be entertaining in the workroom.

Even when I'm, like,
pouring out my heart,

and, like, being, like,
somber and all that,

people still laugh at me for some reason.

- [Screams]
- [Laughing]

I can't wait to see my fabric.

You know, if the colors are off,
it's gonna look like crap.

I feel great leaving the workroom tonight.

Myself, and all the designers included,

are so excited to see our printed fabrics.

[Anthony]
Now we can leave.

Whoo!

- [Woman] Hello?
- Hey, how are you?

- Happy birthday.
- Thanks.

- So, how's the puppy?
- He's doing fine.

If I sit and think about
how much I miss my family,

it will affect why I'm here.

I'm here to win
Project Runway Season 7.

Okay, I'll call you again, baby.

- Okay. I love you.
- I love you, too. Bye.

[Chattering]

Look at... Oh, my God.

Oh...

Oh, my God!

[Anthony]
All of us walk into the workroom,

and our textiles are ready for us.

Now we're watching
our beautiful creations unfold.

- Oh, I love it!
- [Jay] We made our own fabric.

Oh, my God!

I love you,
and I don't even know you yet.

Ohhh!

- Oh, my God!
- Wow!

I open my roll, and it's beautiful.

It's the most beautiful grayish blue.

There's this beautiful oil-spot effect
kind of going on,

and the sheer layers...

It's just really gorgeous fabric.

- Wow, it's so vivid.
- It looks textured.

- Did you want it to be this vivid?
- Yeah.

- Oh, my God!
- Can we make out with our fabric?

[Anthony]
I'm like a mother looking at her baby.

This is amazing.

"S, A, E, S, O, S."

- "E, S, O, S, A."
- Okay, I don't get it.

- E. Sosa.
- E. Sosa.

- Emilio Sosa.
- Oh, got it.

- E. Sosa. Sorry. It's early still.
- Damn. Damn Mercedes.

I think Emilio's print

is probably one of
the worst in the room.

Emilio is good at fitting things,

but I feel like his taste is questionable.

I am so freaking stoked on this.

My fabric looks freaking amazing.

So I think I have a very,
very powerful look in front of me.

[Anthony]
Yours looks like it's coming along beautiful.

Thank you.

I like the print.

I'm just having a hard time with...

- The dress?
- Well, I just don't know how me it is.

I'm kind of, you know,

wondering what I should do.

This isn't really a challenge
where I can be very sculptural,

so I'm really trying

to put something together
that represents me.

All right, designers.
I'm eager to see

the outcomes of your custom textiles.

I'm just here to check in with all of you.

Mila, I wanna start with you.

- Okay, great.
- Great.

I'm so happy with the way it turned out.

I know it looks kind of evening,

but the twill makes it feel,
you know, more daytime to me.

- So you want it to read evening?
- I don't want it to read evening.

But isn't it the length
sort of by definition?

Well, yeah.
But I just thought it was, like, a maxi-dress

kind of for a spring event kind of thing.

- All right.
- All right. Well, I'll just, uh,

- Carry on.
- Carry on.

[Laughing]
Thanks, Mila.

Thank you, T.G.

I did a three-piece suite.

I see it as being early spring.

So I'm doing a lightweight leather jacket.

It's a wrap jacket.

She'll have a prim little fitted dress
with a blouse underneath.

My one concern:

- The proportion of this to this.
- Too much here?

- Just look at that when it's on her.
- Yeah.

- Thank you, Tim.
- Thank you.

This is my textile, which is a graphic.

What is it supposed to say?

Uh, it says "E Sosa."

And "S A" is Seth Aaron?

Seth Aaron?
Emilio Sosa.

"S-O-S-A."

I see.
Seth Aaron, Emilio Sosa.

- Ooh, I didn't see that.
- That's all I see.

Well, I don't see that.

Emilio Sosa. S-O-S-A.

I see. Wow. All right.

I have to recalibrate my thinking,

'cause that's not what I see at all.

So, basically,
what I wanted to create

was a 1940's silhouette

combined with, like, a graffiti print.

That's why I did the text.

I wanted the print to be the thing.

And that is what it is,
because if you take the print away,

it's a pretty basic silhouette.

Well, I would say
it's a classic silhouette.

Tim Gunn comes in,
and automatically, he mocks it.

And I'm like,
"Okay. Great, Tim."

But you know what?

I do not listen to Tim
whether he likes it or not.

- How's Seth Aaron?
- This is my sketch.

When creating my textile,

I went for a British pop punk feel.

- Can I see it?
- Oh, absolutely.

It printed wonderfully.

The tiles are a little larger
than I thought they would be.

- This is fantastic.
- Thank you.

- This needs to be just as good.
- Just as...

- All right.
- All right.

- Thank you, Seth Aaron.
- Thank you.

Um, so, for this challenge,

um, it's a little bit
of a challenge for me,

'cause I'm not really
a print-type person.

Really? You'd fool me.

I mean, I'm trying to make it
as me as possible,

but I kind of had a block
on this challenge, to be honest.

- I'm trying to work it out.
- Unblock.

- I know.
- Unblock. Someone's going home.

- You don't want it to be you.
- I know.

I'll figure it out.

- Okay. Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

So talk to me
about what you're designing.

Um, what I'm designing
is just celebrating

the lines that are in the pattern

without being so literal,

like showing them in the skirt
and showing a little detailing

in the bodice.

I'm concerned
that the judges may say to you

that you weren't ambitious enough.

- So work away.
- Well, thank you, Tim.

Thank you, Anthony.

All right, designers.
You have until midnight tonight.

All right.
I'll see you tomorrow.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

That is so cool.

That's perfect. Good.

I hope they don't see
that it got wet right there.

A lot of designers
never get the chance

- to design their own fabric.
- No.

Cerri tries on the blouse.
We get the dress on her.

It's great.
There's minor alterations to it.

But overall, the look
looks fantastic on her.

I'm completely convinced
that I've got a really great look on my hands.

This is, like, getting so hard.

Like, most of my work
I like to be dimensional,

- Mm-hmm.
- And print are, like, so flat.

It was hard in the beginning,

but I feel like it's harder now.

And I really wanna win a challenge.

That's, like, all I'm focusing on.

I don't wanna be safe.

I don't wanna be in the top and not win.

I wanna win a challenge.

[Emilio]
Mila and her white teepee of a dress.

I'm baffled by it. How come
someone call themselves a designer

and not be able to work in color?

I'm very confident
in my color and fabric choices.

It's definitely taking a risk,

but I feel like at
this point in the competition,

I have to take risks, and I have to
listen to what the judges are saying.

[Chattering]

Anthony, how was your fitting?

I'm trying to figure out
if I wanna keep working

with this bodice or abort.

Anthony's taste
is questionable sometimes.

I mean, he's a joy to have around.

I'll be sad to see him go
if he does before me,

but I just can't imagine him

making a collection for Bryant Park.

Dd [humming]

So runway's tomorrow,
and I feel good.

I know it's totally me.
Obviously. I created the fabric.

How's it going?

Oh, it's going, Maya.

[Anthony]
The bodice... it's just too big. It's large.

And I just think that
it's gonna be really cumbersome

to try to work through these alterations.

I basically scrapped my first top.

The fit wasn't incredible,

and it was one of those,

"Do I keep working on this top,

or do I go to something
I know I can make fit and look fabulous?"

It's given me quite a conundrum

trying to work through my reality

and what may happen tomorrow.

What did I do to deserve this?

Coming up on Project Runway...

Wait. There is something wrong.

I'm pushing it to the last second today.

I think Mila is in trouble.

We're off to the runway.

[Sighs]
So tired.

I didn't sleep last night.

Really?

I'm feeling so exhausted this morning.

This is definitely not
the easiest challenge for me.

It just feels a lot more intense
than it has so far.

You look like
a g*y Christmas ornament.

- Why'd you say that?
- [Seth Aaron] Now he's gonna wanna change.

[Anthony]
No, you look beauti... I'm sorry.

Baby, I'm sorry.
Babe...

It's gonna be a nice runway show today.

I feel so strong
about my fabric and my design,

but you never know how
the runway's actually going to go,

because in Project Runway Land,
anything can happen.

Are we leaving?
I'm gonna change my pants.

- Oh, my God!
- I think you look hot.

Thanks, Anthony.

- Sabotage.
- [Laughing]

All right, fellas.
We are leaving as three...

We're coming back as three.

Returning as three.

I still think I have a great chance
of going to Bryant Park.

I'm trying to focus a lot
on being very consistent

and pushing the boundaries
with my design.

If I can't get sleeves
on a jacket in an hour,

then there's just something wrong.

Wait. There is something wrong.
Let me...

I did a lot of pieces. I did a shirt,

a tie, a blazer, pants.

So I'm pushing it
to the last second today.

Anthony has a lot
on his plate this morning.

Right now,
I'm trying to figure out

what can I do to make my dress
a little more special.

Yay. Turtleneck... done.

I'm definitely ready for the runway show

based on the amount of work
I put in last night.

But you can't even tell anymore

who is in trouble
or who is going home.

It's such a tight competition at this point.

- Good morning, everyone.
- Good morning.

I'm about to send in your models.

You know the drill.
You'll have an hour

to send them to the Garnier hair salon

and the L'Oréal Paris makeup room.

Use the Bluefly.com wall
very thoughtfully and strategically.

I will be back to take you down
to the runway a little later.

Thank you, Tim.

All right. Make it work, everyone.
Thank you.

- Can I try something on you real quick?
- Of course.

[Chattering]

So I didn't do it just clean down.

- I did a little kick-pleat detail on the back.
- Nice.

[Anthony]
I don't really care for Jonathan's look.

It's really pale.
And then when you look at the colors,

they're really pale,
and Jonathan's really pale.

I just wanna take a bucket of paint
and just throw it over

on their side of the room
because everything is pale as hell.

I'm so happy with this print, too.

I couldn't be happier.

I think Mila is in trouble

due to the fact that her dress is so stiff

and that Brandise can't walk.

- Oh, I think it's so cool.
- Yeah, I like the hair like that.

Okay. Let's go down
to hair and makeup.

And a little bit of black smoky at the top,
not at the bottom.

Really dark. No color.

I just want her hair
pulled back in a ponytail and blunt.

- Structured to the side.
- Oh.

Designers, in ten minutes,

we are all going down to the runway.

Ten minutes.

Thank you.

Dd [singing]

- I think it's cool.
- I think it looks great on you.

I love the way the dress came out.

I think it's totally me.

But it's gonna be a real
matter of taste this time.

So we'll see what the judges think.

Go Team Jay and Brittany.

There's nothing else
in that room that can top this.

The print is smart.
It's bold.

I feel good.

I love the way that it's loose,

- because it is a day look, so...
- Yeah.

I don't wanna go home.

My biggest fear is getting so close

that I can see Bryant Park

out of the corner of my eye
and then losing it.

Designers and models,
we're off to the runway.

Here. Right here, right here.

Thank you, everyone.

Coming up on Project Runway...

It's too conceptual. It's too weird.

It's like a disco straitjacket.

Full-on catastrophe.

Welcome to the runway.

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

and the next day you're out.

For this challenge, we gave you
the tools to design your own fabric.

This is a Project Runway first

and an opportunity that
a lot of designers dream of.

I hope you wow us,

because now the competition
is tougher than ever.

Okay, let's meet the judges.

First, we have top American designer,
Michael Kors.

- Hey, guys.
- [Designers] Hi, Michael.

Fashion Director
for marie claire magazine, Nina Garcia.

- [Designers] Hi, Nina.
- Hi, everyone.

And fashion designer,
Vivienne Tam.

- [Applause]
- Hi.

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.

Let's start the show.

It's pretty amazing,
because 24 hours ago,

I was drawing this Pop Art
on a computer screen,

and now it's walking down a runway.

It's crisp, it's clean,

it's fully finished,

and it's just everything
I wanted it to be.

I think my garment

has definitely achieved
everything I set it out to achieve.

The print is soft and subtle,

and the mix of the textures
is really beautiful,

and the colors look great on Cerri.

The dress looks very electric,

and it looks like it's moving,
which is what I wanted.

It's very bold and powerful.

There is the textural element
and the print element.

I love it.

As I watched Lorena,
I'm like, "We got this."

The print is graphic.
It's bold.

It's energetic.

It says everything
that we were challenged to do.

My print is spot-on.

I love my dress.

I love the little jacket with it.

But then, Brandise
has picked the dress up

on the side to walk with it,

and I'm really freaking out about that.

But I used print in a way
that no one else did.

I am very proud of the look
that I created for Kristina.

She looks polished,
and she looks feminine.

She looks like a lady.

That's everything that I try to exude

as a designer.

The whole look turned out
the way I wanted it to be.

It has this very military-inspired attitude,

and the fabric has
this tribal feeling to it

with the black and the green.

Jay,

congratulations.

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

- You can leave the runway.
- Thank you.

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.

Let's bring out your models.

Emilio, tell us about your print
and your design.

For this challenge,
I wanted to showcase

two of my greatest influence,

which is graffiti
and 1940s French fashion,

so I decided to create a print using text.

It says "E Sosa,"
which is my name,

and the hearts represent the O's.

I have to say I am in love
with the whole outfit.

The coat is just a different,
unique shape.

She looks very sophisticated.

And then the dress underneath is stunning.

You nailed it.
I mean, you nailed it.

To come up with a signature pattern,

and that it's abstract...
how great is that?

I would love to wear it,
but I would love to see

the heart shape in the neck

- or in through the waist area with the black...
- Okay.

...so it ties back to the print.

The unexpected juxtaposition

of the '40s and the graffiti was fantastic.

She looks great from head to toe.

Thank you very much.

- Mila.
- Okay, I wanted to create

something painterly for my print.

I thought because
it was such a large scale,

I wanted to show a big piece of it.

I worked on the strap detailing.

And I just made a little jacket
to show some versatility

in the way that it could be worn.

I don't find anything intriguing
about this print.

It's like a Mexican serape g*y flag.

And no matter how great your model is,

she literally was hobbling
down that runway.

I love that it's finished,
but this dress

is definitely something
that you've seen in the '70s before.

It looks too stuck in time.

This is not much of a print.

You used it very modestly.

This print doesn't go with this dress.

It's like a mixed message.

Anthony.

I thought to myself,
"Hmm, Anthony,

"let's try playing with color
and geometric shapes

to see if we can give you
a little edge this time around."

I wanted something that was structured,

but something that was
a little festive at the same time.

I think there's a few things
that are going on

that I don't quite understand.

Is the shrug...
Is this a shrug?

Um, that's an interesting
question, Nina.

The initial jacket that I created...

honey, she died.

So, in the final hour,
I had to create a different piece.

- Stop explaining.
- Just say it was a shrug.

- I didn't know.
- I'm trying to go more modern,

but you still hold on

to some of the things, quite honestly,
that make it look very normal.

The sweetheart line may be too sweet
for the architectural print.

I can see your effort,

but you didn't go
further enough to develop it.

I feel like I've seen this many times
from you... this silhouette.

I just would love
to see something different.

Seth Aaron, tell us about your design.

I like to draw Pop Art,

so this is hand-drawn.

And represents the vibe
of a young lady's face.

And then I gridded it
in thick window paint.

This complete look
represents me 100°/°.

What I like about you,
Seth Aaron,

is that you're always true to yourself.

You know, the whole color combination

is wild and crazy,

but it works at the same time.

It's impeccable.
It's got personality.

And each piece on its own...
they're great pieces.

I thought your print was very charming,

and I love the fact that you did this jacket.

It looks sharp.
It looks very well made.

Adorable.

- Maya.
- Well, for this challenge,

I wanted to create a textile
that had a lot of movement.

And I'm really trying to pull

the flat and the textural quality

to combine a total

architectural, sculptural look.

And I really like the way it came out.

I think it's very me.

I think you did
a brilliant job with your print.

It's almost like electricity.

However, you have the print,
the textured panel,

and then you have her hair.

There's a lot going on.

The coolest thing about this

is that this look

has this weird juxtaposition going on.

She's kind of like a romantic warrior.

Every way I look at the dress,
I'm intrigued.

[Vivienne]
In general, I do love the print,

and I think that you give,
like, a textural effect

to your designs is very good.

Give it more three-dimensional.

But I like it.

Thank you very much.

Jonathan, tell us about your fabric
and your overall design.

I'd weighed layers of sheer polka dots,

and when they came over
the different sheer fields of color,

they almost gave,
like, a watercolor effect.

Instead of doing
a wrap jacket in the front,

I chose to turn it around
and give it a different twist.

And then underneath,
Cerri has a double-layered

silk chiffon trapeze blouse
under the c*ck dress

which is completely made out of the print.

The jacket, first off, is just...

It's like a disco straitjacket.

It doesn't make any sense.

Then I get to the print,

which looks like a dirty tablecloth

that food just kind of randomly spilled on.

To refer to it as a dirty tablecloth,

I think, is just preposterous.

But there's nothing compelling
about that print.

I just can't see the emotional attachment

that anyone would have, um...

Oh, God, look at that.

Your husband helps you
back into your straightjacket.

- [Laughter]
- Oh, that's not a good thing.

Sweetie...

This is a full-on catastrophe.

That kick pleat in the back
is beyond upsetting to me.

It looks dirty. It looks poor.
It looks soiled.

The emotion that I get is sadness.

I feel sad.

But is sad not an emotion?

I actually think there have been
many clothes over the years,

quite frankly,
that are sad or melancholic,

but in a beautiful way.

But I definitely stand by my print.

It's more organic.
It is a different emotion

than the other pieces on the stage,

but I think that's okay.

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

We're gonna have a little chat,
and then I'll call you back.

You can leave the runway.

Let's talk about the designers
that we didn't like.

Let's start with Anthony.

My problem with Anthony is that

there is always an explanation.

There's always an excuse.

He always does this kind of silhouette

every time,
over and over and over again.

I mean, I think he just takes
very basic forms,

and he decorates them.

Yeah. He needs to be
more adventurous.

Let's move on to Mila.

I feel she took the easy route in here.

She could've given us
something more creative.

I mean, the poor model looked like

she was walking
in a striped teepee.

And you know what?
This is the sundress

that everyone's mom wore

- in 1972 on a patio.
- Yeah.

- Yeah. Exactly. Nothing special.
- There's nothing special about this dress.

Let's talk about Jonathan's dress.

He got very offended when you said

that his print was reminding you
of a dirty tablecloth.

- He was like... [grunts, inhales]
- It looked poor.

I think this was a total car crash today.

We have told him in the past that, yes,

we praise him for taking chances

and being conceptual and all that.

But this time around,
that's what k*lled him here.

It's too conceptual. It's too weird.

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

Let's start with Seth Aaron.

Talk about making clothes

that look unbelievably polished

on not a lot of money
and not a lot of time.

Seth Aaron I feel like
is always full of ideas.

- Yep. He gets it.
- He gets it.

He's true to himself,
thinks outside of the box.

I like the print.
It's whimsical.

Emilio. I love his print,
and I love the dress.

I would love to have that dress.

The slip shape and the jacket,
the back drape... it's so beautiful.

- Yeah.
- Adorable.

That was great.

This print could work smaller,

- bigger, many colors...
- Bigger.

...different fabrics.

Doesn't matter
what you would do it in.

Exactly.

Let's talk about Maya.

The side silhouette of it
I thought was really fabulous.

[Nina]
I mean, when she said,

I wanted to give my print movement,

she totally got me, because, yes,

you can totally see that in her print.

She makes beautiful clothes.
And in terms of fabric,

- she probably did the nicest print.
- I agree.

Maya's print is my favorite print today.

It's flattering, easy to work with,

and it's special.

All right.
So we've made our decision?

Okay, let's bring them back out.

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.

Emilio,

- you are the winner of this challenge.
- [Grunting]

Thank you.

You did a great job,
both with the print and the design.

The final result was polished,
spirited, and cool.

Congratulations.
You can leave the runway.

[Grunts]
Thank you very much.

[Grunts]

I win the challenge.

That's cool.
[Laughs]

- The third time.
- Three, baby.

This one just showed everyone
that I'm a force to be reckoned with.

Seth Aaron, another great job.

You're in.
You can leave the runway.

Thank you so much, guys.

Maya, you're in.
You can leave the runway.

Thank you so much.

It's definitely frustrating
that I have been so close

to having wins three times now.

I was really hoping
to win this challenge.

Mila,

you're in.

- You can leave the runway.
- Thank you.

Anthony, Jonathan,

one of you will be out.

Anthony, this was yet
another simple c*ck dress.

Your print was very safe.
And again, with the excuses.

You don't need
to point out your mistakes.

We do see them.

Jonathan, despite your protests,

this look was bizarre and quite sad.

We appreciate that you take risks,

but this was a complete
and utter misfire.

Anthony,

you're out.

We will miss you.

Thank you for everything.

Jonathan, that means you're in.
You can leave the runway.

Auf Wiedersehen.

Hey, boo!

- Hey.
- [Laughing]

What's going on?

I think that life has taught us

that you don't have to
have the crown to be the queen.

[Laughs]
I don't know what song to sing.

"Bye Bye Birdie"?
Hell, I don't know.

Ultimately, considering
where I've come from

and the type of people
that I grew up with,

never in a million years

did I think I'd be in this place.

Some levity.

Good.

Anthony, I hope you are

as proud of what you've achieved
as I am for you.

Thank you, Tim, for everything.

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

but I want you to think about
the legacy you're going to have.

You're on the cover
of marie claire magazine.

- I know, Tim.
- Whoo!

- Y'all be good.
- We love you, Anthony.

I got eliminated today,

but I still have breath in my body

to change my tomorrow,

so don't cry for Anthony, honey.

Matter of fact, toss back one for me.

I still think that greatness awaits.

Next time on Project Runway...

You'll be designing for a celebrity.

This person does have
a little bit of a reputation

for being opinionated, headstrong,

and knowing what they want.

And I'm glad that I'm not in your shoes.

I'm sweating like a freaking pig here.

[Jonathan]
It's insanity in here.

Where the hell is my...

It's definitely becoming
a huge pressure cooker.

Designers, may I have your attention?

Oh, my God.

I'm really shocked.

All of our little worlds
have just been turned upside down.

I'm as stunned as you all are.

you've seen on tonight's show.
