00:00This season on Project Runway.
00:04I'm back!
00:07Your look walk out.
00:08I was like, the cervix is dilated and she's crowning.
00:12No tea, no shade, no pink lemonade.
00:15It's fashion's pierces competition.
00:18You have to bring it.
00:19It really is pushing the boundaries of fashion.
00:22She's badass and flirty at the same time.
00:25This is special.
00:26You have done something that a lot of people cannot do.
00:31And that is to shut me up.
00:33With designers that will stop at nothing to win.
00:36You're the most untalented designer.
00:41Done.
00:42Shut up.
00:42Oh shit.
00:43We're in fashion, supposed to be competitive.
00:45I'm gonna fight to be here.
00:46She is drama.
00:48It's gonna be cutthroat.
00:50Judges who aren't afraid to be brutally honest.
00:52No one would wear that outfit.
00:54The dress was a complete mess.
00:57Is that inspiring?
00:58I don't know how to handle this.
01:00Ugh!
01:00I'm not gonna do.
01:01I do not come to look at a bunch of ugly clothes.
01:04This is unwearable.
01:05This is so weird.
01:06It's a new house with new rules.
01:09Alright designers, that's time.
01:11You are still sewing?
01:12Mmm.
01:13I wanna go home.
01:14Are you nuts?
01:15I want this so bad.
01:16Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
01:19Ah!
01:20I wanna be on top.
01:21In fashion, one day you're in, and the next day, you're out.
01:27For 12 designers, this is a chance of a lifetime.
01:31At stake for the winner is $200,000.
01:34Six months of representation from Agent 3 PR.
01:38A spread in Elle magazine.
01:40And a life-changing mentorship with the CFDA.
01:43This is Project Runway.
01:45That's on my eyes, on me.

02:33I'm Ethan.
02:34But you may recognize me as Utica from RuPaul's Dry Grease.
02:38You think I can eat that?
02:39Yeah, you can cue on it.
02:41Girl, this is crystals.
02:42Oh, we got another one!

02:47Vijay.
02:48I'm Joseph McCray.
02:49Hi, Joseph.
02:50No, no, no. You got to say that first and then, so...
02:52Hi!

03:13Hola!
03:14Hi!
03:15Bitches, I am back.
03:17Jesus, nice to meet you.
03:18I'm Jesus Estrada from Project Runway Season 7.
03:22I'm so excited!
03:24Jesus, we are concerned about your taste level.
03:27I was a baby.
03:28I was 21 years old.
03:30I'm 36 now.
03:31Hola!
03:32Back then, I didn't know who I was as a designer.
03:34Now, coming back, I know my DNA.
03:37I have a very successful business.
03:39So, Heidi has nothing to worry about this time around, about my taste level.
03:44I'm gonna win, just so you know.
03:46So, I hope you bitches are ready.
03:47Yes.
03:48What is going on?
03:50Yeah!
03:51I'm VJ.
03:52I'm Joan.
03:53Nice to meet you.
03:54Joan, nice to meet you, Joan.
03:55Hey, guys!
03:56Hey!
03:57Hey, what's up?
03:58Hi!
03:59My name is Yuchen.
04:00Hi!
04:03My name is Kasey Black.
04:05I was on Season 19 of Project Runway, and I left on Episode 1.
04:12I'm like, cry laughing.
04:14Kasey, you are out.
04:16Being eliminated in the first challenge, I didn't get to show who I was as a person,
04:21as a designer, as an artist.
04:23So, I'm just hoping to prove who I am.
04:25Hi!
04:26Hi!
04:27Hi!
04:28Hi!
04:29Hi!
04:30Hi!
04:31Hi!
04:32Honey, you look like you're ready.
04:33I mean, born ready, baby, okay?
04:35Yeah!
04:36Oh, shit, bitch!
04:37Are you guys ready to double the travel?
04:41Is that my twin brother?
04:43Oh, my God!
04:44Oh, my God!
04:45Bitch!
04:46Oh, no!
04:47Oh, my God!
04:48There's another one.
04:51The Estrada did not come to plan.
04:53Let them meet the winner.
04:55Wait, this one's my side, no?
04:58They want me here, though.
05:00You're gonna tell them that you want this side?
05:02Yeah, that's my side.
05:03Is that gonna be a fight?
05:05Hi, I'm Antonio Estrada.
05:06I'm the winner of Project Runway Season 21, and this is the first runner-up.
05:10Bitch!
05:11I'm kidding.
05:13What's he on Season 21?
05:14No.
05:15Okay, okay.
05:16This is his first time.
05:17I waited 15 years.
05:18We're here.
05:19Yes.
05:20There you go.
05:21And I always knew I wanted to do fashion.
05:23It was my dream to be on Project Runway, not my brother.
05:26Instead, my brother went in before me, so.
05:28But I never felt like I was living in his shadow.
05:32I'm talented.
05:33I'm excited to showcase my own creations.
05:36Give me my own vision, my own style outside of my brother.
05:39I'm here to win.
05:406, 7, 8.
05:41We're done.
05:42We're done.
05:43We're done.
05:44Yeah, 12.
05:45Ah!
05:46There you go!
05:47Ah!
05:48Yeah!
05:49Woo!
05:50Welcome home, mama!
05:52Yes!
05:53Yes!
05:54Woo!
05:55Yes!
05:56Designers, welcome to Project Runway.
05:59I can't believe I'm saying this again.
06:00This is so exciting.
06:01I'm your host, Heidi Klum.
06:03Heidi one!
06:04Woo!
06:05Yes!
06:06This is truly a magical place where dreams do come true.
06:10And no one knows this more than the world-renowned designer and icon next to me, Christian Siriano!
06:17Woo!
06:18Yes!
06:19I'm good.
06:20So you want to know your first challenge?
06:21Absolutely.
06:22Not me.
06:23Okay, if you ask any designer where they first fell in love with fashion, I think one answer
06:33comes up more than any other.
06:35The Disney princess.
06:36Ooh!
06:37The princesses have inspired so many designers for decades.
06:42And as you know, behind every powerful princess...
06:46There's something lurking.
06:48Ooh!
06:49The Disney villains.
06:51Yes!
06:52Not only were they scary, but they were fabulously evil.
06:57Okay, designers, we're in a new home with new rules.
07:02So for your first challenge, you will be forming fashion houses.
07:07Woo!
07:08Heidi, what are you doing to us?
07:10One house will be house of princess, while the other will be the house of villains.
07:16Mwah!
07:17I know.
07:18Please stand on the side that your work is on.
07:21Right here.
07:22Right here.
07:23Oh my god.
07:24Your house is the house of princess.
07:26Okay!
07:27Okay!
07:28I don't want to sew in all black.
07:29Yeah, me neither!
07:30That makes you house of villains.
07:32Each house must create a cohesive collection.
07:35That's C word.
07:36For the very first runway show...
07:39At the Enchanted United Palace.
07:41Ooh!
07:42Ooh!
07:43We only have one day to create this look.
07:47Whew!
07:48You guys have 45 minutes to brainstorm, to sketch, and then you run off to Mood to get your fabric.
07:54Woo!
07:55Oh god!
07:56I'm so happy to be here, and I can't believe I'm saying this again.
08:00I'll see you on the runway!
08:01Woo!
08:02Love you, Heidi.
08:03What's happening?
08:04I am having a moment of PTSD because my first challenge in season 19 was a group challenge.
08:18And now I'm in season 21, and it's also a group challenge.
08:22I'm getting hives.
08:24I'm sweating.
08:25I'm like having panic attacks.
08:28I cannot be eliminated first.
08:31Not again.
08:32Okay.
08:33Here we go, guys.
08:34Okay.
08:35All right.
08:36Our first challenge is a group challenge, so we have to sketch and figure out what we're
08:45gonna have going on so we can bring these princess looks to life.
08:49It is game on.
08:50Let's go.
08:51What's that one thing that can thread all the collection?
08:54I think it's gonna come down to the fabric selection.
08:57Fabric.
08:58I definitely got inspired by Ursula, and since I have a delicious, curvaceous girl as a
09:05model, I want to do a powerful suit, fit it all the way below the knee, and then it's
09:10gonna go out.
09:11I want to make sure her body looks like snatch.
09:13I think a villain has a good cape.
09:16Yeah.
09:17And if I can switch up the idea of having a cape, would we like that?
09:20Yes.
09:21I grew up on a farm.
09:23When I created Utica, it was a conduit for my queer artistic energy because back on the
09:29farm, I am the gay community.
09:31I'm the mayor of Queerville.
09:34I mostly do these one-of-a-kind bespoke pieces for my community, but not everybody wants
09:41to ready-to-wear drag outfit, so I'm worried about that.
09:45It could get too costumey if I don't do it right.
09:49Oh.
09:50It has to be cohesive.
09:52We should think of a theme, like a color palette.
09:55I work with my brother 24-7, so if I can win this for myself, it's proving myself.
10:01I'm excited to intimidate the other designers.
10:04And I'm excited to intimidate my brother.
10:06The color palette's bright right into that.
10:08The fabric that I brought from home, it's literally that fabric, the butterfly, but it's
10:13in pink, and it has orange-y tones.
10:17The butterflies are blue.
10:19So let's have the inspiration of our collection be butterfly.
10:22I think this doesn't do it.
10:24So butterfly.
10:25Butterfly, yes.
10:26Cool.
10:27Yes.
10:28Um, okay.
10:29Butterfly fabric is not going on my design.
10:32I'm really sorry.
10:33I don't know if it's giving princess.
10:35It's just not my style.
10:37So show me how you do it.
10:39My name is Madeline.
10:41My design point of view is inspired by historical fashion.
10:45I like collars.
10:46I like poofy sleeves.
10:48I like pants.
10:51I got to see this fabric, because if it doesn't speak to me, I'm not using it.
10:55That's fine.
10:56You know, it's crazy.
10:57We're agreeing to this fabric that we've never seen.
11:00All right, guys.
11:01Here we go.
11:04I am not feeling it.
11:07My name is Joan Madison.
11:10I'm years old.
11:12I'm a seasoned designer.
11:14I've worked in the garment industry.
11:16I've owned and operated my own bridal shop for the last 20 years.
11:20So this is my time, and I'm not here to use basic butterfly fabric.
11:25You know, I'm here to show them who's the queen.
11:28I feel like I want brighter.
11:29I want brighter, too.
11:30Yeah.
11:31Yeah.
11:32Antonio's butterfly fabric, it was pretty cool to me.
11:35But I already knew that I was going to do what I wanted to do.
11:38Anyways, so...
11:41Are you going to pull something from here?
11:43I don't even know.
11:45For me, the butterflies reprincess.
11:47But if they don't yet, they're crazy.
11:49Let's go.
11:50Jump into the good life.
11:51Open it to my life.
11:52All right, designer.
11:53$600 each.
11:5445 minutes to shop.
11:55Okay, go.
11:56Joseph McCray.
11:57Joseph McCray.
11:58You got to say the first with the last.
11:59Joseph McCray, you got to say the first with the last.
12:00You got to say the first with the last.
12:01No, this is too purple.
12:02Everybody's using this print.
12:03No, I'm the only one.
12:04But they all make sense.
12:05We got sequin.
12:06We have velvet.
12:07We've got your print.
12:08We have tulle.
12:09Our team had a plan coming into this.
12:11But now we're running around the store, chicken with his head cut off.
12:14I'm like.
12:15And now we've got tweed.
12:16I don't know what's happening.
12:17Patricia, this is 2025, baby.
12:18Okay.
12:19Listen, I work in 2025.
12:20I'm doing okay.
12:21Come, come, come, come.
12:22Villain team.
12:23Can I please have you and beat it please?
12:24We have to have a meeting right now.
12:25I've played this game before.
12:26And I think at this point, I know what it takes.
12:27And if someone has to take control, I think that person's going to be me.
12:28Great idea.
12:29Let's meet.
12:30Make sure it makes sense together.
12:31We're running around the store.
12:32We're running around the store.
12:33Chicken with his head cut off.
12:34I'm like.
12:35And now we've got tweed.
12:36I don't know what's happening.
12:37Patricia, this is 2025, baby.
12:38Okay.
12:39Listen, I work in 2025.
12:40I'm doing okay.
12:41Come, come, come, come.
12:42Villain team.
12:43Can I please have you and beat it please?
12:44We have to have a meeting right now.
12:45I played this game before.
12:46And I think at this point, I know what it takes.
12:49If someone has to take control, I think that person's going to be me.
12:51Great idea.
12:52Let's meet.
12:53Make sure it makes sense together.
12:56I need to get lining.
12:57So I'll be back.
12:58Okay.
12:59Lining?
13:00Lining.
13:01Okay.
13:02Yeah.
13:03Okay.
13:04Vijay is in her own bubble.
13:05She needs to be a team player.
13:07I don't know.
13:08My team is going everywhere.
13:09So I haven't been able to get them here.
13:11No meeting.
13:12Hope it looks good.
13:17Fiddling, fiddling.
13:18Yeah.
13:21Did I cut enough?
13:22Can we sing Disney songs?
13:34It's a good thing that's not her day job.
13:38That fabric is gorgeous.
13:40Take it, take off the file.
13:41Yeah, right?
13:42Don't you think?
13:43Yeah.
13:44That's gorgeous.
13:45I know.
13:46I think so too.
13:47In season 19, I had a lot of ideas.
13:49It was really hard for me to edit down.
13:51And I lost track of time.
13:53I don't want that to happen again.
13:54So this challenge, I just think Sleeping Beauty and tulle ball gown.
13:59I'm going to play with layers of tulle that I'm pan fleeting.
14:04Shabck.
14:05OK, well that's great.
14:06There's going to be an omg a little PCR all at a minute and that's amazing.
14:07finalement, look that like this worked for me to be a center to see my smile at me all.
14:08Okay.
14:09So Kasey, she has noticed that it's a cool bit while at her.
14:10Say it to her.
14:11Oh well.
14:12Okay.
14:13Well, welcome back going up once again.
14:14V.J. had she.
14:15Let me go.
14:16More months later.
14:17We're gonna show you a film.
14:18monarch version.
14:19Project Runway season 21.
14:23My name is Vijay Floresca.
14:25Aside from being a fashion designer,
14:27I used to be a beauty queen.
14:32Here's my pageant wave.
14:35I was second runner-up in Project Runway Philippines
14:38season one and first runner-up in Dress My Tour.
14:42Being in those competitions will help me
14:45to finally win this competition.
14:47No more runner-ups, but to win the competition.
14:51How's it going, Diva?
14:53This one, this one.
14:58I can't really get a read on Vijay.
15:00This is a team challenge,
15:02and you have to be a little receptive
15:04to other people's critique and interest
15:06in what you're doing.
15:07She really is in her own zone,
15:09and to us, it seems like she's being an asshole.
15:17I know that I'm priceless, yeah, I can't even hide it.
15:21I know what you want, I know you like it.
15:23Let's do it.
15:25Let's get this party.
15:27Party!
15:28Get back to work.
15:31Color palettes coming together.
15:32Yeah.
15:33And that transition couldn't be any more perfect.
15:35I'm feeling like my team is a winning team,
15:38and I guess you can call me the team leader
15:40just because they actually fell in love with the fabric
15:42that I wanted to use for this challenge.
15:44But, you know, I'm a Turner Strada.
15:46I can make anyone fall in love with anything.
15:49I think we're doing it, you guys.
15:50I think we're doing it, you guys.
15:51House of Princess.
15:52It's a lot of pink.
15:53It's a lot of ruffles,
15:54and there's some butterflies in there.
15:57It's not my flavor.
15:58I'm glad I'm not on Team Princess.
16:01Yeah, I hate it as well.
16:07Hey, Vijay, how you doing?
16:09Huh?
16:10I think there's some people in my team
16:12that are not being team players.
16:15Vijay's energy is very standoffish.
16:18It's a bit cheap.
16:19Why you don't have a machine?
16:21Where's your machine?
16:22Girl, these are all of our machines.
16:23No, I mean, like, that was the one that I'm using.
16:25Okay, well, I can use it too.
16:26Which one is the one that you were using?
16:28I'm using all of them
16:29because we're all using all of them.
16:30I'm almost done.
16:31So you don't have, like, one of them?
16:32No!
16:33Like, everybody's using all of them.
16:34Come on, girl.
16:38You just decide to be lazy
16:40and not thread your own machine.
16:41This girl.
16:42The fight for the machine begins.
16:44Girl, relax.
16:45Like, you don't own the machines.
16:48You're using Black 3, honey?
16:49I am as well.
16:50So...
16:51Which better not start?
16:53I don't like that shit.
16:54This is competition.
16:56We're not here to meet friends.
16:58We're here to win this.
16:59And I think maybe he just wants to distract me.
17:02I'm not gonna give him that power.
17:04I'm just gonna ignore it.
17:05See, this is my villain-in-law.
17:07Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:09You don't want to be in our bed tight.
17:10No, bitch.
17:14Got my eyes on you.
17:17Hello.
17:18Martini!
17:19How are you?
17:20Hey!
17:21There's a lot going on in here.
17:23Yes, it is.
17:27Casey.
17:28Yes.
17:29Hi.
17:30Hi.
17:31I already need a martini.
17:32All right.
17:33What's happening?
17:34She'll be like a cake dress and the flowers.
17:37She's a cake.
17:38I'm just thinking, you know, there's ways to make this feel a bit more modern and cool.
17:44Okay.
17:45Like, maybe this tool is in here and it's more of a tool overlay somewhere.
17:49Mm-hmm.
17:50The proportions and the fit will be important here.
17:53Yeah.
17:54The waist.
17:55Okay.
17:56For sure.
17:57There's just so many things you could do to make this feel really cool and interesting.
17:59Oh, no.
18:00I have done a waist like this before and I love asymmetrical.
18:04I do a lot of asymmetrical.
18:06So, I don't want to give that up.
18:08I think it's going to be gorgeous.
18:10Okay.
18:11Good luck.
18:14Wow.
18:15This is a little number.
18:17The Joseph McCray puffer.
18:19Beautiful shape.
18:20I like to play with shape a lot.
18:21Yeah.
18:22I have a degree in electrical engineering.
18:23I think the engineering has very heavily influenced my design aesthetic and you look at the structure
18:28and you look at the like silhouettes.
18:29So, I'm going to create a mean puffer jacket along with a wrap satin skirt in this midnight
18:36periwinkle upholstery fabric.
18:38People may not directly relate it to a princess, but listen, every princess need a jacket.
18:42I'm feeling low-key Tinkerbell for real, for real.
18:44Making these cohesive is still part of the challenge.
18:47Don't just make a fabulous look for you.
18:49I know you don't want to listen.
18:51This is a skin situation, but.
18:53Wait, that's all out?
18:55No, it's not.
18:56Wait.
18:57Wait.
18:58This is Disney.
19:00I know.
19:01I know.
19:02Where are my pearls?
19:07Antonio.
19:08What is happening over here?
19:10So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to do this bubble dress laced up in the back.
19:13And then I want to do a coat over it with these two different colored tools all over the coat.
19:19So, it will be like a reveal.
19:21You're making kind of two dresses that you might not finish.
19:26Why can't this piece just be the moment?
19:28But this one's done already.
19:29I'm just waiting for my model.
19:30It's done because literally like my intern could sew that in 30 minutes.
19:34Like that's not hard.
19:37What?
19:38What?
19:39What the ?
19:40Don't lose it completely.
19:41But like what else could this be?
19:43Could it have sculpture?
19:44Could it have some other element that anyone else has?
19:47Something's got to be cohesive.
19:48Like don't you think the butterfly thing is because of you, right?
19:53Yeah.
19:54Okay.
19:55So then you got to be amazing.
19:57I won't let you down.
19:59I feel like he kind of just like slapped me in the face.
20:02He was like, my intern can make that in 30 minutes.
20:05I'm like, okay.
20:06I'm a Gemini.
20:07I don't take critiques.
20:08I take critiques very like, don't tell me what to do.
20:11But I'm going to step it up.
20:13Step me up.
20:14No.
20:20Yuchun, what is your work normally like?
20:22My work is more like very futuristic.
20:24Okay.
20:25Very edgy and very avant-garde.
20:26So I think you should do that.
20:28Because this doesn't feel very futuristic.
20:30Okay.
20:31It doesn't feel that avant-garde.
20:32To be honest, I haven't made garments like this before.
20:35For my brand, I always like, you know, making ready-to-wear.
20:37It's always very futuristic.
20:39It's very powerful.
20:40I'm here to challenge myself.
20:42My inspiration for this look is from Taka.
20:45So I'm making this like tulle and lace dress with flowers and veins growing all over.
20:51And with a veil.
20:53Please don't be ugly.
20:54Okay.
20:55Thank you, Christian.
20:56Jesus.
20:57Yes?
20:58What's happening?
20:59I'm basically doing a powerful coat dress.
21:01All right.
21:02I also have another dress underneath.
21:04Right.
21:05So I think the challenge for you is how to make this feel more fashion, like something forward-thinking.
21:12I know in my head how the final product's gonna look.
21:16And I think it's elegant.
21:17Now it's about how to make this feel like really modern.
21:21You know?
21:22Yeah, yeah.
21:24Okay.
21:25I would love a tour of the brain.
21:27Well, we know that a villain loves a cape.
21:31I'm doing my version of a cape.
21:33Where the cape is gonna connect to the top of the head.
21:36Love it.
21:37And then clean, simple, classic underneath.
21:41Mm-hmm.
21:42So this is a pant and a top.
21:43Yep.
21:44Pant and a top.
21:45Then the twist.
21:46Oh, I love a twist.
21:47I will pattern in a curved glove pattern.
21:50I don't think they want it to feel too costum-y.
21:54So I do think that that is important with your look.
21:58Because you have such a dramatic moment.
22:01Try not to get in my head about it.
22:03I'm used to grand drag on the stage.
22:07So I am trying to edit.
22:09How's the team going?
22:11We've got some independent creatures.
22:13We do, of course.
22:14On our team.
22:15We have a bitchy one in here.
22:16You have a sassy one?
22:17Yeah.
22:18Ooh.
22:19This thing over there in the corner.
22:20Ooh.
22:21Vijay?
22:22Oh, yeah.
22:23She's what we call in the business.
22:25A .
22:26Mm-hmm.
22:27Interesting.
22:28Wow.
22:29I don't think there's a problem with being old .
22:32But when it's your own team, come on.
22:34We just have a rectangle and fabric draped on the mannequin.
22:38I don't know what, like, the vibe is.
22:40You have four more hours to finish everything.
22:43And then you will be sending your models to the Ulta Beauty Salon.
22:46And I'll see you guys in a little bit for model fittings.
22:49Don't turn into a pumpkin.
22:51Bye.
22:52Bye.
22:55We are meeting right now.
22:57I think the House of Villains didn't get enough great feedback from Christian Suriano.
23:01So I must demand a team meeting right now because I cannot go home on the first challenge.
23:06Let's step back.
23:08It doesn't look cohesive.
23:10We need to add an element.
23:12I think the cohesiveness is all about the flowers that we have.
23:15It is floral, right?
23:16You're also the only one with lace, so we have to incorporate lace somewhere.
23:20I don't have more lace at all.
23:22Well, you need to cut a little piece, so it needs to be cohesive.
23:25Have you ever made a collection?
23:26Yeah.
23:27Being cohesive is making it that it looks like it's from the same collection and same design.
23:33I know, but why lace?
23:34No one has lace.
23:35That's what I'm saying.
23:36No one has this leather.
23:37No one has this velvet.
23:38I'm adding velvet on mine.
23:40I'm adding your flower as well.
23:42Mr. Yushin, this is a team challenge.
23:45I'm not meaning taking his lace to like sabotage him.
23:48I'm just trying to do the best that I can.
23:50The red, I mean, it's beautiful, but it seems like we don't have red for any other looks.
23:54I think it's okay.
23:55Yeah.
23:56I think if you do like a red top of color.
23:58I also, I'm very competitive in there.
23:59I want all black.
24:00I don't really understand why I have to devote my lace.
24:02Why he's doing this to me?
24:04Well, he's the biggest problem in the team.
24:07I'm just saying if we want to make the collection cohesive.
24:11I know.
24:12You're the only one with lace.
24:13Wow, Yushin is definitely being a little shady bitch.
24:17If you're not here to be a team player, there's going to be a problem throughout this whole competition.
24:26Today's the first runway, and I'm just so scared what's going to happen.
24:30Not myself, but for other designers.
24:35She's part of team villains, so it's just slicked back.
24:38I want something like, you know, crying, smokey.
24:40Okay, thank you.
24:41You stand right here.
24:42This is great.
24:43Look at the proportions.
24:44Look at, you can't see her waist.
24:45You've got nothing.
24:46I'm not going to make her look like a piñata.
24:48But that's kind of what it looks like.
24:51Oh, my God.
24:52I'm running out of time, and then I have to do a belt for this coat dress.
24:55I didn't want to have her look like a loofah.
25:05Where's the model?
25:06Oh, my God.
25:07This is more stressful than Cinderella at the ball.
25:10You are still sewing?
25:12No, this one, like.
25:13Mmm.
25:14Hey, Heidi.
25:15In three, two.
25:16Hi, everybody.
25:17Hi.
25:18All right, designers.
25:19That's it.
25:20That's it.
25:21That's time.
25:22You are coming.
25:23Come on.
25:24Please meet our Project Runway judges.
25:25My longtime friend, editor-in-chief of Elle magazine, Nina Garcia.
25:29Serious, baby.
25:30That woman is powerful.
25:31I hope Nina Garcia sees my look, and she, like, sees me in my princess.
25:33CFDA award-winning stylist and image architect, La Roche.
25:34I'm thrilled.
25:49La Roche.
25:50Incredible celebrity stylist.
25:52He's worked with Zendaya.
25:54La Roche can tear me a new one whenever the man wants, okay?
25:57And thank you for the love.
25:58I'm really excited for the love of you.
25:59I'm so excited for the best.
26:00I'm so excited for you.
26:01I'm so excited for you.
26:02Okay, and please meet again our mentor, Christian Siriano.
26:07Welcome to our first show of the season of Project Runway.
26:10As you know, in fashion, one day you're in, and the next day, you're out.
26:14And in my case, you're back in again.
26:19For our first challenge, our designers formed Fashion Houses,
26:23two teams of six designers creating cohesive collections
26:27inspired by Disney princesses or Disney villains.
26:32Let's start the show!
26:42I feel so confident. This dress is really giving me a vibe of cool, modern.
26:48I would walk out of here with that, happy.
26:50I'm telling you, that girl is a villain.
26:54You can wear it now. It's not so costumable. I think it's beautiful.
26:57I'm a wizard gonna pull an ace.
27:01Seeing my look go down the runway, I'm really happy. I'm proud of it.
27:07Just to see the scarf dragging, so it gave some kind of sense of elegance and dramatic effect.
27:12The shape of my gown looks so clean and elegant.
27:18I love the way the light hits the velvet.
27:21The collar is exciting. It gives drama.
27:24It's made well, too.
27:26I couldn't be more pleased that this is the first piece that the judges see from me.
27:34I am so happy. She's giving me a villain vibe. The leather is moving. The pants is well made. Perfectly tailored for her.
27:44It's like, I'm so speechless.
27:49Wow. I'm pinching myself, seeing my look going down the runway.
27:53It's perfect, chic, and I feel like she looks like the villain.
27:58Mom, don't put your curse on me.
28:00I know.
28:01This look is the magnum opus of my mix between grand and sophisticated.
28:14Look at the detail of the glove. It's so witchy.
28:18It's harnessing wind, and it just feels like I have created something that is truly special.
28:25I hope that they get a good meal from what I'm serving.
28:28Yes!
28:36I feel the Joseph McCray princess gracing the space.
28:41I just cannot take my eyes off with my glove, because she is so beautiful.
28:45And I did that.
28:47Did you say daytime princess?
28:48Daytime. She's going to lunch.
28:53I think it looks cute. I think she looks good.
28:56I feel good, actually.
28:57I just am not the kind of person to be like, oh, my God.
29:01Whoever did this knows how to sew.
29:03The construction is really great.
29:06When my model walks down the runway, it's definitely giving modern Jasmine for sure.
29:12And I see emotions being provoked when she's walking, and that's what I want.
29:17So I'm feeling confident about my look. It's a vibe.
29:19I'm feeling emotional and happy of the work. Seeing my model in my beautiful butterfly fabric that I brought from home makes me feel so nurtured, love, and accomplished.
29:31Is that camouflage?
29:32Is that camouflage?
29:34It's like a butterfly print.
29:35She is just floating in my gown, and it's exactly the feeling I wanted. It is modern princess feeling.
29:47I love how the tool floats. It's like a little dance happening on the fabric. I feel very proud.
29:56Seeing my princess slash queen garment, whoo, I think she definitely owned the space. I knew that it was over.
30:06Designers, congratulations. That was a very special first show. Well done.
30:17Now we have to see which house has a fairytale ending, and which one just ends.
30:23My heart is racing, and I love my look. I'm sure the judges want to see more of me. I mean, what is there not to love of Antonio, right?
30:31But you never know. It's anyone's game.
30:36Welcome to your home away from home, the runway.
30:43Amazing. Yes.
30:45This was a great first challenge, and applause to all of you guys, because really everyone did a great job.
30:51But we're going to start nitpicking now.
30:54Yeah.
30:56We have scored your designs, and only one house has risen to the top.
31:00The best look will come from the winning house, while the eliminated designer will come from the losing house.
31:07The winning house for this challenge is...
31:10House of Villains.
31:15Whoa!
31:19This team was a hard one to work with.
31:22But we won. We won. We won.
31:24We did it!
31:26Congratulations.
31:27Unfortunately, that means House of Princes. You were the losing house.
31:32You can leave the runway. We'll talk to you later.
31:37Oh, my God.
31:39I didn't think I belonged here.
31:43I am shocked.
31:44What just happened?
31:45Yeah.
31:46This feels horrible.
31:47Oh.
31:50So, congratulations. You guys are winning a house.
31:54Your clothes really spoke to the challenge, but also did in a way that felt really modern, that separated you from the other team.
32:02Your collection, at least, looked cohesive.
32:07All right. Let's talk to the top three of our favorite looks.
32:13Ethan.
32:15Ta-da!
32:17We also loved Yuchin.
32:22And we had a little bit of a debate over the third spot.
32:28It is Jesus.
32:31Yes!
32:33Alex, Angelo, BJ, you're safe. And you can leave the runway.
32:39Thank you so much.
32:40Thank you, baby. Thank you.
32:42Thank you, guys.
32:44All right. Let's bring out your models.
32:48You were our three favorite looks tonight.
32:51All right, Yuchin. Let's talk about your looks.
32:54To me, this is now. I love this, especially now. Everything is about sheer. And so I feel like you're right on what's happening right now. And she looks beautiful. I would wear this, too. Gorgeous.
33:05I really like your dress. It's young. It's sexy. It's gothic. It's evil. I can definitely see Jenna Ortega in this dress at a premiere of Wednesday Addams. A slight change. I would have switched the styling with the boots. But I think it is a really, really great dress. And I think it is very commercial.
33:24The flower in the back is curious. But I love the ruching that you did on the bodice. If we change this black into pink, you could be in the princess.
33:35Yeah.
33:37Chassé.
33:38Yeah.
33:39And versatile.
33:40All right.
33:41Oh, me too.
33:43Ethan, we're going to talk to you next.
33:45Hello, distinguished panel of judges.
33:47OK.
33:48Your model is actually quite petite. However, she felt grandiose. It was like this dark shadow had just slithered through this stage. It wasn't just the clothes. It was a feeling.
34:04The construction was really, really good. The velvet was a great idea.
34:08Velvet always looked so rich. There was a little things that I noticed on the cape. There was a seam that I wish I didn't see.
34:15And a little bit of the hem is puckering. But you did such a beautiful job. Bravo, my love.
34:21It's giving me villain, but it's not giving me costume. I feel like if you don't have this cape on, you wear this jumpsuit underneath. It's like modern. It's cool. I would want to wear it.
34:30I love the nails. Because this little detail, I was like, yes. And she looks stunning. All right, Jesus.
34:39Jesus, it's so lovely to see you again. It was bold of you to choose a color when everybody else stuck to black.
34:49I think that's why you're up here is because in a sea of black, to have this fabrication that feels really rich and really luxe was really important.
34:57For me, it was very important to make her feel sexy. And I think that I embody that.
35:02I love the coat. I think it's fabulous.
35:05I hated it. I was the only one. I was out judged.
35:09Hate is such a big word. It's a short word. It's only four letters.
35:14I'm sorry if you hate the coat. I hate the whole look.
35:18Aw, don't get emotional. Please. We liked it. I love how your model looks. She feels regal. We need ambitious designers.
35:32Yes. Guys, I have to disagree with everything Nina said. To me, she doesn't look cool. She doesn't look young. She looks like a Nigerian auntie.
35:42I have clients of all different sizes, ages. And one thing you have to care about is the placement of the breast.
35:50Then you could have done something to lift the breast a little bit more.
35:54If you're going to say that you want to make a curvy woman feel beautiful and powerful and all those things, do you have to do it in your design?
36:02Does anyone disagree with any of that?
36:04Yeah.
36:06A lot of the times I feel like designers put a curvy girl into something so loose that we can't see the beautiful curves. Then I think you look beautiful.
36:14Okay.
36:15All right. Now it's time to name our winner.
36:18Congratulations, Ethan. You're the winner of this challenge.
36:31Yes. Shut up.
36:34Crown me, baby, because the queen is on top this week.
36:40Yurika won.
36:49Feels right.
36:50La Roche was rocked.
36:52I'm so shocked right now. Shocked, shocked, shocked.
36:56It feels like I'm not on the top, even though I should be celebrating being on the top. I feel a little attacked.
37:03I'm gagged. But, and I think it's very critical for me moving forward to really listen to what the judges have to say.
37:12All I have to do is prove him wrong.
37:15What was the feedback for yours? What did they have to say? Yeah?
37:18And does it really get some, like, you know, very good advices, you know?
37:21But my advice to you is through this challenge, like, every time I would be like, oh, can we do this? You're like, no, no, no.
37:28Just, sometimes you do have, sometimes you have to listen.
37:32But, girl, I have to say what I'm saying. So, remember you talking about my lace?
37:36You're saying everyone take a piece of the lace from your check.
37:39Did I say that? Everybody take a piece of his lace?
37:41We have the camera on there.
37:42Okay, bro. It was a team challenge, and that was just a request.
37:46I know. I have my own opinion. I'm a very mature designer, so nobody needs to tell me anything unless I want to take it, okay?
37:53You're getting really offended, really is throwing me off.
37:57Wait, wait, wait, wait, guys.
37:58Like, seriously?
37:59Mm-hmm. You know what you're doing, girl.
38:00No, I don't know what I'm doing.
38:01Shut up.
38:02You don't know.
38:03You don't know.
38:04Mm-mm.
38:05Child.
38:09All right, let's bring out House of Princess.
38:16House of Princess, you made our least favorite collection.
38:20It was not cohesive.
38:21Unfortunately, there were three looks that were less Disney and more dismal.
38:28Belania, Madeline, Joan, you're safe, and you can leave the runway.
38:34Thank you so much.
38:36Woo!
38:37Woo!
38:38Woo!
38:45Unfortunately, that means Casey, Joseph, and Antonio.
38:48You had the three bottom looks.
38:53Am I being punk?
38:54No.
38:55Okay.
38:56Mm-hmm.
38:57All right, let's bring out your models.
39:03Joseph, we're going to start with you first.
39:04Like, I did not see the inspo.
39:07I knew that that was you, but I just don't get Princess from this thing.
39:22I wish that you would have picked Elaine.
39:25You have volume, but then you have her wrapped up in this skirt that seems to be strangling her.
39:32It's a question of proportions.
39:34You're playing with too many.
39:35I disagree.
39:36I enjoy the way you play with proportions.
39:38I like the coat.
39:39He popped that coat off, and it was a sweetheart bodice dress.
39:41But it isn't.
39:42I like it.
39:43I think she's looked really cool.
39:45I can see some of my clients wearing this.
39:47To me, it's...
39:48We agreed to disagree.
39:49Yeah, we agreed to disagree.
39:51Can she turn around?
39:54Yeah.
39:55No, the back isn't great.
39:56No, the back isn't great.
39:57No, the back isn't great.
39:58No, the back isn't great.
39:59No, the back isn't great.
40:01No, the back isn't great.
40:02It's just not.
40:03I'm sorry.
40:04The back is a couch cushion.
40:06Okay, Antonio.
40:07If you had asked ChatGBT to help you make a John Batista Valley for $100, then that's what
40:13that look was.
40:15After Christian's critiques, I did change my look a few times.
40:19And there is another dress underneath.
40:21Is the dress still underneath?
40:22No.
40:23Yeah.
40:24Let's see it.
40:25Oh, yeah.
40:26Yeah.
40:27Well, Christian told me his intern can make that dress in 30 minutes.
40:29I put everything on Christian.
40:30I just think this dress underneath an intern could make it in 30 minutes.
40:34It's a tube dress.
40:35You couldn't have shown that by itself.
40:37But you know, why didn't you let it be open?
40:39I don't know why you put the belt on it.
40:42I didn't know you were going to cover up the butterflies completely.
40:45It's better this way.
40:46Yeah, because with that cute little mini dress under it, at least you see her body.
40:50It's charming.
40:52But this is not how we saw it.
40:54She just looked like a big loofah.
40:56When Christian was criticized, I was like, I don't think it's going to be a pinata.
40:59Stop blaming it on Christian.
41:00You're here now.
41:01No, we're not blaming Christian.
41:02I wrote...
41:03He knows.
41:04I'm a Gemini and I don't like people tell me what to do.
41:07And I was like, you're an adult.
41:10You're going to listen to Christian.
41:11He's here for a reason.
41:12He's your mentor.
41:13And I did listen to him.
41:14And that's why I changed my look three times.
41:15And, you know, you pushed me to be better.
41:18The inspo of the butterfly comes from which princess?
41:21Which princess?
41:22I mean, every princess.
41:24Antonio, but you're being so defensive.
41:27No, I'm not.
41:28We're just trying to understand your work.
41:30I'm trying to explain myself.
41:31I'm sorry if I'm coming out.
41:32Right, but I don't think there's any reason to be defensive.
41:34No, I'm not being defensive at all.
41:35I'm just explaining myself.
41:36Sorry if I'm coming out.
41:37No, I think Nina's right to call that out.
41:39I think you are being defensive and also a little bit rude.
41:43It's okay to be criticized and to be-
41:46I'm taking the criticism.
41:47And to be, you know, let down by the criticism,
41:50but to kind of like throw it back.
41:53Shelby's post has really been really quite nasty.
41:56I'm just letting you know.
41:57Okay.
41:58One girl to another.
41:59Maybe it's my Latina side.
42:00Maybe.
42:05Next.
42:07Casey, let's talk about your look.
42:09I really love this jacquard.
42:12And I wish that all this other stuff would disappear.
42:17I don't know.
42:18To me, it looks like a nightgown.
42:19You know, it's very lackluster in terms of like shape and everything.
42:24And what you then wrapped around to me looks like an afterthought.
42:27Can she turn around?
42:28Yes.
42:29The ribbon is what I hated.
42:30Yeah.
42:31What if I stood back?
42:32A hundred percent.
42:34I want to see like more design.
42:35It's not inspiring.
42:37I love the deep plunge.
42:38I just think it was a miss because you had everything to make something so beautiful and so fairytale-like.
42:46And you kind of missed it.
42:48I hear you.
42:49All right, designers.
42:50We have to make a decision.
42:52You can leave the runway.
42:54This is so much fun.
42:55I love this job.
42:56I can tell.
42:57I don't know if they're going to make it out alive at the end.
43:10Let me see.
43:11What's happening?
43:12You're good.
43:13But you know what?
43:14I'm still on the drive.
43:15I guess we can all agree that Joseph is not going home, right?
43:23There's so much going on, but the color was really beautiful.
43:27The combination of fabrics were very wonderful.
43:30He's like, I'm making what I make.
43:33Couches.
43:34Casey, Nina, what did you think?
43:36The dress was a complete mess.
43:38It was horrible.
43:39Yes.
43:40And boring, too.
43:41It's literally like she took a staple gun.
43:42It was just like...
43:43No, it was awful.
43:44I'm an adult, and I'm going to take criticism about bitch.
43:46When you're putting words in my mouth, like...
43:48Antonio, what were your thoughts?
43:50That dress, when he opened it up, was really cute.
43:52I had like 30 minutes to make that dress.
43:54Yeah, but the coat made.
43:55I liked that it was a coat.
43:56I know.
43:57But what if he didn't have that coat?
43:58Yeah.
43:59No.
44:00He needed that coat.
44:01He's like, whoa, your attitude, I'm like, oh, bitch.
44:04That attitude is so bad.
44:06Then he said, it's probably just the Latino in me.
44:09Girl.
44:10I was like, yeah, all right.
44:12That's not an excuse.
44:13So with my Nina, baby.
44:14Yeah.
44:15You could be very talented, but if you have a bad attitude, and you can't work with others
44:21in this industry, we have seen it.
44:24Bad attitude is a problem.
44:27I'm so proud of myself.
44:30It's just very emotional, you know, and intense.
44:34It's just intense.
44:37I just feel like I'm in shock a bit.
44:40Right now, like, I actually really loved my dress.
44:44Being in this position again.
44:46I never thought I'd be in the bottom three.
44:48At this stage of the competition again, like, after being eliminated on episode one of another season,
44:53like, it just feels like a bad joke.
44:55I don't want to go home.
45:00They're so mean.
45:01I'm like, no.
45:02Why am I here?
45:03I didn't think my design was the worst.
45:08But being in the bottom three, I feel like shattered.
45:11Do I really need to be here?
45:12Do I really need this?
45:13It's like, let's just go home.
45:15So do we stay home the bad dress or the bad attitude?
45:19I want to go home.
45:22No.
45:23If I stay, my attitude's gonna be worse.
45:28worse.
45:29So do we think we're going to have to—
45:30do not have to coincide to this society?
45:31No.
45:32No.
45:33We want to see everything.
45:34We need everything.
45:35We need everything.
45:36Will your students entirely run deep?
45:37I want to let the Most Of The故.
45:38I need everything from you as a man.
45:39We need everything.
45:40For you.
45:41Oh my god.
45:42We have friends.
45:43We need everything.
45:44I need everything to beleeful.
45:45We need everything.
45:46You can't come.
45:48Now one.
45:49One 확 is on point.
45:51We need all to know metaphors.
45:53Perfect.
45:54You can't do to the best of space.
