Welcome, designers.
I want to apologize again for
Getting you up so early.
Well, you have been sewing
And sewing and sewing in that
Workroom, and I think that you
Need to get your blood flowing a
Little bit, so today, we're
Going to have a little field
Day.
And I see that you all got your
New balance attire.
Yeah!
You're all looking very
Sporty.
So, designers, as you can
See, there are five identical
Obstacle courses here.
Each course has four stations.
You will be working in five
Teams of two, and the four
Activities that you will be
Competing in together are the
Following: the three-legged
Race, the tire run, the
Wheelbarrow race, and the flag
Grab.
And the team that finishes
The obstacle course first gets a
Very valuable prize.
You will get to choose your
Fabric first, and you will get
One extra hour of work time.
Absolutely.

Everyone works out in baggy

Challenge.
The winning look will be

Your teams are only for the
Purpose of this obstacle course.
Your teams will end when this is

Look altogether, I'm really
Proud of it.

Designer because of the way that
I used the colors and did a lot
Of very intricate, creative
Seaming in the pattern work.
It really looks battery powered.
That green color is popping and
Glowing like I never thought it
Could.
In the critique with heidi,
She liked where I was going, and
She understood the girl that I
Was designing for.
I'm offering a new perspective,
And she looks strong.
I know I'm taking a risk on this
Garment, but that's what fashion
Is.
I'm in complete awe.
The pop of color on the
Leggings, it's just right.
Although it does border fashion
And function, it is a really
Cool look that heidi doesn't
Have in her collection now.
It's gonna be a winner.
She's obviously running in
Brooklyn.
I am so excited.
The colors are hitting exactly
Where I want them to.
It's just a really great, sporty
Look.
I'm thinking that I might be in
The top because it has pieces
That heidi doesn't have in her
Line already, and I think it
Would definitely be a good
Addition.
I am feeling very confident.
I don't do athletic wear, but I
Was happy with the architecture
That went behind it.
The only concern I have with
The garment is, there is a
Little bit too much cheek for
Me.
But otherwise, I was happy with
It.
Overall, I think my garment
Looks good, walking down the
Runway, but my model looks as if
She don't want to wear it.
It's a lot of pressure on this
Challenge because this goes to
Heidi's line, and if she don't
Like it, I guarantee, I am going
To be in the bottom.
No one wants a black pair of
Pants because every woman's got
About 15 pairs in her wardrobe
Already.
That's why I made my pants out
Of that shockingly disgusting
Purple.
Athletic wear is challenging.
It's interesting.

View, but it's not my strongest
Point.

Then a little pop of the red
Color from your collection.
I like what you did, kate.
Thank you.
You used the right amount of
Color here and there.
I like the fabric, the way you
Used it together, that it has
The mesh going all the way down
The arm.
I think it incorporates
Fashion and function.
I could take this outside of the
Gym.
Kate, you're great.
It looks so polished.
You're thinking about function.
And, as nina said, you can also
Go grocery shopping afterwards.
There's something familiar
About it, which will make it
Commercial, but then I think
There's something special about
It that'll actually make someone
Want it, so I think it's a job
Well done.
Thank you.
Alexander, tell us about your
Look.
Well, this is my first
Venture in athletic wear.
I wanted to keep the silhouette
Simple and clean.
I just basically color-blocked
It, keeping the lines from your
I just kept it a simple
Razor-back top and a little
Zippy sweater.
I like the color blocking.
I also noticed that when you zip
Up the jacket, is it asymmetric
On the top?
Yes, it is asymmetrical.
I can totally see a lot of
Hip women wanting to wear this.
Thank you very much.
Alexander, it looks so
Professional, and I think you
Highlighted the black area in
The right places.
I would not have done that
Color blocking in that spot.
I think that cutting her all the
Way up here in the gray makes
Her look wider, and I think that
The pant is so high-waisted that
It makes her butt look long.
You didn't get high points from
Me.
Okay. I can tell.
But I like the--yeah.
But I like your jacket.
Thanks.
I don't think that it's
Memorable in a bad way or
Memorable in a great way either.
Kind of looks like something
You would see on the sale rack
In an active department.
Ouch.
It's in a store, though.
That's true.
It might be on sale, but it
Is in a store.
It got there.
[Laughs] that's true.
It's just gotta go in the bag
And go home...
Yeah.
At full price.
Definitely.
Thank you, alexander.
Thank you.
Ken, tell us about your look.
Well, I scratched my first
Look that I was working on when
You came into the workroom.
I kept it black on the inside of
The leggings and the front and
The back to kind of camouflage
Sweat areas, and I wanted
Something long to avoid camel
Toe.
And in the back, I kind of wove
These straps together just to
Add a little something to the
Outfit.
There is something about the
Proportion, where you've cut
This top, that is very awkward,
And she looks like she's wearing
Either a scuba suit or a girdle.
It's too low.
I did mention scuba suit once
When we were in the workroom,
And I said, when it is too long,
The top, be careful that it
Doesn't look like a dress over
Leggings.
Unfortunately, I think you're
On the rack with his look.
It would be in the store, and it
Would probably be on the
Markdown rack.
You thought about the function,
And you lost the fashion, and it
Seems to me the challenge here
Today is, how do you blend the
Two?
Thank you, ken.
Thank you.
Alexandria, tell us about
Your look.
I just made a pant that you
Could run in, do yoga in, and
Then matched it with a jacket.
And if you see the back,
There's, like, a vent in the
Back.
So I used the mesh in the top
Part, so if you're sweating,
You can air out.
And then, played off the
Boyfriend tee using the four
Stripes from the new balance,
Tsh-tsh-tsh, slicing it and
Giving you a little air flow.
Well, I don't understand how
She can do yoga in those pants
Or run in the pants.
Squat. Stretch.
Are you gonna make her do a
Split?
[Laughs]
Alexandria, these pants are
Absolutely impossible to ride a
Bike, to run, to do yoga.
There's nothing dynamic about
Them.
They're relaxing.
And the t-shirt, I've seen it,
And it feels like she went
Running, and she ran into a
Bear, and she had an accident in
Her pants.
It's just...so bad!
Well, if you want guys to
Leave you alone in the gym, wear
That look.
No one's talking to you.
I mean, 'cause, first off, you
Can't move.
Second off, you pooped in your
Pants.
And the pockets--put your hands
In the pockets.
Pleasure-me pockets, they're--
A little creepy, where they
Are.
They're creepy.
'Cause no one will talk to--
[Laughter]
It's a very weird place for a
Pocket.
I gave you a high score.
I'm probably one of the very few
Women that love the poopy pants.
I like this very unusual and
Weird kind of silhouette.
I do.
But there's three more people on
This panel that didn't like them
Very much.
Thank you, alexandria.
Karen, tell us about your look.
This was also my first foray
Into activewear and into
Knitwear, and I felt like I
Wanted something that could go
From the yoga class to elsewhere
In the gym, so I created these
Pants, and I wanted to create a
Top that was long-sleeved but,
You know, still a pullover but a
Little bit looser to give the
Girl, like, layering.
Her activity looks like she's
Going to a buffet on a cruise.
I mean, she could put cookies in
Her pockets.
I know.
God, it is sad.
You could have done something
Interesting with the sweatshirt,
Something.
Well, I think, in concept,
The top could have worked
Transitionally into fashion.
With the slouchy pants and with
The wobbly sewing, it sort of
Came out like a neon nothing.
Yeah.
I personally wear easy,
Loose tops like that, but I
Think when you do a loose pant,
It has to have a tight top, or
When you have a loose top, then
Maybe a tight bottom, because if
Everything is loose, then you
Don't see the body at all.
Helen, tell us about your look.
I just did this awesome
Little jacket and this
Muscle tee underneath with a
Kangaroo pocket in the pop
Color.
She could pop her keys or her
Cell phone in there.
And then, I just added a hood
And put these fun little pop
Inserts on the sides.
So that's my look.
A jacket that covers the a*s
And the thighs, I love.
Okay.
I love the proportion of it.
If I were going away on a
Business trip and I needed my
Workout clothes, this is
Something I could pack or wear
On the plane.
It's versatile.
Listen, I love a cool hybrid,
And this is kind of like
Stevie nicks active.
Cool.
A teenager would wear it.
A woman in her 60s would want
It.
It kind of crosses all that.
So bravo on the jacket.
Thank you.
I love the jacket.
I thought it was like elvira at
The gym.
I can totally get into that.
I'm so happy that you found
The time to make this jacket,
Because, as you can see now,
This is your star.
This is your hero here.
Cha-ching.
Girls would like that.
Whew! Thank you.
Okay, we've heard what you
Had to say.
We're going to take a closer
Look at the clothes, and I'll
Call you back in a little bit.
Now you can leave the runway.
All right, tim is bringing out
The models, so we can take a
Closer look at the garments.
Hi, tim.
Hello, models.
Hi, heidi.
You should have seen tim
Yesterday.
He was wearing a referee outfit.
[Laughs]
Hot shorts.
I could see his legs.
Well, the shorts were hot.
I wasn't.
You were pretty hot.
[Laughs]
So where would you like to
Begin?
Let's start with the ones
That we didn't like today.
All right.
Roberta, you want to come up?
All right. Karen.
Ooh, actually, when you see this
Close-up, it's much worse.
It's worse up close.
She obviously did not have a
Lot of experience sewing knits.
Nothing sexy.
No.
Nothing dynamic.
You see it also up close,
The fit of the crotch here.
There's nothing that says
Movement, speed, agility,
Strength.
The one thing up close that is
Helping, I like the mesh sleeve.
I still hate the silhouette.
I still think it's a fat chick
Getting a cookie.
Mm-hmm.
Alexandria.
Oh, my goodness.
I don't really want to touch
It.
I think a certain girl would
Wear that, you know?
Not many, but--
Oh, no, don't do the
Pleasure-me pockets.
Don't.
[Laughs]
'Cause they are really so
Bizarre.
Can I see the t-shirt?
So now what did she do, tim?
She--
Slashed it.
I did like that too, because
In the logo, it kind of does
Look like a slash.
See, I would wear those kind of
Pants.
Oh, heidi, no!
Sorry.
You know what's great,
Though, if you wear those pants?
Not only will men leave you
Alone, the paparazzi will leave
You alone.
What's a poor designer to do
When the host of the show says,
"I love these pants"?
Well, she showed them to me
In her sketch, and I liked them.
I just wanted something
Different, and so I said to her,
"Go for it."
Yeah, "go for it."
Let's talk about ken.
Once he pointed this out, here
In the back, I thought that was
Actually really pretty.
[Growls]
You're growling.
Mm-hmm, yeah.
Up close, it just lost its--
With that many straps plus a
Bra strap, it looks like she's
Got the biggest boobs in history
And she's wearing seven bras.
I'm bored of harnesses.
To create, like, a--
This is so--
That's terrible.
That--
That's terrible.
[Laughs]
No matter how you slice it.
And where is the fashion
Element here?
There is none.
There is no fashion here, and
The proportions are way off,
Way.
There's no fashion here.
It's a top and a pair of
Leggings.
Come on, guys.
Let's talk about the designs
That we did like.
Molly, you want to come
Forward?
Helen.
Cool.
That jacket's great.
Yeah. Fabulous, this jacket.
It's even better up close.
Yep.
Yeah, I mean, fabulous.
It's great.
I love the lightness of it.
The lightness is great.
Me too. It looks easy.
I bet you this is gonna be price
Effective.
Yeah, I agree.
It's smart, it's chic.
This is cool.
I'll buy one.
I'll send you one.
This is very cool.
All right.
Look how cool that is.
Yeah.
Love, love.
I would take this to the gym in
A minute.
Let's talk about kate.
This also is very nice.
Yeah.
Here we have ambitious with
Design and ambitious with the
Sewing.
I mean, look how nicely this
Is made.
It is.
In that short amount of time.
Well, guys, also, up close,
Which I didn't notice, I love
That there's the light gray
Piping...
Mm-hmm.
Down by the red.
And thought about where it hits
Your leg.
Kate is constantly looking
Critically and objectively at
Her work and recalibrating what
She can do, and I really applaud
What she's done here.
Me as well.
It's excellent.
Moving on to alexander.
The coolest thing up close,
When I look at it design-wise,
Is the asymmetry on the little
Jacket.
Yes.
So that gives it a little
Style.
The only good thing about the
Pant is that he draped it
Without the side seam, which is
Correct.
Yes.
They're draped really well.
Yeah, they're draped really
Well.
The top--i'm not that wowed by
The top of this.
If you're gonna do such strong
Graphic play, it has to be
Perfect, as perfect as the
Pants.
What happens with the top?
Let me see.
Let's have a look again.
I actually like this look.
I mean, he was in the high score
Today, so--
And I want to add, on
Alexander's behalf, he's a
Costume designer, and he has
Never done anything that's
Remotely related to activewear.
Yeah.
And I'm proud of him for
Having achieved this.
Me as well.
Yeah.
So the winning look will be
Between helen and kate.
The girls are gonna battle it
Out.
Thank you.
Thank you, heidi.
Thank you, judges.
Thank you, ladies.
Thank you, tim.

Personally because I put a lot
Of myself into it.
So?

All: yay!
Awesome sauce.
Your jacket knocked them out.

Thank you.
I'm very sorry, karen.
All the best to you.
Thanks.
Auf wiedersehen.
Thanks.
Thanks so much for this
opportunity.
I knew it was coming, and it's
Disappointing.
I think it's completely unfair.
I think ken should have gotten
Out, between the two of us.
Like, he's been in the bottom
Basically every challenge.
Hey.
Hey.
Batts.
Pfft.
Sucks.
What did they tell you?
They just said that it was,
You know, not well made and that
It didn't have any sex appeal to
It, so...
You know what I regret,
Karen?
I regret that you weren't on
Your game this challenge.
I'd much rather have you go home
With something that was you and
Fabulous.
I know. I agree.
You know?
It's okay.
So I have to send you to the
Workroom to clean up your space,
Okay?
Okay. Bye.
Bye, lovers.
Bye.
It's not the way the cookie
Crumbles, and that's fine, it's
Life, and you know what?
I'm gonna move on and do great
Things and, you know, [bleep]
That noise.
Next time on
Project runway...
I have to design for a type
Of woman that I normally don't
Design for.
Oh, my god, I'm gonna chop my
Finger off.
Helen's gown is like the '60s
Threw up.
It's hideous.
Do you think I'll go home for
This?
I hate the color.
It's very unflattering.
Nothing could have saved
This.
I don't think they really
Understood the challenge.
I think I have an idea.
For the first time in
Project runway history,
I'm gonna send you back to the
Workroom.
Go, go, go.
Oh, my god.
We are panicking.
It can be anyone going home.
Make sure the iron's on.
Insane.
Time is up.
