All right, tell us about your

Looks and who did what.

Well, we wanted to make two
pieces that we felt, like,

Represented, like, the modern
new york woman.

She wants to look good, whether
she's outside or inside.

The hunter green jacket is what
I created.

Um, underneath is the dress that
gunnar created, and he also did

The neck piece for it as well.

And then, next to her is
claudia, who's wearing the, um,

Sleeveless trench that, um,
chris made, and gunnar also made

The dress underneath his jacket
as well.

Yeah, let's have a look at
the dress completely.

First off, to get sportswear
out there and keep it luxurious

And elevated is really a trick,
and you guys managed to do that

In spades.

And when I look at the jersey
and leather dress, the play of

Textures is great.

I think it's doing kind of cool
things for her body.

Could we see the camel coat,
though, back on again?

Sure.

You know, a camel-hair coat
is very tricky to tailor, so I

Think you took a lot of time.

There was a lot of thought.

My favorite piece is sonjia's
jacket.

That is an exquisite-looking
jacket.

I think that many women would
love to have this little jacket.

It's really pretty, and I
haven't seen anything like that

Before.

I love the tailoring of this
jacket.

It looks expensive, it looks
well-made.

I love it from the front, and I
love it from the back.

It hits her perfectly, and it's
very sharp.

I like the camel coat very much.

I love the collar.

I think it's dramatic, but not
too much, and I think it was

Very clever not to make the
sleeves in the same color.

Phenomenal job.

Thank you.

So, since you are the winning
team, who do you think should be

The winner?

Looking at the full looks,
gunnar did--made--made two

Dresses, and they're pretty
bad-a*s, so I would have to give

Him the--the title.

Gunnar, who do you think
should win?

I think that I would be a
contender, but I don't want that

To sound pugnacious.

Sonjia?

I think I did a great job
with my jacket, so--

Don't be--
I would pick myself.

Totally.

Okay.
Models, you can leave the
runway.

Thank you.

Alicia, dmitry, elena, tell us
about your looks and who did

What.

Do you want to go first?

Mm-mmm.

Well, I made this look.

I made the dress and the shawl.

So, basically, we wanted to make
something structural, modern,

But feminine at the same time,
and with the shawl, I was trying

To kind of balance that hard and
soft a little bit.

I did the pants and the top,
elena did the coat, and I think,

Since we had to incorporate an
outerwear piece, that was kind

Of like our focal point and the
starting point, but overall, we

Wanted to keep it clean and
modern.

Elena, you look a little bit
funny, upset.

I didn't feel like it was
fair, the work split between us.

I feel like dmitry took over
a little bit.

I feel like he made a dress and
a shawl, and he didn't let us

Split the work evenly, so me and
alicia had to share an outfit,

And I'm just--you know, it's
a little bit unfair.

You're saying that I wasn't
compromising, but what did you

Compromise?

I was--i took all your geometry
and put it in my dress.

I compromised by making only
one piece, when you guys did,

Like, almost, uh, an outfit.

I was a team player, so don't go
there with me, okay?

I just want to add that, you
know, I'm always open for ideas

And for compromise, but I feel
like working with elena, it just

Impossible.

Oh, it's impossible with me.

Exactly, because whatever I
say, it's always positive.

First of all, the whole
collection had to be built

Around your dress, because you
don't know how to do anything

Else.

You started--
[laughs]

All right.
You only do a dress.

Okay. Come on.
That's all you do.

You always make coffins,
you know, that don't move.

Okay, whatever, whatever.

So...we're even now.
Okay.

I can't believe it.

[Laughs]
[sighs]

All righty, then.

Nina, what do you think?

Well, this certainly did not
work as a team challenge for you

Guys.

I'm gonna start with the dress.

I think dmitry knows how to
deliver on that.

However, we keep seeing dresses
and dresses from you.

I think the shawl, even though
it is well made, looked old

Lady, and looked like it didn't
belong with the dress.

If we move to the other outfit,
you do these coats all the time,

Elena.

Mm-hmm.

Things that have volume.

But this volume looks, actually,
like it's a mistake.

What happens when you close it?

Can we see it closed for a
little bit?

It definitely needs to be
closed to look better.

You complained that he only does
dresses, but you only do

Oversized coats.

I'm the only one on the
team--

That can do it.

That could have done it.

I could have done it as well.

You wanted to make a coat.

You made it.

And you said you didn't have
enough to do, so you could have

Made nicer coat.

To be honest with you, and
particularly, the coat looks

Very inexpensive.

It looks like it's a--i don't
know, like an experiment.

I think, if you're the queen
of tailoring, I mean--

Um, I didn't label myself as
the queen of tailoring, ever.

Well, you're like, "well, I'm
the person who's gonna make the

Coat."
A coat, yeah.

Well, so you're saying you
know how to tailor a coat.

If you walked into a store and
saw a coat that was kicking up

And going in a hundred
directions and doing all of

That, certainly you wouldn't
say, "oh, well, that's from

A coat expert."

Oh, my god.

This may be not one of my best
works or whatever.

I usually finish things really
well, and if I had more time,

I would have.

And then, what did you do?

Did you just do the pant and the
top?

Yeah, I did the pants and
the top.

Pbbbt.

I'm falling asleep over
these two pieces.

They are two throwaway
pieces.

They're not interesting enough.

Why didn't you guys help her?

I was telling her, like, to
make something more intricate

For the top, but i--i don't
know.

I mean, I also ran into time
issues with these things too,

So there's also that.

The pants, yeah, they fit her
nicely.

So what?

They could have had some
detailing on them.

And then the top, that cut that
you've stitched in the middle of

Her body doesn't even really
change the shape of the top.

Right.

So, it's intellectual with no
purpose.

Yeah.

You ended up making things
kind of because that's what was

Left.

You know, she's the coat queen,
he's the dress king.

I don't think anyone was working
together.

It just--it shows.

All the conflict that was
going on, all the conversation

That we've heard from all of
you, reflects in the clothes.

That's the important lesson that
you have to learn is that, when

You're expressing yourself,
the joy and the love has to come

Through, not the anger, because
that's not what people are gonna

Buy.

You've got to learn how to work
together.

So, I'm a little nervous to
ask this question, but if one

Person on your team had to go
home, who would it be?

[Sighs]
dmitry could have spread

The work more evenly throughout
the team, and so I'm gonna say

Dmitry.

Dmitry, what do you think?

All the negativity and
screaming and cursing was

Absolutely unnecessary.

It made just the communication
impossible, and I think she's

The one who should go home.

Alicia?

Overall, I respect elena
more, as a designer, so I'd have

To say dmitry.

Okay.

Models, you can leave the
runway.

Thank you.

All right, melissa, fabio, ven,

Tell us about your looks and who
did what.

So, our idea for this
collection was, we took fall,

Um, to heart, so there's still
a little bit of that lingering

From summer, the lightness, so
that's why the outerwear coat is

Made of mohair, which is a
fabric that is gonna keep you

Warm, but it doesn't have that
weight on you.

But, at the same time, she's not
all dressed for winter yet.

Um, I made the skirt and the
pants melissa drafted, melissa

Made the leather jacket and
the clutches, and fabio made the

Knit tops and the mohair coat.

I particularly like the white
jacket.

Was that yours, melissa?

Yes.

It was very nicely done.

It fits her beautifully.

On the second look, the knit is
maybe too tight.

Can we take the jacket off?

Too sheer, too tight.

Yeah, that's not such a great
look.

Can I see them interchange the
jackets for one minute?

I don't know.

It wasn't my favorite collection
from you guys.

I have to say, your team was
my least favorite team.

I wouldn't want any of those
pieces, apart from the white

Jacket.

I'm sorry.

It looks to me really sad.

It looks too washed out.

I don't know how you can put
such a thin fabric over these

Pants.

How do the pants look on the
top?

It's like a jay-legged pant.

Yeah, they look horrible.

Something should have been in
that crotch that a girl doesn't

Have.

Yeah.

I mean, that's a weird-looking
crotch, so I understand why you

Wanted to hide that.

For me, this didn't work at all.

I like the white jacket, and
that's about it.

The mohair coat's a full
flop.

Oh.

I mean, to me, it's a grandma
housecoat.

She should have kleenex in her
pocket.

I mean, it's just--
it just hangs.

It's sad.

What I'm mystified is, where are
you in all of this?

None of this looks like anything
that you would ever touch.

Yeah, I actually started
working on a piece, and it's

Finished.

The lining is finished.

And they didn't want to use it.

You normally are, like, king
of construction, and then, all

Of a sudden, today, you kind of
got--the first project you'd get

At design school would be to
make that skirt.

I look at it all and, you know,
thank god, she's got that clutch

Bag covering her crotch, so no
one's staring at it.

So, you've got some clutch bags
and a white leather jacket.

How much money did you guys
raise?

We made a lot.

We made $800.

Wow.

That's a lot of money.

Yeah.

You were the group that had
the most money.

It really does look inexpensive.

It looks worn to me.

It looks like hand me downs.

It looks poor.

Like, they look so droopy
and rolled.

The knit is sloppy, the pant
is sloppy.

It just does not look luxe at
all, and you had the money, and

You had the fabrics.

So, if one of you guys had to
go home, who would it be?

Honestly, it would be so
difficult to pick one person,

'Cause we really did put a lot
of effort in thinking about

That.

Well, then, the question is,
whose garments are the weakest

Garments?

Whose garments are the
weakest garments?

I don't think I could answer
that question.

Oh, okay.

I think we're--i think we
were happy with--i have to

Answer?

No, but what do you think is
the weak link, as far as a

Garment?

I mean, we really didn't want
to go there, but...

[Groans]
maybe it was just the jacket

Maybe needed, like, an
interlining.

So, you're saying fabio?

So, you think the coat's
the weak garment?

The coat, but i--but he did
put a lot of work into it.

Fabio, what do you think?

I'm gonna choose from
affinities.

I'm closest to melissa.

Uh, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

[Laughs]
melissa, what about you?

Gosh.

You know, I would say the top.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

So, he'd go.

Fabio.

I'm sorry.

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

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

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

♪ ♪

Okay, let's talk about the
winner.

Who should be the winner from
the winning team?

My favorite jacket was--
sonjia's.

Sonjia's.

Sonjia's.

Yeah, that was beautiful.

Impeccably crafted, but also,
I think there was some real

Design in it.

Yeah.

I mean, that jacket looked
like a $2,000 jacket.

Beautiful.

Sharp, well-fit.

They were the only ones that
actually spent their money

Right.

They bought expensive fabric,
and it looked expensive.

But also, nina, they knew how
to use the fabrics.

Mm-hmm.

That's the thing, yeah.

I mean, christopher also did
a nice coat.

It happens to be one of the
most difficult fabrics to work

With, and I think that he
managed to make a camel-hair

Coat that had edge, that looked
modern--

Beautiful.

And different.

For as beautiful as sonjia's
jacket is, editorially, this is

Far more interesting.

Yes.

It will photograph very
nicely.

Yes.

That was really stellar.

Yeah, beautiful.

It was also very nice that
they gave gunnar two pieces,

Because he was on the chopping
board...

Oh, okay.

Last week, and so he really
wanted to step it up and do two

Outfits, and he did two
beautiful dresses.

The dresses were great.

I think he did a really good
job.

Yeah, it all worked together,
and you could see that they

Worked together, and they made
a cohesive look, but they used

Everybody's strengths.

So, now let's talk about who
should go home.

Definitely, alicia, dmitry, and
elena had a huge problem.

They all didn't get along.

It all has to come cohesively
together, and in this instance,

They were all operating on
a separate kind of agenda,

And it sounded like dmitry was
desperate to show that he could

Do a head-to-toe look, when, in
fact, the shawl had nothing to

Do with that dress.

And he probably thought it
would dominate.

Yeah, fill the space.

Yeah.

I mean, elena, the queen of
coats, well, excuse me, that

Coat looked like it was, you
know, sewn with her feet.

It was just not good.

She thinks she's some great
designer that is so avant-garde.

That's why I was asking you
guys, I said, to me, it looks

Big.

It looks like she's swimming in
it.

It looked tortured.

Just like her whole attitude
towards what she was doing.

It came through on the clothes.

I know, she's angry.

She's angry.

We saw it.

And it was an angry coat.

Very angry.

Yeah.

But, at least it's ambitious.

Then, you have--
alicia, who didn't have any

Designs.
Alicia--i-i don't--she had
nothing

Passive.

No spirit. There was nothing.
Yeah.

At least dmitry and elena were
fighting for attention.

Mm-hmm.

Alicia was fighting for
nothing.

Yeah.

All right, let's talk about
melissa, fabio, and ven.

It seems to me like they had
an easy time working together.

But I think everyone was
being so nice that there was

A complacency going on that no
one was challenging.

The worst thing that happens
is a roomful of everyone, like,

Saying, "aren't we fabulous?"
[Laughter]

"We're so fabulous."

Everyone was so, kind of, happy
together that they never stood

Back and said, "wait a second.

Really, when we look at these
garments, what do we have?"

They don't have much.

A frumpy skirt, an
ill-fitting pant, two

Ill-fitting tops, and a frumpy
coat.

Normally, this guy, ven, I
mean, he does, like, really

Intricate-worked clothes.

I mean, listen.

No, but the pieces that he
made for these two looks,

They're not cool.

I mean, that frumpy skirt down
to here is not cool.

It's a dirndl that you could
wear to, like, a beer hall.

[Laughs]
fabio, you know, he loves to

Talk.

He's so articulate.

But, realistically, look at the
three garments that he made.

These two t-shirts, which are
a whole lot of nothing--

Nothing.

And then this sad mohair
housecoat.

Really, what did he do?

They had the most money.

They could have made this look
expensive and perfect, and they

Managed to make this a flop.

Yeah.

Okay, so we've made our
decision?

Okay, let's bring them back out.

Next time on

You will be creating
a textile design and a modern

Runway look.

So I think it's really
important to dig deep and

Really make it matter.

this challenge is the perfect

Opportunity to show your soul.

I hate prints.

With that print, pac-man is
