Helen, you are the winner of

You also have immunity for the

Next challenge, and you cannot

Be eliminated.

Thank you.

Bradon, you're in.

Miranda, you're out.

It's okay.

Fashion fans everywhere...

Your favorite fashion show...

Is back on the runway...

Where the best talent is

Crowned...

And cut.

You want style?

You want talent?

You want drama?

You got it!

At the refinery hotel, in a

Referee's outfit.

What is going on?

Good morning!

[Laughs]

They look so cute.

We're in the middle of an

Obstacle course, with tim and

Heidi wearing activewear.

What the hell?

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.

Oh, my god!

Tim, do you mind helping to

Referee this?

Heidi, I dressed for you, to

Referee.

I love it!

[Laughs]

Well, gone are the days when

Everyone works out in baggy

Sweats and a ratty t-shirt.

Good.

Performance wear is a

Multibillion-dollar industry,

So it's a huge part of the

Fashion marketplace.

I want you to create

Performance wear that is

Fashionable.

I want to bring the runway to

The treadmill.

I love that.

And, designers, there's a very

Exciting payoff for this

Challenge.

The winning look will be

Manufactured and sold as part of

My collection at select

New balance stores and at

Newbalance.com.

May I say one other thing,

Though?

Your teams are only for the

Purpose of this obstacle course.

Your teams will end when this is

Over, okay?

Yes, we will draw names from

The button bag to determine the

Teams.

Okay, the first team is justin

And dom.

The next team is jeremy and

Alexander.

Right next to you.

Oh!

Helen and bradon.

Work it!

Next team, alexandria and

Kate.

Yay!

So, karen and ken, you're the

Last team.

Ken looks miserable.

It looks like I'm the last

Person he wants to be paired

With.

Awesome.

Okay, designers, off to the

Starting line.

Whoo!

On your mark, get set...

[Whistle blows]

Oh, [bleep].

One, two, one, two, one, two.

Yeah.

Okay.

There we go, there we go.

We're doing good.

We're doing good, okay.

I'm sprinting.

We're in the lead.

If we find the flag, we could

Win this thing.

You forgot the wheelbarrow!

Guys! Bradon!

You forgot the wheelbarrow!

Wheelbarrow!

We were supposed to do the

Wheelbarrow to the pool, so

Helen and I have to run back.

So much for the lead.

Okay, let's go! Okay!

Keep on going!

Keep on going!

Little orange...

Do you see it?

No!

Where could this be?

Ooh! Got it!

Yay!

Dom and justin!

Although I haven't won a

Challenge yet, I did win the

Athletic challenge, so I'm gonna

Have that be a little victory of

My own.

Got it!

Dom and justin, the two of

You are the winners for this

Race, which means you get to

Choose your fabric first, and

You get an extra hour to sew.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

And, helen, you won the last

Challenge, and you have immunity

For this challenge, but there is

No more immunity.

So you got the last one.

You got the last one.

Whew!

Having immunity going into this

Challenge, I feel like a million

Bucks.

Immunity or not, I'm trying to

Win this challenge again.

Well, I'm very excited to see

What you come up with.

Good luck, and I'll see you in a

Little bit in the workroom.

Heidi's gonna join me on the

Workroom rounds.

Oh, yay!

That's awesome.

Pisses me off, so I called my

Mom, and my mom called my first

Hey, baby, what's up?

She's my spiritual mother.

You can't give up now.

Do you hear me?

Yes, ma'am.

Ken, you were born for this.



Talking about doing this.

You wanted a sewing machine for

Your birthday.

So we don't let nothing cut our

Dreams off like this, mm-mm.

I started designing clothing

When I was about ten years old.

My biggest struggle was when

I didn't have anywhere to stay,

So I lived in my car probably
two months.

You're not quitting, right?

No, ma'am.

You never should judge a person,

Because you don't actually know

What they're going through, for
certain situations.

Love you.

All right, love you guys too.

I need to get back and finish
working.

Okay, babe, I love you.

Talk to you later.

That struggle has made me a

Very, very independent person.

Can we talk for a minute?

proud.

Why are you so upset?

I'm just so frustrated.

Everything that's been happening

I've been frustrated with

This process is overwhelming.

As soon as you come out of one

Challenge, bam, you're right

Back into another one, and it's

A lot of pressure.

Didn't believe that you've got

The stuff, not just to sustain

This but to win.

Can I speak to you?

I've been frustrated all day.

I know.

And I like you.

And I flipped out on you for no

Reason, honestly.

Okay, no worries.

And I just needed to

Apologize.

Can I have a hug?

You can have a hug as long as

You put that down first.

Oh, shut up.

Just, it's not that crazy, I

Swear.

I know. I'm better now.

Good.

Okay.

I feel like a proud dad.

I just feel like the thought

Of winning project runway is

More important than some stupid,

Petty drama.

New balance challenge, and we're

Going to be designing a look for

Her current collection.

Hello, designers.

So I get nervous enough for

Critiques...

We're making the rounds

Hello, guys.

Hi, kate.

This challenge really reminds

Me of my little brother, who's a

Motocross racer.

Oh.

So that's kind of where I'm

Pulling my inspiration from for

This performance wear look.

So I like the idea of having

This be a cropped pullover.

Why not?

Okay, I'll try to do it.

I can't promise--

I also--i like it long also.

I was just gonna say, it's--

You know?

It's rather unique in this

Workroom right now, for having a

Little more volume and a little

More...

Yeah.

Length.

Hi.

So let's see what you've

Been working on.

Okay, I decided to do just,

Like, a really fun, little

Workout tee.

I'm gonna do a gather on the bum

Too, 'cause I think it makes

Your butt look cuter.

So my third piece was going

To be a mesh little jacket.

I think you should hurry up

And make this jacket.

Yeah.

'Cause which piece is the

Wow piece?

Right, it's gonna be the

Jacket.

It's not the pant.

Awesome. I want it.

I'm gonna make it.

She's got it, good.

She has it. Thank you, helen.

Okay, thank you.

Hi, justin.

How are you?

So what have you been

Working on?

Uh...many things.

On the form, I was originally

Going to have the "v," and then

The strap goes down here.

But I didn't want to make it

Too sexy.

I mean, you don't want boobs

All over the place.

But you also don't want the "v"

This high up, that it's like one

Squished pancake-type thing.

Yeah, very suffocating.

Yeah, I don't want that.

She looks amazing.

She looks like a fashion-forward

Girl who lives an active

Lifestyle, which is heidi klum's

Client.

She feels sporty, and just the

Look altogether, I'm really

Proud of it.

This look represents me as a

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.

It's good to have a point of

View, but it's not my strongest

Point.

I am happy with how the top

Looks.

It's okay.

Like, it's not the end of the

World.

Right.

I like the way those pants

Hang.

Thanks.

Good pants, actually.

I definitely wish that I had

Designed something different

Initially.

For my first attempt at

Activewear, I think I did a

Pretty good job.

I think the colors are

Interesting.

The blocking is interesting.

Boxing class.

Yeah, she's strong.

The purple looks great.

I feel pretty good about it.

I wanted to create two pieces

That could be layered with

Different items.

I did this motocross-type pant

And then this loose pullover

That has, like, a cowl neck and

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.

As part of my new balance

Collection, in stores and
online.

Congratulations.

Thank you so much.

You're in.

You can leave the runway.

I was not anticipating

Winning this challenge.

I'm just really excited for this

Win because it means a lot to me

Personally because I put a lot

Of myself into it.

So?

I won.

All: yay!

Awesome sauce.

Your jacket knocked them out.

Yeah.

Well done, sweetie.

That, like, blew everything

Else out of the water.

Congrats.

These past two wins are

Really giving me a good spot

With the judges.

I feel really good about my

Karen...

You're out.

Okay.

Ken, that means you're in.

You can leave the runway.

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.
