[bunniefuu]

Previously on
project runway...

You're designing a
performance look and a red

Carpet look for miranda lambert.

Oh, my god.

Oh, I love her.

Yes!

I feel like all of a sudden
I've just struck gold in

Myself.

Both of you have.

This is really great.

It's weird to be my age and
still struggle with insecurity,

You know?

Where's your confidence?

You got to find that, dude.

Even she--we were, like,
hammering her, and she was like,

"I still love it.

I love ac/dc."

You should never forget hair
metal.

How elegant is this dress?

Thank you.

That means so much.

You're both in.

Miranda, would you like to tell
us who the winner is?

The winner of this challenge
is richard.

Yay!

[Applause]
daniel, your outfit looked

Cheap and dated.

Michelle, your look was too
'80s rock for us.

Matt, you clearly lost your way.

You're out.

This is project runway...

Good morning.

Call the car, ben.

Call the car.

Let's hit it.

Bye, atlas.

Hello.

All: hi.

Are you ready for your next
challenge?

All: yes.

Well, michelle, you don't
have a partner.

So I guess I have to fix that.

[Laughter]
whichever name I draw will be

The team that you join.

Patricia.

Oh!

Hey, guys.

Perfect seat setup.

Wonderful.

I love michelle's sense of
design, so I think this is good.

We have a very special
challenge for you that will

Teach you that fashion is
timeless.

You will need to meet tim, and
he will tell you all about the

Next challenge.

Good luck, and I'll see you back

Bye, everybody.

All: bye.

Push it, push it, go slow.

Push it, push it, around slow.

We walk into this dance
hall, and I'm seeing elderly

People, I'm seeing jazzercise.

Push it!

And freeze right here.

[Cheers and applause]
fabulous.

Good morning, designers.

All: good morning.

I want to welcome you to the
midtown loft dance hall.

Ladies, we so loved your dancing
prowess.

Congratulations.

Designers, in the real world,
fashion designers work with

Clients of all ages, and
project runway is no exception.

Good fashion is both ageless and
timeless.

So for this challenge, these
fabulous women are your new

Clients and models.

[Cheers and applause]
[tim laughing]

Each member of each design
team will create a look that's

Fashionable and stunning for one
of these fabulous women.

You've been randomly assigned
clients, and it's up to your

Team to decide which designer
works with which client.

There's absolutely no need or
expectation that these looks be

Cohesive.

You need to channel who you are
as a designer through the wants

And needs of your client.

You're going to have


New clients, get to know their
wants and needs, and also to

Sketch.

Then we'll be going off to mood.

You have one day for this
challenge.

All right, are you ready to meet
your new clients?

Yes.

First up, we have benjamin
and amanda.

You are working with holly and
rosily.

Ooh.

Kate and tu, you're working
with sheryl and bonnie lee.

Hello, there.

Daniel and samantha, you are
working with susan and patricia.

Richard and stanley, you are
working with iris and deborah.

Hello. How are you?

And our three-person design
team, patricia, layana, and

Michelle, you are working with
beatrice, sue, and joan.

All: hi.

So, design teams and clients,
head off.

Carry on, everyone.

I mean, before we figure out
who's doing what, I guess we

Need to figure out what you guys
want.

Yeah, what are you looking
for?

Oh, I would like something
elegant that I could wear to a

Fashionable movie premiere.

How do you feel about color?

I love color. I paint.

You paint?

I do oil painting.

Oh, I like you in a print.

Would you be open to a print?

You should have the option of
dancing.

Of dancing. Okay.

I want a celebration outfit.

You just want to be elegant
and sexy.

Do you want a dress?

Do you want pants?

I like the harem pants a lot.

So maybe it'd be really cool
even if we had, like, a strip of

Some color.

As long as it's flattering,
I don't care.

Cindy crawford, watch out.

I love that you do black and
white 'cause I do black and

White.

Leopard.

[Gasps] I love leopard.

This is a good thing.

Do you like print?

Um...

Not really.

I'm talking about, like, a
gypsy thing.

Oh, yeah, she's our bohemian
girl.

You're gonna be so good with
tu.

Oh, you're good at that?

Yeah.

Ladies, we're going to let
you get back to your dancing

While I take the designers off
to mood.

You'll see your clients later
today for a fitting.

All right, designers.

Off we go.

Bye, ladies.

Bye.

Designers, you have


Oh!

Designers, time is up.

Everyone needs to be at the
counter, checking out, please.

[Beep]
all: thank you, mood.

This is cool.

Yeah.

It's like denim, but it's
not--

But it's not.

It's so luxurious.

Does this make it more
interesting?

I like the neckline.

I'd be careful to be too big.

Our challenge today is to
design a timeless look for one

Of these mature ladies.

Hi, everybody.

Hi.

How is everyone?

Hey.

Good.

I'm here to check in with
you, okay?

Okay.

All right.

So, richard and stanley, who are
your clients?

Ms. Iris.

She wants to be comfortable.

That was a big thing for her.

I love the jersey knit because
it's comfortable.

I was thinking about maybe doing
even a line this thick just to

Add a little hint of color going
down the side.

As soon as you start talking
about running these very wide

Trims down the garment...

It cheapens it, you think?

No, I actually think it helps
it.

Yeah.

Just look at the width of
this so that it doesn't

Overwhelm her.

Okay.

Stanley, what are you up to?

I said, "what if we just make
a tailor pant with darts and a

Strapless?"
And she goes, "I want a jacket

Over it."

Have you cut anything,
stanley, no?

No, I've made the pattern.

I'm gonna cut everything and
have it ready for the fitting.

Just do as much as you can to
prepare for the fitting.

Okay.

Yeah.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Thanks, mr. Gunn.

So how are kate and tu?

We're doing good, tim.

Great.

Sheryl, she doesn't like to
do sexy with skin.

And what is this?

This is gonna be the fabric
for the skirt.

We have this intensely dark
top.

Mm-hmm.

It reads winter in a way.

It reads heavy.

And then we have the skirt
that's light, buoyant, and reads

Spring.

What I see you doing with this
is basically cutting her in

Half with these two parts.

So, tu, let's talk to you.

Yep.

So what are you making?

Is it a coat dress?

Yes.

Oh, okay.

Yes.

This is incredibly ambitious
tailoring.

Thank you.

So can you do all this?

Yes.

Okay. All right.

I like positive thinking.

Yes.

Thank you both.

Thanks so much, tim.

Thank you.

Daniel, samantha, how are
you?

Hello.

Real good. Hello, tim.

So what are you doing for
sue?

She said, "daniel, I want a
sexy, black suit."

I'm doing her this molded
jacket.

Oh, and the pants are just
classic, straight, very, very

Simple.

Okay.

Samantha, what are you doing?

Hi. Hello.

So patricia said she loves
leopard, and I love leopard.

I know you do.

So as soon as she said that,
there was no need to go any

Further, like...

It's done.

It's done.

The only thing I wouldn't
reject is the idea of possibly

Using some evidence of the
black.

I'm not saying all black.

Split these up.

That was my initial--was to
break it up.

You were right.

Okay.

Do it.

I'm happy.

All right.

All: thank you.

So how's team threesome?

[Laughter]
let's keep going.

Okay.

Let's do.

Okay, michelle.

My client is sue.

I'm not a huge print lady, but
this print spoke to me.

When I first came in the
workroom, the skirt wasn't on

This.

Right.

I just saw the top, and I
thought, "woe is me."

Oh, god.

But when you put the skirt
on, it transformed it.

Oh, good.

So, layana...

My client is joan.

Her skin complexion's a little
darker than me.

So this is gonna just look so
beautiful on her.

It would be beautiful on her.

Yes.

And you.

Both: beatrice.

She said she wanted something
to wear in the evening to go out

Dancing.

What is it?

This will be sort of like a
shawl that goes over.

It's a poncho.

Well, I was thinking of it as
a shawl.

It's not a shawl.

It's a poncho-straganza.

So what's underneath this?

She has a sleeveless top.

She has a sleeveless top, and
then she has a full wraparound

Skirt.

The more volume your clothes
have, the more volume you appear

To have.

It does not hide anything.

All right. Thank you.

Thanks, tim.

Thank you, tim.

Coming up on
project runway...

Tim is concerned.

This isn't good.

I'm hating this look.

She needs to go home.

So how are amanda and ben?

Good, yes.

We're good.

Ben.

I have holly.

She's a little bit straight up
and down.

This is all about silhouette,
proportion, and fit.

You're working with a style
that, if it's not proportioned

Right, could look really
matronly.

And you did such a beautiful job
on the gown the last challenge.

That was fun, I know.

And keeping it modern.

I really want to keep the
momentum of that going, so...

Yeah, you need to.

And you.

I was crazy about this
fabric.

You were?

I was, but right now I'm
looking at it, and it feels

Vintage housecoat to me.

I'm not going to disagree.

I would wear it, but I don't
think she would.

What do we all do with a
vintage housecoat to make it

Modern?

I mean, I think--
give it some shape.

Nip it in a bit, yeah.

If the shape is more like
this, very nipped in at the

Waist and kicked out at the
bottom, does that make you less

Nervous?

Yes.

What you don't want to have
happen is have her sell you out

On the runway.

Thank you both.

Thanks, tim. Bye.

Thanks.

Hello.

Hi, ladies.

[Indistinct chatter]
you are very tiny.

Oh, my god.

Don't wake me up, okay, 'cause I
know I'm dreaming.

She just said that's a little
wild.

It's wild, but I think it's
gonna be great.

Do you want to come and have
a quick look in the mirror?

[Laughter]
oh, that's okay.

Okay.

I got goosed.

That's funny.

You like that length?

Yes.

This is gonna be more like
that, or will it be?

I mean...

I see that my team members were
totally right.

It looks more like a horizontal
bib.

I'm hating this look.

It's just a mess.

Okay, I'll leave it loose then.

And I'm not liking that you're
not happy.

But I don't know what to do,
because if I have to have

Certain...things, I'm not sure
how to, like...manage the

Proportion.

Okay, here we are.

It's time to go, everybody.

I'm nervous, I'm scared.

Tomorrow I'm just gonna take the
chance of starting over with

A new look.

I should have done my own thing.

Here, use these ones.

Yeah.

Oh, don't stab yourself.

Thank you.

So much of this.
[Ripping]

Good morning, designers.

Good morning, tim.

You will have two hours to
send your clients to the l'oreal

Paris hair and makeup rooms and
prep them for the runway.

Use the lord & taylor wall very
thoughtfully.

I'll see you a little later.

All right.

All right, thank you.

Thanks, tim.

Bye.

[Grinding]
oh, you [bleep]!

I run out of fabric for the
sleeves.

It's ugly.

It's just one mistake after
another.

How you doing, patricia?

I'm gonna pull it off.

I changed the look.

I put the dress on her.

My model should look fantastic,
but, like, because of the bad

Sewing and the proportion, it
make it look a bit confused.

I'm...i'm not confident.

Yes. Whoo!

Work it, girl.

It fits her perfect.

She is feeling so good about
herself.

And I really think the judges
can see that.

I'm just smiling from ear to

She is so freaking cute right

She looks amazing.

The fit looks great.

Yes!

My garment is totally me.

It looked amazing.

I could see a lot of people
wearing it.

I feel really, really good
about susan

Going down the runway.

She looks confident, and she
looks amazing.

She requested a black, sexy
suit,

And I know I accomplished that.

Perfect.

I feel great about the print.

I think it's a cute front of the
dress.

But when she turns, I feel the
entire room cringe.

I just wanna scream for another
chance...because I've totally

Botched this one.

Mm-hmm.

She looks gorgeous.

She has a new hairstyle, and I
think she's just loving every

Minute of it.

the most important thing to me

Is that the client's happy, and
my client was ecstatic.

So I was proud of that.

Michelle, layana, patricia,
congratulations.

Your scores have qualified you
to move on to the next

Challenge.

Thank you so much.

But before you guys leave the
runway...

Michelle and layana, I actually
gave the two of you the highest

Scores out of anyone today.

Oh!

Oh, thank you!
-Thanks.

But...

But we're just safe.

It was actually patricia's
lowest score that kept your team

From being on the top.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

That, again, is to show you

How important it is to work as a
team.

Thank you, you guys can leave
the runway.

Thank you.

The rest of you have the
highest and the lowest scores.

One of you will be the winner of
this challenge, and one of you

Will be out.

Richard and stanley...

Samantha and daniel...

Your teams have the higher
scores.

Rock and roll! Yes!

[Both sigh]
kate and tu...

Amanda and benjamin, your teams
have the lower scores.

I'm gonna talk to the teams with
the higher scores first, and

Then I'm gonna bring you back
out.

You guys can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Daniel and samantha, please tell
us about your looks.

When I met susan, she told me
that she was going on a cruise

And that she wanted a sexy,
black suit.

So I thought it was a cool idea
to do just a really cool, black

Jacket but kinda just have the
lapel come up, a nice shoulder

Line, and then just a classic
skinny pant, something she could

Put on and go.

Susan, how do you like your
outfit?

I think it's stunning, and I
feel hip.

You gave it a little twist by
doing this neckline just on one

Side.

You're also very smart giving
her, one, what she wants, and,

Two, I can see you still in this
design, which is what your

Challenge was.

Thank you.

Welcome back.

Thank you.

I really like this jacket.

You accentuated the best of her,
and I love that you gave her a

Little bit of color.

You look great.

You probably exercise.

But you look like a first wife.

[Laughter]
I would like to see you look

More like a gilf.

[Laughter]
the three details that really

Stand out to me, which are the
neckline, the fabric-manipulated

Waist, and then the detail at
the elbow--that's your way of

Saying this is more than just a
simple, black suit.

Okay, samantha, tell us about
your look.

I started off by asking,
"what types of colors or prints

Or patterns do you gravitate
towards?"

And she said "leopard," and I
was like, we don't need to go

Any further.

She just lost 30 pounds, and so
she wanted to show off her arms,

Her legs, and her tattoos.

Patricia, how do you like
your outfit?

Absolutely love it.

I wanted something that was
gonna really show off

Everything, and I feel great.

I think she is a menopausal
kitten.

I think she looks great.

That dress says, "I'm not dead
yet."

Thank you.

The way you walked the runway
that you have a little bit more

Of a spunky personality,
you're a little sassy.

From a fashion point of view,
though, I do not like it.

I love leopard.

I just don't love it in that
silhouette.

I don't love the poofy sleeves.

It's not working for me.

Her hair, her ankle bracelet,
her tattoos are giving a very

Racy vibe, and all of a sudden,
you have this little princess

Sleeve and this little bow?

It's like a very mixed message.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you, patricia and
susan.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Richard and stanley, tell us
about your looks.

So we went to the dance
studio, and immediately when I

Walked in, I connected eyes with
deborah.

She just had this elegance about
her that just drew me to her.

So I came up with a little
strapless jumpsuit with a

Cigarette pant and a little
bolero.

Deborah, how do you feel
about your look?

I love it.

If I saw this outfit, I would
definitely buy it.

I have to say I like what you
did.

I wish the pant situation was a
little bit better.

You mean, like, longer?

Longer, yes.

Because I wanna keep running to
the stage and just pull the

Pants down.

I wanna just go...because it
feels like it's been crawling

Up.

Also the crotch area is not as
perfect as I would like to see

It.

Okay.

But overall, I think it looks
great.

Thank you.

Now she screams "second
wife."

You know what I mean?

She looks age-appropriate sexy.

I just think, bingo.

Richard, tell us about your
look.

One of the things that ms.
Iris said to me was that she

Wanted something that, if she
wanted to wear a small heel, it

Could dress up, or if she wanted
to wear boots or leggings in the

Wintertime, she can wear that
and, you know, dress it down.

But my main thing with her was I
wanted to make sure that she was

Comfortable wearing it.

Iris, how do you like your
look?

I like it a lot.

It's extremely comfortable, I
love the colors, and I also

Think it's a little sexy.

It's easy, it's chic, and it
shows her legs.

You know, at this age, you're
happy to show whatever god's

Left you.

She actually wanted it a
little bit longer--

She's wrong.

And when she put it on--
that's what I said!

You've got great knees.

"It's a little short," and I
go, "you look great."

So show them, b*tch, don't be
a fool.

Yes! See, I told you!

You know, I wrote down,
"it's nice, it's interesting,

And I would love to have it
too."

I think it's a very easy
silhouette.

It is something that would work
on many body types.

However, I know she wants easy,
and I know she wants

Comfortable, but I think this
ends up drowning her a little

Bit.

I don't know.

If you would have had the
leggings and the boots, I would

Say, like, "wow, this woman
looks really cool."

But she doesn't have the
leggings or the boots.

I don't know, I just think you
could have pushed yourself a

Little more, richard.

Deborah and iris, thank you.

You can leave the runway.

You're welcome.

You're very welcome.

Thank you.

Thank you.

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

We're gonna talk to the teams
with the lower scores, and then

I'll call you back out.

You can leave the runway.

All: thank you.

Benjamin, amanda, please tell
us about your looks.

She's a painter and a
musician and has traveled the

World.

And once I found this print, I
thought it was kind of a fun,

Abstract way to do things.

I just wanted to give it some
flirty shape and interesting

Neckline.

Rosily, how do you like
your look?

I like this very much.

It's comfortable, casual, and I
think this can be worn to many

Different places.

I think putting an abstract
print on a dress for a painter,

There's something quite clever
about that.

But unfortunately, that's really
where it stops for me because,

From the neck to the hem, it's
a mistake, one after the other.

It's a bad hemline.

The sleeves are--it--
it's just wrong.

It's too flowy on the arms.

It's too flowy on the skirt.

Looks very hippie in a way?

I almost wanna see you with,
like, dream catchers and like,

"Whoo-hoo!"
I don't know--

[Laughter]
and you know how you kind of

Left it long in the front, and
in the back, you kind of put

These pieces together like--
why did you do that?

We did start with a slimmer
silhouette, and she wanted a

Little more kick.

It was some 11th hour.

Like, it looks like she sits
on something, glue, and it's

Stuck together by accident in
the back.

It looks like a mistake.

You can't have a print like
that plus the flowy, then the

Sort of hard-edged keyhole in
the front?

I feel like you tried to make a
cake with whatever was in the

Kitchen rather than getting the
right ingredients.

It's too girly.

It's not dignified.

Looks like it's for a child.

Benjamin, tell us about your
look.

Holly and I have got on like
a house on fire.

She's got such an exuberant
personality and such a young

Spirit.

And she wanted a party dress.

The turquoisey color was by
request from holly.

And I always like to do classic
with a bit of a twist.

But I guess literally I've put a
twist here just to give it a

Little bit of interest with the
detail.

Holly, what do you think of
your look?

He read me, and I feel like
an elegant, young princess in

This, and I'm far from young.

I have to say, I think that
you are adorable.

But I hate to burst your bubble.

I don't love this dress on you
at all!

I'm sorry.

To me, this dress on you looks
like you just can't wait for the

Party to be over, so you can
take this dress off.

It looks so tight.

It looks tight around your
chest.

It looks tight around your
waist.

It looks so tight on your arms.

I mean, the seams are just,
like, screaming.

But I move comfortably in it.

It doesn't look like it,
though.

You know yourself very well,
holly.

This is your color.

There's just so many different
things wrong with the

Construction.

I think you tried to
manipulate this fabric too much,

And it looks like it's not
happy.

I mean, I guess it's perhaps
working better with the skirt.

Now, the skirt is also
lopsided.

You've got a lot of construction
issues here, benjamin.

Oh, okay.

It makes you look heavy and
stiff like you're hiding the

Liberty bell underneath you.

I take your criticism, but I
refuse to blame benjamin.

Holly, rosily, thank you very
much.

Both of you can leave the
runway.

Benjamin, amanda, how did you
two work together?

We probably had to be a
little bit more focused

Individually this time.

I think I really could have
used more of benjamin's

Assistance.

Yeah, I was checking in
probably on the hour every

Hour--"how you going?"
Amanda, what about your input

To ben's look?

I really--i felt good about
my input.

Yeah. And there were moments
where, you know, it was like,

You know, "should I put this on
or..." And amanda would be quite

Quick to answer.

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

Tu, kate, let's bring out your
models.

Please tell us about your looks.

I asked her which is her
favorite color, so I go for

Green.

The fabric, I choose wool
because I want to give the rich

Texture to it.

But I think the problem is very
bad sewing, and i-i really,

Like, sorry to let her down.

Bonnie, what do you think of
your look?

He understood my color.

He understood what I wanted to
feature, what I wanted to hide.

He did have to work very, very
fast, though.

I was a bit let down with the
final result.

Well, I think the color is
very flattering.

But I do think there is an
overabundance of fabric that is

Swallowing you up.

That's kind of accurate.

It kind of does have an
easiness to it, but it almost

Looks to me as if you just kind
of put it across and held it

Together with the belt.

What happens if you undo the
belt?

Will it all fall apart?

[Laughs] yes.

Yes?

Oh, if that happens, it's
like...

I cannot believe you sent
this woman out here with the

Belt holding her dress closed.

You're a daring woman.

You and I can sit down, and
we'll say, "so, you know, who

Died?"
It's an old lady dress.

And he's 11 years old.

It's, like, my very first
time making something for a

Mature lady.

You don't have to even say
it.

You haven't got a [bleep] clue
in hell who you're designing

For.

[Laughter]
my question though is did you

Step in to help?

We had a very limited amount
of time, but I did end up

Finishing, like, ten minutes
early, and I tried to help to do

Last-minute fitting things.

Ten minutes just wasn't enough.

Kate, tell us about your
look.

She's an interior designer,
and so she really appreciates

Structure and texture and lines.

So the skirt has this fitted
section right here, and I boned

It there to give her an
hourglass.

Sheryl, how do you like your
look?

I'm pleased beyond.

I feel I could walk right
out of here like I've owned it

Forever.

Thank you.

I love the fabric.

It is joyful...but at the same
time, appropriate.

Your client is so happy in
it, you're like john travolta

In a massage parlor.

I mean, you are just--
it's wonderful.

Kate, I actually liked your
look.

I didn't give it a bad score.

Thank you.

I think, kate, that you would
not be in the bottom today if it

Wasn't for tu.

That's okay.

I think we work really well
together.

I really felt like I wasn't
getting any respect on my team.

But tu respected me, and it was
the first time I felt that in

This whole competition.

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

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

Thank you.
You can leave the runway.

Okay, first let's start with
the team that had the

Higher scores.

Let's talk about richard and
stanley's looks.

I thought deborah looked really
great in the jumpsuit and the

Jacket.

She looked sophisticated, and
she looked comfortable.

She was a really elegant
woman, and I think he captured

That regalness that she had in
his design.

Right.

Small little changes could
have perhaps made it a slight

Bit better.

The pant length and the
pleats in the front, 'cause the

Tailoring in the back was
spot-on.

He made an almost impeccable
pantsuit, but that's very hard.

That's much harder than just
making a shift dress.

Yes.

He wasn't playing it safe.

Let's talk about richard.

I thought there was more
potential there.

See, I thought it was so
youthful.

I would almost wear that
dress...with leggings and with

Boots.

Like how they were talking about
it--i'm like, "yeah! Leggings

And boots.

Why didn't you rock that?"
I love the dress.

Because it would work under a
coat, it would work at a

Business meeting.

It's for every age.

That is true.

It's very versatile.

Okay, let's talk about
samantha and daniel.

I actually didn't like
samantha's at all.

Is it the color?

It's the princess sleeve with
the bow!

Yeah, with the bow.

Where are we going?

It looks like she stole her
daughter's dress.

It does!

All right.

She took her daughter's dress,
but look, she can wear it.

She could wear it.

No, she can fit in it.

She can close the zipper, but
she shouldn't, really.

She's in an ankle bracelet
and a tattoo and buzz haircut,

And, yes, she should wear a
dress that looks like that.

Let's talk about daniel's
look.

Daniel came back from the
grave.

It was back to the beautiful
tailoring, expensive-looking.

Sophisticated.

For the work that had gone
into the jacket, which was

Lovely with the detailing,
it didn't pop.

Okay, let's talk about the
designs that we didn't like

So much.

Let's talk about benjamin and
amanda.

I mean...

That was hard.

That was very hard.

That was really difficult.

You have holly, who was so
cute, and she just stands by her

Benjamin.

I mean, it looked like there was
no blood going through her arms.

Like, it was tight, like this.

She was so trapped in that
dress.

Yeah.

And she didn't need the extra


Structured skirt with tulle
under it.

Okay, let's talk about
amanda.

She didn't take her client
into consideration at all.

She looked like she came out
of a time machine, and she still

Was wearing the dress that she
had worn going in, you know?

[Laughter]
when she was 15.

Yes!

It did look like a little
girl's dress.

Why did she join the back
like that?

To hide the mistake.

Like two little pieces of
napkin.

Okay, let's talk about tu and
kate.

And we actually all liked...

Oh, my god, we loved her
outfit.

What kate made.

I feel badly for tu.

I think once he got closer to
what would be appropriate, he

Was on the right track.

But anytime that you design
something that does rely on

Another piece to keep it
together--

Right.

But even more telling is that
bonnie did not feel comfortable.

She was not happy.

She didn't feel beautiful.

No.

It did everything terrible
that a dress could do to her

Figure.

When I look at the three
worst ones here, I didn't think

It was as bad as benjamin's or
as bad as amanda's.

I would agree.

I would absolutely agree with
that.

I thought amanda was the
worst.

That was way off.

At least amanda's had some
creativity to it.

With benjamin's, we've all been
to weddings where everybody's

Grandmother is wearing that
dress.

I have no trust in amanda as
a designer.

I don't know, I also don't
have trust in benjamin either.

I mean, he's been here week
after week.

Same as amanda--both of them.

It's difficult.

Very difficult.

We've made our decision?

Good.

Let's bring them back out.

[Whispers] sorry.

Amanda, your dress had some
major construction issues, and

It didn't fit your client's

Benjamin, even though holly
liked your dress, we did not.

Thank you.

It's been a pleasure.

I'm not ready to go home at all.

I really feel like I was getting
my stride in the competition and

I pleased the client, which was
what my job was.

[All groan]
ben!

Oh!

Awful.

It was so unexpected.

I'm sorry.

I'm shocked.

Wait, let me give you a hug.

In my heart, it just doesn't
feel like the right thing

Happened.

But I have to just be graceful
in accepting the decision,

Whether I think it's right or
wrong.

It was so unexpected.

Yeah!

All I can say is, "wow."

Yeah.

Have a seat for a minute.

From this point forward, really,
it's going to be anyone's game.

You're just not going to know.

Yeah.

So I have to send you to the
workroom to clean up your space.

Yes.

You've been great.

Thank you, tim.

I know I'm going to hear a
lot more from you.

We're gonna miss you.

Bye, and good luck to
everyone else for the rest of

It.

Bye, ben.

Bye.

I have so much more to show, and
I wish that I had the

Opportunity to show it within
project runway.

But there's a whole other life
that comes after this, and

That's where I'll show it.

Next time on
project runway...

[Laughter]
you're going to be creating a

Prom look using duck tape.

I just see a lackluster effect.

[Laughter]
michelle and amanda are

b*tches.

You're not even remotely
there yet.

This makes me nervous.

Looks like bride of the tin
woodman.

Oh, my god!

High school students are
going to vote on your design.

Do you think you should have
left this off?

Oh, my god, all my high
school anxiety's coming back.

I just feel like it's sad.

She's a train wreck!

Pfff!
