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.
01:45Oh shit.
02:01Yo.
02:03We on Project Runway for real?
02:05Welcome to Project Runway, a.k.a. The Joseph McCray Show.
02:09Ooh!
02:10Listen, it's Joseph McCray is one word.
02:12Do not break it up.
02:14First and last together, and that's it.
02:19Uh-oh.
02:20Hola!
02:21You got a designer and a model.
02:23I'm a tall bitch.
02:32Hey, Ziva.
02:33How are you? I'm Joseph McCray.
02:34I'm Ethan, but you may recognize me as Utica from RuPaul's Drag Race.
02:39You think I can eat that?
02:40Yeah, you can cue on it.
02:42Girl, this is crystals.
02:43Oh, we got another one!
02:45Hey, Ziva.
02:46How are you?
02:47Hello, Ethan. Nice to meet you. VJ.
02:49I'm Joseph McCray.
02:50Hi, Joseph.
02:51Nice to meet you.
02:52No, no, no. You got to say that first to myself.
02:53Hi.
02:54It's all one. Hold on, VJ. It's Joseph McCray.
02:56Okay, Joseph, right?
02:57Joseph McCray.
02:58Joseph Mac...
02:59McCray.
03:00McCray.
03:01Don't even split it.
03:02Okay, Joseph McCray.
03:03Hey.
03:04Madeline, nice to meet you.
03:05Madeline, pleasure.
03:06Hey.
03:07Hola!
03:08Hi!
03:09I'm Joseph McCray.
03:10Hey.
03:11Madeline, nice to meet you.
03:12Madeline, pleasure.
03:13Hey.
03:14Hola!
03:15Hi!
03:16Bitches, I am back.
03:17Jesus, nice to meet you.
03:18I'm Jesus Estrada from Project Runway Season 7.
03:22I'm so excited.
03:23Jesus, 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.
03:35Now 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, what's up?
03:57Hi.
03:58My name is Yuchen.
03:59Hi.
04:00Hi.
04:01My name is Casey Black.
04:05I was on Season 19 of Project Runway, and I left on Episode 1.
04:13I'm like cry laughing.
04:15Casey, you are out.
04:16Being eliminated in the first challenge, I didn't get to show who I was as a person,
04:22as a designer, as an artist.
04:24So I'm just hoping to prove who I am.
04:26Hi.
04:27Hi.
04:28Hi.
04:29Hi.
04:30Hi.
04:31Hi.
04:32Honey, you look like you're ready.
04:34I mean, born ready, baby.
04:35Yeah.
04:36Oh, shit, bitch.
04:37Are you guys ready to double the travel?
04:41Is that my twin brother?
04:44Oh, .
04:46Bitch.
04:47Oh, no.
04:48That's my God.
04:49There'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?
04:59They want me here though.
05:01You want to tell them that you want this side?
05:03Yeah, that's my side.
05:04Is that going to be a fight?
05:06Hi.
05:07I'm Antonio Estrada.
05:08I'm the winner of Project Runway Season 21, and this is the first runner-up.
05:11Bitch.
05:12We'll see you on season seven.
05:14No, this is his first time.
05:17I waited 15 years, we're here.
05:19Yes, there you go.
05:22And I always knew I wanted to do fashion.
05:23It was my dream to be on Parcher Runway, not my brother.
05:26I said my brother went in before me, so.
05:28But I never felt like I was living in his shadow.
05:32I'm talented.
05:34I'm excited to showcase my own creations,
05:36give me my own vision, my own style outside of my brother.
05:39And I'm here to win.
05:40Six, seven, eight.
05:41We're done, we're done.
05:42This is an ad.
05:43Yeah, 12.
05:46There you go.
05:53Welcome home, Mama.
05:54Yes.
05:55Yes.
05:56Yes.
05:57Designers, welcome to Project Runway.
05:59I can't believe I'm saying this again.
06:01This is so exciting.
06:02I'm your host, Heidi Klum.
06:0421.
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
06:13and icon next to me, Christian Siriano.
06:17Yes.
06:18I'm good.
06:23So you want to know your first challenge?
06:26Absolutely.
06:27Not me.
06:28Okay, if you ask any designer where they first fell in love with fashion, I think one answer
06:33comes up more than any other.
06:34The Disney princess.
06:36Ooh!
06:37The princesses have inspired so many designers for decades.
06:42And as you know, behind every powerful princess...
06:45There's something lurking.
06:46Ooh!
06:47The Disney villains.
06:48Yes!
06:49Not only were they scary, but they were fabulously evil.
06:54Okay, designers, we're in a new home with new rules.
06:59So for your first challenge, you will be forming fashion houses.
07:06Woo!
07:07Heidi!
07:08What are you doing to us?
07:09One house will be house of princess, while the other will be the house of villains.
07:14I know.
07:15Please stand on the side that your work is on.
07:16Right here.
07:17Right here.
07:18Oh my god.
07:19Your house is the house of princess.
07:20Okay!
07:21I don't want to sew in all black.
07:22Yeah, be neither.
07:23That makes you house of villains.
07:24Each house must create a cohesive collection.
07:25That's C word.
07:26For the very first runway show at the Enchanted United Palace.
07:29Ooh!
07:30Ooh!
07:31Ooh!
07:32We only have one day to create this look.
07:35Whew!
07:36You guys have 45 minutes to brainstorm, to sketch, and then you run off to Moo to get your fabric.
07:54Oh god!
07:55I'm so happy to be here, and I can't believe I'm saying this again.
07:59I'll see you on the runway!
08:01Love you, Heidi.
08:02It's happening.
08:03I 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
08:41going to have going on so we can bring these princess looks to life.
08:43It is game on.
08:44Let's go.
08:45What's that one thing that can thread all the collection?
08:46I think it's going to come down to the fabric selection.
08:47Fabric.
08:48I definitely got inspired by Ursula, and since I have a delicious, curvaceous girl as a model,
08:53I want to do a powerful suit, fit it all the way below the knee, and then it's going to go out.
08:58I want to make sure her body looks like snatch.
08:59I think a villain has a good cape, and if I can switch up the idea of having a cape, would
09:03we like that?
09:04Yes.
09:05I grew up on a farm.
09:06When I created Utica, it was a conduit for my queer artistic energy, because back on the farm, I am the gay community.
09:13I'm the mayor of Queerville.
09:14I mostly do these one-of-a-coups.
09:15I want to do a powerful suit, fit it all the way below the knee, and then it's going to go out.
09:18I want to make sure her body looks like snatch.
09:20I think a villain has a good cape, and if I can switch up the idea of having a cape, would we like that?
09:23Yes.
09:24I grew up on a farm.
09:25When I created Utica, it was a conduit for my queer artistic energy, because back on the farm, 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 to ready-to-wear drag outfit.
09:43So, 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, and I'm excited to intimidate my brother.
10:06The color palette is bright.
10:07The fabric that I brought from home, it's literally that fabric, the butterfly, but it's in pink, and it has orange-y tones.
10:16The butterflies are blue.
10:19So, let's have the inspiration of our collection be butterfly.
10:23They're so 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, you know?
10:55That's fine.
10:56It's crazy.
10:57We're agreeing to this fabric that we've never seen.
11:00All right, guys.
11:01Here we go.
11:02What do you think?
11:04I am not feeling it.
11:06She's ice cold.
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 anyway, so.
11:40Are you going to pull something from here?
11:42I don't even know.
11:44For me, the butterflies reprincess.
11:47But if they don't yet, they're crazy.
11:50All right, designer, $600 each, 45 minutes to shop.
11:59Okay, go.
12:02Joseph McCray.
12:03Joseph McCray, you got to say the first with the last.
12:05Joseph McCray, you got to say the first with the last.
12:11Nah, this is too purple.
12:13Everybody's using this print.
12:15No, I'm the only one.
12:16No, no.
12:17But they all make sense.
12:18We got sequin, we have velvet, we've got your print, we have tulle.
12:22Our team had a plan coming into this.
12:24But now we're running around the store, chicken with his head cut off.
12:28I'm like .
12:29And now we've got tweed.
12:30I don't know what's happening.
12:31Patricia, this is 2025, baby.
12:33Okay, I'm, listen, I work in 2025.
12:36I'm doing okay.
12:38Come, come, come, come.
12:39Villain team, can I please have you and beat it, please?
12:42We have to have a meeting right now.
12:44I've played this game before and I think at this point, I know what it takes.
12:48And if someone has to take control, I think that person's going to be me.
12:51Great idea.
12:52Let's meet and make sure it makes sense together.
12:55I need to get lining, so I'll be back, okay?
12:58Lining?
12:59Lining.
13:00Okay.
13:01Yeah.
13:02Okay.
13:03Vijay is in her own bubble.
13:04She needs to be a team player.
13:06I don't know.
13:07My team is going everywhere, so I haven't been able to get them here.
13:10No meeting.
13:11Hope it looks good.
13:12Fiddling, fiddling.
13:13Here we go.
13:14Did I cut enough?
13:15Can we sing Disney songs?
13:16It's a good thing that's not her day job.
13:20That fabric is gorgeous.
13:21Take it.
13:22Take off the file.
13:23Yeah, right?
13:24Don't you think?
13:25Yeah.
13:26That's gorgeous.
13:27I know.
13:28I think so, too.
13:29In season 19, I had a lot of ideas.
13:30It was really hard for me to edit down, and I lost track of time.
13:39I don't want that to happen again.
13:40So, in this challenge, I just think Sleeping Beauty and tulle ball gown.
13:41I'm going to play with layers of tulle that I'm pamphleting.
13:42Casey, I remember her from season 19.
13:43Her aesthetic is the same.
13:44I'm going to play with layers of tulle that I'm pamphleting.
13:47Casey, I remember her from season 19.
13:48Her aesthetic is very, um... loud.
13:50And, yeah, it's pretty.
13:54I know she's flying around.
13:55But when I got to, I was a kid.
13:56So, if you want to see your baby who's dancing around, I had a lot of ideas.
14:01It was really hard for me to edit down, and I lost track of time.
14:06I don't want that to happen again.
14:08So, this challenge, I just think Sleeping Beauty and tulle ball gowns.
14:11I'm going to play with layers of tulle that I'm pamphleting.
14:14Casey, I remember her from season 19.
14:16Welcome to Project Runway Season 21.
14:20My name is Vijay Floresca.
14:23Aside from being a fashion designer,
14:25I used to be a beauty queen.
14:28Here's my pageant wave.
14:32I was second runner-up in Project Runway Philippines Season 1
14:36and first runner-up in Dress My Tour.
14:39Being in those competitions will help me
14:42to finally win this competition.
14:44No more runner-ups, but to win the competition.
14:48How's it going, Diva?
14:50This one. This one.
14:54I can't really get a read on Vijay.
14:56This is a team challenge,
14:58and you have to be a little receptive
15:00to other people's critique and interests
15:02in what you're doing.
15:04She really is in her own zone,
15:06and to us, it seems like she's being an asshole.
15:10I know that I'm priceless, yeah, I can't even hide it.
15:14I know what you want, I know you like it.
15:16Let's do it!
15:18Let's get this party.
15:20Party!
15:21Get back to work.
15:22Color palettes coming together.
15:24Yeah.
15:25And that transition couldn't be any more perfect.
15:26I'm feeling like my team is a winning team,
15:28and I guess you can call me the team leader,
15:30just because they actually fell in love with the fabric
15:32that I wanted to use for this challenge.
15:34But you know, I'm a Turner Strata.
15:36I can make anyone fall in love with anything.
15:38I think we're doing it, you guys.
15:39I think we're doing it, you guys.
15:40House of Princess.
15:41It's a lot of pink, it's a lot of ruffles,
15:43and there's some butterflies in there.
15:45It's not my Turner Strata.
15:46I can make anyone fall in love with anything.
15:48I 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, it'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.
16:00Yeah, I hate it as well.
16:03Hey, BJ, how you doing?
16:08Huh?
16:10Huh?
16:11I think there's some people in my team
16:13that are not being team players.
16:15BJ's energy is very standoffish.
16:18It's bitchy.
16:19Why you don't have a machine?
16:21Where's your machine?
16:22Girl, these are all of our machines.
16:24No, 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, like, everybody's using all of them.
16:34Come on, girl.
16:35You just decide to be lazy and not thread your own machine.
16:41This girl, the fight for the machine begins.
16:44Girl, relax.
16:46Like, you don't own the machines.
16:48You're using black thread, honey?
16:49I am as well.
16:50So, bitch, 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 Jesus wants to distract me.
17:02I'm not going to give him that power.
17:04I'm just going to ignore it.
17:06See, this is my well-in-law.
17:07Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:09You don't want to be in our bathtub, you know, bitch.
17:17Hello.
17:18Martini!
17:19How are you doing?
17:20Hey!
17:21There's a lot going on in here.
17:23Yes, it is.
17:27Casey.
17:28Yes.
17:29Hi.
17:30Hi.
17:31We meet again.
17:32I know.
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.
17:45Maybe this tool is in here and it's more of a tool overlay somewhere.
17:49The proportions and the fit will be important here.
17:53Yeah.
17:54The waist.
17:55Okay.
17:56For sure.
17:57Do you want to make this feel really cool and interesting?
17:59Oh, no.
18:00I have done a waist like this before and I love asymmetrical.
18:03I do a lot of asymmetrical.
18:05So, I don't want to give that up.
18:08I think it's going to be gorgeous.
18:09Okay.
18:10Good luck.
18:12Wow.
18:13This is a little number, the Joseph McCray puffer.
18:18Beautiful shape.
18:19I like to play with shape a lot.
18:21I have a degree in electrical engineering.
18:23I think the engineering has very heavily influenced my design aesthetic and you look at the structure
18:28you 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 repulsory fabric.
18:38People may not directly relate it to a princess, but listen, every princess needs 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.
18:59This is Disney.
19:00I know.
19:01I know.
19:02Where are my pearls?
19:07Antonio, what 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.
19:14And then I want to do a coat over it with these two different colored tools all over the coat.
19:20So, it will be like a reveal.
19:22You'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.
19:34Yeah.
19:35Like that's not hard.
19:36What?
19:37What the ?
19:38Don't lose it completely.
19:39But like what else could this be?
19:42Could it have sculpture?
19:43Could 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, so 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.
20:15Yuchun, what is your work normally like?
20:21My work is more like very futuristic.
20:23Okay.
20:24Very agile 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, very powerful.
20:40I'm here to challenge myself.
20:42My inspiration for this look is from Takah.
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.
21:10Like something forward thinking.
21:12I know in my head how the final product is going to 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.
21:23Okay.
21:24I would love a tour of the brain.
21:27Well, we know that a villain loves a cape.
21:30I'm doing my version of a cape where the cape is going to 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 costumy.
21:53So I do think that that is important with your look because 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, Christian.
22:54We are meeting right now.
22:56I 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.
23:07It doesn't look cohesive.
23:09We need to add an element.
23:11I think the cohesiveness is all about the flowers that we have.
23:14It is floral, right?
23:15You're also the only one with lace, so we have to incorporate lace somewhere.
23:20I don't have more lace at all.
23:21Well, you need to cut a little piece, so it needs to be cohesive.
23:24Have 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.
23:49But the red, I mean, it's beautiful, but it seems like we don't have red for any other looks.
23:53I think it's okay.
23:54Yeah.
23:55I think if you do, like, a red pop of color.
23:57I also am very competitive in there.
23:58I want all black.
23:59I don't really understand why I have to devote my lace.
24:02Why is he 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, you're the only one with lace.
24:13Wow, Yushin, he's 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 is the first runway, and I'm just so scared what's going to happen.
24:30Not myself, but for other designers.
24:34She's part of team villains, so it's just slick back.
24:37I want something, like, you know, crying, smoky.
24:39Okay, thank you.
24:41You stand right here.
24:42This is great.
24:43Look at the proportions.
24:44Look, you can't see her waist.
24:45You've got nothing.
24:46But I'm not going to make her look like a pinata.
24:48But that's kind of what it looks like.
24:50Oh, my God.
24:51I'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.
24:57Silence!
24:58It's on the model!
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!
25:14You and Heidi in three, two...
25:21Hi, everybody!
25:22Hi!
25:25All right, designers.
25:26That's it.
25:27That's time.
25:28You are coming.
25:29Come on.
25:30Please meet our Project Runway judges.
25:32My longtime friend, editor-in-chief of Elle magazine, Nina Garcia.
25:36Woo!
25:37Serious.
25:38Baby, that woman is powerful.
25:41I hope Nina Garcia sees my look, and she, like, sees me in my princess.
25:46The FDA award-winning stylist and image architect, La Roche.
25:53I'm thrilled.
25:54La Roche, incredible celebrity stylist.
25:57He's worked with Zendaya.
25:59La Roche can tear me a new one whenever the man wants, okay?
26:02And 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.
26:32Woo!
26:33Let's start the show!
26:42I feel so confident.
26:44This dress is really giving me a vibe of cool, modern.
26:49I would walk out of here with that, happy.
26:51I'm telling you, that girl is a villain.
26:54You can wear it now.
26:55It's not so customy.
26:56I think it's beautiful.
27:01Seeing my look go down the runway, I'm really happy.
27:03I'm proud of it.
27:08Just to see the scarf dragging, so it gave some kind of sense of elegance and dramatic effect.
27:14The shape of my gown looks so clean and elegant.
27:18I love the way the light hits the velvet.
27:21The collar is exciting.
27:24It gives drama.
27:25It's made well, too.
27:26I couldn't be more pleased that this is the first piece that the judges see for me.
27:31I am so happy she's giving me a villain vibe.
27:39The leather is moving.
27:41The pants is well made.
27:43Perfectly tailored for her.
27:45It's like I'm so speechless.
27:48Wow.
27:49I'm pinching myself, seeing my look going down the runway.
27:52It's perfect, chic, and I feel like she looks like the villain.
27:58Oh!
27:59Don't put your curse on me.
28:00I know!
28:01Oh!
28:02Oh!
28:03Oh!
28:04Oh!
28:05Oh!
28:06Oh!
28:07Oh!
28:08This look is the magnum opus of my mix between grand and sophisticated.
28:14Look at the detail of the glove.
28:16It'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.
28:29Yes!
28:30I 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.
28:46Did you say daytime princess?
28:47Daytime.
28:48Keep going to lunch.
28:53I think it looks cute.
28:54I think she looks good.
28:55I 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.
29:04When my model walks down the runway, it's definitely giving modern Jasmine for sure.
29:11And I see emotions being provoked when she's walking, and that's what I want.
29:16So I'm feeling confident about my look.
29:18It's a vibe.
29:21I'm feeling emotional and happy of the work.
29:23Seeing 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?
29:33It's like a butterfly print.
29:34She is just floating in my gown, and it's exactly the feeling I wanted.
29:46It is modern princess feeling.
29:48I love how the tool floats.
29:52It's like a little dance happening on the fabric.
29:55I feel very proud.
29:59Seeing my princess slash queen garment, whoo, I think she definitely owned the space.
30:06I knew that it was over.
30:11Designers, congratulations.
30:13That was a very special first show.
30:16Well 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.
30:26I'm sure the judges want to see more of me.
30:28I mean, what is there not to love of Antonio, right?
30:31But you never know.
30:32It's anyone's game.
30:39Welcome to your home away from home, the runway.
30:42Amazing.
30:43Yes.
30:44This was a great first challenge, and applause to all of you guys, because really everyone
30:49did a great job.
30:51But we're going to start nitpicking now.
30:53Yeah.
30:55We have scored your designs, and only one house has risen to the top.
31:01The best look will come from the winning house, while the eliminated designer will come
31:05from the losing house.
31:08The winning house for this challenge is...
31:10House of Villains.
31:15Whoa!
31:19This team was a hard one to work with.
31:21But we won.
31:22We won.
31:23We won.
31:24We won.
31:26Congratulations.
31:27Unfortunately, that means House of Princes.
31:29You were the losing house.
31:30You can leave the runway.
31:31We'll talk to you later.
31:34Oh, my God.
31:36I didn't think I belonged here.
31:38I am shocked.
31:39What just happened?
31:41This feels horrible.
31:42Ugh.
31:43So, congratulations.
31:44You guys are winning a house.
31:45Your clothes really spoke to the challenge, but also did in a way that felt really modern,
31:59that separated you from the other team.
32:01Your collection, at least, looked cohesive.
32:07All right.
32:08Let's talk to the top three of our favorite looks.
32:13Ethan.
32:15Ta-da!
32:17We also love 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.
32:37And you can leave the runway.
32:38Thank you so much.
32:39Thank you, baby.
32:42Thank you, guys.
32:43All right.
32:44Let's bring out your models.
32:47You were our three favorite looks tonight.
32:51All right, Yuchin.
32:52Let's talk about your looks.
32:54To me, this is now.
32:55I love this, especially now.
32:57Everything is about sheer.
32:58And so, I feel like you're right on what's happening right now.
33:01And she looks beautiful.
33:02I would wear this, too.
33:03It's gorgeous.
33:04I really like your dress.
33:06It's young.
33:07It's sexy.
33:08It's gothic.
33:09It's evil.
33:10I can definitely see Jenna Ortega in this dress at a premiere of Wednesday Addams.
33:15A slight change.
33:16I would have switched the styling with the boots.
33:19But I think it is a really, really great dress.
33:21And I think it is very commercial.
33:23The flower in the back is curious.
33:25But I love the ruching that you did on the bodice.
33:29If we change this black into pink, you could be in the princess.
33:34Yeah.
33:36Just say.
33:37I'm versatile.
33:38All right.
33:39Oh, me too.
33:40Ethan, we're going to talk to you next.
33:45Hello, distinguished panel of judges.
33:47Okay.
33:48Your model is actually quite petite.
33:51However, she felt grandiose.
33:55It was like this dark shadow had just slithered through the stage.
34:00It wasn't just the clothes.
34:02It was a feeling.
34:03The construction was really, really good.
34:06The velvet was a great idea.
34:08Velvet always looked so rich.
34:10There was a little things that I noticed on the cape.
34:13There was a seam that I wish I didn't see.
34:15And a little bit of the hem is puckering.
34:18But you did such a beautiful job.
34:20Bravo, my love.
34:21It's giving me villain, but it's not giving me costume.
34:23I feel like if you don't have this cape on, you wear this jumpsuit underneath.
34:27It's like modern.
34:28It's cool.
34:29I would want to wear it.
34:30I love the nails because this little detail, I was like, yes.
34:35And she looks stunning.
34:37All right, Jesus.
34:39Jesus, it's so lovely to see you again.
34:42It 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
34:54that feels really rich and really luxe was really important.
34:57For me, it was very important to make her feel sexy.
35:00And I think that I embody that.
35:02I love the coat.
35:03I think it's fabulous.
35:05I hated it.
35:06I was the only one I was out judged.
35:09Hate is such a big word.
35:11It's a short word.
35:12It's only four letters.
35:14I'm sorry if you hate the coat.
35:16I hate the whole look.
35:18Aw, don't get emotional.
35:23Please.
35:24We liked it.
35:26I love how your model looks.
35:28She feels regal.
35:30We need ambitious designers.
35:32Yes.
35:33Guys, I have to disagree with everything Nina said.
35:37To me, she doesn't look cool.
35:39She doesn't look young.
35:40She looks like a Nigerian auntie.
35:43I have clients of all different sizes, ages.
35:46And one thing you have to care about is the placement of the breast.
35:51Then 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,
36:00do you have to do it in your design?
36:02Does anyone disagree with any of that?
36:04Yeah.
36:05A lot of the times I feel like designers put a curvy girl into something so loose that we can't see the beautiful curves.
36:13Then I think you look beautiful.
36:14Okay.
36:15All right.
36:16Now it's time to name our winner.
36:28Congratulations, Ethan.
36:30You're the winner of this challenge.
36:32Yes.
36:33Shut up.
36:35Crown me, baby.
36:36Because the queen is on top this week.
36:40Yurika won.
36:41Yurika won.
36:42Yurika.
36:43Yurika.
36:44Yurika.
36:45Yurika.
36:46Yurika.
36:47Yurika.
36:48Yurika.
36:49Yurika.
36:50Yurika.
36:51Feels right.
36:52La Roche was rocked.
36:53I'm so shocked right now.
36:54Shocked.
36:55Shocked.
36:56Shocked.
36:57It feels like I'm not on the top even though I should be celebrating being on the top.
37:01I feel a little attacked.
37:03I'm gagged.
37:04But and I think it's very critical for me moving forward to really listen to what the judges
37:11have to say.
37:12All I have to do is prove him wrong.
37:14What was the feedback for yours?
37:16What did they have to say?
37:17Yeah.
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
37:26do this?
37:27You'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.
37:34So, remember you talking about my lace?
37:36You're saying everyone take a piece of the lace.
37:38Did I say that?
37:39Everybody take a piece of his lace?
37:41We have the camera on there.
37:42Okay, bro.
37:43It was a team challenge and that was just a request.
37:46I know.
37:47I have my own opinion.
37:48I'm a very mature designer.
37:49So, nobody need to tell me anything unless I want to take it, okay?
37:53You're getting really offended.
37:55Really is throwing me off.
37:57Wait, wait, wait, wait.
37:58Like seriously?
37:59Mm-hmm.
38:00You know what you're doing, girl.
38:01No, I don't know what I'm doing.
38:02You don't know.
38:03You don't know.
38:04Mm-mm.
38:05Child.
38:09Alright, 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.
38:26Balania, Madeline, Joan.
38:31You're safe and you can leave the runway.
38:34Thank you for mine.
38:36Woo!
38:37Woo!
38:38Unfortunately, that means Casey, Joseph, and Antonio.
38:48He had the three bottom looks.
38:49Am I being punk?
38:50Am I being punk?
38:51No.
38:52Okay.
38:53Mm-hmm.
38:54Mm-hmm.
38:55All right, let's bring out your models.
38:56Joseph, we're gonna start with you first.
39:01Like, I did not see the inspo.
39:02I knew that that was you, but I just don't get Princess from this thing.
39:06I wish that you would have picked a lane.
39:07You have volume, but then you have her wrapped up in this skirt that seems to be strangling
39:09her.
39:10It's a question of proportions.
39:11You're playing with too many.
39:12I disagree.
39:13I disagree.
39:14I enjoy the way you play with proportions.
39:17I like the coat.
39:17I like the coat.
39:34It's a question of proportions.
39:36You're playing with too many.
39:39I disagree.
39:41the way you play with proportions.
39:43I like the coat.
39:44He popped that coat off, and it was a sweetheart bodice dress.
39:47But it isn't.
39:48I like it.
39:48I think she looks really cool.
39:50I can see some of my clients wearing this.
39:53To me, it's- We agreed to disagree.
39:54Yeah, we agreed to disagree.
39:58Can she turn around?
40:01Yeah.
40:01No, the back isn't great.
40:03This is not.
40:03I'm sorry.
40:04The back is a couch cushion.
40:06OK, Antonio.
40:08If you had asked ChatGBT to help you make a John Batista
40:11Valli for $100, then that's what that look was.
40:16After Christian's critiques, I did change my look a few times.
40:20And there is another dress underneath.
40:22Is the dress still underneath, or no?
40:24Yeah.
40:24Let's see it.
40:25Oh, yeah.
40:26Yeah.
40:26Well, Christian told me his intern
40:28can make that dress in 30 minutes.
40:29Oh, you can't blame it on everything on Christian.
40:32I just think this dress underneath an intern
40:34could make it in 30 minutes.
40:35It's a tube dress.
40:36You couldn't have shown that by itself.
40:38But you know, why didn't you let it be open?
40:40I don't know why you put the belt on it.
40:43I didn't know you were going to cover up
40:44the butterflies completely.
40:45It's better this way.
40:47Yeah, because with that cute little mini dress under it,
40:49at least you see her body.
40:51It's charming.
40:52But this is not how we saw it.
40:54She just looked like a big loofah.
40:56When Christian was crazy, I said, I'm like,
40:58don't think it's going to be a pinata.
41:00Stop blaming it on Christian.
41:01You're here now.
41:02I wrote.
41:02No, we're not blaming Christian.
41:03I wrote.
41:04Oh, he knows.
41:04I'm a Gemini, and I don't like people tell me what to do.
41:08And 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.
41:17Oh, he's spicy.
41:19The inspo of the butterfly comes from which princess?
41:22Which princess?
41:23I mean, every princess.
41:26Antonio, but you're being so defensive.
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.
41:32But I don't think there's any reason to be defensive.
41:35No, I'm not being defensive at all.
41:36I'm just explaining myself.
41:37Sorry if I'm coming out.
41:38No, I think Nina's right to call that out.
41:40I think you are being defensive and also a little bit rude.
41:44It's OK to be criticized and to be let down by the criticism,
41:51but to kind of like throw it back.
41:54Your response has really been really quite nasty.
41:57I'm just letting you know.
41:58OK.
41:59One girl to another.
42:00Maybe it's my Latina side.
42:01Maybe.
42:06Next.
42:08Casey, let's talk about your look.
42:10I really love this jacquard.
42:13And I wish that all this other stuff would disappear.
42:17I don't know.
42:18To me, it looks like a nightgown.
42:20You know, it's very lackluster in terms of, like,
42:23shape and everything.
42:24And what you then wrapped around, to me,
42:26looks like an afterthought.
42:28Can she turn around?
42:29Yes.
42:30The ribbon is what I hated.
42:31Yeah.
42:32What if I stood back?
42:33100%.
42:34I want to see, like, more design.
42:36It's not inspiring.
42:37I love the deep plunge.
42:39I just think it was a miss.
42:40Because you had everything to make something so beautiful
42:44and so fairytale-like.
42:46And you kind of missed it.
42:49I hear you.
42:50All right, designers, we have to make a decision.
42:53You can leave the runway.
43:00This is so much fun.
43:01I love this job.
43:02I don't know if they're going to make it out alive at the end.
43:07I don't know if they're going to make it out alive at the end.
43:11Can you see what's happening?
43:12You're good.
43:13But you know what?
43:14You're fine.
43:15I don't know if they're going to make it out alive at the end.
43:20I guess we can all agree that Joseph is not going home, right?
43:23There's so much going on.
43:25But the color was really beautiful.
43:27The combination of fabrics were very wonderful.
43:31He's like, I'm making what I make.
43:33Couches.
43:34Kasey, Nina, what did you think?
43:36The dress was a complete mess.
43:38It was horrible.
43:39It was a mess.
43:40And boring, too.
43:41It literally, like, she took a staple gun.
43:43It was just like, shh, shh.
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, blah, what were your thoughts?
43:50That dress, when he opened it up, was really cute.
43:53I had like 30 minutes to make that dress.
43:55Yeah, but the coat made.
43:56I like that it was a coat.
43:57I know.
43:57But what if he didn't have that coat?
43:59Yeah.
44:00No, he needed that kind of.
44:01He's like, whoa, your attitude.
44:03I'm like, oh, bitch.
44:04That attitude is so bad.
44:07Then he said, it's probably just the Latina in me.
44:10Girl.
44:10I was like, yeah, all right.
44:13That's not an excuse.
44:14So with my Nina, baby.
44:15Yeah.
44:16You could be very talented, but if you have a bad attitude,
44:20and you can't work with others in this industry,
44:23we have seen it.
44:25Bad attitude is a problem.
44:28I'm so proud of myself.
44:31It's just very emotional, you know, and intense.
44:36It's just intense.
44:38I just feel like I'm in shock a bit right now.
44:41Like, um, I actually really loved my dress.
44:45Being 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
44:53season, like, it just feels like a bad joke.
44:55I don't want to go home.
44:57I don't want to go home.
44:58I don't want to go home.
45:00I'm so mean.
45:02I don't know.
45:03Why am I here?
45:05I didn't think my design was the worst.
45:09But being in the bottom three, I feel, like, shattered.
45:12Do I really need to be here?
45:13Do I really need this?
45:14It's like, let's just go home.
45:17So do we say home the bad dress or the bad attitude?
45:22I want to go home.
45:24No.
45:26If I say my attitude's going to be worse.
