21x08 - Threads of Confidence

[bunniefuu]

[Heidi] Previously on Project Runway…

For this next challenge,
it's all about your take on Western chic.

[Antonio] This is going to determine
who is in the top five.

I am a cowboy, so this could be my win.

I don't know what they're gonna
think 'cause it's a wild card.

It's something.

Congratulations,
Jesus, you are the winner.

[Antonio] I wanted my first win finally.

[groans] Jesus!

[Heidi] Yuchen, and Veejay,
you had our least favorite designs today.

Yuchen, the taste level here
is beyond bad.

[Law] Veejay, we asked for country chic.

You gave us country sh*t,
and I'm not gonna hold that back.

[Yuchen] I had a bad day.

I tried my best,
but I don't wanna go home.

[Veejay] The twins are in the top
and I might be going home.

This is my worst nightmare.

[Heidi]
At stake for the winner is $200,000

a spread in ELLE magazine and a
life-changing mentorship with the CFDA.

This is Project Runway.

Veejay, the look
didn't really say country.

From the fabric to the silhouette,
you left us all a little confused.

Being in the bottom two is
really not a good feeling.

I really hope that the judges will see
from my past work

that I deserve to be here.

Yuchen, in this country challenge,
this was not the time

for you to experiment.
This was the time for you to win.

It sucks to be on
the bottom for the second time,

but I don't think I should go home
because my design is better than Veejay's.

Yuchen, Veejay, one of you will
be in and one of you will be out.

Yuchen…

I'm sorry, you're out.

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

Thank you.

Bye.

Yuchen, throughout the competition you
have been one of my favorite contestants.

Take this experience and build
off of it and just become greater.

Thank you, Law.

I'm also sad to see you go.

This was not your week.
I'm sorry, auf Wiedersehen.

-Love you. Thank you.
-All the best to you. Love you too.

Thank you, Yuchen.

[Yuchen] To be honest,
I feel like I lost some confidence

after I lost the streetwear challenge.

Hey, guys. I'm going home.

But I'm proud of the work that I did here.

It's been such an amazing journey

to meet all these amazing people
and I had so much fun.

Yuchen. [groans]

I'm sad.
Well, say goodbye to everybody.

I'm gonna send you to the workroom,
to clean up your space. Good luck.

[Yuchen] Thank you, everybody.

I've learned I'm the kind of person that
will never give up, and I'm so grateful

that what I've learned from here is
gonna be with me for my whole life.

-Aww!
-Oh!

-Oh, no.
-It's okay.

[exhales sharply] I know Veejay's
really upset that Yuchen just went home

and I'm not gonna kick her while she's
down, but I still want her to go home.

Use this to motivate you and to push you.

Oh, ****. This is a lot.

[Veejay]
Fashion is a very cutthroat industry.

We are the final five.

I need to be careful
with my decision making

because one mistake can lead me home.

So I'm going to fight till the end.

I will never give up.

-[Ethan trills]
-Ooh, va-va-voom!

-Yoo-hoo! Hello, designers.
-Wow.

-Twelve is now five.
-I know. Wow, so surreal.

It's the final five,
and it is a pressure cooker now.

The finale is so close.

We've been working our
asses off this competition,

and our ten booty cheeks are ready
to just slay this next challenge.

Now we want you to be pushed even harder.

When fashion is at its best,
one feels confident, radiant

and powerful in their own skin.

So for this challenge, designers,
you have to prove

you can make everyone feel
comfortable and beautiful.

We have very special muses.

Ooh!

[Singsongy] Oh, muses.

-Whoo!
-Wow!

These are your muses.

Thanks for being here.

[Veejay] Oh, my God.

We've got some real people here
and not the models.

I don't know what's happening
and I'm nervous.

So over the past few decades,
the fashion world

has made strides in making everyone
feel welcome and fashionable,

from people of varying body types,

gender identities,
to even those with fabric allergies.

The muses standing here deal with
something millions of people experience

on a regular basis: painful skin
conditions like moderate to severe eczema.

And that may make it difficult to find
fashionable clothes that work for them.

So for this challenge, sponsored by Lilly,

you will be making a look for women
and men who struggle with eczema.

All right, let's go.

And the design you're making
is for a night out on the town,

and it should be comfortable
and fashionable,

and it needs to produce
a jaw-dropping reveal on the runway.

So, muses, in order to pick your designer,

I have the trusty
little button bag right here.

-[Ethan giggles]
-I'm gonna start with you first.

-Who is it?
-Veejay?

-Hi.
-Hi.

My designer is Ethan.

-[Rachel laughs]
-Yes, diva.

My designer is Jesus.

-You're in great hands.
-[all chuchle]

Oof. He's cute, right? [giggles]

Get ready to be a mini Jesus.

-I was born ready, Jesus.
-Oh, perfect.

-Yeah.
-Even better.

Antonio.

Get ready to win this challenge.

-[Heidi] Well, there's only one left.
-Belania.

-Hi, baby.
-Hi.

So, designers,
now that you have your muse,

you will meet in the workspace,

get to hear their stories, and come up
with your "night on the town" designs.

I'll see you back here on the runway.

Bye, and good luck, everyone.

-Ciao!
-See you soon.

-Jesus. Nice to meet you.
-You're so handsome.

Thank you.

It's so interesting that we
got this challenge

because I actually also have eczema.

-Really? Cool.
-Yeah.

You're coming with
some inside knowledge then.

-I know. Yeah.
-Yeah. Yeah.

[Jesus]
Eczema is an immune system disorder.

I actually have eczema too in my hands,
you know,

and I know how people can build
insecurities when they have eczema.

What do you feel comfortable…
Like, with what you wear?

Are you, like, allergic to any fabrics or…

If there's a flare-up, sometimes
I'd be more conscious of something

and I would just avoid things
that are really scratchy.

-Perfect.
-Know what I mean?

Well, I'm gonna line everything in silk
so you're comfortable and feel nice.

-Brilliant. Nothing but luxury, please.
-Okay, perfect. Yeah.

[Jesus] This is a tough challenge.

We have to make them feel comfortable,

but I also have to make him
feel like a fashionista.

I want to make him feel cool.

So I'm thinking like really cool pants,
you know?

Like, a jacket and then
like a really low V shirt.

[Jarrad]
It's, like, a little effeminate for me.

Are you seriously being for real?

But I also want to, like, work with you.

No, we can play--

That wouldn't be my first thought, though.
It would be before we pass.

I also wanna take you
out of your comfort zone

and I want you to make a piece
that you're gonna wear

and be like, "Wow." Like…

It's hard to take me
out of my comfort zone.

I know, but that's gonna be my challenge.

-Right?
-Okay. All right. Yeah.

We talked about the challenge,
but then all of a sudden,

like, we started really getting closer
and talking of, like, just life.

-Where do you wanna get married?
-Mexico for sure.

[Jarrad] I properly speak Spanish.
And I know a lot of Americans say this.

[in Spanish]
But I really do speak Spanish.

Oh, my God. You're my husband.

Are we on a date right now?

Like, you speak Spanish, that's perfect.

Oh, my gosh.
My ex-boyfriend's gonna be so jealous.

Jesus, you need to focus, bro. Come on.

Concentrate!

[speaking spanish]

I wanna forget that eczema
is a thing, right?

I wanna feel so pretty that
my skin is not even a concern.

So, like, show whatever you want
'cause, like, the outfit is that good.

-[pops tongue]
-That's how I feel.

My whole MO with drag queens
is creating a gaggy moment,

but I'm feeling a little daunted

because I'm hoping I can bring my big,
crazy sensibilities to a real person.

-What would you like to reveal?
-Can we show leg?

-Show leg.
-Yeah.

Love those. Those work.

My favorite color is white.

[Ethan] A white is a really good base
that can be revealed into something else.

So I think we have some fun ideas,
but I don't know if we have the one.

[Ethan] I don't have my vision quite yet.

I have a hundred different ideas
in my head,

you know,
I need to decide on the right one,

the right vibe, because I want to
make Rachel feel like a boss-a*s b*tch.

-Tell me more about your eczema.
-Eczema is an immune system disorder.

-It can be internally and external.
-Mm-hmm.

-It has to do with what you're eating…
-Yes.

…but it can also be
environmental triggers.

The clothes you're wearing, the fabrics.

Can you tell me your favorite colors?

Um… I love wearing nudes.

Nudes. Any prints? Do you like prints?

No, I just can't do prints.

What are you talking about, girlfriend?

No prints at all?
No plaid, no polka dot, no stripe?

Any sequins?

[Jewel] No, honestly,
I usually try to keep it simple.

[Belania]
You have no sparkly in your life?

-No. Yeah.
-Got it.

No prints, no pastels, no sequins.

-Nice. Okay.
-Yeah.

I'm feeling lots of
apprehension and anxiety.

Whoo, ha ha.

I have to deliver for the challenge,
but at the same time,

I have to make my client happy
because that's a part of the challenge.

So what can the reveal be if she
doesn't like anything sparkly or bright?

So everything Jewel is saying
might send me home.

[Antonio] Oh, my God. I'm so excited.

Listen, I've been in the top,
but I haven't won yet.

Everybody here has won a challenge.

-I haven't won.
-You're gonna win.

I've been this close. I'm like…
This is my challenge.

Put it into the universe.

[in Spanish] Dear God.

-If you can hear us... please.
-Yes. [laughs]

[Antonio] I'm used to working
with real clients.

It's definitely an advantage.

I need to learn about Stephanie,
her personality, her sense of style,

how her skin condition
affects her fashion choices.

Where do you usually get, like,
your breakouts?

So I usually get 'em, like, on my wrists.

Um… Like in between right here.

I'm thinking about, like,
something beaded with a pattern

and, like, structure
with a nice soft lining.

Yeah, I think for me
it's just like as long as…

-like you said, the lining is nice.
-Soft, yeah.

I'm single right now
and I'm going on dates.

I'm thinking we should do
an expensive fabric 'cause you…

you're expensive.

And you want an ex…
a boyfriend that can afford you.

[laughs] Amen to that.

I'm designing a c*ck beaded dress

with a princess line flare coat
with sleeves

with a cape.

I totally trust you. I love your vibe.

So, Jayden, can you tell me more
about your skin condition?

It flares up a lot when, like,
I'm, like, hot or, like, sweaty.

-Like, my face sometimes flares up.
-Oh.

I don't want that skin reaction or
skin condition to affect your confidence

because we're going to make this work.

So what's your personal style?

Like quarters just like this,
I wear all the time.

Okay. If you are going on a night out,

where do you usually go?

You know, I do like to dance a lot.
You know, look for girls.

[Veejay]
What's a color that you like to wear?

-Blue, black, or green.
-Okay, perfect.

[Veejay] Jayden is a really cool guy,
and confidence is a very important power

that someone should have, and eczema
sometimes takes away confidence from you.

So, I am designing pants and a jacket

with zipper details
and also a quarter zip sweater.

-I trust you.
-Yes. We're gonna win.

We're gonna win this.

All right,
make sure you pick the right fabrication

to make them feel comfortable,
confident, sexy.

And a special reveal.

Okay, go.

My girl is getting laid in this dress.

I know I can nail this challenge and win,
but fabric choice is very tricky here.

I want it to look expensive,

but I want it to feel really good
on my girl Stephanie's skin.

[Christian] That green's pretty.

-[Antonio] I have expensive taste, right?
-Hmm.

I need like a sweater-ish material.

I chose a soft wool for the sweater
because it's a natural fabric,

and denim because it's 100% cotton, so…

I know that it will not
irritate Jayden's skin.

-Does he like a beaded tweed coat?
-He's going to.

Oh.

It's, like, a little effeminate for me.

Hmm.

Because Jarrad's style is very simple.

I want to push him and make him
look more fashionable and modern.

I find this really amazing tweed
that has a little bit of sequin

and it has, like, really
amazing texture and I love the color.

I want to make Jarrad happy,

but this is also a design competition
and it's the final five.

I have to make sure that I can
inject my DNA into this design.

[Belania] Where is the double-faced wool?

-Upstairs.
-All right. Please. Okay.

[Belania] I specifically am looking
for a double-faced brushed wool

because usually wool fabric fibers
are poking your skin

and making you itch,
but when it's brushed,

they're going horizontally
against your skin and it's softer.

I'm not mad at this. Can you pull this out
a little bit so I can see it more?

Jewel does not like prints,
but I find a nice plaid print.

Choosing this fabric
meets both of our needs.

She can wear it on the plaid
or she can wear it on the solid.

[Christian] Twenty minutes.

[Ethan] The reveal part
is really important,

so I'm thinking crystal,
beauty within.

There is a way you have
to use it to make sure

that it doesn't irritate the skin,
so I'm considering that.

It's a risk, but it's just so beautiful.

-Here we go. We're back.
-We're back.

Jesus, you're not gonna beat me this time.

[Jesus scoffs] Are you sure about that?

I mean, you thought that last week
and I beat you, so…

[laughs]

I cannot believe I haven't won yet.

Jesus went to fashion college,
but I'm self-taught.

He's always been on top.

He hasn't been in the bottom,
but I just have to stay positive,

head up, because I am here to fight.

So, is it… Is this gonna be
the Antonio versus Jesus challenge?

-Oh, my gosh.
-Let's see who's the better twin.

-Is it Antonio or Jesus?
-[Veejay, Belania laugh]

[scoffs]

I am here to win, so if I need to
stir the pot, I will definitely do that.

Hello.

Christian.

Hi, guys. Are we nervous?

-Yes.
-Yes.

Belania, when you talked to Jewel,
did she say she likes shine or plaid?

-No.
-No.

And you got her silver lamé.

-[Belania] Yeah. Yeah.
-That's the reveal fabric?

I feel like it's very important
for my reveal to have a wow moment.

So my look is a reveal in a reveal.

It's a trench coat that opens up
into a top that turns into a dress.

I am not effing around about the reveal.

I really wanna prove to you that
this tweed could go really, like,

modern and grungy cool.

I do have a little bit of inside knowledge

of how certain fabrics can trigger
flare-ups, but I'm not too concerned

because I'm planning
on lining my coat with silk,

so I know that that's gonna feel
really good against Jarrad's skin.

I will say, like,
my mom does have a coat just like this.

[Jesus] Like, the whole reveal is gonna be
when he takes the coat off.

It's gonna have this beautiful collar.

-Beaded collar.
-Beaded collar.

And then he has this beautiful low V.
My job, I feel, with this challenge is to…

-Make him feel comfortable.
-…make him feel comfortable.

-Okay. I like that.
-You know, in something cool and edgy.

Thank you.

Antonio.

I wanna do three reveals.

I like that you're whispering.
You don't want anybody to know?

I'm trying to be quiet because, you know,
people, they stop by,

they try to steal my ideas.

[chuckles]

So, I'm doing a cape over this so she
can take her hands out and the cape drops.

And then she has this dress.

-And then takes that off.
-And then take this off mid runway.

I love it. You should do it.

But you have to really do it
and this has to be fabulous too.

Yes, of course.

Oh, Lord, you have so much to do.

I do have a lot of work to do. Oh, my God.

My whole goal for this week is to win.

I'm coming from being on the top twice.

It's so close.

The reveal is a green sweater.

I saw this fabric and I'm like,
"Oh, Lord, my uncle's Christmas sweater

that he wore for 30 years."

I think that sweater
is giving me nightmares.

I know. Well, I need to make it
a little more interesting.

Because it's the reveal.

I can give them a crazy reveal,
hundred percent,

but my client is not outrageous.

My client is a young straight dude.

As long as my client likes it,
then I'm all good.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna do this little
bustier top with all these crystals.

[Christian] We're gonna do this mesh
beaded all on her skin? Ugh.

And you picked hospital white.

This feels super mod and, like, not this.

This makes me really nervous.
It's like white cape with this bra.

I don't know. I'm like, why can't it
reveal into a white mini dress?

Yeah, I might have to do a hard pivot.

-It's tough with the amount of time.
-Which is scary. I know.

[Ethan] I'm annoyed.

Changing it now is gonna be so difficult.

Yeah, it's overwhelming.

-[Christian] Yeah.
-I'm running out of time.

It's the final five,
and I cannot trip up now.

[Jesus] What are you thinking?

[whispers]
I think I have to do a hard pivot.

He doesn't like the two together at all.

He thinks the white's too sterile.

I got all the supplies
to do the Rorschach.

Take the black, incorporate it,
you know what I mean?

[Ethan]
I could paint the sh*t out of this.

Follow your intuition
and don't waste time.

I am pivoting to art

and doing a Rorschach design

where it takes the beauty
of the patterns of eczema on the skin

and turning it into an ink blot.

-[Christian] Hello!
-Wow.

You're like my boyfriend.

How do you feel in this?

I like it.

Yeah?

I don't know about the silver,

and I probably wouldn't pair
the dress with shorts, so…

But I believe in her.

I want you to love it, babe.

I am nervous about Jewel
not being on board

with the silver fabric,
so I'm highly concerned about myself.

-[Jesus] This is your coat.
-[Jarrad] Wow.

[giggles] Do you love it?

Uh, I…

Um… I don't…

It's not the colors
I thought it was going to be.

It's not like anything else
I have in my closet. I can say that.

It's a bit effeminate.

We might need to like take it up
a little bit at the bottom, you know.

-Yeah.
-I'm also curious, like,

what it would look like as a mid-thigh.

[Jesus] I think that looks good there.

I'm getting annoyed because
he's fighting me on a couple of things

that I have to do on the design,

but I know that
it's gonna look great at the end.

[Veejay] Jesus, obviously you're not
listening to what your client wants,

but I am not surprised.

I just don't think someone young and
cool wants to wear this jacket right now.

Like, I would never buy that jacket
or wear it.

-All right.
-And I'm young and cool.

[Jesus] You're not as cool as me.
I would wear it.

Hmm.

Oh, Christian.

Why don't you tell Veejay what you think
about that ugly sweater underneath?

[laughs] Oh, my God.

No.

I know that Jayden
will not be happy to wear

a sleeveless leather that
would show off his arms.

And even though personally,
I don't think it's that cool,

that's what my client wants.

If the client wants something simple,
give them something simple.

It could be a… It's a Christmas sweater.

[both chuckle]

[laughs] What did he say?

He said it's a Christmas sweater.
What did I say?

I said, "This is a Christmas sweater
that my uncle has."

-There's gonna be a zipper in the front.
-I don't care.

I really like the design.

She managed to make it look
just as good as I imagined.

She's still sticking true to what I want.

Yeah, I'm gonna look swagged out.

[Christian] Rachel, how are you feeling?

-[Rachel] I'm into the pattern.
-Mm-hmm.

-This? The print?
-Uh-huh. Mm-hmm.

[Ethan] This is the lining.

-The lining of what?
-The coat.

-[Christian] What?
-That's the reveal.

-No.
-Yeah.

[Christian]
This is a graduation gown in white.

[Ethan] I decided to scrap
this beautiful crystal fabric,

and now I'm really struggling.

It's really hard for me to keep
bending to other people's whims.

It's a delicate balance
of adapting my drag sensibilities

while appeasing myself but also my client.

You think I'm being tough?
Law will go crazy.

-No. I'm not letting this happen.
-Okay, we're not gonna let it happen.

Whatever changes this man is suggesting,
that's what we need to do

because I will not get tore up
under these bright lights.

[Christian]
You love the fabrics, how they feel?

-Yeah.
-Originally, she wanted sleeves,

but if we can show the tatas,
she's gonna do strapless.

Yeah. You got a wild one to work with.

Wild in a good way, Christian.

[Stephanie] Antonio has this in the bag.

He's so talented and amazing,
and I know it's gonna come out beautiful.

We got a medical plan for my eczema,

so I'm ready to show off my skin
and get myself a husband.

All right, everybody. Say goodbye
to your clients. Thank you so much.

-We'll see you on the runway.
-[Rachel] I trust you.

[Belania] I'm regretting doing
this silver drape top right now.

You don't like your top?

I'm starting to fall out of love with it
'cause it's taking me forever to finish.

[Jesus] Belania has been doing so good and
she found who she truly is as a designer,

but she's been
really struggling in this challenge.

She's in trouble.

I have no idea where
she's going with this look.

[Belania] My God. [sighs]

After my client fitting, I know I have
to commit to this asymmetrical blouse

because I have no more time,

but it's not working.

I hate it.

I know I have to figure it out
because the clock is ticking

and I'm getting more and more nervous.

Yeah, I'm about to be in the bottom.
I feel it.

Let's do this.

[Singsongy] I have so much to do.

There are three runways left, but only two
before the finale, so the pressure is on.

-I love the sweater, Veejay.
-Thank you.

It reminds me of my grandpa.

[laughs]

Jesus's shirt is giving me magician,
and it needs to disappear.

[whoops]

Hi, everybody. Let's bring in the clients.

I'm still sewing.

Nice to see you.

-[laughing]
-All right, I have to sew. Come with me.

[Belania] I'm stressed out.

So I want you to go to the runway, like,
then you kind of slowly open it

and then you reveal
because it's a part of the challenge.

That's perfect.

-What?
-[Jarrad] Uh…

No, I mean, it's a little, like…

-What?
-Not as, like, masculine as I envisioned.

Mm-mmm. Girl.

-So what do you wanna change?
-The collar is too extra for me.

Like, what if we, like,
didn't have this part in the bottom

and it wasn't, like,
totally bedazzled all the way through.

There's not much time
and Jarrad has a lot of notes,

but it is a real client's challenge,
so I have to make sure he likes the look.

If not, my a*s is going home.

-[Veejay] Hi.
-[Christian] Slick.

-[Veejay] Do your magic.
-Make her feel like a million bucks.

Glam.

You're not gonna unzip the things?

[Veejay] I'm getting nervous.

[Ethan] Veejay's look, it's a beautifully
constructed garment, but no reveal?

You didn't do the challenge.

There she is.

-[designers cheering]
-Oh, mama!

-Hello, designers. The final five.
-Crazy.

As you know, in fashion one day you're in,
and the next day, you're out.

For this challenge, you were asked
to design a look for men and women

who struggle with eczema.

Not only should the outfit be comfortable
and fashionable for a night out,

it needed to produce
a jaw-dropping reveal on the runway.

So let's meet the judges.

CFDA award-winning stylist
and image architect, Law Roach.

[cheering]

One of my favorite designers out there,
Harris Reed.

[Jesus] Bravo!

Harris Reid? Oh, my gosh, gag.

Everybody knows him for the iconic look
he did for Demi Moore for the Met Gala.

So I'm really excited
for him to be our guest judge.

And comedian and my twin, Nikki Glaser.

Oh, my gosh. Thank you.

[Antonio] Nikki Glaser is hot right now.
She's k*lling it in the comedy world.

I'm like, oh, my God,
is she gonna **** roast us on stage?

Let's start the show.

[Antonio] Wow. Stephanie feels confident.
She's k*lling it.

I am so happy.

It's like she feels good in it.

[Law] Yeah, she loves it.

Oh, la la!

[Antonio] I'm so proud of my client.

I love her so much.

I know she wants to win as much as I do.

A great little dress.

Her man is at the end of the runway.

Take me out with you, baby.

And I think this is my time to win.

[Nikki] Can I pick that up? I want that.

[Veejay] Seeing Jayden walk
on that runway, I feel so accomplished.

There's a balance of simplicity
and intricacy, and he looks expensive.

Law: That leather jacket
was really well made.

The jacket, yeah.

I don't know
if that was quite a reveal though.

You want the drama. Whip that jacket off.

[Veejay] You know, he looks so amazing
that it's like I don't need that reveal

because he actually looks
like a celebrity walking in that runway.

Where was the reveal?

Isn't that the point of the challenge?

Get it, Jewel. Get it, get it, Jewel.

[Belania]
Jewel seems to be walking very fiercely.

The jacket looks absolutely amazing
on her.

With that being said, this look is a
product of me trying to appease my client.

It's not feeling good.
It's not looking good.

Is it a dress?

It's two pieces.

[Belania] It would be a total pity
if I went home off of this challenge

because this look does
not reflect who I am as a designer.

Work.

I'm loving this beautiful coverup
and then pow!

-Yes!
-All right.

[Ethan] It opens up into this
beautiful inkblot motif.

Making my own print was a really
strong choice, but I'm so glad I did that.

She was hot!

Harris: I like how confident
she feels in that gown.

You don't question that she loves it.

It looks really good.

[Heidi] Hmm.

[Jesus] Yes, Jarrad.

I think Jarrad is feeling
very confident on the runway.

He's feeling himself, he's
feeling the look, he feels fashionable.

I think the reveal went really well.

I see the appliqués look really shiny
on the runway.

I'm happy.

It's a little messy though. That shirt.

It's giving magician.

However, the judges, they look confused.

So now I'm starting to feel nervous.

Maybe I should have
listened to Jarrad more.

I could be in trouble.

[Heidi] That was fun.

Designers, I'm so excited to see

how your clients feel about the things
that you created for them,

which is the most important thing.

[Ethan] That is the truth.

Okay, we're gonna start with you, Ethan.

-Are you happy?
-I love it. I really do.

I think what I wanted most of all
was something that was so striking,

that, like,
my skin was not in the conversation.

And so like, I'm extremely happy.

[Heidi]
Law, what did you think about this look?

I think that you could have done a better
job with the placement of her breast.

You know my thing, I wish you'd snatched
that waist thin a little bit more.

But I loved that her reveal
was an actual reveal

because I thought, I was like,
"Oh, she's so demure," you know,

and then she came out, I was like,
"Oh, she's a wh*re," which I love.

Thank you.

You know. [laughs]

You are confident. My only thing is,

I kind of wish the pattern
was on the outside of the cape as well.

It would have really brought
the whole thing home.

I love the design.

I love that it's an inkblot,
the Rorschach.

Like, what I'm getting from it
is that my mom is apologizing to me,

finally, you know.

But I would have preferred the print
on the outside too.

[Heidi] For me, this coat is beyond bad.

I did not like this at all.

To me it looked like a lab coat
when she had this on,

so I feel like it needed
to be a little bit longer.

There's still a taste level that has to
be there and I feel like it's not there.

I'm glad that you love it,
but me looking at it, I did not love it.

Thank you, Ethan. And thank you, Rachel.

Thank you.

Okay, Antonio and Stephanie.

-[Law] This coat for me feels very…
-Couture.

Yes, very much couture.

So that was absolutely great.

And then she peels, and she comes
into this really beautiful party dress,

and she seems really sexy.

And I'm actually getting
attracted to your cleavage and I'm…

[Antonio] I was, too.

And I'm extremely g*y, but snap out of it.

It's the biggest compliment.

This is probably one of your best looks
of this whole entire competition.

Thank you, Law.

I really love the beading on this.

How it like, it kind of changes
on the back. Like, it gets…

It's not as concentrated on the back,

and I think that's unexpected,
and I really liked it.

You look sophisticated, sexy.

The guys are gonna line up.

You said you're single, and you're looking
and you're ready to mingle.

This is gonna get the job done.

-Thank you, Antonio.
-Thank you.

Okay. Veejay and Jayden.

You were like a supermodel
on the runway today.

I really liked the design.
Veejay did a great job.

She figured out a way
for me to still have swag.

I felt like you were really liking
yourself in this when you came down.

You were like, "Yes, this is me,
and I love how I look."

As a designer,
you gave him what he needed.

You clearly have such
incredible skill and craftsmanship.

I think that this is
a really well-ex*cuted piece,

and leather is such
a difficult thing to sew.

[Law]
The jacket is tailored to perfection.

And then, you know, to have the panels
of the leather in the pant

makes everything more elevated.
It looks expensive.

[Nikki]
I just had "cool" written down a bunch.

You just looked so cool.

But where was the reveal?

[Law] That is what the problem was.

-This was the reveal.
-Yeah, but that's not a reveal.

-That's just taking the jacket off.
-It's not?

Okay, let's talk to
Belania and Jewel next.

[Law] If an outfit could be a mullet,
this would be it.

It is business on the top
and party underneath.

It's literally like one of those bad girls
that wrapped up

and she got those pointy-toe shoes
with the ankle straps like,

"Bye, Mom. I'm going to Bible study." And
she's really going to swing on the pole.

This really confused the sh*t out of me.

How do you feel about it though?

It's definitely a piece that's different
from everything else in my closet.

But would you spend your money on it?

Be honest. It's okay.

I probably wouldn't buy this myself.

So to me,
it was a complete mess and you failed her.

It's like, it's Kate Middleton
with the coat on,

then you take it off
and it's Kate Middleton in 2006

drunk in the back of a cab.

I mean, I love the top, and the shape,
and the silver,

and then the back of it
I think is really cool.

I would have just
liked to see it as a dress.

You're really sexy in your stand-up shows.

-Thanks.
-And if that was like a tiny little dress

that almost quite…
a little bit inappropriate.

Where the front row's
getting a VIP package?

Yeah. [laughs]

I'm surprised that you look at this,

and you think that
the drape is looking on point.

It looks like it got stuck somewhere
and got shredded up, or something.

Like, it looks like a mistake.

Thank you, Belania.

All right, Jesus and Jarrad.
How do you feel?

Like, the coat really nails it.
I asked him for something edgy.

The shirt definitely has me stepping
out of my comfort zone a little bit.

-Why?
-It's a bit effeminate.

It's a deep cut V,
and this is a little bit too extra for me.

[Law] The shirt just looks messy.

The way it's tied on the side is messy.

Can I see the back?

Yea, I don't mind that because
it gives symmetry to the front,

but the shirt, outside of the beading,
just looks poorly ex*cuted.

And the biggest thing is that you
really just didn't listen to him.

Noted.

I thought the jacket
and the trousers were everything.

The shirt was my only thing that
I wish it was maybe a bit more classic.

You looked amazing on the runway, but
without the coat, it's pirate magician.

It was giving me Dancing with the Stars,

just because it was bedazzled,
on top of bedazzled, on top of bedazzled.

When the coat came off, I was like,
"What is this around the neck?"

And then there's more on the back.
It just was too much of it all.

It was not my favorite thing today.

Okay, thank you all
for talking about your looks,

and thank you to all the clients.

Clients,
please say goodbye to your designers.

[Jesus] This makes absolutely no sense.

I delivered something amazing,
also something that was a challenge.

I don't want to go home,
but I could be in trouble.

Now we want to announce
our favorite look on the runway

with a look the client
and the reveal blew us away.

Antonio and Veejay,

you made our
two favorite looks on the runway.

But there can only be one winner.

Antonio,

congratulations, you're the winner.

You had our favorite look this week.

[speaking Spanish]

-[Ethan] Congratulations.
-Thank you guys so much.

I finally won!

[screams] I'm just full, full,
full, full of love right now.

Hold on, I'm getting a little…

I don't want to faint.

Antonio, you're standing here because
you really listened to your client.

You didn't just give us one reveal,
you gave us two, so congratulations.

Thank you so much, Law.

-Veejay, that also means that you're safe.
-Thank you, Heidi. Thank you.

Jesus, Ethan,

and Belania.

You had our least favorite looks today.

You can leave the runway.

-Thank you so much.
-Thank you, guys.

Thank you.

[Antonio] I just won my first challenge,
my first win,

but my brother is in the bottom,
and I'm shocked.

-b*tch.
-I'm so proud of you.

I am so happy that Antonio won
this challenge, but I'm in the bottom?

This is the first time I'm in
the bottom this whole season,

and it truly is making me
sick to my stomach.

I cannot go home right now.

This was a client-based challenge,

and I feel most of them
were actually very happy.

I think Ethan's client,
Rachel, she really seemed to like it.

I didn't, but I also
don't have to wear it.

She came in and snatched it open
like Demi Moore in striptease.

[all laughing]

She's like, here I am.

But when you have a woman
that has a curvier figure,

take care of the bosom,
take care of the waist.

It looks like a duvet that was like
inside out.

[laughs]

[Harris] The more I sat with it,
the more I was like,

she did what a dream client would do,
which is sold the piece to me,

but the execution wasn't there.

Ethan's client was the only one
who liked it no matter what.

Whoo!

Wow, that was a curveball.

I'm pissed. I should have been in the top.

I checked off everything on the list.

My look is going out.

My look has a sentiment towards eczema,
and I have a reveal. Hello.

And what do we think about Belania?

I mean, her client did not want to buy it.

The only thing I can say about her reveal

is that I just wish
there wasn't a reveal at all.

[laughs]

It looked like student work.
The eye was not there.

I think the look didn't click.

You had a gorgeous girl
and she just looked frumpy.

We're all artists, so I relate to this
where you just are like,

you're trying a bunch of different things,
but it was…

But not when you're the top five
on season 21 of Project Runway.

-No. That's a really good point.
-Yeah.

[Belania] I'm not surprised
about being in the bottom.

This look is not my DNA.

And it would be devastating
if it sent me home.

Let's talk about Jesus.

I don't think
Jarrad was so happy with Jesus either.

He looked uncomfortable.

I think it's okay for a man to say,
"I'd rather look and feel more masculine,"

and I think that should be respected,
and I think Jesus didn't respect that.

He put him in something that he will wear.

-When you've lost your client, you know.
-You know.

-And everyone knows, you know.
-Yep.

[Jesus] I didn't think I had
the winning look, you know,

but I did not expect to be
in the bottom three, period.

I'm shocked.

I've been doing so great
in this competition.

If I go home instead of Veejay,
I will be crushed

because I do not deserve it.

Veejay,
I think you being in the top is ludicrous.

You didn't even have a reveal at all.

Did you guys think that I deserve
to be in the bottom?

[Ethan] Absolutely.

You didn't do the challenge.

Veejay should definitely be going home.

I respect Ethan's opinion,
but I completely disagree.

I think that my work is so much better
than his, and I think that I did my best.

And the bottom line is,
my client is happy.

They were waiting for a reveal.

There was no reveal.

I'm shocked you were in the top.
I'm literally gagged.

Maybe the craftsmanship of my jacket,
and my pants,

and the sweater for 15 hours,
they appreciated that fact.

Okay, so here we have three designers
that are at the bottom.

And out of the three, really,

Ethan has the only client
who was happy at the end of the day.

-And Ethan had a reveal.
-Ethan did the work.

So really Ethan
is off the table then, right?

So it's really between Jesus and Belania.

What's the biggest sin?
A sloppy toppy, or a mismatched mess?

Let's bring them out.

-Jesus.
-Yes.

Ethan, Belania, you had
our least favorite looks this week.

Ethan,

you're safe, and you can leave the runway.

-Thank you all so much. A pleasure.
-Thank you.

[chuckles]

Ah! I'm safe to slay another day.
Judges, thank you.

The finale is so close,

so I'm ready to be back
in this competition

and really showcase what I got.

[Heidi] Jesus and Belania.

Both of your looks failed as a reveal.

And even worse,
we feel like you failed your client.

Belania, Jesus…

Tonight…

you're both out.

What the ****?

Wow! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What the ****?
