00:00:01Previously on Project Runway.

00:00:06I'm a costume designer.

00:00:07On the movie set, people always say,

00:00:09why don't you have your line out there?

00:00:11So this has been, like, a dream of mine

00:00:13that I've always wanted to have my own line.

00:00:16I worked in porn for an online sex website.

00:00:20Yes, I was making good money,

00:00:21but I wanted to concentrate on designing again.

00:00:24My boss said, well, if you're such a great designer,

00:00:26well, why aren't you doing anything?

00:00:28And a week later, I quit, and I was like, you know what?

00:00:30You're right.

00:00:31I am married, and I have a five-year-old daughter.

00:00:34I have a small business in a small town in Virginia.

00:00:38I feel like because I am a mom,

00:00:40we have to have our core four that we watch out for.

00:00:43I know that exploiting my role as a mother

00:00:46is kind of evil, truly,

00:00:48but it's going to help me get to the end.

00:00:51You can believe that I'm going to do it.

00:00:53Daniel is out.

00:00:58Mario, you're out.

00:01:00Star, you're out.

00:01:04Vanessa, you're out.

00:01:07So I got up early this morning.

00:01:09We went up to Wendy's,

00:01:10and we just had a little fun extreme makeover.

00:01:12I'm definitely getting more competitive.

00:01:14It's kind of the evolution of this game.

00:01:16Laura, you're out.

00:01:21Alexandra, you're out.

00:01:24Robert, you're out.

00:01:27I personally felt that Kevin was not as active as a leader

00:01:33as he could have been.

00:01:34When you want something bad enough,

00:01:36it can bring out some really ugly behavior.

00:01:39Kevin, you're out.

00:01:42Kevin, you're out.

00:01:43Kevin, pay to be nice.

00:01:46I have no regrets.

00:01:47I just need to get in the position to be in the final three.

00:01:50Kara-san, you will go to New York Fashion Week.

00:02:06Every road has really led me to this one point in my life.

00:02:13I'm going to Fashion Week.

00:02:16Jay, you will go to New York Fashion Week.

00:02:20I'm really honored to be in the final three.

00:02:23I thought I was only here on personality,

00:02:25and getting to this point,

00:02:27it shows that I am a good designer.

00:02:30Wendy, you are the winner of this challenge.

00:02:37So you're in.

00:02:38You would show at New York Fashion Week.

00:02:44Never in a million years did I think I would make it to the final three.

00:02:47We were shocked when Wendy walked in the door.

00:02:49I hate Wendy. I'm sorry.

00:02:53This is a search for the next big fashion designer.

00:02:58It's a cutthroat business.

00:02:59The competition was fierce.

00:03:02Twelve contestants, three finalists, and one winner.

00:03:06Three designers will make their runway debut at Olympus Fashion Week.

00:03:10I plan to make it to Fashion Week.

00:03:11I think I'll be number one.

00:03:12And the winner of Project Runway will receive everything they need to start their own label.

00:03:16I think I deserve to win.

00:03:18People are gonna start getting pretty bitchy.

00:03:20Oh my.

00:03:21For these twelve contestants, Project Runway is a chance of a lifetime.

00:03:31Welcome back to the runway.

00:03:33Congratulations for making it to the final three.

00:03:37I'm giving each of you $8,000,

00:03:40and you'll have five months at home to design a twelve-piece collection

00:03:44that will be shown at Olympus Fashion Week here in New York.

00:03:47All of the most important people in the fashion industry will be sitting front row watching your work.

00:03:56Let's bring out the models.

00:04:06Congratulations, girls, for making it this far.

00:04:08But as you can see, there's four of you and only three designers.

00:04:12The model who is associated with the winning designer will get the fashion spread in Elle magazine.

00:04:21Wendy, you won the last challenge. You have the first pick. Who do you choose?

00:04:25Thank you. I choose Melissa.

00:04:27I am now one of the last three models, and I'm gonna be in Fashion Week, and I'm by Wendy's side, so I'm really excited.

00:04:39It's Jay.

00:04:40All righty, carousel.

00:04:41And I have to say, I've worked with both Martinique and Jenny, and you're both amazing walkers.

00:04:52And she said, I've worked with Jenny for the last four challenges, and she really did a great job for me.

00:04:58And so I'm gonna have to go with Jenny.

00:05:04Sorry.

00:05:05It's okay.

00:05:06That means you're out.

00:05:08Bye.

00:05:09Auf Wiedersehen.

00:05:10Bye.

00:05:11Bye.

00:05:12It is what it is.

00:05:13That's all I've been saying this whole time, and I'm gonna keep saying it is what it is.

00:05:17And you take from it what you may, and I think that, like, I've done my job, and if my job is done, then it's time for me to go.

00:05:24Okay.

00:05:25Good luck, and I'll see you on the runway.

00:05:27Bye.

00:05:28Bye.

00:05:29Bye.

00:05:31Bye.

00:05:32The Project Runway experience has refueled my love for fashion.

00:05:40I'm so inspired.

00:05:42Going through nine challenges, and, like, doing decent, and never winning, never losing.

00:05:48Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

00:05:50But I might be the bride at the Bryan Park Show, and I want to win this thing.

00:05:55When I came to try out for Project Runway, I just sort of assumed that you had to be formally trained in this field.

00:06:04And I'm an example that you don't.

00:06:07You know, I came in almost last in a lot of challenges.

00:06:11It's just really sweet to know that the two times I pulled it out were the two really good times to do it,

00:06:20because I got the Banana Republic challenge, and my dress is going to be worn to the Grammys.

00:06:26Wendy, Nancy O'Dell did pick your dress to wear to the Grammys.

00:06:30If I win, this will change my life forever.

00:06:33I'm excited that I came here, and, you know, I just wanted to rely on my creativity and my talent to get me to the final three.

00:06:45And that's what I did.

00:06:46And that, you know, I was just able to do it in the way that I wanted to, without sort of playing any tricks or games or stab anyone in the back.

00:06:54I'm proud that, you know, I had four wins.

00:06:58The winner of the Silent Auction, you're the winner of the Wedding Dress Challenge.

00:07:03You have won this week's challenge.

00:07:05Carousan, you have won again.

00:07:07This is what designers, you know, dream about.

00:07:10I'm going to put everything that I've ever learned in my life into it.

00:07:15I cannot wait to get to Fashion Week.

00:07:17I can't wait to get to Fashion Week.

00:07:22I see you soon.

00:07:23Bye-bye.

00:07:24Bye.

00:07:25Bye, Wendy.

00:07:27Bye.

00:07:28Bye.

00:07:29Bye, Heidi.

00:07:30Bye.

00:07:31Alvina Winterschnitzel.

00:07:33I'll see you at Bryant Park.

00:07:35Bye.

00:07:36Bye.

00:07:46I'm traveling to check on the various collections of our three finalists.

00:07:51I'm looking forward to seeing what they're able to do with months to work on their designs,

00:07:55as opposed to the two days they often have during the challenges.

00:08:00Right now we're in Lehman, Pennsylvania.

00:08:02This is the town that I grew up in, and I am the youngest of six children.

00:08:09We're country people.

00:08:11We're doing country things.

00:08:12I'm going to get you, Tim Gunn.

00:08:14Don't shoot.

00:08:15It's Project Runway calling.

00:08:17Hello.

00:08:18How are you?

00:08:19I'm great.

00:08:20Wonderful.

00:08:21It's great to see you.

00:08:22Well, here it is, Tim.

00:08:23What is this?

00:08:24This is where all the magic happens?

00:08:25Well, I don't know if it's magic, but it's where something happens.

00:08:28The grand studio.

00:08:30This is wonderful.

00:08:31Yeah.

00:08:32I don't normally stand in my studio with a gun, but...

00:08:35Well, you didn't know who I was before you went to your driveway.

00:08:37No, I didn't.

00:08:38I was like, who's on my property?

00:08:39You're beautifully organized.

00:08:41Well, I try to keep it color-coded so I know what's going on.

00:08:45So let me give you a tour.

00:08:47Here's the kitchen.

00:08:49Let me put my gun down.

00:08:51It's not loaded, I hope.

00:08:52Actually, it might be.

00:08:53Do you like my wig?

00:08:54That's not your hair?

00:08:56No, no, no, no.

00:08:57I was just thinking it was itching.

00:08:58I thought you were growing it and coloring it.

00:09:00Yeah.

00:09:01Right now, in the process of putting my collection together, I'm about halfway through.

00:09:05I'm getting very nervous and excited about completing my collection.

00:09:10Up until about a couple weeks ago, I felt on track.

00:09:12Now I kind of feel off track a little bit.

00:09:14You'll pick it up.

00:09:15Just because of the holidays.

00:09:16You'll pick it up.

00:09:17January, I'm locking all the doors and I'm not leaving.

00:09:20I have every confidence.

00:09:21You're going to take me on a tour of the community?

00:09:23Yeah, we're going to take a tour of the town.

00:09:26It should take about four to ten seconds.

00:09:29Stop.

00:09:30So this is about it, Tim.

00:09:32Small town America.

00:09:34It's where I live.

00:09:37Here is the yard where all my dad's concrete pieces are.

00:09:42My dad started a concrete company in the 60s.

00:09:47And he makes septic tanks for sewage.

00:09:50And every time you take a poopy, you think of us.

00:09:53And he designed all the forms that these get built into.

00:09:58And your mother designed the shapes.

00:09:59Yeah.

00:10:00The actual pieces.

00:10:01The forms.

00:10:02This is where you get your own abilities from.

00:10:04It's in the genes.

00:10:05It's in the genes.

00:10:06And my mother did needlepoint.

00:10:07So somewhere in the middle came fashion.

00:10:09Came Jay McCarroll.

00:10:10Yeah, it's true.

00:10:11Exactly.

00:10:12How did the craziness that is Jay come out of a small, normal American town like this?

00:10:19And the answer is, I don't know.

00:10:24All I can think of is that I'm the youngest of six.

00:10:27So I got all the kind of weird leftover parts to make a human.

00:10:34Hello.

00:10:35Tim.

00:10:36This is my mother.

00:10:37I'm delighted to meet you.

00:10:38This is Tim Gunn from television.

00:10:40And here's my sister, Janet.

00:10:41Hi, Janet.

00:10:42So nice to meet you.

00:10:43You too.

00:10:44And my niece, Molly.

00:10:45Molly.

00:10:46How are you?

00:10:47She's being shy.

00:10:48This is weird, isn't it?

00:10:49I hope he gets a job out of this.

00:10:52Tell him about how I used to wear costumes in the front yard with the band.

00:10:56That's how he got started sewing.

00:10:57I was making flags for the band and he said, show me how to use a sewing machine and I've

00:11:02been sewing ever since.

00:11:03Ever since he's been a little boy, we knew he'd eventually end up doing something with

00:11:07his life.

00:11:08I think he'll go far.

00:11:09People were mean to me growing up, you know?

00:11:11And if you're artistic and you're, you know, experimenting at age 14 or 16 and people

00:11:17want to call you names and try to hit you.

00:11:20But he set a trend because then shortly thereafter, everyone else had the same thing.

00:11:24So you're always the trendsetter.

00:11:26I'd march to the beat of my own drum.

00:11:30This process for me has been a huge confidence booster.

00:11:33You know, like, you are a valid designer, you know, competing against these other people.

00:11:38What if I was to win Project Runway?

00:11:41You were going to get liposuction and get the heck out of leaving.

00:11:47I want my collection to be something that people wouldn't expect from me necessarily.

00:11:52I feel like a lot of people are going to expect something really kooky.

00:11:55I'm going to have goats on the runway.

00:11:57And while I love that and while that might be great for me 10 years from now, it's not

00:12:02going to be good for me for this.

00:12:03Let me walk you through my idea for my collection.

00:12:06Great.

00:12:07It's this whole idea of music and stereotypes and like hip young kids and how music relates

00:12:14to those stereotypes.

00:12:15You know, indie people listen to a particular kind of music and they dress a certain way.

00:12:20Earthy Crunchy people listen to a certain type of music and they dress a certain way.

00:12:23So we have like day, night, skiing, clubbing, Saatchi and Saatchi-ing, groceries, cooking

00:12:30on the corner.

00:12:31This one's very, very red carpet evening.

00:12:33Very.

00:12:34So then the idea of the headphones popped up.

00:12:36It's this whole idea of kind of like, just be who you want to be, plop on your headphones

00:12:42and ignore, you know, the people that are racing by you.

00:12:45You have your own style, you have your own thing.

00:12:47So just be yourself.

00:12:48Yeah.

00:12:49When you have these, you just close yourself off.

00:12:52But that, see how that adds kind of an instant.

00:12:55Yeah, it does.

00:12:56It will be what pulls them all together.

00:12:57I'm not leaving this house for the entire month of January.

00:13:00So you have the fabrics you need?

00:13:02I have everything.

00:13:03Everything.

00:13:04I just need to sit here and do it.

00:13:05Okay.

00:13:06Bye bye.

00:13:07Thanks for stopping by.

00:13:09I met with Tim and I feel like I am behind, but I think it went pretty well.

00:13:12Bye bye.

00:13:13Now get off my property, Tim.

00:13:15I mean, what's he going to say?

00:13:17I'm brilliant.

00:13:18I hope Tim has a good time at Wendy's house.

00:13:22I'm not.

00:13:23I wouldn't want to be trapped in Middleburg, Virginia with Wendy Pepper.

00:13:28Coming up on Project Runway.

00:13:30I think you're talented.

00:13:31Now, unfortunately, I'm going to try and beat you this week.

00:13:34You are a one ruthless bitch.

00:13:37Today, we're in Middleburg, Virginia checking up on Wendy Pepper.

00:13:49When I was told that Tim was going to come down and have a visit, I was kind of excited

00:13:54because I really like what I'm doing and I thought it would be neat for him to see.

00:13:58Hey!

00:13:59Wendy!

00:14:00How are you?

00:14:01How are you?

00:14:02How are you?

00:14:03Come in.

00:14:04Great to see you.

00:14:05Thrilled to be here.

00:14:06Welcome.

00:14:07Thanks for letting me come.

00:14:08Oh, absolutely.

00:14:09Now you're on my turf.

00:14:10That's right.

00:14:11That's right.

00:14:12Well, show me around.

00:14:13Okay.

00:14:14This is my office in here.

00:14:15Terrific.

00:14:16Conveniently located.

00:14:18Inspiration board.

00:14:19I'm very inspired by certain different periods in art.

00:14:22And obviously, my family is the most important thing to me, so I keep pictures of them there.

00:14:27I couldn't have done this without the support of my family, my husband, my daughter, my mother.

00:14:32Everybody has pitched in in their own way.

00:14:35So this is work room number one.

00:14:38This is my cutting table.

00:14:40And here is my main work room where I do my work and also where I have the viewing parties.

00:14:46I have a small business in my house.

00:14:49I work for individual clients who need beautiful clothes that personify this Washington, D.C. style.

00:14:58She's very talented.

00:14:59She is indeed.

00:15:00I'm very impressed with Wendy.

00:15:02I think it's been very gutsy to go this route on Project Runway.

00:15:07It looks to me like it's not all easy.

00:15:10Finn, can you come out and meet Tim?

00:15:12Hi, Finley.

00:15:13Hi.

00:15:14How are you?

00:15:15Good.

00:15:16Nice to meet you.

00:15:17And I believe even Finley was just doing a little sewing.

00:15:20Finley sewing?

00:15:21Yeah.

00:15:22Look at the little machine.

00:15:23So she works on her little dress form when I'm working on my bigger dress form.

00:15:32Finley made this for the judges.

00:15:34How great.

00:15:35So she said, you know, I'm going to paint this for the judges.

00:15:38No, I just made it because remember I had nothing to do and then he told me that I could paint.

00:15:47So I did.

00:15:50So I'd like to show you a couple things I'm working on.

00:15:52I'd love to see.

00:15:53So we had the opportunity to take a look at some of my pieces today and I would say they're all in various stages of construction.

00:16:00This is a skirt.

00:16:01This is another piece I did.

00:16:03This is the train.

00:16:04When I first came home it was fall.

00:16:07The leaves were starting to change and so basically I started identifying the color scheme.

00:16:13And I liked the softness of this jacket which she can remove.

00:16:17This is looking a little bedjackety to me.

00:16:19Okay.

00:16:20The skirt and the top are looking so modern.

00:16:24Yeah, it is.

00:16:25And really innovative.

00:16:26All right, cool.

00:16:27And this is just looking a little, I don't know, Rue McClanahan on the Golden Girls.

00:16:32Tim has just been an invaluable asset to me.

00:16:34He really reached in and found the weak points in what I was working on.

00:16:39I'm going to respond as best I can.

00:16:41I'd much rather have that discussion here than on the runway in New York.

00:16:45I just wanted to lob out a couple of thoughts, one being be wary of over designing.

00:16:50Okay.

00:16:51Be really objective as you can be about your marriage of the textiles, which I feel you have an innate gift for.

00:16:58Okay.

00:16:59It's like just be you.

00:17:00Okay.

00:17:01I thought it would be nice to take a walk through Middleburg because it's really something that I cherish so much being a part of this small town.

00:17:08Every time I go somewhere, if I go to the post office, I know the people and they all watch the show.

00:17:13Ever since the show has started, I've become like this minor celebrity in my town.

00:17:17Oh, I'm so excited to see you.

00:17:19Yeah.

00:17:20Go, Wendy.

00:17:21Wendy.

00:17:22I didn't pay him myself.

00:17:25I wanted to bring Tim to visit my great-grandmother's house.

00:17:29She gave it to the National Trust when she died.

00:17:32I do come here quite often, especially to the gardens.

00:17:35Wendy, this is too much.

00:17:36This is like dynasty.

00:17:38Really wonderful.

00:17:41What a treat to come here.

00:17:43Wendy, this has been really special and really wonderful.

00:17:46Okay.

00:17:47Well, I just want to tell you that I have so much food for thought after our little discussion today.

00:17:51Above and beyond how nice it is to see you.

00:17:53It was just great to have you look through my stuff.

00:17:55Oh, it's a real pleasure.

00:17:56And I appreciate it because now I have to throw it all out.

00:17:59I am so grateful for Tim's comments today.

00:18:03I want to win.

00:18:04I'm a good competitor.

00:18:06Did he make me have second thoughts?

00:18:08Yeah.

00:18:09I'm going to change everything.

00:18:10Go remake the whole thing.

00:18:17So Tim is in L.A.

00:18:19I was really happy that Tim came to visit me because I really wanted to work with him and sort of like editing the line

00:18:27and showed him some of the fabrics that I had selected that I was going to be working on.

00:18:32Curious on.

00:18:33How are you?

00:18:34Hi.

00:18:35You look great.

00:18:36I really wanted to take Tim to my favorite fabric store in Los Angeles, FNS Fabrics.

00:18:41I've been shopping here since I moved to L.A.

00:18:44I'm not originally from L.A.

00:18:46My father is in the Air Force and so we traveled a lot.

00:18:49I have a very tight knit family.

00:18:51My grandmother sewed and I made her pair of shorts when I was in kindergarten and I sewed the legs

00:18:56up and she couldn't get in them.

00:18:59When I got to junior high school, that's where I learned how to sew.

00:19:02I never had any formal training like fashion school.

00:19:05I pretty much self-taught from, you know, my home economics class.

00:19:09It flows.

00:19:10It flows like...

00:19:11It flows like metal.

00:19:12Like...

00:19:13But it's back to how do those 12 looks look on the runway?

00:19:16Yes.

00:19:17Yes.

00:19:18I was really anxious to hear what Tim Gunn had to say so I took him to see my collection.

00:19:23I'm already inspired.

00:19:24I can't wait to hear about everything.

00:19:26The whole concept is, um, I call it flight.

00:19:30One day I decided to just take a break and go to the movies and I went to see the aviator.

00:19:35My idea was to sort of take that, you know, glamorous, elegant look but turn it, take it to the future.

00:19:41Okay, so it's not retro.

00:19:42It's not vintage.

00:19:43It's today.

00:19:44It's today.

00:19:45It's now.

00:19:46A lot of what we did in the challenges, there's some restrictions on it.

00:19:50What I'm doing for the show is completely carousel.

00:19:53This is what I love to do as far as detailing.

00:19:56And you just put it with a nice pair of pants.

00:19:58See, I did hand, um...

00:20:01Starring.

00:20:02Detailing.

00:20:03This is, um, a patent leather.

00:20:05All right.

00:20:06I have one concern.

00:20:09I'm worried about the fit and these darts and the breasts.

00:20:12For me, for you, it just looks a little chunky.

00:20:14That's all.

00:20:15A little bit bigger corset, corset.

00:20:18Right.

00:20:19The proportion will work still.

00:20:22I have about four criteria when I think of every piece.

00:20:26One, does it look like something that I would do?

00:20:29Two, would Tim Gunn come in the room and say stunning?

00:20:32Would Heidi wear it out?

00:20:34Would Michael Kors say it's sexy?

00:20:36And would Nina Garcia put it in L?

00:20:39Like, literally, it's gonna be, um, around the clock from now until I reach New York.

00:20:47Time is definitely a factor, but I always do my best work under pressure.

00:20:51And any time I get tired, I'm like, you are going to Olympus Fashion Week.

00:21:06Good evening.

00:21:07Hi.

00:21:08Welcome.

00:21:09How are you?

00:21:10Here I am in New York.

00:21:11I'm part of the final three and I'm at Olympus Fashion Week.

00:21:18When I came up to the W Hotel and I opened the door, the room is spectacular.

00:21:22This is, again, a huge transition from where I live in the country, you know, back to the Big Apple.

00:21:29What's up?

00:21:30What's up?

00:21:31My name is Chris.

00:21:32How are you?

00:21:33My pants are falling down.

00:21:34Oh, okay.

00:21:35Nice to meet you.

00:21:36Being here in New York for Olympus Fashion Week, it's very fresh and new to me because,

00:21:44of course, I've never experienced it as an amateur fashion designer.

00:21:48See you bitches later.

00:21:49Good luck.

00:21:50Wow.

00:21:51Oh, wow.

00:21:52Oh, my God.

00:21:53It's a Wendy Pepper.

00:21:54Look at this place.

00:21:55Oh, my God.

00:21:56Let's have a look at you around, shall we?

00:21:57Oh, my God.

00:21:58This is fancy.

00:21:59Jay.

00:22:00Yeah.

00:22:01You want to come bunk with me?

00:22:02Am I going to bunk with you?

00:22:03Um, let me check.

00:22:05I don't think so, Wendy.

00:22:06I want to come bunk with me.

00:22:07Oh, my God.

00:22:08Oh, my God.

00:22:09Oh, my God.

00:22:10Oh, my God.

00:22:11Oh, my God.

00:22:12Oh, my God.

00:22:13Oh, my God.

00:22:14Oh, my God.

00:22:15Oh, my God.

00:22:16Oh, my God.

00:22:17Oh, my God.

00:22:18Oh, my God.

00:22:19I want her to realize that she was playing such a bizarre game on the show.

00:22:24You know what, Wendy?

00:22:25I've had a really hard time watching the show.

00:22:27I know you said so many mean things about me, dear.

00:22:29Here, I'm going to lay down the line.

00:22:31I was going to come in here and completely ignore you, and I can't do that.

00:22:34You're a human, you know?

00:22:35You're an interesting person, and it's just a shame that I had to see what happened come out on this TV show.

00:22:41I just, I want to see the real you, because I feel like the last time was a bit contrived.

00:22:46I know you're a really interesting person.

00:22:48You were in the Peace Corps, which I didn't know about.

00:22:50I didn't hear about any of that, you know?

00:22:52All I heard was this weird stuff, and that sucks for me.

00:22:55Now, that's a lot coming from you, dear.

00:22:57No, I'm not being condescending.

00:22:59I'm just saying that.

00:23:00Weird?

00:23:01Me?

00:23:02From you?

00:23:03Yeah.

00:23:04I just don't know why you weren't fine to me.

00:23:06I was always fine to you.

00:23:07I wasn't fine to you because you were playing a game.

00:23:10I was on a game.

00:23:11I didn't approach it as a game.

00:23:13It's a competition.

00:23:15It's a contest, but it doesn't mean it's a mind game.

00:23:17It's not a game.

00:23:18It's not a game.

00:23:19You are a one, ruthless bitch.

00:23:22For me, it's all about who has the goods.

00:23:26I think you're talented.

00:23:27Now, unfortunately, I'm going to try and beat you this week.

00:23:30I feel like if you think this is a contest based on talent, then you shouldn't be here.

00:23:37Okay.

00:23:38Crazy.

00:23:39Crazy, Wendy.

00:23:40Go with it, I guess.

00:23:41I don't know, you know?

00:23:43My goodness, lady.

00:23:46Why did you put me with her?

00:23:49Harrison?

00:23:50Kara?

00:23:51Kara, where are you?

00:23:57I'm here.

00:23:59I think Fashion Week is going to be crazy and hectic and exciting.

00:24:04This is my opportunity to show the world what I can do.

00:24:08Kara's on?

00:24:09Sure.

00:24:10Checking in?

00:24:11This is not.

00:24:12Oh, it's open.

00:24:13Hey!

00:24:14Hey!

00:24:15How are you?

00:24:16Good.

00:24:17How are you?

00:24:18Right here, son.

00:24:19Hello.

00:24:20Look at this place.

00:24:22I'm here.

00:24:23I'm here.

00:24:24I'm here.

00:24:25I'm here.

00:24:26I'm here.

00:24:27I'm here.

00:24:28This place.

00:24:29It is pretty exciting, isn't it?

00:24:32With Wendy, it's just like I have no desire to interact with her or speak to her or say

00:24:37hi.

00:24:38How are you doing?

00:24:39Anything.

00:24:40Show me around, Jay.

00:24:41Show me.

00:24:42Show me.

00:24:43Show me.

00:24:44Well, it's just these two rooms?

00:24:45There's two bedrooms.

00:24:46Jay and Karasan, they don't really have much use for me.

00:24:47We didn't really end on a very good note.

00:24:49Where's my bed?

00:24:50I don't know.

00:24:51I guess in there.

00:24:52Oh, really?

00:24:53Okay.

00:24:54She was really unhappy to see me, but then it didn't even compare to how unhappy she was

00:24:59when she realized that we were supposed to be in the same room.

00:25:01Hmm.

00:25:02I'm gonna get the pillows from the bedroom.

00:25:09Good night, Karasan.

00:25:10Good night, Shaper.

00:25:11I'm so glad you're here.

00:25:13Coming up on Project Runway.

00:25:15This is your strategy.

00:25:16Jay, you know what?

00:25:17Shut up.

00:25:18You have him as your little whipping boy.

00:25:20Everybody hates you.

00:25:21Everybody hates you.

00:25:22Wow.

00:25:27Yeah.

00:25:28This is my first official Fashion Week collection.

00:25:33It's gonna be a lot of work this week.

00:25:35I'm ready.

00:25:36I mean, all the glitches that I should have had, I should have worked out by now.

00:25:39All my seams are finished.

00:25:41My vision is exactly how I wanted it to be.

00:25:43I have a lot to do before the show.

00:25:45I need to be very focused and organized from now on.

00:25:49Hey, you guys.

00:25:50Hi, everybody.

00:25:51Hey.

00:25:52Welcome back to New York.

00:25:53Very exciting.

00:25:54So we're at the Cotton offices, and this will be your working space.

00:25:56You all have a lot to do.

00:25:57In addition to getting oriented here, you're going to be meeting with the fashion show producers.

00:26:01You're going to have a casting call with models, and Heidi will be overseeing all that.

00:26:06So you have a lot to do, a lot to think about, a lot to get ready for.

00:26:10You're part of Olympus Fashion Week.

00:26:12I see you all later.

00:26:13Fantastic.

00:26:14Bye.

00:26:17We had a meeting with John and Stacy.

00:26:19I'm Stacy.

00:26:20I'm the show producer.

00:26:21So let's go through the day.

00:26:23Bright and early, 6 a.m.

00:26:24We get to the tent.

00:26:25Your clothes arrive shortly thereafter.

00:26:27The girls are called for six.

00:26:29Part of the time backstage should be spent walking each of your person dressers through

00:26:35what it is they're doing.

00:26:36It does take some time to dress 12 people.

00:26:38The guests will start arriving at 9, 9.30.

00:26:41500 people have to be seated.

00:26:42Start at 10.

00:26:43You have your 12 girls go two on the runway at a time.

00:26:46So that's how you should think about your music.

00:26:48And then there's the finale, which is all 12 followed by you.

00:26:51And you might want to consider things like lint rollers and double stick tape and an iron

00:26:57and an ironing board.

00:26:58I'm trying to get butterflies for the first time.

00:27:00Chills.

00:27:01Hey John.

00:27:02Hey guys.

00:27:03Hi.

00:27:04We're seeing a lot, a lot of girls today and we're going to bring in one at a time.

00:27:11Hi.

00:27:12Hi.

00:27:13I'm Sarah.

00:27:14I'm Heidi.

00:27:15How are you?

00:27:16We saw about 75 girls.

00:27:17They presented their books and their cards and we had them walk up and down the hall to

00:27:21see how they could walk.

00:27:26Hello.

00:27:27Hi.

00:27:28Hi.

00:27:29You look so funny.

00:27:30I'll take her.

00:27:34Finally, someone makes me laugh.

00:27:37I was judging girls on personality.

00:27:39I'd rather have a group of bizarre girls because that's my vision.

00:27:42Me, I'm going off of, can she walk?

00:27:44Is she a good hard walker?

00:27:46A lot of the girls are really too skinny for what I do.

00:27:49I had my list in front of me of the dresses that were going to be in my lineup and I just

00:27:53did my best to match the girl to the dress.

00:27:57I predict we're going to have some fighting here.

00:27:59I'm going to kick your ass, Karisan.

00:28:01Bye-bye.

00:28:03Then we have three special girls that you guys each get to choose one from.

00:28:07Who's that?

00:28:08Celebrity models.

00:28:09One is Maggie Reiser who's available for this.

00:28:12She is very, very hot right now.

00:28:14Another is Ujuala.

00:28:15You would surely recognize her in the picture.

00:28:17And Michelle Buswell.

00:28:18I saw Maggie's card and I picked it up and I said, this one's mine.

00:28:23The claw reached in and sucked it back out.

00:28:26You like her?

00:28:27Harrison wanted all the girls with names and that's kind of obnoxious to me.

00:28:32I'll give up Linda if I can have Cynthia.

00:28:34I'm still going to fight on Cynthia because you have Maggie Reiser.

00:28:36Are we fighting over Neri?

00:28:37No, I have Neri.

00:28:38Yeah.

00:28:39You're getting all the good ones.

00:28:40You're getting this.

00:28:41Was I aggressive in model selection?

00:28:42I would say probably yeah, but there's nothing wrong with that.

00:28:45I liked Gia.

00:28:46She is yours.

00:28:47How should I trade for Neri?

00:28:48Lee Ager.

00:28:49Perfect.

00:28:50Cool.

00:28:51I'm done.

00:28:52Go!

00:28:53So after that experience, we went and saw Michael Kors at his studio.

00:28:57Here's the one thing I think that you have to remember.

00:28:59It's your opportunity to sell your clothes, sell you, sell the whole package, and in 12 looks, convince that audience of difficult people to fall in love with you.

00:29:09Michael Kors had a lot of good information for us.

00:29:13First off, each garment has to be fabulous, but it really is about the story you're telling.

00:29:18You've got to really look at it once you Polaroid those models and play with the order of how you show it.

00:29:24You're kind of taking them on a journey.

00:29:27So open with a wow from the outrageous outfit.

00:29:32You can have the quiet one then come after it because you're going to waste it if you throw the two outrageous ones together.

00:29:38I didn't know that you're supposed to open with like this super strong piece.

00:29:42So I've got to mix up my lineup a little bit.

00:29:44You have to keep an open mind that the right accessory could make or break the garment.

00:29:49Do you know anything about whether or not we're going to be using shoes from you?

00:29:52That's a very...

00:29:53Because I don't have shoes.

00:29:55I think that we're going to be able to do that.

00:29:56Okay.

00:29:57I'm excited to get to see a full presentation from all of you.

00:30:02Break a stiletto.

00:30:04I say break a stiletto.

00:30:06Thank you, Michael.

00:30:07Thank you so, so much.

00:30:08My pleasure.

00:30:09The one important thing for me in that meeting with Michael Kors was he talked about accessories

00:30:14and I realized that I had not planned out my accessories.

00:30:17I can't believe that I'm not prepared for this.

00:30:22You know?

00:30:23I have to be perfectly honest.

00:30:24Having that meeting today with Michael Kors really shocked me into recognition of what's

00:30:29going on here.

00:30:30And what's going on is it's my ass out on the line on Friday.

00:30:38We've all been living together in what can only be best described as awkward circumstances

00:30:45because Kerasan doesn't talk to me and Jay sort of is torn between the two of us.

00:30:50There's no time to play the game right now, I don't think.

00:30:53I'm trying to get these models organized.

00:30:55I'm playing the game.

00:30:56No time for gameplay.

00:30:57That's so funny.

00:30:58The subject is like the big elephant in the room that nobody's been talking about.

00:31:03It makes me uncomfortable when you're not talking to her because I'm stuck in the middle

00:31:07of it.

00:31:08Because I'm talking to her.

00:31:09Yeah, but when you were talking to her, it was fake.

00:31:11It's not so much fake.

00:31:12I'm just trying to be cordial.

00:31:13It is a little bizarre that you live in a room and you don't speak to me.

00:31:17You know what?

00:31:18I know that, but I'm not fake.

00:31:19Do you know what I'm saying?

00:31:20I know, but you are bizarre.

00:31:21I'm not bizarre.

00:31:22How is that bizarre?

00:31:23If I think you're a backstabbing liar, then I'm not going to talk to you.

00:31:27So to me, it's not being fake.

00:31:28It's being real.

00:31:29You don't go out of your way not to talk to me.

00:31:31No, seriously.

00:31:32Who's the liar in this room now?

00:31:34No, you had a strategy.

00:31:35Yeah.

00:31:36I don't care about your strategy.

00:31:37I'm here for the competition.

00:31:39Hey, don't you think isolating me is a strategy?

00:31:43You isolated yourself.

00:31:44You isolated you, Wendy.

00:31:45Hey, hey, hey, Jay.

00:31:46You decided to have your strategy.

00:31:47Jay doesn't isolate me.

00:31:48You decided to have your strategy.

00:31:49You know, I was very nice to you.

00:31:51I gave you a makeover the whole time.

00:31:53You were trying to find people's weaknesses to turn against them.

00:31:56Tell me.

00:31:57Tell me.

00:31:58You pretended to be people's friends and you got up on stage and you stabbed him in the back.

00:32:00Who?

00:32:01Who?

00:32:02Kevin.

00:32:03Austin.

00:32:04I'll tell you what is so funny.

00:32:05You hated Kevin and you thought he sucked.

00:32:06No, no, no.

00:32:07I did, but Kevin knew it.

00:32:08You missed two-faced.

00:32:09Me and Kevin talked about this.

00:32:10Oh.

00:32:11You got here, however you got here, that's fine.

00:32:12How about talent?

00:32:13That's nothing to do with me.

00:32:14How about we're all here based on talent?

00:32:15You know what?

00:32:16That's what you choose to believe.

00:32:17How about...

00:32:18You don't believe that?

00:32:19Does the world believe it, Wendy?

00:32:22Honestly, tell me the truth.

00:32:24Maybe if I kind of coerce them to fight with each other physically, I automatically win.

00:32:31Now that you've chosen the strategy for yourself, live it. Own it. Love it.

00:32:36You too.

00:32:37My strategy is to live on my talent.

00:32:39Wendy.

00:32:40You don't have that option.

00:32:41Charizard.

00:32:42One second.

00:32:43God.

00:32:44No one else.

00:32:45This is your strategy.

00:32:46No one else had a strategy.

00:32:47You have a strategy because you won't shut up.

00:32:49What the?

00:32:50Let me.

00:32:51All right?

00:32:52Okay.

00:32:53And you have a strategy because you have him as your little whipping boy.

00:32:54You are the most.

00:32:55Cheaping.

00:32:56Cheaping.

00:32:57Cheaping.

00:32:58You're jealous.

00:32:59Get a reality check, Wendy.

00:33:00That everybody hates me.

00:33:01Everybody hates you.

00:33:02Why is it so important for me?

00:33:03Do you know why?

00:33:04Do you not think that's kind of a strategy right there, to tell me that everybody hates

00:33:07me?

00:33:08But you knew it.

00:33:09It's a fact.

00:33:10I wouldn't have to tell anybody, Wendy.

00:33:11So you're not trying to weaken me by telling me everybody hates you?

00:33:12Wendy, I've met people like you, Wendy, my whole life.

00:33:15Oh, yeah.

00:33:16What are people like me like?

00:33:17Who potentially be your friends, who stab you in the back, who will do anything.

00:33:19I live in freaking Hollywood.

00:33:20Do you understand that?

00:33:21You're going to need your soul one day, Wendy, and you don't have it.

00:33:26Coming up on Project Runway.

00:33:28I'm so stressed for time right now, and you're always late.

00:33:31Oh, my God.

00:33:32She's got this guy in today, doing her for her.

00:33:35Today, just the hit the fan, and it was fantastic to watch.

00:33:46You hated Kevin, and you thought he sucked.

00:33:48No, no, no.

00:33:49I did, but Kevin knew it.

00:33:50And you know what?

00:33:51You missed two-faced.

00:33:52Me and Kevin talked about this.

00:33:53It was just, you know, right in your face, Wendy.

00:33:55It was just like...

00:33:56Wow!

00:33:57Two f***ing cats, man.

00:33:59They're going at each other.

00:34:01And Cara's not having the best day today, because with the Wendy situation, she's super tense.

00:34:06I don't understand why we can't do the wave in the front.

00:34:08Yeah, you can have the waves in the front.

00:34:10And then put the fake hair, and somehow put the real long hair just up.

00:34:15I try my best.

00:34:16It's not, I want to work with you.

00:34:18I know, I understand.

00:34:19Don't get upset.

00:34:20We try our best.

00:34:21How's that?

00:34:22I know, I know.

00:34:23I have a headache.

00:34:24This morning, Wendy Pepper and Jay just gave me a headache, and I really just wanted to come here and enjoy the experience.

00:34:32I'm not going to let Wendy Pepper ruin anything for me.

00:34:35Everyone, can I ask you to gather around?

00:34:40I have someone very special and very important for you to meet who is here to help you.

00:34:46Collier, can you come in?

00:34:48Collier is a makeup artist consultant for L'Oreal Paris, and he's here to help you.

00:34:53And I'm here today specifically to get a feeling of the collections, to feel the essence in what your story is that you're telling with them.

00:35:02Okay, so anything you need from me, I'm here for you.

00:35:04What I'm trying to do is to really help the designers hone in their vision so that there's continuity between all the models, and it's a look that really works with their collections.

00:35:14So, my thing is called stereotype.

00:35:16What did you have in mind already?

00:35:18My makeup, I want to be very bleached out more than Alexander McQueen, but not so white star.

00:35:23A lot of the designers have their own ideas already, and so that's interesting and it's fun to work with.

00:35:29The concept of my collection, I'm calling it the thrill of the hunt, but I want them all to kind of convey a certain comfortableness with their own skin.

00:35:38Sure. If you will.

00:35:39Yeah, I think something as simple as a bold lip with a very neutral eye and a sculpted face would be very elegant and simple.

00:35:47And I wish I knew Jack about makeup, because whatever you just said, I'm like, whatever.

00:35:51Later, I'll show you.

00:35:52So, basically, this is the aviatrix, which is a cross between aviation and technology.

00:35:59What are you thinking?

00:36:00You can use a dark eye with not black, it could be a very smoky eye for each girl, and a color.

00:36:06You could bring in these bronze tones and all this earth tone.

00:36:10Smoky bronze, I love it.

00:36:11And then, actually, I can show you something on a model, so when we meet in a little while.

00:36:16How are you?

00:36:17Melissa, nice to meet you.

00:36:18Hey, Melissa.

00:36:19Julia.

00:36:20Hey, Julia.

00:36:21Hey, Jenny.

00:36:22We're going to start with something, a very simple eye, more of a very romantic, flushed cheek, and more of a bold mouth.

00:36:28Oh, wow.

00:36:29It could be really cool, like, this whole white feel, this whole white shimmery feel around the eye.

00:36:36So, we're going to create the smoky eye by just using a lighter, lighter shades than black.

00:36:43I am so grateful to you.

00:36:45Yeah, you're welcome.

00:36:46I just learned a lot.

00:36:47You look like a alien, man.

00:36:49It's fantastic.

00:36:50You look great.

00:36:51It's gorgeous.

00:36:52Yeah, good.

00:36:53You're welcome.

00:36:55And I can do it on Friday.

00:36:56Yeah, you will.

00:37:00Thank you, Dot House.

00:37:01I love you.

00:37:02I work with the designers of Dot House to make sure I had the proper shoes for my outfits.

00:37:08Can you imagine the amount of jealousy I have over this shoe delivery?

00:37:12I looked over at Carason's gorgeous, amazing handmade shoes and about had a heart attack because I need to find some shoes now.

00:37:21I think that that's my biggest problem right now.

00:37:23We're at Cotton Incorporated doing our model fittings.

00:37:27How are you?

00:37:28How are you?

00:37:29How are you?

00:37:30He looks like Buddha.

00:37:32Buddha.

00:37:33Jay?

00:37:34Yeah?

00:37:35Everything I intimated about the pants, I take back.

00:37:38Yeah, the pants are cool, right?

00:37:40Yeah, they're really cool.

00:37:41Is your idea that she's going to undo the belt and let the coat hang?

00:37:46Every single piece he's tried on, I feel myself like, wow, I really want to go and see it.

00:37:51I have great respect for him because when I look at his pieces, they have power for me.

00:37:59And I don't even like his pieces.

00:38:02I think that that is really what makes a designer because he's got some kind of computer up there.

00:38:09Oh, my God.

00:38:10It's pretty.

00:38:11It's carousan, though.

00:38:12Better than Gucci.

00:38:13I love it.

00:38:14Carousan's work, I see that she has used her usual materials of fur and leather.

00:38:22I'm not so sure it's an aesthetic that I respond to.

00:38:25What size is it?

00:38:26You're like a two-four, right?

00:38:27Yeah, we're getting there.

00:38:28Let's put the boots on.

00:38:30I love you in that.

00:38:32I don't know if it's socks or anything.

00:38:34It probably is.

00:38:35Do you have, like, any shoes or...?

00:38:36Let me just have you walk towards me on it.

00:38:38I think it fits.

00:38:41Wendy, I mean, her work is kind of clueless.

00:38:48It's kind of an older woman making what she thinks younger people want.

00:38:52I love it.

00:39:03Hi, everybody.

00:39:04I want you to know that the shoes from Michael Kors have arrived.

00:39:07Did you go through these?

00:39:08No.

00:39:09Are you getting shoes delivered, or are these your shoes?

00:39:11I mean, I have mine, but I'm just taking secondary pairs.

00:39:15So are you at all lenient about those shoes over there?

00:39:19Here.

00:39:20No, I mean, it's fine.

00:39:21I mean, it's one of us is going to use them.

00:39:23Okay.

00:39:24Walk.

00:39:25Let me see.

00:39:26You can walk okay in it?

00:39:27Yeah.

00:39:28Because I really don't want to shorten anything.

00:39:29The rhinestones are catching the dress.

00:39:31It's just, you have to be very careful, because this can run, because it's metal.

00:39:35Okay, take the shoes off.

00:39:36Take the shoes off.

00:39:37Okay, I'm going to have to get you smaller shoes.

00:39:39Hello?

00:39:40Hi, James.

00:39:41Hey, Karen.

00:39:42How you doing?

00:39:43I'm doing great.

00:39:44How are you?

00:39:45The problem with the rhinestone shoes?

00:39:47Uh-huh.

00:39:48The rhinestones are sticking to the silks and pulling.

00:39:52The only difficult part is the fact that these shoes were specially made.

00:39:56I know.

00:39:57For you, I have a cycle right there in my hand right now as I speak.

00:40:03Okay.

00:40:04That I can bring to you.

00:40:06All right, I'll talk to you soon.

00:40:07Okay, now.

00:40:08Bye.

00:40:09Bye-bye.

00:40:13Human, human, human.

00:40:16Well, I'm a very prompt person.

00:40:18I do not like to wait, and I don't like people who are late, because my time is valuable.

00:40:23Jay and Karasan have kind of a different temperament than me in that way.

00:40:30And they're busy chit-chatting.

00:40:32I take a shower every day.

00:40:34I take a shower every day.

00:40:38When do you know it's an elevator f***ing pulling her eyes out right now?

00:40:41So, come on.

00:40:44I just can't even begin.

00:40:46I tell you when I get a touch of it.

00:40:47I'm always ready on time, you know?

00:40:49I'm so stressed for time right now, and you're always late.

00:40:52Aw.

00:40:53And I'm the one who gets f***ed.

00:40:58Probably the biggest thing in my professional life is going to happen tomorrow.

00:41:04I've got to get going.

00:41:05I've got stuff to do.

00:41:07I've got some good $9 shoes.

00:41:09Did you really?

00:41:10Let me see.

00:41:11What do $9 shoes look like?

00:41:13Do we have any other choice?

00:41:15For shoes?

00:41:16Yeah.

00:41:17You know what?

00:41:18I don't really have a lot of choices.

00:41:20What do you think about these?

00:41:21I like this.

00:41:22All right.

00:41:23Try these.

00:41:24Oh my goodness.

00:41:25You know me.

00:41:26I make your service.

00:41:28You always come through for me.

00:41:31My goodness.

00:41:32These are beautiful.

00:41:33Look at this collection.

00:41:34Perfect.

00:41:35Perfect.

00:41:36Rubber cement on the inside.

00:41:39You want to try it and see?

00:41:40Yeah.

00:41:41Do you have time?

00:41:42Yeah, I have time.

00:41:43Sure.

00:41:44Take your foot off.

00:41:45Oh my God.

00:41:46Her friend James came in and was helping her out.

00:41:49I wish I could have had a friend come in and help me.

00:41:51Yeah, this would definitely save the snagging.

00:41:55James, he just wanted to do whatever.

00:41:58I mean, it was just small stuff.

00:41:59It's not like he was helping me design.

00:42:01She's got this guy in today.

00:42:03Like doing her for her.

00:42:04I don't have that.

00:42:05I do all my stuff myself.

00:42:08Coming up on Project Runway.

00:42:10It just shows how you're so morally corrupt.

00:42:14Wendy, don't talk to me.

00:42:15Finally, if something happens to Ms. Fuck Perfect.

00:42:27I just had this huge present waiting for me this afternoon

00:42:30because I knew that Finley was coming to the workroom.

00:42:33She is the most important thing for me.

00:42:35Hi.

00:42:36There is no question that when I looked up

00:42:38and I saw her in the door,

00:42:40I was just like, I have everything I need now.

00:42:42I have my clothes, I have my models,

00:42:44and now I have my Finley.

00:42:50Is there only three people left?

00:42:52Yes, there's three people left

00:42:54and I am one of them.

00:42:55And do you know who the other two are?

00:42:56Yeah.

00:42:57Who?

00:43:02I tell you, I just am so blown away by you all.

00:43:05Oh, thank you.

00:43:07You are something.

00:43:08Oh, thank you.

00:43:09You're something I'm just so impressed with all of you.

00:43:11Thank you, that's so nice.

00:43:13Wow.

00:43:14I've heard a lot about you and your granddaughter.

00:43:16The last person I would want in here right now is my mother.

00:43:21I'd be like, mother?

00:43:23Finn?

00:43:24How are you?

00:43:25This is Kara Song.

00:43:26Hi.

00:43:27Nice to meet you.

00:43:28All right, so do you want to come over and let's get to...

00:43:30let's do a little bit of work over here, yeah?

00:43:31Okay.

00:43:32I'm so glad to meet you.

00:43:33I am a great admirer.

00:43:34Nice to meet you.

00:43:36So, do I have to go all the way down and out to smoke?

00:43:37Oh, no, you can go right out here.

00:43:38Oh, yeah.

00:43:39All my friends in Washington, they're all totally hooked and they're hooked on you.

00:43:52Oh, great.

00:43:53The minute I saw you smoking on the show, I'm like, ah, my friend.

00:44:08Janet!

00:44:09What?

00:44:10I was just going to tell you, Wendy's daughter's here.

00:44:12I feel so bad.

00:44:13I just look at her, I see like a little Molly and it's really...

00:44:16Why do you feel bad?

00:44:17Because, like, I talk so much about Wendy, you know, but...

00:44:20She made her own bad.

00:44:21You can't help that.

00:44:22You wanted to dish it, but you can't take it.

00:44:25It's true, but Wendy's not that bad.

00:44:27You know what?

00:44:28I'm glad I got to have this week with Wendy because for as delusional as she is about her character

00:44:34on this show, it was good to see her with her family and with her daughter, and her daughter

00:44:39is adorable.

00:44:40Bye, honey.

00:44:41You guys have fun.

00:44:42Take care.

00:44:43Bye.

00:44:44Bye soon.

00:44:51Do you have all your shoes in?

00:44:52I'm thinking I do, but I haven't actually checked.

00:44:58Hey, Julia, it's Jay.

00:45:00I'm just calling to remind you to bring your black shoes for tomorrow.

00:45:03Shoes.

00:45:04I have only one chance.

00:45:05If you don't like them or they don't fit...

00:45:10Hi, John.

00:45:12I have a bit of a change with Maggie.

00:45:14Someone in her family passed away last night.

00:45:16Oh, no.

00:45:18So she had to get out of town, so it's not a very happy story.

00:45:21Oh, it's like everybody has done fittings but me.

00:45:26Everybody, can I ask you to gather around Jay for a minute?

00:45:30I want to talk to you about tomorrow.

00:45:32And how we're going to be presenting ourselves on the runway and the order.

00:45:37It's going to go Carason, Wendy, Jay.

00:45:41Okay?

00:45:42Okay.

00:45:43Great.

00:45:44Thanks, Jim.

00:45:45Carason.

00:45:46Can I ask you a question?

00:45:47Sure.

00:45:48How much did all the shoe stuff cost?

00:45:50No, no, no, no.

00:45:51I went to Dollhouse and I called James and I said, I really need shoes to match this.

00:45:58And so Dollhouse is doing this basically...

00:46:01Gratis?

00:46:02Yeah.

00:46:03When I first heard that Kara's shoes were provided as a favor by a major manufacturer like Dollhouse, it occurred to me that this could be a problem.

00:46:09She had designed them.

00:46:11She had them manufactured.

00:46:13But she had not paid for them.

00:46:15Um, they had the shoes made in China.

00:46:17Wow.

00:46:18You can tell they made the shoes because it's like perfect matches.

00:46:20I know.

00:46:21Jay, how are you doing?

00:46:22So you're doing this to your new fabric?

00:46:23Yeah, I added it already.

00:46:24Great.

00:46:25I'm working on getting this all shredded down to this kind of texture.

00:46:26Okay.

00:46:27These are too blocky.

00:46:28I wish I could help you.

00:46:29Well, maybe I could have invited a friend over to help me.

00:46:30Okay, I'm gonna see you tomorrow.

00:46:31Okay.

00:46:32Get a little bit of rest if you can.

00:46:33All right?

00:46:35Bye.

00:46:36Yes, carry on.

00:46:37Carry on.

00:46:38Hello?

00:46:39Hello?

00:46:40Hello?

00:46:41Hello?

00:46:42Hello?

00:46:43Hello?

00:46:44Hello?

00:46:45Hello?

00:46:46Hello?

00:46:47Hello?

00:46:48Hello?

00:46:49Hello?

00:46:50Hello?

00:46:51Hello?

00:46:52Hello?

00:46:53Hello?

00:46:54Hello?

00:46:55Hello?

00:46:56Hello?

00:46:57Hello?

00:46:58Hello?

00:46:59I'm good.

00:47:00Hi, Tim.

00:47:01Everyone showed up, and they look great in the outfit.

00:47:05What's that?

00:47:06Okay.

00:47:07Okay.

00:47:08Okay.

00:47:09It's really illegal to have done that.

00:47:10Finally, something happens to Miss Perfect.

00:47:13Ah, love it.

00:47:14Why?

00:47:15No.

00:47:16No.

00:47:17No.

00:47:18No.

00:47:19No.

00:47:20No.

00:47:21No.

00:47:22No.

00:47:23No.

00:47:24No.

00:47:25No.

00:47:26No.

00:47:27Love it.

00:47:28Why is that?

00:47:29Because we were, I don't understand.

00:47:31Everybody,

00:47:32The contract says that you can't have anything done

00:47:34gratis or for, as a favor that enhances the collection,

00:47:39and that the shoes do.

00:47:41I do have an issue with her right now.

00:47:43As far as I know, the contract stated that we couldn't have

00:47:47favors from friends, and she's not paying for these shoes.

00:47:50But see, then again, we got shoes for free from Michael Kors.

00:47:57So what's the difference?

00:47:59Those are not the shoes I would have custom

00:48:01designed for my collection.

00:48:02That's, but it's still free.

00:48:04You didn't pay for them.

00:48:04We all had access to the same shoes in that box.

00:48:07No, I'm saying, that's fine.

00:48:09But you still didn't pay for them, did you?

00:48:10No, OK.

00:48:11So anyway, let me finish talking to Tim.

00:48:13So unless everybody who got free shoes,

00:48:16those shoes cannot be counted.

00:48:17Jay, do you have shoes from Michael Kors?

00:48:20Jay has a pair of shoes from Michael Kors as well.

00:48:22Wendy and Jay had to pay for the shoes out of their budget

00:48:25or use the Michael Kors shoes, which were provided to all of you

00:48:28equally, which is an even playing field.

00:48:30You got your shoes for free as a favor.

00:48:33Frankly, if you would have had to pay full price for those shoes,

00:48:35you would have gone over your $8,000 budget.

00:48:38You wouldn't have been able to afford your lawn.

00:48:41I'm going to get on the phone with Dollhouse tonight

00:48:43and take care of it before the shoes go on the runway tomorrow.

00:48:47Bye.

00:48:48Bye.

00:48:50So listen, just listen very carefully and don't respond.

00:48:54I need you to do something for me tonight.

00:48:56So I need an invoice for all 12 pairs of shoes for every shoe that I'm using.

00:49:01I need it paid for and I need the receipt.

00:49:04At a good rate, of course, because I don't have much money left on my budget.

00:49:09That collection looked really expensive.

00:49:11So I'm thinking, how are you going to pay for those shoes?

00:49:13Some of the other designers went to a shoe store and got shoes for $5 a pair.

00:49:19So the shoes can be $10 a pair.

00:49:24That's fine.

00:49:25That's fine.

00:49:25So Carousel said, well, then I'll pay for them.

00:49:27So charge me $5 a shoe.

00:49:29I felt that that skirted the line of fairness in the competition.

00:49:35Do you have a problem with the shoe situation?

00:49:38Um, honestly, a little bit.

00:49:40A little bit, yeah.

00:49:41Why?

00:49:42Because it...

00:49:43I have a contract right here.

00:49:44I don't want it to come down to thinking that I'm unfair when I work really hard on my line.

00:49:50You can't fault me for being a professional.

00:49:52No.

00:49:53No, not at all.

00:49:54You can't fault me for having connections.

00:49:55Just because you have a relationship with someone doesn't justify the fact that you should

00:49:59get something for free.

00:50:00Anything that needed to be included in the collection was to come from that $8,000.

00:50:04We could get things knitted for us or specialty items, but you'd have to pay for them anyway.

00:50:09But, gee, look at your sweaters, man.

00:50:10That you came from.

00:50:11No, no, no.

00:50:12It's not a comparison thing.

00:50:13I designed, you know, this crocheted thing and someone made it for me.

00:50:16But I paid for their work.

00:50:18Right.

00:50:19Not so keen on how she handled the entire situation.

00:50:22It could not have had bigger lights flashing over it that's going, favor, favor, favor.

00:50:28Are you going to check with me now?

00:50:31No.

00:50:32Well, then, you know, allow me to state for the record that I think she's pulling a fast

00:50:38one.

00:50:39Had to speak my mind a little bit because I feel very maligned by the cast for my own actions.

00:50:44And yet here's somebody who just holds themselves in such high regard.

00:50:47You know, they're so proper.

00:50:49I just really thought that showed poor character.

00:50:51Wendy, don't talk to me.

00:50:53Well, I will talk to you because I'm going to tell you that...

00:50:55Wendy, I am getting ready for a show.

00:50:57I don't care what you have to say.

00:50:58I don't want to hear it.

00:50:59Jay and I shopping at the store for $5 shoes is hardly comparable to you custom designing

00:51:08your shoes and putting an arbitrary value of $5 on something that looks like your shoes.

00:51:14Just because you can't do it, Wendy, I did.

00:51:16I just heard you on the phone equate a shoe at a sample sale for $5 to a shoe you custom designed

00:51:24and had made to your specifications.

00:51:25You know what?

00:51:26If they want to...

00:51:27And that...

00:51:28If they want to sell to me for $5?

00:51:29My dear, is not fair or above board.

00:51:33Why, Wendy?

00:51:34Miss Perfect.

00:51:35If the company was...

00:51:36I just found her manner very entitled.

00:51:39It just shows how you're so f***ing morally corrupt and you walk around saying how...

00:51:43Wendy!

00:51:44You can try to make yourself look better...

00:51:45Other people are just all f***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing.

00:51:47But you're perfect.

00:51:48But it's okay for you to fudge when it works to your advantage.

00:51:52But God help anybody if they fudge for their advantage.

00:51:55And that is what drives me crazy about you.

00:51:57Wendy, sweetie.

00:51:58You can try to make yourself look better all you want.

00:52:01I'm not falling for it today, okay?

00:52:03I'm getting ready for my show.

00:52:05I'm not going to argue with you.

00:52:06I'm not going to fight with you.

00:52:08I'm done with you.

00:52:17Coming up on Project Runway.

00:52:19I want to welcome everyone to our final runway show.

00:52:24Everyone break a leg.

00:52:28This is the big day that we've all been waiting for.

00:52:42Fashion Week.

00:52:43Many, many, many years in the making.

00:52:46This is definitely the biggest turning point in my career as a fashion designer.

00:52:55If I win, that would be great.

00:52:57Because I would love to get it all out there.

00:52:59As far as jump-starting my fashion career, winning this thing is massive.

00:53:05I was nicknamed the Long Shot.

00:53:06I certainly feel like the Long Shot.

00:53:10But for me, that term has sort of tough fighting spirit.

00:53:17I need that today.

00:53:18I need to feel that I'm a fighter.

00:53:20I have a lot to prove today.

00:53:22I have a lot to prove today.

00:53:22When I first walked in this morning, walked into this room, which is, I guess, the tent, and it was white, and the chairs were set up, and the runway.

00:53:45It was very emotional for me.

00:53:47I don't think, you know, it really sunk in until I actually got to the space and got my blood pumping.

00:53:55When I got back at stage, it was intimidating for me.

00:54:08Okay, I, like, came in here, and I was like, it's like, you're in the headlights.

00:54:11And I saw this guy, and he just stood out to me.

00:54:13He just seemed to have all this presence.

00:54:16I just thought, I need to be like him.

00:54:18You gotta see this.

00:54:19This is a lot.

00:54:20I'm the long shot.

00:54:21I don't need to be used to it.

00:54:22And somehow, our little chat ended up with me switching shirts with him.

00:54:27Yay!

00:54:27Thank you, my God.

00:54:29Okay, thank you.

00:54:30This is Risen again.

00:54:32The receipt for the shoes?

00:54:33Yes, I have it in my face.

00:54:35Good.

00:54:35Don't have shoes.

00:54:37They charge me $15 per shoe.

00:54:39Carousel presented a magical receipt for these shoes, and I was a little dumbstruck.

00:54:45I thought $15 wouldn't cover the import tax on these shoes.

00:54:48Okay.

00:54:48My name's a model, not here.

00:54:52Okay.

00:54:52Have you seen Martinique?

00:54:53No, I haven't.

00:54:54Fuck, you know what I mean?

00:54:55She's kind of essential for me.

00:54:56Well, and Jay's missing seven girls.

00:54:58Get the hell out.

00:54:59Seven.

00:55:00I have them.

00:55:02Julia, why am I missing seven girls?

00:55:06Karen's not around.

00:55:08There she is.

00:55:09Yay!

00:55:10Yes!

00:55:11You made her.

00:55:12Now I have six.

00:55:13You have six, okay.

00:55:14It's getting better.

00:55:15One showed up.

00:55:16Yeah.

00:55:16But still, that's a lot.

00:55:17Yeah.

00:55:17Hi, great help.

00:55:23Hi, Lenora.

00:55:25Hi, Lenora.

00:55:27Dad.

00:55:27Hi, Lenora.

00:55:28Hi, Lenora.

00:55:29Hi, you're beautiful.

00:55:32Oh, my goodness.

00:55:33It's such a good feeling to see my mom and dad supporting me.

00:55:37And they were so excited for me.

00:55:40And they were just like, you're just a winner in our eyes.

00:55:43And that was just what I needed to hear.

00:55:46All right.

00:55:47All right.

00:55:48Okay.

00:55:52Hi.

00:55:52How's it to do?

00:55:53It's me.

00:55:54I'm really nervous.

00:55:55I have, like, two minutes.

00:55:56I have lots of stuff to do.

00:55:57It's fantastic to have my family see this because, you know, they don't, they're not those kind

00:56:02of people.

00:56:02They don't see this stuff ever.

00:56:05I'll see you after the show.

00:56:06Okay.

00:56:06Good luck.

00:56:06Okay.

00:56:07Good luck.

00:56:08Bye.

00:56:08So, listen, what I want you to know is we're really not trying to do a number on you.

00:56:13Okay.

00:56:13The producers are not going to accept $15 for those shoes.

00:56:16They're giving you three options.

00:56:18One is no shoes.

00:56:20The other is new shoes.

00:56:22The third is use the shoes that we tell the judges.

00:56:26The shoes can't factor into their overall evaluation of you.

00:56:30I'm being penalized for having good taste.

00:56:33No, you're being penalized for because of the...

00:56:36And for having shoes that look designer.

00:56:37No, you're being...

00:56:38Because everybody else had to buy a $9 shoe.

00:56:40No, but you're being penalized because of the terms and conditions of the contract that

00:56:43says no favors, you can't get things for free.

00:56:47For the producers, the price of $15 a pair is the same thing as zero.

00:56:51Okay.

00:56:52Then I'll do number three.

00:56:52Do number three.

00:56:53Okay.

00:56:54Okay?

00:56:54Okay.

00:56:54Great.

00:56:55Okay.

00:56:55Thank you, Tim.

00:56:56Thanks, Carason.

00:56:57There's only one option that I could really take, which was that the judges would not be

00:57:02able to judge the shoes and judge in my collection.

00:57:04Hey, you're here.

00:57:11You're here.

00:57:11So that takes it down to five that I need.

00:57:14Let's check on those headphones.

00:57:15Wow, this is fucking crazy.

00:57:18All right.

00:57:18Are you guys chit-

00:57:22One is crazy where?

00:57:24One broke.

00:57:25Two broke.

00:57:26Two broke.

00:57:27How do they break?

00:57:30They can't break.

00:57:32This is what I fucking expected.

00:57:33Oh, you're here.

00:57:56I thought you were never going to show up.

00:57:58The mood is kind of really casual.

00:58:19You know, nothing, none of this thing.

00:58:23Hate that.

00:58:24Really normal.

00:58:25Just like you're walking the street.

00:58:27None of this.

00:58:29Gross.

00:58:29No, just really like, really German.

00:58:32Think really German.

00:58:34Like, oh.

00:58:45Everyone break a leg.

00:58:49Hi, I want to welcome everyone to Project Runway, and this is our final runway show.

00:58:58This is our big finale, and our three designers have worked so very hard for this moment.

00:59:04I want to introduce our judges, Michael Kors, Nina Garcia, and Parker Posey.

00:59:19We have three really, really talented designers here, so enjoy the show.

00:59:30Thank you for coming.

00:59:38Hello.

00:59:39So, Fantasy Fly Girl, that is the name of my collection today.

00:59:51It's a cross between aviation and technology.

00:59:54I sort of took a page, a mental page, from Howard Hughes.

00:59:59You know, passion will make you crazy, but is there any other way to live?

01:00:02So, this collection holds everything that I love.

01:00:06So, I hope you enjoy the show.

01:00:09One, two, three, and...

01:00:24One, two, three, and...

01:00:41One, two, three, and...

01:00:43One, two, three, and...

01:00:44One, two, three, and...

01:00:46One, two, three, and...

01:01:09One, two, three, and...

01:01:11One, two, three, and...

01:01:16One, two, three, and...

01:01:30One, two, three, and...

01:01:32One, two, three, and...

01:01:49One, two, three, and...

01:01:51One, two, three, and...

01:02:01One, two, three, and...

01:02:18One, two, three, and...

01:02:20One, two, three, and...

01:02:22One, two, three, and...

01:02:39Everything that I came here for as far as Fashion Week came full circle with how I was hoping

01:03:02that this would end, and I'm very excited.

01:03:09Coming up on Project Runway.

01:03:26Hello, I'm Wendy Pepper, and as someone famously told me to mention, I am a mom from Virginia.

01:03:55But I have always dreamed of being a fashion designer, and this day is my dream come true.

01:04:03Thank you for sharing it with me, and enjoy.

01:04:36Je m'étais couragée, quelque chose m'a manqué, il aidait, m'a manqué, m'a manqué.

01:05:06Sous-titrage ST' 501

01:05:36Je m'étais couragée, quelque chose m'a manqué.

01:06:06Sous-titrage ST' 501

01:06:36The most incredible part about today for me is having Finley see my clothes on the runway.

01:06:59It's pretty special.

01:07:01Oh, je m'étais couragée, quelque chose m'a manqué, m'a manqué.

01:07:13I'm Jay, hopefully you know who I am.

01:07:34And I'm not really going to go into a spiel about my work.

01:07:38Why don't we just let it speak for itself?

01:11:20I love Carason.

01:11:21I thought she was really good.

01:11:22How she, you know, I thought it was hip.

01:11:23There was a bit of the bling bling thing.

01:11:25And the cuts were really good.

01:11:27It was innovative.

01:11:28I'm rooting for Jay.

01:11:30I really liked his collection the most.

01:11:32Carason was my favorite.

01:11:33And I think she's definitely going to win.

01:11:34I thought it was an excellent show.

01:11:36All of them were good.

01:11:37But Carason's was perfect.

01:11:39I think the pitch perfect show.

01:11:41Project Runway has just, it's been amazing.

01:11:44I feel great.

01:11:46It all worked out.

01:11:47It was the first time where it all made sense.

01:11:49Ever since October, it's been in pieces.

01:11:52Piles of fabric.

01:11:54Things laying on the floor.

01:11:55Things on hangers.

01:11:56And that was five minutes of just exactly what it needed to be.

01:12:04This is what the last six months has been about.

01:12:07This five minutes, 15 minutes of them going out on the runway.

01:12:11It's all these months.

01:12:13That's what it's about.

01:12:14It was so beautiful.

01:12:17I'm so proud of you.

01:12:19You can be a mom and do anything you want in this world.

01:12:21I would say that basically next to my lovely daughter, this is, after 40 years, the most

01:12:29important milestone for me to cross.

01:12:31The fact that I showed in New York City during Fashion Week when I was sewing in my basement

01:12:36six months ago is an astonishing feat.

01:12:39And I'm really proud of myself.

01:12:44Coming up on Project Runway.

01:12:46One of you will be the winner of Project Runway.

01:12:48You get overly complicated.

01:12:50The minute she turned that corner, man, you lost the whole truck.

01:12:53I thought it was an amazing show.

01:13:07I thought they did such a fantastic job.

01:13:10I loved it.

01:13:11Did you like it?

01:13:12I thought it was really great.

01:13:13You got to see their style.

01:13:14Yeah.

01:13:15For the first time, it was really just them, a whole collection like that.

01:13:18I loved it.

01:13:19Me too.

01:13:20And now, our designers.

01:13:39Designers, we're back at Parsons Design School and this is where it all began.

01:13:43This is going to be the hard part again.

01:13:46Elimination time.

01:13:47One of you will be the winner of Project Runway.

01:13:49The winner gets a one-year contract with Designers Management Agency,

01:13:53a company that represents the business interests of fashion designers.

01:13:58You will also win a fashion spread in El Magazine,

01:14:01a mentorship with Banana Republic Design Team,

01:14:04and $100,000 to start your own label.

01:14:07Before we bring out the models, I want to introduce yet again our judges.

01:14:12Michael Kouras.

01:14:13He's a design legend.

01:14:15Hey, guys.

01:14:16Congrats.

01:14:17Nina Garcia, fashion director of El Magazine.

01:14:19Hi, guys.

01:14:20And our third judge is one of the major stars of independent film, Parker Posey.

01:14:25She's seeing your designs today for the first time.

01:14:28Okay, let's bring out your models.

01:14:29Models, one of you will also be a winner today.

01:14:43The model who is associated with a winning designer will get that fashion spread in El Magazine.

01:14:49Okay, let's begin the questions.

01:14:50I want to ask you, Jay, tell me about the fabrics you chose, because I noticed there was a lot of knits in your collection.

01:14:59Yeah.

01:15:00I mean, there was the aqua poncho.

01:15:02That was crocheted for me.

01:15:03I hand beaded it.

01:15:04And the quilting and...

01:15:06I did all the quilting.

01:15:08Ugh.

01:15:09Horrible.

01:15:10Do you like that?

01:15:11I love quilting.

01:15:12I mean, I wanted that kind of tradition, nostalgia quilt look.

01:15:17That's a part of my history, you know?

01:15:19My sister's quilted, so...

01:15:20For me, it was very fashion forward and very new.

01:15:23You end up dyeing a lot of these fabrics yourself?

01:15:25Not this.

01:15:26But a lot, but some of them.

01:15:28I did a lot of dyeing.

01:15:29I mean, all the gloves and all that stuff was dyed.

01:15:31I think that it's a little matchy-matchy DTM, a little dyed to match, we call it.

01:15:38And when she comes out, you get the quick emotional rush of, my God, she's fuchsia.

01:15:44She's pink.

01:15:45And I think that in some of these pieces, I lost the work.

01:15:49Hmm.

01:15:50Sometimes I do think you get overly complicated.

01:15:54Like the...

01:15:55I think it was the mauve, zipper, jacket.

01:15:58Uh, lavender.

01:15:59Lavender.

01:16:00Hmm.

01:16:01But we notice everything.

01:16:05Wendy, maybe you can tell our judges what your inspiration was and what your idea was on your collection.

01:16:11You know, I live in the country, and so I just went outside from, like, morning to night.

01:16:16And, you know, it was fall.

01:16:18I saw the leaves falling, and I saw the grass changing color.

01:16:22And these things really made me want to make a collection, primarily for me, that was just full of texture.

01:16:29So, you're a mom.

01:16:31You live in the country.

01:16:33Was this about you as a woman?

01:16:37These clothes were demure, but a little bit suggestive where they needed to be.

01:16:41Well, you had one thing that was definitely not demure.

01:16:43You had an entirely see-through blouse.

01:16:45I just thought it was really out... it was out of step for you because I saw where you were going.

01:16:51It was autumnal.

01:16:52It was you.

01:16:53And then, all of a sudden, I got boobies, and I was like, what's going on with the boobies?

01:16:58Even if you were 25 and a size 2, you wouldn't want to wear that.

01:17:01I don't know if it was personal.

01:17:04You know, I think you're a good tailor, and you know how to make clothes fit a body.

01:17:07I mean, listen, you tailored charmeuse.

01:17:10It's like trying to tailor a Kleenex.

01:17:12So, I know you can pull that off.

01:17:14Some of it, to me, was more successful from a professional point of view.

01:17:18But I think that you weren't able to concentrate on one category and make that category the best.

01:17:27Cara, I'm just curious.

01:17:29You mentioned Howard Hughes.

01:17:30So, the aviator, was that meaningful to you?

01:17:32Yeah, it was.

01:17:33Not so much the 30s, but the passion that he had for his art.

01:17:38The drive.

01:17:39He kept on saying rivets, you know, and just going over the fabric and going over my detail, my design, saying, like, rivets, rivets.

01:17:45Like, it's how important it is for the cut and the design of it.

01:17:48Was this very personal for you?

01:17:50It really was.

01:17:51I always, like, the sexiness of it, I always love to interpret that into anything I do.

01:17:57What was your biggest challenge?

01:17:58Getting the type of fit that I like.

01:18:00Like, the metallic leathers, I wanted them to look like silk.

01:18:04A lot of leather, a lot of fur.

01:18:06Yeah, and a lot of glamour and a lot of fur.

01:18:08I mean, some of these dresses, I felt, could be worn to the Oscars or to, like, you know, they're really, like, thoughtful and provocative.

01:18:16And she's not glued into it.

01:18:18I mean, I've got to say that, like, you really, you understand someone's body.

01:18:25And that came across loud and clear in everything that walked out from you.

01:18:30On this dress, what's going on here, it's so, I mean, it's Gucci.

01:18:36I was thinking it, and then all of a sudden, that came out on the dress, and I was like, oh, my God.

01:18:42I really, in my line, did things that I've been doing for years.

01:18:46I was disappointed to feel so much Gucci in this.

01:18:49And it wasn't just those bits.

01:18:51I have to agree with Michael.

01:18:52I mean, down to the color.

01:18:54Down to the fur.

01:18:55It's things that, honestly, I've been doing for years.

01:18:58And it's not things that, you know, I'm trying to take from the designers.

01:19:01You had one other thing that I was perplexed by.

01:19:02Out comes Leticia Burkhauer, one of the best models in the business.

01:19:07She can walk in anything, and you give her a dress that she can't move in.

01:19:13The minute she turned that corner, man, you lost the whole dress.

01:19:18Designers, models, thank you.

01:19:19You can leave the runway.

01:19:20I'm going to call you back soon.

01:19:21Thanks, guys.

01:19:22I think I had a mixed up collection.

01:19:38It's fresh.

01:19:39I mean, they're going to have their opinions, but I know I think it's cool.

01:19:43That's the point of having your own style.

01:19:46I tried my best.

01:19:48I love my clothes.

01:19:49Now, whether or not the judges even felt it had aesthetic value, I cannot control that.

01:19:54I can only do my best job.

01:19:58Something positive and negative was said about everybody.

01:20:02So, at this point, you don't know how they're judging.

01:20:05Are they judging on this one day?

01:20:07Are they judging on overall?

01:20:09The only thing I'm hoping is that they will consider the overall and the fact that it was consistent.

01:20:19So, this is the final one.

01:20:20What do you guys think?

01:20:21I'm very torn.

01:20:22I think it's between Jay and Cara for me.

01:20:28For me, it's a combination of I want to see something that's original, that tells me something about that designer.

01:20:34And then also, I want to leave curious about what can I expect from them, you know, coming up.

01:20:40How about Wendy's line?

01:20:42Did she go over expectations?

01:20:44Well, let's be honest.

01:20:45I mean, I think that she's got one thing that everyone in the fashion industry needs to have.

01:20:50She's tenacious.

01:20:51That's for sure.

01:20:52I think that, you know, she's too interested in listening to what we all have to say.

01:20:56And I think that, again, you've got to listen to your own heartbeat.

01:20:59And with one ear open, listen to what people have to say.

01:21:02You could really see, like, Jay and Cara.

01:21:08They thought about it.

01:21:09They thought about it.

01:21:10It was really like they were doing their best, trying to put all their most amazing things together.

01:21:14And it was coming from them.

01:21:15What I like about Jay, there's, like, some irony there.

01:21:19It's fun.

01:21:20It's colorful.

01:21:21And it doesn't take itself too seriously.

01:21:24I completely agree.

01:21:25It's so artistic, and it was so...

01:21:27Not from an outside source.

01:21:28Right.

01:21:29There's something in him that I think he has the depth to do more.

01:21:33It's almost kind of like because he lives in this small town in Pennsylvania, he's just doing what he feels in his gut.

01:21:40What was your absolute favorite about Cara-san?

01:21:45You know, her clothes are perfect.

01:21:47They're perfectly done.

01:21:48She's consistent.

01:21:49I have liked a lot of the things that she has done.

01:21:51I did too.

01:21:52It was a beautiful show, and really they were all tailored and made so well.

01:21:56Complicated.

01:21:57Well, she's also very professional.

01:21:59Very professional.

01:22:00Totally.

01:22:01She doesn't lose her cool.

01:22:02Articulate.

01:22:03It's something that one-on-one, like, I can just see her with a client.

01:22:06She's upbeat.

01:22:07She's got all that kind of stuff, which is great when you're dealing with a one-on-one customer, too.

01:22:14I do think she works incredibly well, and her clothes always look perfect, and that's where I'm having a very big problem in deciding between these two.

01:22:28So we feel good with our decision?

01:22:30Yeah.

01:22:31We feel very strong?

01:22:32I...

01:22:33Because this is it.

01:22:34I know.

01:22:35One of the designers.

01:22:36One of you is about to be named the winner of Project Runway.

01:22:52One of you is about to be named the winner of Project Runway.

01:23:19Wendy, you can be very proud of yourself.

01:23:36We all thought you did an amazing job.

01:23:38We feel that your line definitely has commercial appeal, but it lacks the level of consistency that the other two have.

01:23:45You're out.

01:23:51You did a great job.

01:24:09But does that mean you're still in?

01:24:11Well, I'm still in with you, right?

01:24:13You know, it's devastating.

01:24:14You know, it's devastating.

01:24:15I mean, you don't get to this level of a competition and think you're going to lose.

01:24:19But it was an honor to be there.

01:24:21And, you know, I'm going to keep trying.

01:24:23We certainly tried our hardest.

01:24:25No two people could have tried harder.

01:24:26No.

01:24:27I'm going home and I'm going to open up my very first Wendy Pepper shop.

01:24:32I've always wanted to have my own shop because people can come visit me and really experience what it is that I do.

01:24:40Because I do feel it's unique.

01:24:48Final two.

01:24:51Jay.

01:24:54Carason.

01:24:56One of you will be the winner of Project Runway.

01:25:01And one of you will be out.

01:25:06Jay.

01:25:09Your line was wonderful.

01:25:10It was artistic.

01:25:11It was out there.

01:25:13It was you.

01:25:18Carason.

01:25:20Your design was amazing.

01:25:22And your execution was flawless.

01:25:25It was beautiful.

01:25:26Jay.

01:25:27Congratulations.

01:25:28You are the winner of Project Runway.

01:25:30We felt that Jay has an original voice and we really believe he's the next great American designer.

01:25:35What?

01:25:36That's nutty.

01:25:37Nutty, nutty.

01:25:38Nutty, nutty, nutty.

01:25:39Carason, you did an amazing job.

01:25:40We love what you did.

01:25:41And you're going to go far.

01:25:45Thank you, Carason.

01:25:47Thank you, Carason.

01:25:50Thank you, Carason.

01:25:54Thank you, Carason.

01:25:57Thank you all.

01:25:58It was a very hard choice, guys.

01:25:59It's okay.

01:26:00It's okay.

01:26:01I am disappointed.

01:26:02You know, I work really hard for this and I think that I have to just sort of go on

01:26:06faith and know that, you know, regardless of what happens here, it doesn't change my path

01:26:09in life.

01:26:10It's okay.

01:26:11It's okay.

01:26:12It's okay.

01:26:13You know, I work really hard for this and I think that I have to just sort of go on faith

01:26:29and know that, you know, regardless of what happens here, it doesn't change my path in life.

01:26:35It's okay.

01:26:36I know.

01:26:37I know.

01:26:38It's just been a long road.

01:26:40I would have loved for my parents to see me win, but to have, you know, most of my family

01:26:47here, to witness my first A.B. show, it was just amazing.

01:26:52It was amazing and this is something that we'll all just always remember at this time

01:26:57right now.

01:26:58This is really happening to me, really.

01:27:01You know what?

01:27:02Remember the moment.

01:27:03It's a great moment.

01:27:04Seize it.

01:27:05You're at a loss for words for once.

01:27:09And Julia is a winner too.

01:27:12She has a fashion spread in Elle magazine.

01:27:15Congratulations.

01:27:17Mwah.

01:27:18Congrats.

01:27:20Mom.

01:27:21When Heidi said that I won Project Runway, I could not formulate words.

01:27:26A total surprise to me, total shock, and I still haven't really even processed it.

01:27:30You know, like, I'm the winner.

01:27:33I'm a winner.

01:27:35I'm so happy.

01:27:36This is not happening to me.

01:27:41It's happening.

01:27:42The show is great.

01:27:44What are you going to do now?

01:27:45Have a cigarette.

01:27:47This has really been great for me because I've held onto a lot of insecurity for a long

01:27:52time in my life.

01:27:53And I've gained a huge amount of confidence from this.

01:27:57Yeah.

01:27:58Yeah.

01:27:59After all those long hours.

01:28:00I always had this vision and now I get to share it with the world.

01:28:03Like, I feel like I can conquer the world now.

01:28:06And I'm gonna.

01:28:07Damn it.
