Hey, everyone.
It's season 11.
This is my favorite season
Ever.
This one has a little twist.
I'll say.
[Laughs]
As always, we have a whole group
Of new designers ready to
Compete.
But none of these talented
Designers really know what we
Have in store for them.
Now, this is what I call a
Real twist.
Teams.
Teams.
Yes, you heard us right.
Teams.
[Laughs]
This season, every challenge
Is a team challenge.
But there will only be one
Winner.
Every successful designer
Works as part of a team.
This season is what fashion
Is really about.
Everyone has to work together
And collaborate...
Communicate...
Work it out.
It's just like the real
World, and this is exactly why
This is my favorite season.
Mm-hmm.
Welcome back to project runway,
season 11.
It's all about teamwork.
This is project runway.
My name is layana aguilar.
I'm 28, and I'm originally
From brazil, but I've been in
New york for three years.
I couldn't sleep last night,
Having dreams about garments
That I'm gonna make, and I'm
Freaking out.
Oh my god, this is real.
My name is richard
hallmarq,
And I'm from sacramento, the
Other fashion capital.
[Laughs]
What's your name?
Layana.
Nice to meet you.
Nice meeting you.
I'm richard.
Hey.
Hello.
This moment is definitely a
Dream come true.
Oh, my god, you guys, we're
Here.
[Laughs]
I'm really a type "a"
Personality.
So, as a preference, I'm a lone
Wolf.
But as a bridal designer, I have
My own company, so I have to
Delegate.
If I had my way, I'd just clone
Myself, and I would do
Everything.
Sorry to interrupt.
It's okay.
This is kind of crazy.
Michelle lesniak franklin,
It's a lot bigger than I thought
It would be.
My point of view as a designer
Is what I like to call "geek
Chic," a very vivacious,
Confident woman that could
Recite the periodic table of the
Elements.
[Laughs]
This is my first time
here in
New york city, and this is
Crazy.
I'm really excited to be here.
Hello.
My name's daniel esquivel.
I'm 48 years old, and I'm from

In london.
My husband and I own
A funeral home.
I'm a funeral director.
Oh, how cool.
After 23 years of running a
Funeral home with my husband,
I was really feeling a creative
Void in my life, so I enrolled
In design school, and
I graduated this year.
I would never guess that.
You're so cheery.
Oh, I'm cheery? Oh!
It's a cheery business, in a
Way.

Well, I guess we should let
Our designers in on our little
Twist.
[Cheers and applause]
Hi, there.
All: hi.
Welcome to season 11 of
Project runway.
Well, we're thrilled to have
You here, and we want to welcome
You to parsons the new school
For design.
And also, congratulations,
Because thousands of people
Wanted to be in your shoes, and
You were chosen.
There are 16 of you here now,
But at the end, there will only
Be one winner.
You're going to be competing
In challenges to prove to the
Judges that you have the talent
And the distinct point of view
To be the next great american
Fashion designer.
Tonight you will move into
Your apartments,
Project runway's original
new york home
At the atlas, gotham's luxury
apartment
Building in manhattan's fashion
District.
But this season, there's a
Little twist.
Okay.
Okay.
This season is
Project runway... Teams.
Ooh.
Lord have mercy.
Not that I'm not a team
Player, I just like to be on my
Own team.
Every challenge will be a
Team challenge.
You guys like working in teams?
Yeah.
It can be done.
Really?
Let's see about that.
[Chuckles]
I'm very excited about this,
Because the real world is about
Teams.
And especially in fashion, no
One works alone.
And as we begin this season,
You're going to be divided into
Two teams of eight.
If I call your name, you will
Be sitting on the left.
If I don't call your name,
You're sitting on the right.
And these will be your teams.
Daniel, amanda, layana...
Richard...
Patricia, joe...
Stanley, kate.
The rest of you have a seat at
The right side of the room.
Thank you.
Now that you're in your
Teams, do you want to hear about
Your first challenge?
All: yes.
We don't play around here on
Project runway.
Your challenge is to create a
Garment that shows us who you
Are as a designer, with the
Input of your team to guide you.
We want you to have a good,
Comprehensive understanding of
The overall design aesthetic of
Each member of your team,
Because you're only as strong as
Your weakest link.
We still want to see who you
Are as an individual.
You know, you have to just do
That in a team setting.
There will be a winning design
Team and a losing design team,
And one member of the winning
Team will be the winner of this
Challenge, and one from the
Losing team will be out.
Your inspiration for this
Challenge is new york city,
But each team will have a
Different perspective.
The team over here will have a
Point of view from afar.
You will take a boat out to the
Hudson and look back on to the
City.
The team over here will have a
View from new york city from
Above.
You will go to the roof of the
Atlas, which has an amazing
Panoramic view.
[Laughs]
So I'm going to see all of
You in the morning.
And I have to say, I'll see
You back here on the runway.

I'm really favorably--i'll
Use the word--wowed.
Oh, thanks.
This is planned to be a short
Dress over a slim pant.
What do you all think?
Do you really need a pant?
I mean, so far, it's looking
Like a beautiful dress.
Yeah, I think so too.
And do you think it should be
Long?
It seems to me to make more
Sense when you see the full
Length of it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
See, this would look really
Good with a top and then doing
That with the black, right?
So we could say either the
Panel should be matted, or the
Whole top will be matted.
I do have a slight concern
That this might not be enough.
If it's very fitted on the
Bottom, think about perhaps more
Volume on the top.
Okay.
There's gonna be lots of
Strips of the chiffon.
I'm working with a few different
Colors to break it up.
This is good.
I gonna do a raglan sleeve.
It's gonna look like a building.
Emily?
Well, I'm making a really
Built-out, like, architectural
Jacket.
And then as far as the dress
Goes, I like black and blue
Together.
So I'm gonna panel them so that
It mimics the buildings.
Do you have too much
Happening?
Is there too much going on?
That's what I'm kind of
Struggling with right now.

What I did is, I created this
Really soft, textured, like,
Sweater dress, basically.

More sophisticated, though.
No sleeve.

Of the sleeve, I'll get rid of
It.

I work in my design aesthetics
Of hand-printing fabric--"

Cobalt blue.

Sorry.

Manipulated the leather.
To have the idea to do that,
I think, is genius.
I like that they look like
Little cityscapes.
But I think the--the time and
The effort of all the handwork,
I think, is why it's such
A great piece.
I think it was a good idea to
Keep the shape very simple,
Because otherwise, I think you
Would have missed on all that
Work that you've done.

I would've stuck with my gut
Feeling on the first, initial
Design that I did.
To me, the pleating on top
Looks a little chewed up.
The whole thing feels a little
Pedestrian.
There's nothing wrong with
Your outfit.
It is just not inspiring.
It doesn't say anything to me
About what you're about.
There were actually some
Great pieces that came down the
Runway from you guys.
Like, tu, for example, I really
Liked yours.
The black and white was really
Cool.
Loved it.
And, benjamin, we actually
Liked yours as well, where
There is really, like,
Something really that we hadn't
Seen before.
You know, when you make a pencil
Skirt, there is just not enough
There.
Thank you.
Emily, tell us about your look.
Okay.
Well, originally, there was
Going to be kind of a fitted
Dress that was gonna be out of
This fabric, and I just--
I think I realized I was
Drowning way too late in the
Game and just--i really ran out
Of time.
I don't know what went wrong
Here, but it looks like my
Eight-year-old daughter made it.
It looks like the sewing machine
Just ate it up.
Can I see the back?
For a second, in the sleeve and
In the shoulder, um, I'm kind of
Thinking that you have some type
Of sculptural innovation idea,
Which I kind of would've wanted
To see.
Can we see what this looks
Like when you take this thing
Off?
I mean, it's like a shredded
Piece of--
Yeah.
I have to say that, in
I have never seen such an
Unfinished garment walk down the
Runway.
And, team, could anybody have
Lent her some fabric?
Yes, and we helped her
Construct this.
I mean, as of this morning, she
Had nothing.
She really had good ideas,
And it's just--it's unfortunate
To see.
The design's there.
The sketches were amazing that
We saw.
I see what you and your team
Members see in what's happening
Right there.
I get it.
But I think it's really
Important to have your craft
Ready to go.
Obviously, taste, a design eye,
Craft, and a hand are what it's
Gonna take to win this
Competition.
So, you know, I think you have
To find at least something
Within that that you are strong
At and bring it.
I agree.
Thank you, emily.
Okay, cindy, you're next.
From the rooftop of the
Atlas, I saw a building that,
Um, had a checkerboard pattern
Painted on the side.
And when I saw this print at
Mood, it reminded me of the
Colors of the city.
It's all just kind of jumbled
And muted and running together.
Did anyone give you thumbs
Up, thumbs down, sideways?
This was planned to be kind
Of a long top over narrow, navy
Pants.
But the team thought that this
Print was so beautiful that
I should extend it and show more
Of the print.
Can you guys raise your hand
Who thought this print was so
Beautiful?
I actually thought it was
Really pretty.
Well, pretty compared to--it
Was gonna be a shirt that went
To her knee with pants.
And as a team, we felt like if
You're gonna do that, you might
As well use as a gown because
You can see the whole entire
Print.
It makes more sense for what
You're trying to do with that
Fabric.
To me, this dress is not
Attractive at all.
I love mixing patterns.
But they kind of gotta go
Together.
There is nothing new york
About this.
There's nothing urban about it.
I actually think maybe I'm
The only one that's a little bit
Excited that it is a gown,
Because I think with, like, a
Navy pant, then you would have
Had four different fabrications,
And it would've been even worse.
But I do think that it has,
You know, no kind of designer
Quality to it.
I want to know who you are as
A designer.
And this is confusing to me.
This is not me.
Well, this is the first
Challenge.
So I really--you know, I want
To see who you are as
A designer.
I don't think the construction
Is that interesting, and the
Prints are sort of jarring
Together.
It's hard for me.
Thank you, cindy.
The sad thing is, I gave your
Team a lot of high scores.
But the low ones really
Overpowered the highs.
Keep that in mind.
You have to look out for your
Team.
If you have one hole in
A boat, the whole boat sinks.
Okay, we've heard what you
Had to say.
We're gonna have a little chat.
You can leave the runway.
Thank you.
Before we start talking about
Specific designers, I just want
To talk about the team
Challenge, which I think is kind
Of great.
I mean, it's a little scary,
Because you're really dependent
On other people.
I like it, because it's
Another set of eyes that are
Going to be giving an opinion,
And hopefully, the bar gets
Raised.
They judge them before we get
To judge them.
They have to decide if
They're being truthful with
Their advice.
'Cause when it gets down,
Like, what if they're telling
Each other it's not so good
If it is good?
They're gonna be like, "this
Is great, what you're doing."
Wah-wah-wah.
[Laughs]
And as the competition goes
On, the good souls and good
Hearts will come through.
Okay, let's talk about the
Designers that we did like.
Keeping it real was the winning
Team.
I really like this team.
I liked how collaborative
They were with each other.
They loved each other.
Let's talk about patricia.
We don't really see that that
Much, that people actually go
And manipulate the fabric to
That extent.
She painted it.
She did an interesting overlay.
I think she brings an
Artistic element.
Absolutely, which I love.
Yes, we love.
I like that she has a strong
Female point of view.
We'll see where it goes.
Let's talk about daniel.
What he did in one day was
Pretty amazing.
Beautiful.
That shoulder, to do that
Shoulder is tough.
That jacket is interesting,
And it was beautifully done.
Let's talk about richard.
It's straightforward.
It's a jersey dress, and it
Worked.
And that's urban and new york.
You can dress it up.
You can dress it down.
You could wear it with your
Combat boots.
You can wear it with your
Ballerina flats.
You can wear it with high heels.
It's got a versatility to it.
It's kind of a no-brainer.
It looked effortless and
Easy, and I think that sometimes
Can be harder than creating
Something like daniel's, which
Is sculptural and tailored.
Sometimes the most effortless
Dress is the hardest to create.
Okay, let's talk about the
Dream team that wasn't so great.
Well, the team wasn't that
Bad.
It's just that there were some
Lower moments in the
Presentation.
Let's talk about james.
I mean, james really didn't do
A whole lot.
It was very mall.
It was like intern couture.
It was the shell.
The chewed-up shell.
The shell was bad.
Let's talk about cindy.
Am I wrong with, how is this
Inspired by new york?
The dress felt old and sad.
Yes.
It was not necessarily
The most tasteful.
Emily, really--i don't know.
[Chuckles]
Really, that was butt-ugly.
I mean, it really--
I agree.
I mean, wow.
It was a hot mess.
I mean, a shredded hot mess.
But I have to say, I thought
It was interesting when I asked
The designers if they thought
She had any potential.
That's what I was asking
Them.
They said yes.
And I saw what they were
Seeing, which was a fabric and
A storyboard.
And her team liked her, so...
Yeah.
Okay, so we've made our
Decision?
Mm-hmm.
Great.
Let's bring them back out.
