Previously on Project Runway...

I am honored to be standing in front of photographs of

Jacqueline Kennedy, how is Mondo?

I'm just going back and forth between two different ideas.

Do you feel strong enough to stand up on that Runway for it?

I-I really like it. If they're gonna send me home,

they're gonna send me home on something that I believe in.

I'm surprised that this is what you have to deliver.

I feel like I'm on a different planet. It has no impact at all.

It's just sad looking. Well, I wanted to keep it really simple. Simple doesn't mean boring.

They were, like, in bad moods today, man.

Mondo, you are the clear winner of this challenge.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Michael, I'm sorry,

that means you're out.

This is Project Runway. The winner of Project Runway

will receive $100,000 from L'Oreal Paris to start their own

line, a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine,

a $50,000 technology suite from HP and Intel to create their

vision and run their business, and the opportunity to design

and sell an exclusive collection on piperlime. com.

fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine and $25,000 from

L'Oreal Paris Studio Secrets Professional.

Project Runway 8x09 Race to the Finish Original Air Date on September 23,2010

-- Sync by elderman -- -- for www. addic7ed. com --

Another big day.

Another one bites the dust.

Michael D. was a presence that was very light.

Not having him there makes this feel more like a competition.

Where you going now? Dude, we got to move into the

other room today. I decided not to go.

I'm staying. So Christopher Collins and I

have to move in with Andy and Michael costello, which should

be very interesting. Yeah, interesting.

You know, I'm not even gonna give in to the judges anymore.

I'm gonna just, you know, design the best designs I can make.

Valerie was really broken by being on the bottom.

And I just hope she can overcome this.

Ivy's my best friend here. She's a good designer and she's

passionate about what she does. People might think she's

opinionated. At the end of the day, she is a

really great person. Hi, guys.

Sorry for barging in. We're the new roommates.

It's been just Michael costello and myself in our room

for a while now. I really enjoy Mondo and

Christopher. It's nice to have people that I

can trust. Okay, let's go.

We should do, like, a thing before we leave now.

Like, a powwow thing, you know. Come on.

Hello. Hi. I'm going to let Tim fill

you in on all of the details for your next challenge.

But I will give you a little hint.

If you win the next challenge, you will be taking home a big

chunk of change.

Good luck and I'll see you all on the Runway. Bye.

Good morning, designers. I am delighted to introduce

Collier strong, consulting makeup artist for L'Oreal Paris.

Collier is here to work with you on the makeup aspect of your

head-to-toe look for this challenge.

Hi, everyone. Morning. For this challenge, you will

be designing a high fashion look that will appear in a

L'Oreal Paris advertorial. When I say high fashion, I'm

referring to something that would be perfectly at home in

Paris couture week. In other words, a serious, wow

moment. To get the l'oreal advert,

this is huge. Millions and millions of women

will be seeing this ad. My dress to be featured in it...

I like this challenge. You can really do something over

the top. That's who I am. This advertorial will appear

in Marie Claire magazine and the winner of this challenge will

receive something unprecedented.

$20,000. What?

From L'Oreal Paris. $20,000. I haven't made over

$12,000 a year. And to win $20,000, wow, that's

amazing. Ivy, you look stricken.

I almost started crying. Right now, I'm struggling just

to live. So the $20,000 win would be

amazing. Exciting, yes?

Yeah. Wow. This advertorial not only

features your design, but it also features l'oreal's studio

secret eye shadow duos. They come in five fantastic

Metallic, crystal,

bright, matte, and velvet. So the point of departure

for this challenge is to use one of the studio secrets finishes

for your inspiration. So the challenge today is

to create a high fashion, couture look that incorporates

one of those eye shadow combinations.

And considering that there's a $20,000 incentive, risking big

could come with big payoff. I will say this about velvet,

unless you're really adept at using it, it's very difficult.

And, Mondo, you won the last challenge so you get to choose

first. I am going to pick bright.

I'm gonna choose the next designer from our velvet bag.

And that designer is Christopher.

I'm going with crystal. I chose crystal because I think

a woman that's wearing my clothes is probably wearing

diamonds. April.

Matte. Michael.

Love me some metallic. Ivy. Bright.

I don't want the judges to think that I'm only capable of using

muted colors. And I really don't think that

a muted color would read well as an advertorial.

Valerie. Crystal. Gretchen.

I'm gonna take a serious risk

and go velvet.

Velvet to me is risky, which is right up my alley.

I think it's a boring fabric and Gretchen designs boring

clothes. So it'll work perfect.

Andy. I will go with metallic.

All right. So after you come up with

your design, I'll meet with each of you individually and we'll

come up with a great look that'll really highlight and

bring your design to life. Way cool.

You will have 30 minutes to sketch, then we're going

shopping at mood, where you'll have a budget of $300.

Wow. Yeah. We have $300 to shop at mood.

But we also have to do a pretty big look.

More money means more work. And you have two days for this challenge.

Yes. Finally. So sketch away and I'll come

back for you in 30 minutes. Good luck.

Off we go. Thank you. Bye.

I feel like what the judges-- they're looking for now is, can

we be true designers? We all are going to have to step

it up. Looking at the l'oreal

makeup, I am going to go very

literal and do something bright. I'm basing my design on a

kaleidoscope. When I think of the word

bright, Hawaii comes to mind.

And I am designing this very

beautiful electric blue gown.

I'm going to create waves on it.

I'm thinking big kimono sleeves.

I want to do a wrap that has kind of a plunging neckline.

I don't want to stray too far from, like, the elements that

the judges know me for.

All right, everyone, let's head off to mood.

All right, designers, you have your $300 budget and you have 30

minutes to shop. Be strategic.

And, swatch, yes, you can be part of this.

All right, everyone, your time starts now.

How much is this per yard? I thought of doing an evening

gown, so I'm looking for flow-y

and fine fabrics.

Eew. I just, like, tried to get a

whole bunch of materials that I'm attracted to.

I mean, who wants to play with a box of crayons with one color?

Ooh, it's traffic jam

I wanted teal. This time going in, I knew what

textiles I was looking for. The only thing I was very

concerned about is the color. Thank you.

Everyone, that's it. Time is up.

Come on, everyone. Let's go back to parsons.

Thank you, mood. Bye, swatch.

The concept behind my girl is that she's, like, a modern, but

futuristic type of warrior girl.

Definitely a hard look, though. I'm excited to see it.

We'll see. Two days. Two days.

When Tim said that there was a two-day challenge, a lot of

people were, like, "oh.

Let's just lean the chair back, take our time, just cruise

through it. " I want to get knocked out

because you never know.

♪ I'm so excited ♪

oh, why did I pick silk? Cutting silk is hard.

Sewing silk is hard. Finishing silk is really hard.

I think that I'm a very good designer and I really need to

showcase what I'm capable of doing.

I'm going to have to do a lot of hand pleating, so I'm just

hoping that I get everything done on time.

I'm not really paying attention to any of the other

designers because I am so focused on trying to get my

stuff done. But I know who has issues.

Ooh, is this all yours, Gretchen?

This pink tool? No, that's Michael c's.

Okay. Oh. Hmm. You using those colors too?

Those are my colors and he's using them as well.

Did you show him your sketch, girl?

Seeing Michael c. With colors that I've used in this

challenge frustrates me a little bit because this is a

competition about who you are as a designer.

I don't know what it is about

Gretchen and I that we're both

very addicted to this bordeaux

whatever-you-call-it color.

Wow. I love that color. I'm guilty.

I'm gonna do it better than she can.

I don't feel threatened by him.

I'm just insulted that maybe some boundaries were crossed.

It's cool, though,'cause mine looks good.

I love this color. Ugh. Somehow I've created a

monster. Coming up on

Project Runway... This could be one of my

strongest pieces. That's the ripple of the wave.

And then that's the waters crashing.

No. I have to start this whole

bodice over. I'm basically.

What is that color? I don't know what I would

call that. Like, lavender? Michael c. Replicates.

I don't see a point of view in his work.

I see other people's point of views.

Hey, I think that your color palette may be similar.

But what you're doing is... Worlds apart?

But what's his is his and what's mine is mine and I gotta

let go. I still have to figure out what

the I'm doing with this skirt.

I don't know. The challenge today is hard

because it's create the most

complex work you have to date.

And create something that complements these eye shadow

duos. Whew. That's a lot of pressure.

Hi. Hey. The makeup finish that I

picked was metallic. Uh-huh.

The concept behind this is kind of a futuristic warrior

woman. Almost like war paint.

Uh-huh. I think that looks great.

I want to give the illusion of a really dramatic cat eye

almost. We can turn her into anything

we want. I like the idea of keeping

Cassie pale because I don't want her to look like a regular human

being. I kind of want her to look like

a hybrid. I'm using this infallible.

Makes it really dramatic. That's perfect.

Looks really good. All right? Good luck.

Thank you. You're welcome. Here's the pink, and then the

yellow, and the blue will be draped out of all these colors.

So you're not afraid of color?

Not at all. I love this.

I do like to do overboard stuff with my styling.

So here's my opportunity. I think it's so fun.

So you were the brave one that picked velvet.

I took the velvet. It's gonna be good or bad.

We'll use double extend lash boosting mascara.

The makeup is here to take my look over the top.

I love it. It's perfect. I think it's great.

I'm so glad I got to talk to you.

So I'm doing blue on blue. See, like, how great--

oh, my God! It's perfect. Uh-huh. So I'm using the

darker of this duo... Okay. Which is called "showy."

You're not just selling your dress so you want to be

conscientious that the entire look fits well together and it

tells a story. I think it's beautiful.

It's gorgeous. Good luck. Thank you, Collier.

How is everyone? Good. I'm here to check in with you

and see what you're doing. How's Valerie?

I'm doing all right. So tell me what you're doing.

So what I want to do is I'm gonna do a shoulder that's

raised over the shoulder. And then these pieces are all

biased strips. It's gonna be very structural.

And you have crystal. And what I'm gonna do is I'm

gonna cut them off the chain and hand-sew them.

Valerie's does not look avant-garde.

I can't see that on a Paris Runway.

This is incredibly ambitious. This could be one of my

strongest pieces. I'm really hoping this will

redeem me from the last challenge.

I'm gonna let you get to work.

Thank you, Tim. My concept was kind of

thinking about kaleidoscopes. Hmm.

So this is what I'm coming up with so far.

I think my toughest competition are Gretchen and

Mondo. Go big. Be you.

Thank you, Tim. And possibly April.

I don't want to do an evening gown.

I don't want you to do an evening gown.

It's not you. Yeah. I feel like April has

maintained who she is and she's been doing really well.

I have some ideas. I believe in you.

Okay. So I have to come out on top

of one of these last challenges because I've been in the bottom

way too many times. I feel like coming out of

last--the last challenge, I feel

like a fighter in me has been awakened.

Good. And that's kind of what's

coming out of my designs. I'm on the fence about

Andy's. It's kind of, like, "wow."

But then it's, like, "well..." He's literally making a warrior

costume. Are you taking it far enough?

I don't know. So think about that.

Thank you, Tim. Initially, I thought very

kimono or, like, caftan-y. Right now, it's looking very

much like a robe. Really?

Yeah. Ah! Okay. Gretchen... Oh, my God.

I don't like what she's doing. When I think of bright, I

think of a day at the beach. So how are you using the

strips? That's the ripple of the wave

and then that's the waters crashing.

No. This is when it's getting too literal.

Okay. Keep your critical eye on it

so that it doesn't become a pageant gown.

It could go pageant very easily. Thank you, Ivy.

Thank you, Tim.

Did you hear Tim and mine? He was, like, "I really think

this challenge is going to solidify some people's futures. "

Probably. In the challenge, in that if

you don't... Show a show?

Do a wow, why would they let

to go to fashion week? We have to work hard, girl.

Mm-hmm. I really believe in my heart

that I'm supposed to be at fashion week and I believe in my

heart that you're supposed to be there too so...

I hope so. We gotta do it.

I really hope so. Yeah. I have to go.

I have to pee. Team.

Go team.

Is anybody else worried about time?

Kind of, yeah. Have you sewn anything yet,

though? Not a piece.

Hey, what's up? I have a lot of work to do,

girl, a lot. Go ahead. Walk for me.

Oh, wow. It's beautiful. A lot of the other designers

are still working in the muslin and they have nothing for

try-on. 15? Waah!

I'm ready for this fitting. I likey.

It's chic. When Cassie comes in, I have

to fit her head... For a skullcap to do my

headpiece. Yay. Is that tight enough?

Uh, a little loose. A little loose?

The bodice is huge.

Let me take some measurements. I've been worried about eyen

being substantially smaller than my size 6 form.

But she's my muse. I'm just being loyal.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

I have taken it in so much

that it t looks like crap. I tried to salvage as much as

i can of the original bodice. It's, like, ruining the entire

shape. . Did you--so what happened

when you fit her? It didn't have the boning or

the face in it. And I tried to put in the boning

face in it and... It was not working it at all.

It's 11:00 at night. And...

I have to start this whole bodice over.

I wasted 12 hours on this avant-garde look.

And now I'm basically.

Coming up on Project Runway...

Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me.

You can't forfeit. I just lost a day and a half

of work. Val? Designers, can I have your

attention, please? Oh, my God.

Even I'm shaking over this.

We couldn't open our eyes this morning.

I think it's that we got four, five hours of sleep.

I think it's the exhaustion, girl.

We're worked to the core. We're creatively, emotionally,

physically spent. Kind of nervous 'cause I've

got a lot to do. Well, if you get

up and get crackin'...

Are you still worried? Would you be worried if

you... I would be. Lost an entire day of work.

I've already dropped the ball on this challenge.

I'm way behind. And I'm freaking out.

Let's go. ♪ On my way ♪

♪ to the mothertop ♪

that weally bad.

I need a red bull.

Got to get this done.

What are you doing right now? Are you gonna bead or what?

I have three more pieces of my skirting to finish up and

then I'm gonna bead onto this. Well, get cracking.

It's nice to have two days. I feel like I can actually

execute things absolutely perfectly.

We had a bigger budget. We have more time.

It means we have more fabric, which means we can really take

it to the next level.

Such a fine line of, like, don't do the expected but still be

you. I'm afraid they're gonna say

mine's, like, not enough. 'Cause I might have to edit some

stuff out and I don't want to. I'm not going to.

I'm just gonna go full tilt on this one, honey.

Even though she does walk down in panties and a bustier, girl.

Would they let her?

Designers, I want you to know, on the one hand, I am

loath to present what I'm about to present.

On the other hand, I sincerely believe it will help

each of you. Oh, my God.

You are currently designing a high fashion Runway look.

There are very few if any designers who can sustain a

brand based on this genre of work.

Great. Rather, they build their

brand based on ready-to-wear collections.

So for this challenge, you will

be creating a second look.

This look is to be a ready-to-wear companion to your

high fashion Runway look.

This is terrible. You will have 15 minutes to

sketch. Then we're going shopping at

mood where you'll have a budget of $100.

You will have until midnight tonight and the usual amount of

time in the morning to complete

both works.

So this means you need to run,

not walk. Even I'm shaking over this.

I think I'm gonna pee my pants.

It's just so much to slam into one more day.

I mean, really. Your sketching time begins

now and I will return. I'm so stressed.

Thank you. I can't believe this.

I can. I'm in a good place.

There are several people that aren't in a good place.

Ivy still has a ton of things to do.

Valerie still has a ton of things to do.

Gretchen thinks she's gonna hand-bead the whole back of that

dress. Mondo has to redo his whole top.

I mean, there's a lot of people that are sweating in there.

Oh, my gosh. Okay. I'm trying not to freak out.

What do I need? Well, my game plan now is

probably going to...

I don't know. My ready-to-wear a look, I'm

gonna adapt it from the patterns I've already drafted because I

really have no time to create another set of patterns.

I'm just hoping that my speedy sewing abilities will

definitely be beneficial to me at this point.

I believe in myself. I can do it.

All right, designers, let's go to mood.

You have 15 minutes. Go! Go, go, go.

It's a good thing I have long legs and I run a lot 'cause

mood is a workout.

Can I get some help? It's exactly what I need.

Hello! You know, I'm just thinking

"stretch fabric." I need, um, two yards of that

stripe. Six yards of that.

Oh, this is the one yesterday? Yes, same thing.

My plan of attack is to just get the same fabric that I got

yesterday. Surgical stripe.

Yeah. A yard, please.

Designers, you have five minutes.

Um, you had anything a little thinner with a better drape? I am moving like a snail.

Where's the black ones? I'm a little overwhelmed.

Yeah? Yeah, I'm a little freaked out.

All right, everyone, time is up.

You need to be at the counter. Andy, where are you?

There he is. Time's up. Living the good life, swatch.

Don't have to make any dresses today, do you?

This is crazy. I'm gonna need five friends

today. I'm gonna try not to cut

corners, but I am making it easier.

Like, and originally, I was hand-embroidering the lace on.

Pshoo. Forget that.

I am very ahead of the game. I'm really not worried with

timing at all.

Two looks, 20 grand. It's huge.

Andy, what would you do with 20 grand?

It'll probably go towards... Debt?

Some of it. Yeah.

I hope I win because $20,000

would not only help me pay off my student loans, but I could

also get a miniature pony. I want a Miniature pony

so bad. I want credit card companies

to stop calling me. I've been so poor for so long

it's funny to think 20 grand would change everything.

But it literally would change everything.

What about you? I need some drinking money,

man. $20,000 is definitely leaving

some money signs in some of the designers' eyes.

And I think that might blindside them a little bit.

So hopefully they'll drop the ball and, uh,

Go home. You know what, my second look

is just gonna be ready-to-wear off the rack even if it's the

clearance rack. I just need to get it done.

Damn it. Oh, did I just really do that?

I just did, didn't I? How is everyone?

Eh. Eh? I've seen better days.

Talk to me. The bodice looks okay.

It--it doesn't--I mean, I had to put a lot of layering in it and

boning for the construction. But I just don't feel confident

sending this down the Runway, Tim.

But you have to send two looks down the Runway.

So like it or not, fake it. Well, I think that's my

hardest thing is that, like, if I'm going to be slated on the

Runway for something that I'm not wild about...

You can't forfeit. Forget about your original

design. Make this work. Right.

Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me.

This is an issue that every designer faces.

You have a vision. You don't want to compromise it.

Right. You don't have the time.

So you're now released from it. Okay.

All right, Valerie. You can do it.

Thank you. I had just lost a day and a half

of work. I sewed things that I really wouldn't use.

I wasted time. Val?

What's wrong?

I've--I just spent, like, the entire two days cutting on all

that For nothing.

I just don't want to make an ass of myself.

Like, I don't want to have to defend something that...

You don't love? That--well, not even that I

don't love, that I don't like. Coming up on

Project Runway... Oh,, I need you to

take it off. I'm freaking out right now.

This is major, major. Crossing my fingers on this one.

I think you're just exhausted.

I am so exhausted. We're all exhausted.

I've been bottling it up all day.

I really felt loved that they came to talk with me and see how

I was doing. They didn't have to come in and

talk to me 'cause they had other things to do too.

My work is better than this. Like, I've done evening wear,

women that go to the cannes film festival.

Valerie tends to complain a lot.

I understand that she's going through a rough patch right now,

but we all are. We just deal with it

differently. And, ugh, it's just very

wearying. It's just so frustrating

when you spend all that time working on everything, and,

like, you had this idea of this, like, beautiful thing that you

were gonna make, and then everything just falls to pot.

Like, it just blows. So I have to start over,

get my head in the game, stop talking, and focus.

So who's gonna wear this second look?

One of the other eight models that got eliminated.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, there she is. Hi. How are you?

So it's just a really simple Jersey dress.

Okay, cool. How's it going?

I'm--I'm almost--I've kind of been--um, yesterday I was

finished. You what?

Oh,. My fitting is going

horrendously. The measurements that I got for

the model are smaller than her actual measurements.

So I'm really, really freaked out.

Do you want me to take my bra off?

Yeah, could you? Okay, models, see you later.

It was nice seeing you. Bye, model!

Ah. The end of the second day, I'm

really worried. I don't even have my dress done

for the couture look. I'm just really, really hoping

and praying that I can finish and execute it in the two hours

that we have the next day.

Let's go home.

♪ Wow wow ♪

I'm feeling pretty nervous. Yeah, I'm nervous about my

crystals. I've got to crystal my whole

dress. Yeah, but at least you have

a dress finished. I just feel like I definitely

bit off more than I can chew. I'm just hoping to try and get

it together. What about you, Valerie?

I just have to put crystals on, which I think might take a

while, though. I'm over feeling sad about

what's gonna happen. So I'm just trusting that I'm a

good designer despite my flaws. Has Valerie had, like, an

emotional crisis yet? Oh, yeah, Valerie freaking

out. I saw her black dress,

ready-to-wear, and it's... Black. Is it nice?

Is it black? Well, the thing is, like, she

always-- is it wool?

It's wool, girl. It's always wool.

I think this might be the week that they get tired of it, I

think, though. I think Valerie just ran out of

time and just had to get something done.

And same for Ivy. I think that's kind of what's

gonna get them in the end. Well, guys, it's time to hit

the Runway. Let's go. Single file.

Let's do this. It's gonna be a long one,

girl.

There's a lot to do. This is major, major.

I am going to have to time management myself like crazy.

That's just the name of the game and, uh, I don't want to lose.

This morning, I'm thinking, like, how long is it gonna take

me to do the jacket and then to do the headpiece so it looks

finished and well-made, but

still huge? And that's kind of Scary.

Good morning, designers. Good morning, Tim.

Good morning. All right, you know the

drill. You have two hours to send your

models to the L'Oreal Paris makeup room and the garnier

hair salon. Please use the piperlime

accessory wall very thoughtfully, okay?

Thanks, everyone. Thanks, Tim.

Thank you. I still have a lot of work to

do. And I'm nervous because my stuff

is really different than everyone else's in the room.

That velvet dress with beige feathers looked dated and old,

and just dreadful. Oh, thank God.

Oh, how are you? Mm!

I'm just finishing your dress. Back up this way.

Michael c's train is just like trouble.

Trouble. Trouble. It's so stiff and rigid.

It just seems weird to me.

Hey, Scott. Hi. Hey, Ivy. How you doing?

So I'm really excited. The finish, I had this

metallic. So just a little bronze

around her eye. Yes. Maybe just, like, a soft

little bit of light on the eye. We're doing Audrey hepburn

via my fair lady and breakfast at Tiffany's.

Alien without being green alien, but, like, abnormal.

Beautiful. Yeah. We're gonna accentuate the

eyes a little bit more, right? Okay, perfect.

Have fun, girls. Be good. I'm gonna get a report.

Could she have a lot going on right here? I want it to be messy.

Yes, it's beautiful. Love, love, love, love, love.

There's gonna be two of these going like that.

Cool. Thank you. You're welcome.

No. Designers, in ten minutes,

you and your models and I are going down to the Runway, all

right? Ten minutes. Thank you.

I'm freaking out right now. I need to make sure that I get

the dresses on, put the mod]Ls in them, and send them down the

Runway. Oh,, I need you to take

it off. I think sometimes when you're

under a lot of stress, you, uh, do your best work.

So crossing my fingers on this one.

Oh, my God, this is so not normal.

Designers and models, we are going down to the Runway,

everyone. So please follow me, all right?

Go ahead, girls, go. Just go.

The construction is completely a disaster.

So I'm hoping that I just get by on this one.

Whoop! Tim, I had some shoes set aside

for my model for her dress. Mm-hmm. Let's just leave.

Uh... Coming up on

Project Runway... I mean, she looks like

miss Guatemala. You have to choose either

boobs or legs. The dress is like a Xanax.

It's a disaster. This was tragic.

Hello. Hi.

Welcome to the Runway. As you know in fashion, one day

you're in, and the next day you're out.

There are big stakes for this challenge.

The designer who wins tonight will receive $20,000...

And will also have their design featured in a L'Oreal Paris

advertorial. We asked you create a high

fashion Runway look that will really wow us.

And then just to keep you on your toes again, we threw in a

ready-to-wear look. All right, let's meet the

judges. First we have cfda lifetime

achievement award winner Michael kors.

Hey, guys. Fashion director for

Marie Claire magazine, Nina Garcia.

Hi, everyone. And guest judge, American

fashion designer, who dresses many celebrities including the

first Lady, Michelle Obama, naeem Khan.

Hello, guys. 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.

Okay, let's start the show.

♪ ♪ when millana walks out on the

Runway, I feel that I definitely accomplish the challenge in a

way that is new, and innovative, and still true to who I am.

And I think it looks beautiful. And it's definitely high

fashion.

When the ready-to-wear look follows it, I'm so proud of

myself. I couldn't ask for anything

better. And I feel like it's really

reminiscent of who I am as a designer.

Her makeup's really pretty. Mm-hmm.

I think I got a lot of work done in such a short amount of time

that I'm pretty amazed that it looks so good.

I am definitely proud of this look just because I accomplished

everything that I wanted too.

So the ready-to-wear look is coming down the Runway

and my model hasn't looked better. I feel like I really, uh, nailed it.

I'm happy that it's kind of the look that I was going for.

But I mean, it's definitely still true to me. And I'm still happy with it

I still think it looks very beautiful. Pretty.

Oh, what a beautiful color.

Overall I think I'm safe I don't know if I'll win this one,

but I thinking that I'm safe at this point.

I'm overall very happy with the dress.

I love it. My model she looks gorgeous.

I'm kinda glancing over at the judges right now,

and sure enough Nina Garcia is looking

at that train, and she's like

"what the hell is this?"

Wow.... She looks hot. She is stun gun.

And then here comes my ready-to-wear look.

I think it looks so cool. It's the mini-me version

of my, you know, couture look.

I feel really great seeing my pieces on the Runway.

Rose is happy. I'm proud of her. This week for

how she's pulling off this dress. She looks very smooth.

Ify is confodent and strong

so... It looks great and I like the styling

I like, I like the concept. I'm very happy with it.

Yeah. Nice.

What I'm noticing, really, is the styling.

I just feel like it's a little not me.

I'm not in love with the hair. But the dress is so pretty.

It is probably the best work I've ever done.

Watching kaven come down the Runway, I think it looks good.

I feel like I've done the best job I can.

Ooh, I love the side slit action.

Holla.

I look at her gown on the Runway.

It kind of reminds me a little bit of an angel with the

missing wing or rainbow brite

on crack. You know, I'm glad it's finished.

It's a finished look.

You know what, I'm human. And hopefully people will

appreciate the fact that I pushed on.

And when all hope was lost, I could've stopped and I didn't.

I'm proud of myself that I stuck to my guns and I finished it.

Beautiful or not. It's a dress and it fits her.

She looks so good coming down the Runway.

I stand out not only because of my voice and my aesthetic,

but also because I'm the only one that did separates.

In the end, my look was perfect.

This week is about redemption.

Amare looks beautiful. The dress is super clean.

Super streamlined. Fits her so well.

And it's just really good to know that I did a good job

on this one. Yes.

Looks great. Yeah, girl. Work, Lady.

Christopher, April, congratulations.

Your scores have qualified you two to move on to the next

round. So you can leave the Runway. Thank you.

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

One of you will be named the winner of this challenge and you

will receive $20,000 from L'Oreal Paris, and your look

will appear in the L'Oreal Paris

advertorial.

And one of you will be out.

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

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

one of you will be out.

Ivy, Valerie, Michael,

you have the lowest scores. We're gonna talk to the

designers with the highest scores first and then we'll

bring you back out. You can leave the Runway.

Not good. We're on the bottwm.

We're on the bottom. So how are you feeling right

now? I didn't think that I was gonna be in the bottom.

I think I just felt like I took on too much.

But I thought the concept was really beautiful.

I'm kind of surprised that Gretchen got in the top.

I mean, I knew that Andy and Mondo would be up there, but,

like... I didn't know if Andy would.

I thought Andy would. It was just so unique.

I think with Gretchen's, the reason I don't think she's gonna

win is because I think they're like her ready-to-wear more than

her high fashion look. It's a huge prize.

It's 20 grand, man. Yeah, it is.

It's amazing. Yeah. That's crazy.

Gretchen, tell us about your look.

I chose velvet as my finish. And it was really important for

me to be a fantasy version of

who I think I am as a designer and the type of woman that I

want to create for. And then as I translated that

into my ready-to-wear, I really

feel like it's really taking everything you love about this

and creating something that's very accessible.

I think that your high fashion dress--I actually think

is very wearable. Did you do the feather work

yourself? I did.

That's all hand applique. I love the back.

I wish there was more of this beading in the front somehow.

I almost want to turn it around and have the front be the back

and the back be the front because that to me brings it to

another level. It's always a rule of thumb

that I believe in, is that when you're wearing something like

this, you sit across a dinning table, you meet people, it's

always this front part is very important.

So I would've liked a little more emphasis in the front.

But it's beautiful overall. Thank you.

I don't love her hair because I think that the look is so

not costume-y. And I think the hair makes it

feel a little costume-y. But I think her makeup is

extraordinary. It's perfect, actually.

I like both looks. Thank you.

Andy, tell us about your looks.

The finish that I picked, um, was a metallic finish.

I wanted to create a silhouette that was very strong.

Still keeping my woman feminine.

For the ready-to-wear look, I wanted to maintain that

strength so I maintained the--the same armor on the arm

and on the side. And this is actually the same

fabric as this. But I did a sheer overlay to

make it more wearable. I like it.

You've kept to your vision. And as a designer, you have to

stick to your vision. I like that you've got so much

technique going on in there. I like all the detailing.

And I love that cocktail dress. It's real. It's wearable.

Good job. I like the idea of it.

It's not so obvious, the metallic.

I think that the translation works brilliantly.

And my favorite thing, I think that those boot pants--that

those could translate into something actually quite

wearable. I love the boots.

How did you make this? The shoe had to go into the

pant and then she slipped it on as if it was one piece.

It's a pair of pumps inside. It looks great.

The affect is fantastic. You did a wise choice in

choosing this blend of metallics.

Gives it a little depth. I also like that you went into

the fantasy makeup. The ready-to-wear, it looks

great. It feels like it belongs in the

same collection. I liked it.

Thank you. In terms of craftsmanship,

I think that you've done a great job.

The day look, I like. I think that that's quite

beautiful. But I don't love the high

fashion look. Okay.

Mondo, tell us about your two looks.

I chose bright. And so I kind of went back to my

childhood and thought about a kaleidoscope.

You turn it. You know, you get all those

beautiful shapes and it always changes.

So I just wanted to give it interest from the front to the

back. With the day look, I just wanted

to go completely opposite and

have kind of an absence of color.

But still be relatable to this look, but very clean and just

very easy to wear. First what I want to know,

you made this hat? I made this this morning.

That is a great hat. Thank you.

I love the hat. I love the frizzy hair.

Love the makeup. You were very bold to use all

those stripes. They're tricky when you work

with stripes. There's only one thing to me.

The gown is too short. And I also think that the

fabric choice looks inexpensive. Okay.

Can I see the back of the dress, please?

I think the back is really kind of dreamy.

I think it looks a little like

a Kentucky derby horse ribbon exploded.

I think it's really a very,

very, very glamorous, exciting,

and original design. I'm not surprised you picked

bright 'cause I know you love color.

And that's phenomenal. I love to see that.

And I love the cocktail dress.

It's simple. It's wearable. It's beautiful. Good work.

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

Now we're gonna talk to the designers with the lowest

scores. And then we'll bring you back

out. You can leave the Runway.

Thank you.

Hey, guys. Hey.

What's up? Yeah. What do you think about the

people that are in the bottom? Do you think all three of

them deserve to be in the bottom? Yeah. I do.

Ivy, tell us about your two looks.

I chose bright. When I think about the word

bright, I thought of the beaches in Hawaii.

So for the couture look, I did biased strips.

I kind of wanted to really play with the idea of the ocean and

the waves. So I styled her hair also to

look like a wave. And for the ready-to-wear piece,

I did just a simple cocktail dress that kind of replicated

the, um, the ocean spray on the

couture dress. I think they look like

bridesmaids under the Sea. Everyone up here has a

bridesmaid pageant problem. I think the necklines on both of

the dresses are really...

Nurse-y on top is the only word for it.

You know, I think that the colors could've been gorgeous,

but they needed to be alleviated, you know, with a

little bit of lightness. So they just don't make it for

me. I think you had problems

with the fit on both dresses. Yeah.

Your model is a very young girl and she looks ancient.

You tried very hard. Thank you.

But it's overkill. Okay. In every way from the colors

to your technique to your, you know, the way you laid out

your bias strips. Not a good dress.

Will you show us the back?

I thought the back is better than the front.

This is a little bit messy. One strap is thicker than the

other, then all those stripes. If that would've been resolved

a little bit better... But this is just a little bit

all over the place. But I didn't hate it as much as

as the others. Hmm.

Valerie, tell us about your looks.

The element that I received was crystal.

My initial inspiration was Audrey hepburn.

Audrey in both breakfast at Tiffany's,

but also in my fair Lady. For the high fashion look,

i wanted to do something that was classic, but still regal,

and elegant, and light, and buoyant.

And then for my ready-to-wear look, I wanted to go kind of the

opposite. I wanted to have a contrast.

So something that's a little more versatile, a little more

accessible. The number one thing you

learn in fashion is you should

let the fabric talk to you.

You were not imaginative enough.

You forced the fabric. And that's when everything

starts going crazy. You're trying to do a

structured dress out of soft

fabric. Right. It's like trying to make a

winter coat out of kleenex.

Wow. I think this looks like

a beauty pageant dress. I mean, she looks like

miss Guatemala. There's where my family's

from, actually. No offense to you.

No. It's okay. It's okay. But the hair and the makeup

are not helping your cause.

I mean, I really question your

taste with this. It's just--there's nothing

modern about it. I think that this metallic,

weird diamante hoop at her shoulder is just wacky.

I mean, the only possible accessory that she could use

with this is a wand.

I mean, it literally looks like

"I love you and you and you."

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

And then you went the other way around.

She just came from the office and someone said "oh, by the

way, it's a crystal challenge. "

And she went into her handbag and she sewed three crystal

buttons on it. I mean, it's not even--it's not

even in the ballpark. No, I-I agree.

Your points are very valid. Michael, tell us about your

looks. The category that I had to

choose from was metallic. I love the color.

And I did the shape of the dress first.

Was kind of digging, like, the shapes that was going into it.

And then for the ready-to-wear, i just wanted to do something,

you know, just simple and easy

and not too over-the-top.

Maybe like the mini-me version

of the evening gown, so to speak.

I'm not good at this. I've been in the bottom before.

I'm kind of nervous up here.

In this instance, the fabric spoke to you and you did work

well with the fabric, I think.

Proportions in this dress need a lot of work.

I'm not a big fan of that bordeaux color.

But I like the cocktail dress. Could be a little longer.

I think you have to choose either boobs or legs.

Because now it's, like, I don't know where to look.

The amazing legs or the amazing boobs.

And, therefore, I would've made the skirt longer.

You're the only one standing up here who the clothes are

constructed well, sewn well, and tailored well.

I think you had a big problem with this gown--a ball gown.

You know, it's not the most modern thing.

So to wire the hem like that and

give us this ridiculous train,

and then to style her like like Scarlett o'hara in

gone with the wind, you know, it's not a costume challenge.

Make her turn around, please hello! I mean, she's got all the

curtains from tara ripped off the wall and put into the one

dress. Okay.

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.

Okay, let's talk about Andy. You guys loved Andy.

I love the fact that he did pants.

Me too. You know, for me, Andy grew

on me. When the first thing came out,

I was not so sure. I felt it was over-the-top.

There was too much going on. But I just feel that once you

look at it and the details-- and the man has really put so

much effort into it, there's something going on there which

is good. And I think that his day

dress is really chic, sleek,

sexy. I like the day dress.

Great. You would wear that.

I would wear that dress. Oh, yeah, I like the day

dress. It's a beautiful, black, simple

dress. But I like that he had the

metallic under the sheer fabric. Yeah, which was smart.

I think it was smart. Yeah. That was.

I like the choice of fabric. And I like the way he kind of

mixes it together. I-I definitely do.

Let's talk about Mondo. It's refreshing that he--

he embraces color.

And with all this mishmash, it could go really, really

wrong. But he always makes it work.

Part of that, honestly, the guy knows how to construct

clothes. So he can take something that

could look quite honestly like a train wreck and turn it into

something that actually, I think, is quite beautiful.

His high fashion look was so over-the-top, but it was

still working. And then you look at his

ready-to-wear look, which was really commercial.

Yeah. It's very commercial because

if you put it on, you'd look skinnier.

Oh, yes, very slimming. Such an important point.

And that's a big thing. Very slimming.

A very, very smart, commercial, but still chic

dress. Yeah.

Okay, let's talk about Gretchen. I like her bohemian flavor.

It was Gretchen just elevated.

I thought the back detailing was gorgeous.

I love the degrade with the feathers.

And I loved all the layers of the fabric.

It looked effortless. And I really--I do think that

for a beauty shoot for the advertorial, the fact that this

velvet has so much richness would be perfect.

Would be great. The ready-to-wear dress is

nice. But she could've done a little

bit more here. I like the silhouette,

though. I do too. I think that the dress--

it's interesting that when you first look at it, you think it's

kind of demure and conservative.

But, in fact, when she walks, and you get those panels moving

on the side, I like the surprise of that.

Yeah, I mean, it was quite sexy.

It's a sexy dress. It doesn't look sexy

standing. But when she's walking, I mean,

the slits, they went right up to here.

They were Heidi high. I was, like, "mm, I'm liking

that one. "

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

When you look at the three lined up, it's a shocker.

No, it was my fair Lady... >> Gone with the wind.

And the little mermaid. I mean, it's just so

old-fashioned. I don't get it.

Yeah. When I look at what happened with Michael, he just kept going

and going and going. I mean, it looked like she was

dragging a bolt of fabric behind her.

Yeah, I didn't love that train either.

But I thought that there were a few things in that dress that

were actually not so bad. One could salvage these

dresses. I mean, if one had to, he could

retune it and he could really make them easily better.

Yeah. Yeah.

Oof. What about Valerie? The wedding dress, you cannot

salvage. Oh, no.

There's nothing right about this dress.

No. It's awful. The styling on top of it is

horrific. Oh, my God.

The fabric truly, like, got away from her.

There's a lot wrong here. I mean, the fabric is--

this dress is the black dress. It's, like, nothing.

I mean, it's... The dress is like a Xanax.

I mean, it's such a bore.

With the sloping... I think the biggest problem,

honestly, I think there's no idea there.

There's no possibility of executing it well.

And she really has no understanding of fabric at all.

None. Sad.

What about Ivy? This was tragic.

If you look at this gown, it is doing everything bad that a

dress could do to a woman's body.

Totally. And all those asymmetrical lines

on the top of the bustier, I mean, it just makes the woman

totally wrong. It just...

It just looks like a mess. And the color.

I mean, it's like they used primary colors like this.

It's, like, really a disaster. And then the same bad

neckline twice. Yeah. You know what else really

worries me about Ivy, I think she pretty consistently bites

off more than she can chew. Yeah.

What's worse, Valerie or Ivy?

I say Ivy. Ivy's worse?

I think Valerie. I--ugh. I, uh...

I think it's an unbelievably tight race for hideous today.

Okay, let's bring them back out.

One of you will be named the winner and one of you will be

out.

Mondo, your high fashion look

was bold, playful, and

interesting. Your ready-to-wear version was

graphic and commercial. And your signature is really

coming through. Congratulations, Mondo.

You are the winner of this challenge.

Yes. And you get $20,000 from

l'oreal. Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you. Yay. I left Colorado with $14

in my bank account. So I have $20,014 in my bank

account now. Thank you so much.

Your look will also appear in the l'oreal advertorial.

Wow. This is a big win.

You can leave the Runway. Thank you so much.

I won. Yay. Oh, my God, look at your face.

Yay. Congratulations. I'm so happy for you.

Will you buy me a little pony?

Are you, like, tripping out? You just won $20,000.

Sit down. I'm so happy for you, Mondo.

Good boy. Totally. It's amazing.

It's really--it really is amazing.

I'm so excited, I... You know, like, this is what I

came--this is what I came to do.

Oh, man.

Andy... You're in.

You can leave the Runway. Thank you.

Gretchen, you're in. You can leave the Runway.

Thank you.

Michael...

You're in. You can leave the Runway.

Thank you.

Valerie, Ivy, one of you will

be out.

Valerie, we don't think that you had a clear concept.

From fabric to styling, your choices were unfortunate.

Ivy, your blue dresses really

disappointed us today. The color choice was way off.

And your silhouettes were extremely unflattering.

Ivy...

I'm sorry, you're out.

Valerie...

You're in. You can leave the Runway.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate the opportunity.

It was a pleasure to meet you.

I am stunned. You're safe?

Are you okay?

I don't think so.

Like, I was prepared to leave. You know, I really was.

I just felt like she had more fight than I did.

And I felt like it should've been me.

I really do.

Auf wiederesehen. Thank you.

Thank you for the op--for the opportunity.

Oh, man, Ivy's gonna get lots of... Love.

Hi.

Ugh. No sad faces. Can't handle this.

I don't even know what to say. I'm shocked.

I think, if anything, I'm just gonna really miss designing

'cause I don't think I've ever loved anything else as much as

i do. I'm really gonna miss

designing. But it doesn't stop here.

Though. Yeah. Yeah.

You just won't be designing here.

Yeah. Ivy, um, I wish I could go

home for you.

I really do.

Oh, Jesus.

Ivy, you know what makes me sick, though?

The looks before the judges just weren't finished.

Yeah, I know. They just weren't.

And it was very evident to me. No, tota--same here.

But c'est la vie. Well, I have to send you to

the workroom to clean up your space. Yes, bye, guys. Oh.

Gonna miss you. It sucks because I just felt

like I still had so much more to show of me and I think I have

a lot more creativity than some of the other designers out

there.

You really inspire me. Stay strong and stop

complaining so much. All right, girl. I will.

I love it so much that I told myself that if I moved to

new York, that I would sacrifice

whatever I could just to fulfill my dream.

So I'm definitely gonna keep on going.

Good to see you. Congratulations.

Thank you so much. 20 grand.

It's always amazing to work with somebody as great as

Collier. He's a makeup genius.

Cool. Can't wait to see you out there.

Hold it. Right there. Beautiful. Good.

Walking into the advertorial shoot is intimidating.

Finding it again. Your hand's on your hips.

Do you want to smooth the train?

In a second. All right, attitude.

Stop. Turn. Beautiful. Right there. Attitude.

I mean, I've never done anything like this in my life.

How are you envisioning this? Eyen, will you do what you

were doing earlier with your arm?

That looks cool like that. But you know what, I could get

used to it. I love what you've done.

These designs are beautiful. I never thought that I would

be here, but I'm a dreamer. Oh, wait, that's cute.

Do that again. There you go. Ha ha ha.

And winning this just really makes me know that I can do

this. That's it. Good. Thank you so much.

It's good to dream and work hard because it does pay off.

Thank you so much. I'm out of here.

No. Next time. All right, next time.

See ya. Bye, everybody. Thank you. Bye.

Next time on Project Runway... Designers, we are bringing

back the hp challenge from last season.

Yay. Wow. You will be creating a

textile design that would be placed on fabric.

And that fabric will become part of your garment design.

I think that Mondo's print is very Mondo.

But I don't know the story behind it.

He won't talk about it. I'm about to send in some

special guests. And be nice to them, please.

Oh, my God!

It's unwearable.

Fashion is not for sissies. I wish I knew what the story

was.
