08x08 - A Rough Day on the Runway

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on

Project runway...

Your challenge is to
create resort wear.

Designers, I'm putting you

Into teams of two.

You are executing each other's

Design work.

[All groaning]

I'm looking for to make

Simple blouse.

I can just feel her crazy

Energy.

If we can just finish.

You keep going back to colors

That no one likes.

Move on.

Why can't the judges see

Value in what I do?

The whole outfit has no

Personality.

It's a yawn.

When I found out that I was
working with michael, I had to

Edit down a lot.

Is that not throwing him

Under the bus?

April, congratulations.

You are the winner of this
challenge.

Wow. Thank you so much.

Casanova, you designed with

Your grandmother in mind.

I'm sorry.

That means you're out.

This is project runway.

Will receive $100,000 from

L'oreal paris to start their own

Line, a fashion spread in

Marie claire magazine,

$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.

The model paired with the winner

Of project runway will receive a

Magazine and $25,000 from

L'oreal paris studio secrets

Professional.

Do you feel like it's
kind of

Quieter in here today?

Yeah, it is quieter.

Casanova's no longer with us.

Duh.

How sad.

The workroom's gonna be kind of

Boring without him here.

Mm-hmm.

I got called out on the

Runway yesterday by heidi.

For?

Michael, I saw you roll your

Eyes ten times while ivy was
speaking.

Working with her on a
previous challenge, I was

Terrified.

Then you shouldn't roll your
eyes.

I was like...

Didn't know what to say.

How you feeling, ivy?

It's done.

Yesterday was yesterday.

You were so blase about it.

You were like, "yeah, it was bad

Colors.

Meh.

Yeah, it was poor design. Meh."

I think I'm a very strong

Woman.

And there's been times where

People have told me that I'm not

Good enough, I'll never make it,

And if I listened to those

Idiots, I wouldn't be here

Today.

Let's go.

Let's do it.

Time to get busy.

Hello

All: hi.

For this challenge, you will

Be looking to the past to secure

Your future.

Tim will fill you in on all of

The details.

When heidi tells us that

We're stepping back in time, I

Feel like it really could be

Anything.

You never know on this show

What's gonna happen.

All I know is I don't want to

Be forced into making a corset.

Good morning designers.

I am honored to be standing in

Front of photographs of

Jacqueline kennedy, one of the

World's leading fashion icons.

Ever since she became first lady

In 1961, she has personified

Quality, taste, style,

Sophistication, and elegance.

She is how the world perceives

Classic american sportswear.

For this challenge, you will

Design a look that personifies

Your own contribution to
american sportsware.

Remember your point of view as

A designer.

You will have 30 minutes to

Sketch and use

Jacqueline kennedy as your

Inspiration.

Then we're going shopping at

Mood where you'll have a budget
of $150.

And you have until midnight

Tonight.

And your sketching time begins

Now.

Have fun.

Using jacqueline kennedy as

An inspiration, at first I

Thought was kind of a hindrance

Because I relate her so much to

American fashion.

And my aesthetic plays a lot

With asian ideas of aesthetic,

And so I thought that it wasn't

Gonna really mix well, but

Jacqueline kennedy was a fashion

Risk-taker without even knowing

It, and so it's gonna be a

Statement piece.

So, designers, your sketching

Time is up, and we're heading

Off to mood.

Let's go.

All right, designers, think

Quality, taste, style,

Sophistication, elegance,

Expensive.

Your time starts now.

Whaa!

[Laughter]

Once I get to mood

I let the fabric speak to me.

I just kind of run up and down

The aisles like a crazy man.

Yeah, those bolts of fabric have

Voices, and they say, "come over

And pick me up," and I usually

Do.

I'm lost right now.

I don't really have a clear

Vision of what I want to create.

Fortunately, I do have a color

Palette in mind.

I'm thinking either white and

Black or white and navy.

Designers, one minute.

One minute remains.

Like, what if I screwed up?

But we can't think about that.

I think I did a fabulous job.

All right, designers, let's

Head back to the workroom and

Get to work.

All right?

Thank you, mood.

All: thanks, mood.

What were you thinking of

Doing?

Like, a panel?

Like a...

I'm a little concerned about

Mondo's look.

It's very mondo, but I feel

Like, because of the materials

He used, he might be not hitting

The nail on the head with this

One.

I can't go back to mood, so

I have to make this work, so I

Think I'm going to switch and do

A skirt and a top.

This could either be really

Good or really bad.

"Michael, your look was sewn

Well and expensive.

You may leave the runway."

[Laughs]

For this challenge, I decided

To channel the earliest

Americans--the puritans.

I'm making a skirt out of wool

Crepe, but it's sort of

Reminiscent of a '50s circle

Skirt, but it's got cartridge

Pleating, which is kind of like

The crucible.

Going on, but I really kind of

Don't care at this point, 'cause

I think I'm losing my mind.

Aah.

There's shuch a small group of
designers now that if you

Even eff up one time, you're

Going home.

Coming up on

Project runway...

What happens with this?

I was--wanted to maybe soften

It.

It looks like my

Grandmother's clothes.

I'm the old fart.

I admit it.

But I find it to be pretty
vulgar.

Really?

Yeah.

I don't think that some of

The other contestants really

Know what sportswear is.

To me, michael c's look looks

Very c*ck, and I would have

To say the same thing for

Christopher's.

How's it going, michael?

I don't know yet.

I might make another dress.

I'm not really feeling my blue

Backless dress right now.

And that looks too flight

Attendant-stewardess.

Doesn't it?

Kind of.

So these are my pants.

[Laughs]

It looks like I could fit in

One leg.

And my model could probably fit

In the same leg.

Have you seen what andy's

Working on?

Andy? No, not really.

Kind of like the pants that

He wears a lot, but in shorts.

Really?

I know.

I think that looks cute.

A fashion-forward person

Takes risks, and so I'm pushing

Fashion a little more forward.

Kind of hoping he keeps going

With it.

Just keep going.

Yeah, just keep going, andy.

Hi, everyone.

I'm here to check in with you.

How's valerie?

Valerie is doing good.

What I'm doing is a very slim

Black pant, just almost like a

Legging, but not a legging.

What's the fit like through

The hips and thighs?

Oh, it's fitted.

I'm the old fart.

I admit it.

But I find it to be pretty

Vulgar.

Really?

Yeah, you've got to be

Careful of what happens here
and what happens back here.

Right. Okay.

So it's like a very beautifully

Draped cargo pant.

Right.

It's you.

It's me. Exactly.

Hey, michael.

Hi, tim.

So talk to me about the
skirt.

So right now it's really

Kind of heavy.

Yes, it is.

Michael drummond's skirt is

A little crucible right now.

All she needs is a bonnet
on her head.

I mean, the more that I look

At this, it's annie oakley.

It's annie get your g*n.

People recycle old in fashion
all the time.

Sometimes things that haven't

Been seen for ages and ages and

Ages can look extremely modern.

I mean, I don't want her to look

Like she's also got a ruler and
she beats children.

Do you know what I'm saying?

Like, I mean, it could go there.

That could be the other side

Of her.

Stop.

Thank you, tim.

Here they are.

Yay!

Jackie kennedy, she wouldn't

Wear that.

I don't care what time period

It is.

And the fit was, like, going up

Her a*s.

It was just, like, saggy

Saddlebags.

We are done.

I think we are in the clear for
sure.

Yeah.

I'm kind of concerned for andy.

Yeah.

I don't think that look is

Jackie o or anyone really.

She's more like jackie yo

Than jackie o.

[Laughter]

I think when the judges see

Those pants, they're gonna think

If jackie kennedy was alive

Today, she would probably wear

Pants like this, 'cause she

Was a risk-taker.

I think she would.

I just hope they don't--i hope

They get it.

After you. Ladies first.

Excuse me.

[Laughter]

Mondo, mondo, mondo.

Ooh, I like this so much

Better after a couple of hours

Of sleep.

Oh. Oh.

Good morning, designers.

Hi, tim.

I have an announcement to

Make.

Of course you do.

Today is not a runway day.

It is not a runway day.

What day is it?

Coming up on

Project runway...

He has no conviction or vision.

Egads.

If they're gonna send me
home, they're gonna send me home

On something that I believe in.

Jackie kennedy would not have

Camel toe.

Today is not a runway
day.

What?

It is not a runway day.

I'm so happy about this little

Twist, you have no idea.

Whenever tim gunn says

There's a twist, I want to smack

Him in the head.

You will be creating an

Additional item to go with this

Look.

And that item is outerwear.

Ohh.

If the garment we made is

Similar to a jacket already, can

We make that our outerwear and

Make something underneath?
-No.

I feel like this is already a

Jacket, and anything over this
is gonna be really bulky.

I don't disagree with you.

And I was surprised to see that

You created a jacket.

You will have 15 minutes to

Sketch.

Then we're going shopping at

Mood where you'll have



Of $150.

Wow.

Hey.

This is gonna help our

Outfits.

I agree.

I like the idea of a complete

Full look for my jackie kennedy

Of 2010.

We are in 2010, right?

Thank you, everyone.

I'll be back.

Thank you.

I'm really stumped.

I'm deciding to do a vest.

It's very modern.

It's very classic.

And it's very versatile.

I'm really hoping for a win.

[Speaks indistinctly]

Girl.

I'm following my butt, not

My gut.

Does that mean you're making
her a fanny pack?

Girl, just wait.

All right, everyone, let's

Head off to mood.

Yay!

Follow me, please.

I'm looking for a really

Soft, stretch-type wool.

And this fabric is sticking out,

And I want that fabric.

Hmm?

I could have been a b*tch about
it and take the fabric anyway,

But I rise above that kind of

Stuff.

Could I get five yards?

For my shrug, I'd love to use

Something that resembles fur.

It was, like, breeze through the

Faux furs, and they all looked

So tacky and cheap.

So I went straight immediately

Just down to the leathers.

This is the first time I've ever

Picked up animal fur.

I feel a little bit bad.

All right, everyone, time is

Up.

Thank you very much.

Come on, let's go back to
parsons.

Thank you, mood.

I wonder if this was a boy

Animal or a girl animal.

The fur is really long and kind

Of nappy.

So I'm gonna basically give the

Hide a shave.

It looks really pretty.

It takes it up, like, so

Much.

Totally.

You know, I'm thinking I might

Recut this coat all over again.

I turned out that beige

Jacket, but it looks like a damn

Terry cloth towel.

Now I got to make another look.

Every single challenge, he

Creates multiple things.

He has to wait until tim gunn

Comes in and tells him what to

Do, and then everything changes.

He has no conviction or vision

For these challenges.

How is everyone?

Fine.

Boy, is it quiet in here.

Pensive.

It is pensive.

Michael.

Hi, tim.

I want to hear about the
outerwear.

Okay.

But I also want to hear about

This skirt again.

I had it on my model
yesterday, and it looked really

Good.

It did?

Yes.

The skirt?

Yes.

There's several gauges of

Tim gunn.

There's this one.

And this one.

And this one.

And he's giving me this one.

Do you feel strong enough to

Stand up on that runway for it?

I want to fix it a little

Bit, but i-i really like it.

Hi, andy.

Hey, tim.

How is this whole crotch
area?

'Cause you don't want that
pulling.

Yeah, earlier it was doing
this, like--it was giving her,

Like, an arrow there.

Jackie kennedy would not have
camel toe.

Right.

Michael.

Hi, tim.

What's that?

Well, I made three jackets

Today.

You made three jackets?

Yeah, and about three other

Dresses too.

I found this fabric today at

Mood, and it looked so much

Better there until I got it

Here.

I kind of like it better in the

Denim.

Well, it's prettier than

This, but what wouldn't be?

Put the stuff under the table.

That's where the rest of it

Is.

Egads.

All right, everyone, I am going

To leave you for the night.

Make it work, everybody.

All: thank you.

A little piece of my soul is

Dying every second.

Mine too.

I'm not finished yet.

I have to put the facing on my

Shrug, which is, again, more

Handwork.

My fingers are gonna fall off.

I know.

Coming up on

Project runway...

Tim gunn has got me real
nervous.

Michael, in two minutes,

We're going down to the runway.

This can't be happening.

I don't want to be sent home

Over a damn zipper.

Runway day, are you nervous?

Not really.

No?

This morning, I'm confident.

I'm gonna stand by my look no

Matter what.

I really, really love the

Concept and the idea behind it.

I'm concerned for andy.

I just feel like he didn't

Pay attention to the challenge

At all.

Mm-mm, he designed for
himself.

Like, he just made whatever
he wanted to make.

I just don't want to go home.

That's all I'm asking.

Just don't send me home.

Okay?

I don't think you're going

Home, michael drummond.

I don't know.
Tim gunn's got me real nervous.

Michael drummond is probably

The most artistic designer in

This competition.

I mean, he definitely has his

Own point of view.

And, you know, I praise him for

That.

Mondo, you look fabulous
today.

Thank you.

I love your outfit.

It was inspired by the cotton

Club.

Let me see.

Stand up.

It's so cute.

Did you make that shirt?

Yes.

Love it.

Hey, would you tap dance for
a second?

No.

Come on.
I'll give you a dollar.

All right.

[Laughter]

I love.

Never put on snaps so fast in my
life.

The issue with my design is

Really just gonna be getting the

Perfect fit on rose, my model.

The judges are really critical

About the proportions, so as

Long as I can get that, I think

I should be in good shape.

All right, you have two hours

To send your models to the

L'oreal paris makeup room and

The garnier hair salon.

The piperlime accessory wall,

Use it thoughtfully.

I'm sending in your models.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you, tim.

It's cute.

The top fits her well, and the
skirt fits her well.

It's a little high above her
hips.

Let me see the pant pleat
first.

I'm trying not to panic that the
crotch isn't fitting as nicely,

So I'm trying to just fix the

Problem as much as I can and

Make it work.

Okay. Put 'em in here.

Your little breast cup things

In that one over here.

Let's go to makeup.
-Okay.

Hi.

Hello.

We want to do a smoky eye.

Uh-huh.

Smoky eye. Imagine that.

So how about a light smoke

With that red hair?

Yeah, like, a light smoke.

Like...

Yeah, let's do that.

I want to simulate, like,

The modern-day french braid.

Okay, come on.

Let's try this on.

My dress looks beautiful on her.

I really, really like it.

So it's gonna go like this.

The shrug, I don't know how

That's gonna work out.

Designers and models, in



The runway, all right?

As we're putting on the

Skirt, the invisible zipper

Breaks.

I am probably gonna have a heart

Attack.

Damn it.

This can't be happening.

I don't want to be sent home

Over a damn zipper.

I had to pull out the pliers,

Did a little fixing.

Ooh, girl, I was about to have

A heart attack.

You know, this is a weird

Challenge.

Maybe like 50% of the room I'm a

Little nervous for.

I think andy's reads

Through-and-through andy, but

I don't think it reads at all

Jacqueline.

Mike c's outfit is a c*ck

Dress with, like, a mom jacket

Over it.

Christopher, his outer piece, I

Think, is just odd.

All right, designers and
models, follow me down to the

Runway.

I don't know what three are

Gonna be in the bottom, 'cause

I feel like it could be one of

Those where, like, more than

Three are in the bottom.

That's it. All right.

Coming up on

Project runway...

It looks like a dirty old rug.
I think it's insulting.

I feel like I'm on a

Different planet.

This is a train wreck.

So what are you, a grand

Couturier?

Did I miss something?

I mean, come on.

Hello

All: hi.

Welcome to the runway.

As you know, in fashion, one

Day, you're in, and the next

Day, you're out.

There are nine of you here, and

After tonight there will be

Eight.

For this challenge, we asked you

To create a fashion-forward look

That shows your take on american

Sportswear.

You were inspired by fashion

Icon jackie kennedy.

Then we asked that you create an

Outerwear piece to go with your

Look.

You had $300 and two days to put

It together.

All right, let's meet the

Judges.

First we have top american

Designer michael kors...

Hey, guys.

Fashion director for

Marie claire magazine

Hi, everyone.

And our guest judge today,

Actress january jones.

Hi, everyone.

All: hello.

Welcome.

Thank you.

We will score your designs

As they come down the runway.

One of you will be named the

Winner, and one of you will be

Out.

Let's start the show.

[House music]

♪ ♪

I really like the way it
looks.

I like the way it moves.

She fills it out perfectly.

I think that I understood this

Challenge.

They said clean, elegant,

Sophisticated, simple, but

Fashion-forward.

And I think the dress is that.

I love pencil skirts and I think
that she looks really sexy.

It's me. It's edgy.

I'm really happy with this look,

And I think that it definitely

Fulfilled the challenge and

Also fulfilled my aesthetic.

And I'm really confident in it.

I'm just so excited.

She looks so beautiful.

And she's really embodying

Jacqueline kennedy.

The entire overall look looks

Stupendous, and it looks very,

Very expensive.

I think it's very original.

It's very different.

It's things that I've never seen

Before.

And I definitely am very proud

Of what I've created.

I'm a little nervous. I'm
curious to know what the

Judges are gonna think of me

Sending down a c*ck dress.

But my model looks great.

Maybe her walking in this dress

Shall spark something in the

Judges' eye to make me safe or

Put me in the top.

It's really hard being on this
side of the runway.

I nitpick everything.

But I feel like it looks like

Something jacqueline would maybe

Wear, and, more than anything,

That's what feels good.

You know, I've come a long way
in this competition,

And I really like my garment.

There's something very beautiful

About that monochromatic outfit,

But, as my model walks down the

Runway, I think to myself, the

Skirt's too short.

Why is the skirt so short?

Oh, stop.

When I see my look coming down
the runway, I feel great.

I think I pulled off a very

Clean look, and it's very

Versatile.

I think all the pieces could
stand well on their own, but

Also changed amongst other

Garments in your wardrobe.

It was good to be done and

Relaxed, but it's nerve-racking

'Cause you just never know which

Way the bottle's gonna spin.

Once it hits the runway I have
no power.

I'm kind of sweating when I'm

Watching because of the fact

That the fit is really off on

The crotch area.

But the overall look, I really,

Really love.

Eyen defenitly has the spirit,
the grace, and the

Elegance that jacqueline kennedy

Was all about.

She looks sophisticated and

Strong and smart, and that's

Exactly what I wanted to send

Down, so I'm 150% happy with

This look.

And I think I'm gonna win this

One.

If I call your name,
please

Step forward.

Michael costello, please step

Forward.

April.

Gretchen.

If I've called your name,

Congratulations, your scores

Have qualified you to move on to

The next challenge.

You can leave the runway.

Thanks.

I guess we thought wrong, huh?

Yeah.

The top three because, you know,

Jackie kennedy's a fashion icon,

And she sets trends.

And I could so imagine her in

Your outfit, you know.

Like, it's so fashion-forward.

When I said it was an honor to

Be there with gretchen, it's

All bull[bleep].

I don't think jackie kennedy

Would ever wear any of those

Pieces that she sent down the

Runway.

The remaining designers have

The highest and the lowest

Scores.

Let's bring out your models.

One of you will be named the
winner

And one of you will be out.

Tell us about your look.

For jacqueline kennedy in



Her modern, but still keep her

Classic and keep her streamlined

At the same time.

But I want to give her a little

Bit of an edge.

Immediately thought of a fall

Look.

That's why you put a jacket

Over a jacket?

Well, it's more of a vest.

'Cause she's wearing a

Jacket under the jacket, isn't
she?

I mean, it could be used as
a jacket, but it's like a

Blouse that can be a jacket.

Can we have a look?

Sure.

Is that not a jacket?

It's a double-knit.

And I made it intentionally to

Be something that could be worn

As a blouse, but...

It looks like a jacket.

She can wear a camisole

Underneath, and, if she wants,

She can take it off.

Can we put it back on?

Sure.

It has no impact at all.

It's just sad looking.

I mean, she's wearing a lycra

Tube skirt with no design in it.

The jacket looks very sadly

Tailored.

The collar is an odd shape.

Well, I wanted to keep it

Really simple and basic, and I

Tried to put, you know...

But, guys, simple doesn't

Mean boring.

Some of the best things are very

Simple and have no design

Gimmicks to them.

Christopher.

When I was thinking of

Jacqueline kennedy, I was

Definitely inspired by the

Effortless, the elegant theme,

So I wanted to do a dress, a

Fitted dress, with kind of an

Asymmetrical neckline, and

Then, when we got the

Opportunity for the second

Challenge, I found these hides,

These furs, and so I cut the fur

And then I incorporated these

Pieces together to kind of

Create a stripe.

Well, this was my favorite.

The dress is beautiful.

I love the silhouette of it.

It's chic.

I loved all the draping.

I think the dress is elegant

And sexy at the same time.

I like the subtle sheen.

The wrap on the other hand, I

Like the texture, and I like the

Color.

I have to say that that dress in

Itself is a tricky one to try

To figure out what on earth you

Would wear over it.

Yes.

What you've made, I mean, it
looks like a dirty, old rug,

Because it's unreadable.

If you can't see it like that,

It's not good.

Michael drummond, tell us about

Your look.

I was thinking about things

About jackie kennedy, and I was

Thinking about a vintage

Silhouette.

I wanted to do a deconstructed

Jacket.

I did some cartridge pleating.

I just wanted to sort of make

Something modern, but something

That could also transcend to the
past.

The top underneath the jacket is

Just an insane concept.

That you would think that that

Has anything to do with american

Sportswear, I think it's
insulting.

I don't think the drop waist

Is flattering with the belt,

'Cause I just don't see any of

Her in that.

Can I see it without the

Jacket?

Your muse was a woman that is
iconic.

Yeah, she's fabulous.

Right.

I'm surprised that this is what

You have to deliver.

Mondo, tell us about your

Look.

In my kitchen, I have a

Picture of jacqueline kennedy.

She's turning around, 'cause the

Paparazzi's chasing her.

I started playing with the

Conceptual idea of, like, she's

Always in the public eye.

I wanted to find prints and

Textiles that were overblown

And just play with that idea.

And I just wanted to keep it

Really smart, sleek, and

Streamlined.

I didn't mean your model.

I meant you.

Tell us about your look.

Oh, my look?

Oh, wow.

I'm kidding.

Well, my roommates were

Asking me to tap dance earlier.

So...i don't know.

It looks sharp.

Yeah, it is loud, but you

Designed within the challenge.

Can we have a look at it

Without the jacket?

I love that it has the color

In the inside.

You don't see it immediately,

But it looks complete.

I think the t-shirt's

Fabulous.

The silhouette is very classic,

Very well-tailored.

Jackie kennedy would have worn

That skirt with little flat

Shoes and a black turtleneck.

And it definitely does not look

Cheap.

The mix was very clever.

And it's fun, yet it's still

Elegant and chic.

For a modern take on it, it's

Really--really well done.

And I think you look great

Together.

Oh.

Thank you.

Ivy, tell us about your look.

When I think of

Jacqueline kennedy, I think

Classic, timeless elegance.

And I got inspired by triangles

And squares because I feel like

Shapes are timeless.

So I played around with

Contrasting of fabrics and

Making sure that there was

Something original or with my

Signature on it.

Intrinsically, it's elegant.

It's got a sharpness.

Obviously, the styling is very

Jackie.

You know, with the glasses, with

The slick chignon.

Can you close the jacket for me?

I think there's something

Interesting also that it's

Tailored, but not in the

Traditional men's sense.

I kind of like that you continue

The idea of the architectural

Geometry.

And I like the neckline.

Thank you.

Should we have a look at it

Without the coat?

It is better without the coat.

I love it like that.

I love the tailoring of it,

And I love the seam--the

Asymmetrical seam along the

Torso.

I actually like that twisted

Tuxedo pant.

I think it's very chic.

Thank you.

Andy.

I associate

Jacqueline kennedy with an ease

And a chicness about her.

She wasn't afraid to have her

Own style.

The main piece of my look

Obviously are these pants,

Which are draped, and they have

These big pockets on the side,

And I just felt that they were

Just a great statement piece.

I have to tell you with this

Look, I have a very hard time

Keeping it together.

Because I want to, like, burst

Out and crack up.

Especially for this challenge,

To come up with this?

It's like, I feel like I'm on a

Different planet.

Wow.

I mean, can you imagine

Jackie kennedy in these pants

With this ill-fitting top for

Underneath and then this funny

Bolero over it?

I don't see it at all.

I don't see american sportswear

In that at all.

Well, that was one of my

Struggles too, was this idea of

American sportswear.

I don't necessarily consider

Myself an american sportswear

Designer.

So what are you, a grand

Couturier?

Did I miss something?

No.

I mean, come on.

If someone said to me, the

Inspiration was mc hammer meets,

You know,

The beverly hillbillies'
grandmother.

What that looks like.

The fit is horrific.

And then the ankle boot.

I mean, it's come on.

They look a little bit from

The 1800s, those boots.

Yeah, no, I mean, she's

Making soap or something.

I don't know what she's doing.

Okay, we've heard what you

Had to say.

We're gonna have a little chat.

And then I'll bring you back
out.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

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

When I look at valerie's, I
think there's no tailoring, no

Imagination, nothing special,

No design.

It's incredibly boring and blah.

I just have a problem with

That black lycra skirt.

Ugly burgundy whatever that is.

None of the three pieces looked

Special.

It's just too boring.

Let's talk about andy.

I cannot see jackie kennedy in

This entire look.

I mean, not on this planet.

I think these pants didn't fit.

I'm just seeing ill-fitting and

Ill-appropriate.

And when you look at andy, how

He styled the model, why is she

Wearing, like, nicole kidman's

Boots from cold mountain?

And her hair from
far and away.

And she's got the far and away
hair.

Maybe it's a nicole
kidman challenge.

Because I do not know what it
is.

Let's talk about

Michael drummond.

Talk about, like, just, like,

Oh, sign me up.

I want something that's gonna

Look like my waist fell, where

My hips are growing.

The proportion of the skirt,

The belt, the tops were

Ill-fitting.

It's just--he really put it

Together terribly.

I would take the belt off.

And the jacket.

Or wear the jacket with

Something else.

It's just, you know, I mean,

It's terribly unflattering the

Way he showed it.

That was also poor and sad.

Yes.

He just overthought it.

Yeah, exactly.

Everything.

Let's talk about the

Designers that we did like.

Christopher.

The dress is an elegant

Dress.

It's sexy without being vulgar.

Yeah, it fit her well.

It looked expensive.

I think he was clever in

Picking that silhouette because

It was very classic, but that

Shrug just k*lled it.

That shrug was horrible.

The dress is wearable,
though.

You'd wear that dress.

Yeah.

Well, I liked this.
I liked the dress.

But, yeah, I thought it fit her
well.

I thought it was tailored.
I thought it was a perfect

Silhouette for jackie
sportswear.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We also liked mondo's.

He was the one that said he

Had a picture of jackie in his

Apartment, right?

All: yeah.

Well, it helped him.

He was able to capture just

That--that allure that she had.

It was that clean, it was a

Classic...

The silhouette.

Yes. That silhouette.

It's funny that how he

Managed to have these bold

Colors and these big patterns,

That he actually managed for it

To still look chic.

Let's talk about ivy's.

It was sleek, and it was

Elegant.

But then why are they all

Designing so old?

Well, I mean, you know what,

I don't necessarily agree with

You totally on ivy.

When you looked at the

Proportions of that top, I

Thought the neckline was great.

Um, I love that the collar kind

Of flipped up asymmetrically.

Yeah, and to be honest with

You, this is the most polished

Look and probably the best one

That I have seen from her out

On the runway.

So we've made our decision?

Okay, let's bring them back out.

The six of you have the
highest

And the lowest scores.

One of you will be named the

Winner, and one of you will be

Out.

One of you will be named
the winner.

And one of you will be out.

Mondo...

You are the clear winner of this

Challenge.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

You gave us a strong and

Well-made interpretation of

American sportswear.

It was clean, classic, but still

Contemporary and bold.

Congratulations.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you. Thank you.

Good job.

I'm so excited that I won

This one.

I've been waiting so long.

I feel like I've been so close,

And finally I won.

Oh!

I won.

You won?

Yes. Finally.

It's just really amazing.

I'm really glad that I got the

Recognition that I feel like I

Deserve.

And, you know what, I couldn't

Be happier.

Christopher.

Yes.

You're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Ivy, you're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Andy, you're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Michael...

Valerie...

One of you will be out.

Valerie, you missed the mark in

The big way.

Your look did not read chic

Sportswear.

Instead, it was boring,

Inexpensive, badly-ex*cuted

Mall wear.

Michael...

Your look was an unfortunate

Mismatch.

And your proportions were way

Off.

The top was ill-fitting.

And the bottom was bulky and

Unflattering.

And no woman wants that

Silhouette.

Valerie...

You're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you very much.

[Sighs] michael, I'm
sorry.

That means you're out.

Auf wiederesehen.

Being here on project runway

Has been kind-a an
eye opening experience.

Do not be sad.

I'm not kidding.

I'm not that depressed.

I'm mostly bummed out that I'm

Honestly going to be missing you

And you, and that's truly the

Case.

I'm really bummed out about
that.

Hi, tim.

I'm okay with not taking your

Advice.

Don't be upset.

I am going to invoke that

Damn skirt.

Anyway, I'm very proud of you

All.

And we are going to come out of

This, except for you.

I will be fine.

I'm coming out of this.

I had close to maybe the time of
my life.

It was certainly an adventure.

Thanks for your thoughts.

And we're gonna miss you.

Well, good, I'm glad.

One more little bubble of
laughter's going away.

Again, thank you, and thank
you--i liked what you said, but

I just really felt like, at the

End of the day, I needed to do
what I wanted.

You did. You stood by it.

And it was your waterloo.

And i, like, have to go look

That up now.

[Laughter]

Bye, you guys.

Bye, michael.

Thank you for the experience.

Love you too. Bye.

This is an incredible
experience that I think

Thousands of designers would

Just die to have, so I did

Exactly what I needed to do for

This last competition, and I

Don't feel bad about what I've

Created.

I'm very lucky.

I mean, I had a good time, and

I have no regrets.

Next time on

Project runway...

Will receive something

Unprecedented.

What?

That's a lot of pressure.
Listen to me.

Listen to me. Listen to me.

You can't forfeit.

I just lost a day and a half.

[Weeps]

Val?

Designers, can I have your

Attention, please?

Oh, my god.

Even I'm shaking over this.

I'm basically [bleep].

I think it's a very, very

Glamorous and original design.

You have to choose either

Boobs or legs.

This was tragic.

Wow.
