00:20This really is the most talented group of designers we've ever had it's gonna be the most difficult
00:26Competitive season yet. It's your time, baby. Nobody up here has taken home the grand prize
00:32So this is your shot at redemption
00:37Reinvent the look they got you eliminated
00:50Fashion designer Christian Siriano
00:52Journalist Elaine Welter off fashion designer Brandon Maxwell an editor-in-chief of Elle magazine
00:58Nina Garcia are looking for America's next great fashion designer at stake for the winner a quarter of a million dollars
01:06supplied by pilot friction erasable pens a
01:09Feature in Elle magazine and a career-changing mentorship with the Council of fashion designers of America
01:16This is project runway all-stars
01:23Well
01:27Designers next to you are looks. I'm sure you never wanted to see again. Yeah
01:32Leaving you guys asking the question. What would you have done differently if you had the chance?
01:38your challenge
01:41Reinvent the look they got you eliminated and turn it into a high fashion moment for the runways of today
01:48You don't have to use the same fabrics judges are gonna want to see the spirit of the look in your reinventions
01:56I left their model cards over here with sketchbooks. You'll have 30 minutes to sketch up here and designers
02:04There's a twist
02:08What just say it, okay, I'll see you at mood
02:18I
02:24Got the only other model I really wanted who has a buzz cut so you are in a world of trouble
02:28I'm sorry in future though. If you get a plus model you want to change. I love that
02:35But I also really want like an androgynous non-binary model
02:39Yeah, Wow, you know exactly what I wanted to do make a difference gonna go with the lace again. Oh god. No that
02:44Oh
02:46No, I'm taking this to a whole different direction that dress was a problem for me, you know
02:53I had to go to therapy after that. I
02:56Want to do some color-blocking the same original idea that I had before
03:01But to have the opportunity to recreate the dress with real fabric. It's a treat
03:06Looking at this thing. It's making me feel extremely
03:10Uneasy and it's reminded me of the feeling and the worriness I had during the time
03:17And at that moment, my biggest fear was my sister, especially with it only being a month and some change since my
03:24Sister pad, so I am just trying to not get in my head about how this design is triggering me at the moment
03:32How are you feeling have to meet like what?
03:35I'm a little
03:36Anxious about it. I
03:38Haven't done a lot of sewing in a long time. It's not muscle memory once you get to it. That's really I like that
03:56Everybody
03:58All right, guys. Well, we're here at mood the only thing that's been in all 20 seasons, right?
04:03besides Nina, you know
04:05All right, so you have $600 and
04:0845 minutes to shop you guys ready? Yeah. All right go
04:13Where's a basket?
04:16We've got your sneaks on you ready
04:19Hurry up. I know I know I where's the boning boning anyone? It's kind of cool, right?
04:24I'm doing 3d work on top of that gorgeous
04:27Fabulous
04:28For the look that we're using as our redemption Brandon absolutely hated
04:32I would have rather you just put it with a pair of jeans. He would have used that dress as
04:37campfire material I
04:39Think I'm going to make a dress that is teething has side cutout shows off my models curves
04:46Really kind of shows the judges who I've evolved to how you are
04:53You're already at fabric it's been five minutes
04:56It's been five minutes that dress hunt me for an entire year. You think I don't know what I need to fix it
05:00Okay, so I wasn't gonna do gray, but a pink print. Yes. I'm black. I'm black. I'm black
05:07Oh, I'm black. How's that black?
05:10The judges said that didn't see me in my design and I even lost my signature
05:16I'm keeping the original shape the powerful shoulder and also the hourglass body. I
05:23Want to find some beautiful floral print this one is $5.00 they are guys we have 15 minutes
05:36To end the thought process with my black and white challenge was the judges just kept saying I was too much
05:43The front is so elegant and it's like Jekyll and Hyde
05:46This challenge was about black and white and you only gave us half and I get kicked off
05:50So my inspiration to pull the spirit of my original black and white dress is a very full ruffled
05:57High-low skirt in white it's going to give me the structure and the volume to like really slay that runway
06:04How much does that goes are 40?
06:0640 she told me 35. This is silk get out of the style
06:11And if you're gonna go in this aisle, you better be the best seamstress I've ever seen and I bet you you're not
06:17I think Christian knows it's been a long time. But this is what I'm here for. I mean, I'm here to challenge myself and
06:25Reopen the book on what I used to do
06:29I'm planning to keep the spirit of my challenge alive and taking it to a place a little bit more wearable for some other
06:36occasion taking off the jacket
06:38Few minutes and you have to be in line bitch me
06:44One minute
06:47All right designers feeling good
06:50All right, guys, so you're gonna head to your workroom now and then later tonight
06:54You will check in the fabulous Hotel Indigo in Williamsburg
06:59I'm already exhausted. Goodbye
07:10Let's go, I'm gonna cut my fabric. I know what a tape measure. I have it. I have one. Hold on. Where's my oh
07:20My god nor has not changed in 18 years
07:28Always be a goofball, you know, but I'm still gonna get me done. This is the drapings what's gonna be it's every magic
07:36Yeah, I love that. Oh, oh, oh wait, hold on
07:40Hold on. I'm missing fabric. What are you missing the hard mesh? Are you serious? Yeah, you have it
07:47Yeah, I had it. It was the whole thing coming up. I'm missing a key fabric
07:51So I don't know if it's out or what maybe next time I also lost my calculator
07:57Okay, this competition is getting serious
08:07I'm missing a fabric. I have zero horsehair fabric
08:11That is the whole structure of my skirt and I am freaking out but you have it you have it
08:16You have it. Yeah, I had it. It was the whole thing. Thank you, baby
08:20I'm right. I
08:23Go look
08:25How long have you been draping for so I actually got really into draping because of you don't like on your season
08:31I was like, oh, I never draped before I came on the show that
08:34humbles me
08:36people are watching I
08:40Know exactly what I'm doing with the pants. I'm gonna drape those
08:44Okay
08:45It's so hard to be proud of something that you made and then you can actually look at it today and be like
08:52Oh my god, I was so far off some of her coats a full flop a grandma house coat
08:58She should have Kleenex in her pocket. It just hangs. It's so sad. I have no tailoring to it and I agree
09:05What's coming to me right now is a ponti mitte dress long with silhouettes at the side
09:10Overlaid sleeves so they look like they're part of the design and then really really wide pants
09:15I
09:18Saw my outfit come out literally I wanted to hide I don't want to say it's ugly, but I learned my lesson
09:25So I'm just gonna remake this look how it should have been with what I'm known for my leather jackets
09:32It would have the same opening in the back a little hoodie and the pants
09:35But everything will be built around the jacket
09:38So the jacket better be fly my design from the circus challenge from season 7 brings back some
09:45Memories that I don't really want to revisit. I
09:49Tried to dig deep but it was kind of costumey not really my style
09:54So this time around there needs to be also a little bit of an edge
09:58And so I'm gonna try to convey that this time
10:01I know this is a redemption but they want to see who we are and what we are about now
10:06And so I had something in my head. Do you know the name and it was literally like
10:12My mom and just this whole outfit mom was from Cape May, New Jersey. He lived at the beach
10:19She's always been my biggest inspiration
10:21Everything that I am and that I've done and life has come from my mom
10:27from Barbara
10:29Barbara by the sea. I know that this is really important to you
10:33If you want to change we can switch because I want it for you
10:39I'm serious
10:42You think you know how happy that do it
10:45Okay, do it. Thank you season one. Oh gee. Oh gee the originals. Yeah
10:53Guys, we got 10 minutes
10:57Everyone's talking about our shot to redeem our worst our worst look
11:02The original challenge was creating a look that embraces elegance
11:06So I decided to finally put my pasties on the runway and to be honest
11:10This is now a look that is currently quite in style
11:13I am trying to make something new and weird and really make people stop and think
11:18This time I want to elevate a skirt to my modern aesthetic add
11:23Draw strings so that someone can ruch or unruch their skirt and have little bows at the end. All right y'all times up
11:29Let's head to the hotel
11:36I
11:41Drew a long day of work. It is so nice to finally be in this hotel. Now. It starts to really feel real
11:47I'm missing like a key fabric. You know how they take your bag. Sometimes I put stuff in it
11:52So, I don't know if it fell out, you know, but I also lost my calculator
11:57Holy cow getting serious
12:02It's been real I'm going to bed
12:06Yeah
12:08Let's go
12:12Work time here we are look like Ralph Macchio Karate Kid over here
12:17Are you gonna be okay without that mesh?
12:20I don't know until I drape those ruffles, but I actually think it's gonna be better. Everything happens for a reason
12:26I don't know if my mama is up in heaven just being like no, honey
12:29You don't need that horsehair fabric
12:30But I'm actually thinking this is going to be a positive because when I'm draping this bizarre
12:36It is so beautiful flowing on its own
12:39This is my barber by the sea fabric. Oh, that's the fabric you brought. Yeah, this is what I brought and like with your hair
12:46You need to go buy that
12:49This challenge is about
12:51Reinvention of your original design. Hey guys two minutes before Christian. Do not go not
13:01Yeah, I just I just had a panic attack hi designers
13:06Guys it's our first walkthrough. Oh lord. How's it going? Good. Can't wait for feedback. All right, I'm coming to see you all
13:19Hi, how are you? How are you doing? You look great
13:23It's great. You know, we've been making
13:26After the pandemic the brand kind of went into like a little more of a swim
13:30Active wear and ready-to-wear
13:33Yeah, I think that would be really cool to show the judges like a new aesthetic because I think you were trying to find yourself
13:39A little bit and what you wanted to do and what I thought that I should do
13:42I loved a lot of elements of that. Yeah, the coat felt couture. I love the butterflies
13:48Finding a way to marry the two it's gonna be an advantage that I have I found this and I think it's absolutely beautiful
13:54Beautiful and then did you buy anything sporty or like any spandex at all or anything?
14:00Like this is what I did the Bando with. Mm-hmm. Well, I just I don't know if this looks cheap underneath
14:05You have no elements of you and what you do. Why are you making like a duchess satin skirt dress?
14:11What are you talking about? No, why isn't it sheer and flowy and gorgeous and she's in this amazing
14:17Workout or baiting suit or thing underneath and sexy and amazing because that was the difference you had something that was super covered up
14:24Not sexy very oversized and this is a more beautiful sexy gorgeous
14:31Showing off the body. That's the new you that's what you do. Okay?
14:39Harrison I'm coming to you. No, how are you?
14:43I'm sure you were just in shock that you're back here
14:46I hope it's like riding a bike like I'm a costume designer for the past 20 years. Oh my god
14:52So you have a team, you know what I'm saying? Of course, I haven't been sewing. I imagine I was like, can you sew anymore?
15:00Oh my god, but now this is what you're going with right? This is your fabric, but what's it gonna be?
15:06What are you gonna keep the thing that I'm not crazy about keeping is the pants?
15:11I mean I will say right now big tunic things over pants is a moment
15:16So I don't think you should throw it away. Think about it because maybe it's not a skinny taper pant
15:21Maybe it's a super cool wide pants, which could be super chic. Yeah, this is so funny. You guys you guys began at all
15:31Together yeah
15:34We saw each other it was just like have you that was from season one
15:38She has it and her teeth and I have the key to the apartment. What? Yeah, you kept this. Yeah, I kept my check
15:47Nora tell me everything what's happening. So I have an underdress that's in this stretchier fabrics not bridal II
15:54It's not white, but you're taking the petal element, right? Yeah, my idea is you can wear it anywhere
15:59Have you sewn any of the petal pieces yet? I need cuz this flower needs to be incredible
16:05So I think you should start cutting flowers our floor. Here we go
16:11Thank You Christian, you know this redemption moment. Yeah, I mean listen, baby
16:20All I remember from this challenge was Michael Corey saying like she looks like she has shark fins in her hips
16:25Even curvy girls. They don't want fins off their butt
16:28What I'm making now is something that my girl aware to a party. I'm thinking it'd be a jumpsuit
16:34So like the strapless look yeah with the texture like these are actually working pockets
16:38I think you should go the most extreme it can be the most baby
16:42But that's why I went here and I ended up right way can be
16:46incredible
16:48I
16:51I'm good. How are you?
16:54Hilarious they're bizarre during Project Runway season 4. I mean I lived with Christian
16:59We went through that whole journey together. We got to bond off of the stress of the competition
17:04You went full-on this color now. I wanted to go opposite of where I was
17:09That color was too subdued. Yeah, so I wanted to do a sexy backless dress that's draped off of the necklace
17:15Love it. I'm not gonna take risks that I'm thinking. Why should I even be here? We'll see how it goes
17:20I know I'm not expecting any nice to these trust me. I can't wait for my twist
17:34Can't wait for my twist
17:41This season there is no immunity
17:46Anybody can go home on any challenge wait, are you serious though now?
17:52The good news
17:54They're gonna be prizes and advantages for the winners of each challenge along the way
18:00Yeah, all right, so the winner of this challenge is gonna get
18:05$10,000
18:16All right, let's see what is going on please work oh my god
18:23Last time I sewed a gown was for my 30th birthday. So
18:28It's been a while
18:30Look at you giving spirit
18:33You know, I'm giving spirits and the soul and the Holy Ghost. Let me tell you that
18:39For my redemption. Look I want to get inspired by something that is tragic to me when I was
18:46I got attacked this guy on the street had a machete and he cut my boyfriend's hand and he cut my leg
18:54I couldn't walk for six months being not able to walk
18:58The only thing I could do is sew slowly and sketch a lot and get a lot of ideas
19:03And so the leg harnesses came about in that sense where I was thinking how can I put that into fashion?
19:11Hi everybody
19:13Christian are we feeling good? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah who wants a model?
19:21Let's get them in
19:26Easy to get in so if you don't mind holding that up for one second
19:29You probably won't see the top of the pan
19:31But just in case we do I might go a skosh higher
19:34Let me know if anything is like too tight or anything bitch me. Is this a pant? Yeah, cool. Thank you
19:40But what's the top it's gonna be a pink like corseted hoodie like I should be yeah, well the pants are fab
19:46I hope the jacket is as fabulous
19:50I'm realizing that I'm not inspired by this Redemption dress at all. It's literally triggering me making me feel
19:59uneasy at the moment
20:01Did you make a paddle? Oh, yeah, they're here. They're gonna be so awesome. Okay
20:09I'm gonna put this here
20:11So it's still gonna cover you. I love this so much. Can you just come over here? I just love it so much. Yeah
20:18Cuz right now it looks like you picked the fabric and stuck it on
20:22I could work on it more and like make it look more like I think you should try Nick
20:27Try to put your hand in your pocket project
20:29You love that pocket the pocket makes it young fresh and when she walks I do have a little problem. Oh
20:36What's the little fit problem in the back and her full booty is out extent
20:42But half her butt cheeks are out. It looks like a little diaper in the back. You got to fix that
20:46I am going to fix it, but I need to see what I need to fix though. Sheesh
20:50Do you love how this does this? I haven't pressed it yet. Once it's right, it's flat. Yeah, it will sit flat
20:57They're really cool. So it'll be cool to see them a little bit. You know, you see the shape the butt looks gray
21:02You know, I'm not gonna let this stump me. It just means that it can be pushed further
21:07I flip the top around. So what was once the back is now the front and the front is the back
21:13I am in love with this cover the whole thing like
21:18Butterflies, I think my family when they see this they're gonna
21:22Crazy. All right designers. That's it. That's time
21:26Take a bite of your model
21:30All right designers tomorrow's your first runway
21:44This ain't the gym guys
21:49Spend so much time trying to use the
21:52Dress as inspiration that I fell into like a rabbit hole
21:57Scents colors anything when you're grieving it triggers you
22:03This this was too soon this challenge
22:07Creative wise it's kind of blocking tomorrow make two months
22:11And I'm like I put in my mind that I would have to relive something
22:15I didn't know it was gonna be a guy that dress that garment
22:19My fear when I was making it of her like going away now me reliving it through a dress is very true
22:29I'm not here to quit
22:34Coming up you chose a fabric that easily puckers it feels to in your face. Was it a successful design?
22:41I don't think so. We know who needs to go home
22:49I think my emotions from there being two months tomorrow
22:53Sorry
22:54When we spoke you were doing this in honor of your sister you were doing this because she wanted you to do it
23:01Is there a way to focus on then turning that into a positive for her?
23:06Yeah, I apologize cuz I ain't trying to you don't have to apologize for a thing
23:12I'm gonna make something work. I know my sister is looking down and
23:19I need to utilize that and turn into strength. The only way I can do that is by fueling myself
23:25With positive vibes and remembering that I'm here for my sister
23:30I'm just gonna keep doing what I have to do and create something that we both will be extremely proud about
23:41All right guys, let's wrap it up let's go
23:49You guys y'all ready to get started for a runway show
23:55One of those days where you're just like am I gonna finish this happy runway day. I know happy runway day. Here we go
24:06Victor um
24:07Your model Ren hasn't showed up. So we have an alternate for you
24:13No, no, she's fantastic. She's very similar in size same hip same weight
24:17I need I need a air. She's fantastic. Trust me. What hair is
24:23Changing my whole thing. Huh? I'm wrong. Yes, Ren didn't show up. So my heart rate why we haven't been able to get in touch with her
24:32Ren didn't show up and I fitted this dress and the leg harness specifically for her body. So I'm panicking
24:41I'm in better spirits this morning
24:44Realize that I have to got myself and be okay with feeling my feelings and
24:49Continuing on there's no way for me to change my look. So I'm just trying to bang this thing out
24:56Hi everybody
24:59Christian hi Christian runway fabulous
25:04Oh
25:08Hi, are you with me?
25:10Hi, I'm Victor. Nice to meet you now. I have Jessica and she's definitely taller than Ren. How are you feeling nervous?
25:18I'm loving her look, but I'm just worried that it's not gonna fit. Oh
25:23I have to make another
25:25Adjustment. See I know you like a lot of jewelry
25:28But I don't know if she needs all of the jewelry
25:30Okay, you gotta take one thing off, please
25:35How's that feel? The dress is really pretty though. Thank you
25:40You have a new model. Yeah, she's stunning
25:43The only thing is my other model was shorter. So now I'm worried about this shorts are short
25:49Could you add a quick band on the bottom like a leather band? I'm gonna do elastic here. Yeah something
25:55I mean, I love it, but
25:58That's all so much booty
26:00All
26:03Right designers take your models to the makeup studio and the trust me hair salon. I can't wait to see these looks
26:13This I you want to be very dramatic so obviously I want like a full set curls, you know
26:20Models have to be dressed in literally 12 minutes. I'm gonna have to shorten it really quick. I forgot my tools
26:26I
26:28Start what is happening? Oh, I know the back looks like shit, but I'm gonna unintentionally rip the front I think I
26:34Love that these became sexy garters. This is as this is gonna get in the middle of a mental crisis
26:39Hold this come come over here. Yep
26:42I'm gonna stitch that actually I'm gonna go ahead and cut this because it just doesn't need to be this

26:52Oh
26:54Your first runway

27:49All right, you all please welcome
27:53actress activists
27:55totally fabulous
28:04Redemption looks here we go
28:06Yes
28:13Seeing my look walking down the runway, this is exactly what I want
28:18I kept the original shape the power from the shoulder
28:23But I added drama into the look the sparkles from the pedals
28:29The edginess to really show to the judges who I am as a person and a designer
28:36I
28:45Love the dress. I love the way the dress is looking right now in the runway
28:48I've already redeemed myself from that horrible look reading it the right way with the right materials is a great feeling
28:54I would like to sign my petition to burn the old dress and replace it with this one
29:00Since I've been on project one with six years ago, my DNA is still the same before she has this little tomboyish look
29:06So that was perfect
29:09Everything came out exactly how I wanted to come out. I'm happy with what I've done and I've done my job
29:20I'm proud of what I've accomplished draping is not an easy process
29:25Requires experience and passion. I love the way the silk is just kind of like dancing around her body
29:31I hope that the judges understand and can see the timeless quality of this design
29:37retention
29:45It has been 10 years since I've sent a lock down I've been on the runway for over a year
29:51It has been 10 years since I've sent a lock down a project runway runway and my look just walked in
29:58Let me tell you I could not be more proud. I have absolutely
30:01created a new fresh modern look
30:04Inspired by the spirit of my dress that I was eliminated from so I think I understood this assignment. I
30:12I
30:15Feel like I
30:17Overcame a hurdle of fitting something like this, especially after it's been such a long time. Maybe it wasn't the most perfectly
30:25Constructed garments, but with her makeup and hair and everything. I think she just looks beautiful
30:31I
30:38Feel like I'm having an out-of-body experience to be honest with you
30:43Seeing the look come down the runway I feel super proud I
30:48Started with something grab ill-fitting and now I'm presenting an original idea made really well
30:54But it also has details that compares to no one else's
31:02I
31:04Really feel like the look going down the runway this time shows a much more
31:08mature cuts of mama Lou
31:10It shows a designer that has a point of view. That's very clear
31:17And I really want to just slow mo it so I can just see it glide and get all the the goodies
31:25It just goes really quickly and I'm like, oh my god. I hope that they saw me because I see myself
31:32My
31:35Look is definitely who a different than everybody else, but that's a good thing
31:39The model change was stressful, but I don't think anybody's gonna know because my model looks fantastic
31:45So beautiful and so powerful
31:53This was a definite rollercoaster to get this garment completed, but I feel like
31:59Successfully it captured the essence of the challenge
32:02I'm just thankful that I'm able to create here and use the hurt and pain as inspiration to
32:10Showcase to the world the type of designer that I am and how you get over hard times. I
32:18Feel like I've created a look that for me is inspired by the
32:24Spirit of my first design. It's not like a direct interpretation
32:29So, I don't know if the judges will see it, but I'm happy with my work
32:42My model has her thing she has her bouffant. She has the red lip the black liner
32:48I'm not gonna lie
32:49I think I strayed from the challenge
32:51But my whole purpose of being here was to pay homage to my mother and I think my mom would have loved it
33:01I'm definitely proud hard to say if I redeemed myself or not because again, I don't think that I had anything to redeem myself from
33:08But I think I did a good solid evolution of the look that I had before
33:13And I think I really showed how I've grown
33:19I am living as Mario walks down the runway. It is
33:23Feminine, it's got movement and I figured out how to incorporate that active wear
33:30The pink the butterflies the shoulders the draping. It's me
33:38Well, I know we can't wait to hear all about these looks so will you all step up to the runway
33:48Alright designers we have scored your designs and now we would like to speak with
33:55Victor
33:56Nora
33:58fish me
33:59cane
34:01Fabio and
34:04Carousel if I did not call your name you are in the rest of you can leave the runway
34:11So
34:16The six of you had the highest and lowest scores today
34:20One of you will be the winner and one of you will be out
34:25You
34:35All right, let's start off positive shall we let's bring out one of our favorite looks of the night
34:45Congratulations fish me
34:47Okay, tell us about your look. What's trying to make something that was inspired by a girl
34:52That's doing what you have to do and elevated version of the hoodie dress
34:55try to put myself in a happy place because the picture that I was inspired by
35:00Triggered something for me that I didn't expect for it to do
35:03So it was very difficult for me to continue on and make it
35:06So it's literally been two months and probably like a day since my sister passed away. Well, you did a beautiful job and
35:13You can consider this a tribute to her. Thank you. This is what today's challenge is all about
35:19Turning a negative into a positive. This is a happy cheerful joyful. Look it's a true
35:26Elevation of whatever this initial vision was that you had the first look was just not at all you and this was nice to see
35:33something so assured from you all of the details are such signatures of yours and
35:38I can see that over the time since we've seen you that you've really refined those it feels very modern and
35:45Really just joyful and the color is so fantastic. The ruffles are so playful and it's really fun
35:52Hey, all right. Let's bring out another one of our favorite looks of the night
36:01Kane how does it feel to be in the top three? I'm appreciative and humbled. So thank you
36:06Well, I want to wear that dress we can make that happen. It's just really elegant and
36:13Sexy and chic so I wasn't clueless on this challenge. I
36:20Remember the challenge for you
36:23Was incorporating that bit of white and now the pièce de résistance
36:30Is the white? Yeah. Well, I'll just jump right in here and say that. I love that. You gave us some drama, honey
36:37I just loved the
36:39Feminine kind of softness of the bottom half and how kind of cool and edgy the top is
36:47Thank You Cain's nice to meet you switching gears the next look received one of our lowest scores, unfortunately
36:56And going into this my challenge was difficult for me because it was a wedding dress challenge the first time I
37:04Am NOT a wedding dress designer, but this time I wanted to create something kind of structural
37:10You chose a fabric that easily puckers if not seemed perfectly and you chose a color that really
37:17Highlights any sort of imperfection. I didn't want to go white
37:21Yeah, like last time I wanted to do kind of like a different color. I remember the wedding dress. Yes, I
37:28Understand
37:30The problem you're having I see the choice of fabric
37:33I see that that's not something that you do all the time all the time, right?
37:38I wish I would have seen a little more bold from you. Yeah
37:43Actually, I wasn't as crazy about it when you first came down, but now that I've been staring at it
37:48I think it's kind of pretty I appreciate that. Thank you. Thank You Nora Emily. You can leave their own way
37:55Okay, let's bring out one of the bottom scores of the night
38:03Unfortunately Victor you had one of our least favorite designs of the night
38:07Do you want to tell us about it the challenge at that time? It was a team challenge
38:12So I took the opportunity to change it into something that I do now. I'll be honest
38:16It wasn't immediately clear what the connection was. Okay creative indeed
38:21But fashion is subjective and for me this
38:26Didn't translate. I think this lattice work on the shoulders is very creative
38:32Is it cost to me it is but there's something very creative of taking this concept of the stilt and
38:40Narrowing it down to this
38:42But I also would have loved to see a pairing back of something to really let that one idea or whatever
38:48Idea it was of your choosing really really sing right? Thank You Victor, Jessica. You can leave their own way
38:56The next design received one of the lowest scores here comes the model
39:09All right Karras on
39:11Tell us about your look the challenge was a me down for Nancy Odell
39:16I changed it in many ways. I still kept the asymmetrical
39:21It's inspired by my mother Barbara Saunders and I call this kind of Barbara by the sea
39:27I do remember the Nancy Odell challenge
39:31there is a fine line when you're working with costumes and
39:36Translating that into real life. It just needed to be a little more subdued
39:42It feels too in your face. It just needed editing. This feels a bit formal and stiff and
39:50Dare I say a little dated, right?
39:53Thank You Karras on thank you. You can leave the runway
39:57The next look got one of our highest scores of the night
40:04Tell us about your look it was a challenge about outerwear
40:08So I feel like I wanted to create something that was mid seasonal so hence the arms are out, but she has
40:16Sleeves on and I kept this idea in my mind of flipping it around flipping it around
40:20So that's what I did all of the textiles except this one because it's you know, it's double-faced. They're all the wrong side
40:26it's very chic and I really like the back was very modern and
40:31Creative
40:32Yeah
40:33Congratulations, thank you Fabio Fabio Fabio. I mean, this is the improvement off the chart
40:38So chic my favorite look of the day. I would buy it right off your body. I'll give it to you. Thank you Fabio
40:47Thanks designers, please exit stage left we'll call you back soon. Thank you
40:52You
40:58Know what? It's going to be very difficult to send one of these designers home
41:03Why don't we just talk about who we think should win?
41:07Kane for sure for me was glamorous and
41:11runway
41:13Exciting this was such a lovely
41:16Introduction to him and his work. Yeah, if I go back and remember what he did, it was always very
41:22gilded and very
41:24Overly designed to see the restraint that he had in designing this
41:29That's all he needed. I think we have to give credit to bitch me though
41:33He took a look that really did not do well at all and completely reinvented it
41:40While staying true to the elements of that design it was glamour, but at the same time
41:47Practicality. Yes, but also Fabio
41:50Really great. I loved
41:53Fabio I really admire the elegance and maturity of it. It's really sophisticated
41:59Well, should we talk about who's going home? Not easy, but let's do it. What did you guys think about Karazhan?
42:06You're talking about the mermaid
42:09That stressed me out to no end
42:13The cut of that slit was not right. I could see everything under the dress
42:17I have to say I was surprised that that was from
42:20Karazhan, I think had she taken out all that beating
42:25Shortened the gown and kept the train long. It would have been
42:31Spectacular. Yeah, should we move to Nora? Well when she walked out the runway the first time I went
42:36Oh, and then when it was in front of me, and I was looking at it for a long time. I went. Oh
42:41It's kind of pretty she brings such a different perspective
42:45But it was just executed so poorly
42:47I think it was the right idea that needed more time and it just needed an expert hand sewing is a core
42:53Part of this competition hundred percent. This is a sink or swim environment. And unfortunately, I don't think she has the fins
43:01To stay afloat. I think that Victor really has a lane
43:04I think he was just trying to show us tonight how many lanes he can go down and we got the message loud and clear
43:10I have to say the longer I looked at it up close the more I appreciated his skill level
43:16Yeah, I first thought go down the runway. I didn't like it. Did you connect the stilts to the didn't sorry guys?
43:22That was over my head. It never gets easier doing this, but I guess we know who needs to go home
43:35You
43:40Fabio
43:41Bishme and Cain
43:43the three of you
43:45redeemed yourselves tonight, but
43:49Unfortunately, only one of you can win the $10,000 that's on the table tonight the winner of this challenge
43:56successfully changed history
43:58their look was modern dramatic and
44:02a successful reinvention the winner is
44:13Cain
44:19See good old southern boy from Nashville can do some fashion stuff
44:25Congratulations Cain $10,000
44:29I
44:31Think I absolutely got the redemption that I needed
44:36Call me
44:38Fish me and Fabio. You are also in thank you. You can all leave the runway. Thank you. Well done guys
44:45I just won this challenge. I want to win multiple challenges here
44:55Carousel Victor and Nora
44:59Unfortunately, none of you were able to redeem your original look and one of you will be out
45:13Victor
45:15You're in thank you. Thank you so much
45:20Thank you, you can leave the runway carousel and Nora
45:24Carousel we love that you honored your mother
45:29But your look needed editing
45:34Nora we really appreciate the unique point of view that you bring to this competition
45:40But unfortunately your execution fell short
45:46Nora
45:50I'm sorry, you're out
45:54No, I'm so sorry, I really would have loved to see more of
46:00Your point of view and I wish you much luck
46:04Thank you so much for this opportunity to come back. And of course to be a part of the project runway family
46:11So, thank you
46:15You do it
46:18Carousel you are in you can both leave the runway. Thank you. Thank you
46:24So much in the short time that I've been here I've
46:29Reconnected with an old friend you both get to stay I'm going home
46:37I'm going home
46:38But I just wanted to say that you guys are all going to just kill it and I can't wait to see what you do
46:45I've been inspired by other people. It was bittersweet and I just really wish the best for everybody
46:52We're gonna miss you, thank you for joining us again, I'll see you in another 18 years
47:06I'm gonna send you the workroom clean up your space. Say your goodbyes
47:13Would have loved to spend a little more time with the designers
47:18But if you have a question in your mind of whether to do something I took the risks to do it and
47:25I think my legacy is just go and try it. You'll never know if you didn't try
47:34Next on project runway all-star
47:38Good morning boys and girls Christian is waiting for you inside
47:44All right designers have fun with the toys
47:47This is my store. I already know. I feel like the unconventional challenge shows you who you are
47:54This is pandemonium. I need my emotional support. Why are you crying?
47:58We can't wait to see how you brought these toys to life. Oh my god. I'm like sweating
