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.
01:45See my eyes on me.
01:47Woo!
01:49Whoa!
01:50Let me spell it out.
01:52W-o-w.
01:54Let me spell it out.
01:56W-o-w.
01:58Ha ha ha ha.
01:59Wow!
02:00Oh shit.
02:01Yo.
02:03Yo, we don't project runway for real.
02:05Welcome to Project Runway.
02:07Aka the Joseph McCray Show.
02:09Ooh!
02:10Listen, it's Joseph McCrae, it's one word,
02:13do not break it up.
02:14First and last together, and that's it.
02:19Uh-oh.
02:20You got a designer and a model.
02:24I'm a tall bitch.
02:32Hey, Ziva.
02:33How are you? I'm Joseph McCrae.
02:34I'm Ethan, but you may recognize me as Utica
02:38from 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?
02:47Ethan, nice to meet you.
02:48Vijay.
02:49I'm Joseph McCrae.
02:50Hi, Joseph.
02:51No, no, no, you got to say that person that's all.
02:53Hi.
02:54Hold on, Vijay is Joseph McCrae.
02:56Okay, Joseph, right?
02:57Joseph McCrae.
02:58Joseph Mac?
02:59McCrae.
02:59McCrae.
03:00Don't even split it.
03:01Okay, Joseph McCrae.
03:02Boom, easy, right?
03:05Hola.
03:06Hola.
03:08I'm Joseph McCrae.
03:09Hey, Madeline, nice to meet you.
03:11Madeline, pleasure.
03:12Hey.
03:13Hola.
03:14Hi.
03:15Bitches, I am back.
03:17Jesus, nice to meet you.
03:19I'm Jesus Estrada from Project Runway season seven.
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.
03:38I have a very successful business.
03:39So Heidi has nothing to worry about this time around,
03:43about my taste level.
03:45I'm going to win, just so you know.
03:47So I hope you bitches are ready.
03:48Yes.
03:49What is going on?
03:51Hi.
03:52I'm VJ.
03:53I'm Joan.
03:54Nice to meet you.
03:55Nice to meet you, Joan.
03:56Hi, guys.
03:57Hey, what's up?
03:58Hi.
03:59My name is Yu-Chan.
04:00Hi.
04:01Hi.
04:04My name is Casey Black.
04:05I was on season 19 of Project Runway,
04:09and I left on episode one.
04:13I'm like cry laughing.
04:15Casey, you are out.
04:17Being eliminated in the first challenge,
04:19I 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.
04:27Hi.
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.
04:38Are you guys ready to double the travel?
04:42Is that my twin brother?
04:43Oh, .
04:45Bitch.
04:46No, no.
04:47That's my name.
04:50There's another one.
04:52The strata did not come to plan.
04:53Let them meet the winner.
04:58Wait, 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, I'm Antonio Estrada.
05:07I'm the winner of Project Runway season 21,
05:09and this is the first runner-up.
05:10Bitch.
05:11No, I'm kidding.
05:13Was he on season 5?
05:14No.
05:15This is his first time.
05:16I waited 15 years. We're here.
05:18Yes.
05:19There you go.
05:21I always knew I wanted to do fashion.
05:23It was my dream to be on Project Runway, not my brother.
05:25My brother went in before me.
05:27But I never felt like I was living in his shadow.
05:31I'm talented.
05:33I'm excited to showcase my own creation.
05:36It's going to be my own vision,
05:37my own style outside of my brother.
05:39And I'm here to win.
05:406, 7, 8, 9, 10.
05:41We're done.
05:42We're done.
05:43We're done. Yeah, 12.
05:46There you go.
05:53Welcome home, Mama.
05:54Yes.
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.
06:04What do you want?
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.
06:17Yes!
06:18I'm good.
06:19So you want to know your first challenge?
06:20Absolutely.
06:21Okay, if you ask any designer where they first fell in love with fashion, I think one answer comes up more than any other.
06:35The Disney princess.
06:37Ooh!
06:38The princesses have inspired so many designers for decades.
06:43And as you know, behind every powerful princess, there's something lurking.
06:48Ooh!
06:49The Disney villains.
06:50The Disney villains.
06:52Yes!
06:53Not only were they scary, but they were fabulously evil.
06:58Aw!
06:59Okay, 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.
07:17I 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!
07:28No, I 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 at the Enchanted United Palace.
07:42Ooh!
07:43We only have one day to create this look.
07:48Whew!
07:49You guys have 45 minutes to brainstorm, to sketch, and then you run off to Moo to get your fabric.
07:55Woo!
07:56Oh god, do you believe that?
07:57I'm so happy to be here, and I can't believe I'm saying this again.
08:01I'll see you on the runway!
08:06Love you, Heidi.
08:08What's happening?
08:10I 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.
08:33Okay.
08:34Here we go, guys.
08:35Okay.
08:36All right.
08:37Our 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.
09:01And since I have a delicious, curvaceous girl as a model, I want to do a powerful suit,
09:08fit it all the way below the knee, and then it's gonna go out.
09:11I want to make sure her body looks like snatch.
09:13I think a villain has a good cape.
09:16And if I can switch up the idea of having a cape, would we like that?
09:21Yes.
09:22I grew up on a farm.
09:23When I created Utica, it was a conduit for my queer artistic energy.
09:29Because back on the farm, I am the gay community.
09:32I'm the mayor of Queerville.
09:34I mostly do these one-of-a-kind bespoke pieces for my community.
09:39But 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.
09:51It has to be cohesive.
09:52We should think of a theme, like a color palette.
09:55I work with my brother 24-7.
09:57So, 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 great.
10:08The fabric that I brought from home, it's literally that fabric, the butterfly.
10:13But it's in pink and it has orange-y tones.
10:17The butterflies are blue.
10:19So, let's have the inspiration of our collection be butterfly.
10:25Butterfly, yes.
10:27Cool with that?
10:28Yes.
10:29Um, okay.
10:30Butterfly fabric is not going on my design.
10:33I'm really sorry.
10:34I don't know if it's giving princess.
10:36It'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.
11:02What 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.
11:30I want brighter, too.
11:31Yeah.
11:32Antonio's butterfly fabric.
11:34It was pretty cool to me.
11:35But I already knew that I was going to do what I wanted to do.
11:38Anyway, so...
11:41Are you going to pull something from here?
11:43I don't even know.
11:45For me, the butterflies reprint this.
11:47But if they don't yet, they're crazy.
11:55All right, designer.
11:56$600 each.
11:5745 minutes to shop.
11:59Okay, go.
12:02Joseph McCray.
12:03Joseph McCray.
12:04Joseph McCray.
12:05You got to say the first with the last.
12:06Joseph McCray.
12:07You got to say the first with the last.
12:12Nah, this is too purple.
12:14Everybody's using this print.
12:15No, I'm the only one.
12:17But they all make sense.
12:18We got sequin.
12:19We have velvet.
12:20We've got your print.
12:21We have tulle.
12:22Our team had a plan coming into this.
12:24But now we're running around the store.
12:26Chicken with his head cut off.
12:28I'm like...
12:29And now we've got tweed.
12:30I don't know what's happening.
12:31Carisha, this is 2025, baby.
12:33Okay, I'm...
12:34Listen, I work in 2025.
12:36I'm doing okay.
12:37Come, come, come, come.
12:39Villain team, can I please have you and beat it, please?
12:42We have to have a meeting right now.
12:43I'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.
12:53Make sure it makes sense together.
12:56I need to get lining, so I'll be back, okay?
12:59Lining?
13:00Lining.
13:01Okay.
13:02Okay.
13:03Vijay is in her own bubble.
13:05She needs to be a team player.
13:07I don't know.
13:08My team is going everywhere, so I haven't been able to get them here.
13:11No meeting?
13:12Hope it looks good.
13:17Fiddling, fiddling.
13:18Here we go!
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 gorge.
13:40Take 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, and I lost track of time.
13:53I don't want that to happen again.
13:55So this challenge, I just think Sleeping Beauty and tulle ball gown.
14:00I'm going to play with layers of tulle that I'm pamphleting.
14:04Casey, I remember her from season 19.
14:08Her aesthetic is very loud, and yeah, it's pretty.
14:18Welcome to Project Runway season 21.
14:21My name is Vijay Floresca.
14:24Aside from being a fashion designer, I used to be a beauty queen.
14:32Here's my pageant wave.
14:35I was second runner-up in Project Runway Philippines season 1, and first runner-up in Dress My Tour.
14:42Being in those competitions will help me to finally win this competition.
14:47No more runner-ups, but to win the competition.
14:51How's it going, Diva?
14:53This one.
14:54This one.
14:58I can't really get a read on Vijay.
15:00This is a team challenge, and you have to be a little receptive to other people's critique and interest in what you're doing.
15:07She really is in her own zone.
15:09And to us, it seems like she's being an asshole.
15:24Let's do it!
15:27Let's get this party.
15:28Party!
15:29Get back to work.
15:32Color palette's coming together.
15:33Yeah.
15:34And that transition couldn't be any more perfect.
15:36I'm feeling like my team is a winning team.
15:39And I guess you can call me the team leader.
15:41Just because they actually fell in love with the fabric that I wanted to use for this challenge.
15:45But you know, I'm a Turner Strata.
15:47I can make anyone fall in love with anything.
15:50I think we're doing it, you guys.
15:51I think we're doing it.
15:52House of Princess.
15:53It's a lot of pink.
15:54It's a lot of ruffles.
15:55And there's some butterflies in there.
15:58It's not my flavor.
15:59I'm glad I'm not on Team Princess.
16:02Yeah, I hate it as well.
16:07Hey, BJ, how you doing?
16:10Huh?
16:11I think there's some people in my team that are not being team players.
16:15BJ's energy is very standoffish.
16:19It's a bit cheap.
16:20Why 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?
16:28That's why I'm asking.
16:29I'm using all of them because we're all using all of them.
16:30Okay.
16:31I'm almost done.
16:32So you don't have, like, one of them?
16:33No.
16:34Like, everybody's using all of them.
16:35Come on, girl.
16:36Um.
16:38You just decide to be lazy and not thread your own machine.
16:42This girl.
16:43The fight for the machine begins.
16:45Girl, relax.
16:46Like, you don't own the machines.
16:49You're using black thread, honey.
16:50I am as well.
16:51So, my bitch better not start.
16:54I don't like that shit.
16:55This is a competition.
16:56This is a competition.
16:57We're not here to meet friends.
16:59We're here to win this.
17:00And I think maybe Jesus wants to distract me.
17:03I'm not gonna give him that power.
17:05I'm just gonna ignore it.
17:06So, this is my villain-in-law.
17:08Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:10You don't wanna be in our bed tight.
17:11You know, bitch.
17:17Hello.
17:18First day!
17:19Yay!
17:20There's a lot going on in here.
17:23Yes, it is.
17:24Mm-hmm.
17:27Casey.
17:28Yes.
17:29Hi.
17:30Hi!
17:31We meet again.
17:32I know.
17:33I already need a martini.
17:34All right.
17:35What's happening?
17:36She'll be like a cake dress and the flowers.
17:38She's a cake.
17:39I'm just thinking, you know, there's ways to make this feel a bit more modern and cool.
17:45Okay.
17:46Like, 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.
18:13Wow.
18:14This is a little number, the 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
18:27at the structure and 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 repulsory fabric.
18:38People may not directly relate it to a princess, but listen, every princess need a jacket.
18:43I'm feeling low-key Tinkerbell for real, for real.
18:45Making these cohesive is still part of the challenge.
18:48Don't just make a fabulous look for you.
18:50I know you don't want to listen.
18:52This is a skin situation, but.
18:54Wait, that's all out?
18:56No, it's not.
18:57Wait.
18:58Wait.
18:59This is Disney.
19:00I know.
19:01I know.
19:02Where are my pearls?
19:03Antonio, 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
19:19the 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?
19:29But this one's done already.
19:30I'm just waiting for my model.
19:31It's done because literally, like, my intern could sew that in 30 minutes.
19:35Yeah.
19:36Like, that's not hard.
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.
19:49Like, 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.
20:15You-Chun, what is your work normally like?
20:22My work is more, like, very futuristic.
20:24Okay.
20:25Very 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.
20:38It's always very futuristic.
20:40It's very powerful.
20:41I'm here to challenge myself.
20:43My inspiration for this look is from Taka.
20:46So I'm making this, like, tulle and lace dress with flowers and veins growing all over.
20:52And with a veil.
20:53Please don't be ugly.
20:55Okay.
20:56Thank you, Christian.
20:57Jesus.
20:58Yes.
20:59What's happening?
21:00I'm basically doing a powerful coat dress.
21:02All right.
21:03To 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's gonna look.
21:16And I think it's elegant.
21:18Now 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.
21:31I'm doing my version of a cape, where the cape is gonna connect to the top of the head.
21:37Love it.
21:38And then clean, simple, classic underneath.
21:41Mm-hmm.
21:42So this is a pant and a top.
21:44Yep.
21:45Pant and a top.
21:46Then the twist.
21:47Oh, I love a twist.
21:48I will pattern in a curved glove pattern.
21:51I 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 Grant 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.
22:21VJ?
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.
23:08It 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.
23:34I know, but why lace?
23:35No one has lace.
23:36That's what I'm saying.
23:37No one has this leather.
23:38No one has this velvet.
23:39I'm adding velvet on mine.
23:41I'm adding your flower as well.
23:43Mr. 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.
23:50For the 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 am very competitive in there.
23:59I want to hold back.
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.
24:06I'm just saying if we want to make the collection cohesive.
24:11I know.
24:12You're the only one with lace.
24:14Wow, Yushin.
24:15He'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.
24:27Today's the first runway and I'm just so scared what's going to happen.
24:31Not myself, but for other designers.
24:33She'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.
24:43This is great.
24:44Look at the proportions.
24:45Look, you can't see her waist.
24:46You've got nothing.
24:47But I'm not going to make her look like a pinata.
24:49But 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.
24:58Silence in the top of the world.
25:01I'm just kidding.
25:02I'm just kidding.
25:03I'm just kidding.
25:04I'm just kidding.
25:05I'm just kidding.
25:06I'm just kidding.
25:07Where's the model?
25:08Oh, my God.
25:09This is more stressful than Cinderella at the ball.
25:11You are still sewing?
25:12No, this one like.
25:14Mmm.
25:15I'm doing Heidi in three, two.
25:18Hi, everybody.
25:21Hi.
25:22Hi.
25:23All 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.
25:38Serious.
25:39Baby, that woman is powerful.
25:42I 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?
26:03And 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.
26:20For our first challenge, our designers formed fashion houses.
26:23Two teams of six designers creating cohesive collections inspired by Disney princesses or Disney villains.
26:33Let's start the show!
26:43I 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.
26:55You can wear it now.
26:56It's not so costuming.
26:57I think it's beautiful.
26:59I'm a wizard gonna pull an ace.
27:01Seeing my look go down the runway, I'm really happy.
27:04I'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.
27:19I love the way the light hits the velvet.
27:22The collar is exciting.
27:25It gives drama.
27:26It's made well, too.
27:27I couldn't be more pleased that this is the first piece that the judges see from me.
27:34I am so happy.
27:37She's giving me a villain vibe.
27:40The leather is moving.
27:42The pants is well made.
27:44Perfectly tailored for her.
27:46It's like I'm so speechless.
27:47Wow.
27:48I'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.
28:08This 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.
28:26I hope that they get a good meal from what I'm serving.
28:30Yes!
28:37I feel the Joseph McCray princess gracing the space.
28:40I just cannot take my eyes off with my girl, because she is so beautiful.
28:46And I did that.
28:47Did you say a daytime princess?
28:48Daytime.
28:49She's going to lunch.
28:54I think it looks cute.
28:55I think she looks good.
28:57I feel good, actually.
28:58I just am not the kind of person to be like, oh, my God.
29:02Whoever 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.
29:22I'm feeling emotional and happy of the work.
29:24Seeing my model in my beautiful butterfly fabric that I brought from home makes me feel so nurtured, love, and accomplished.
29:33Is that camouflage?
29:35It's like a butterfly print.
29:37She is just floating in my gown, and it's exactly the feeling I wanted.
29:46It is modern princess feeling.
29:49I love how the tool floats.
29:53It's like a little dance happening on the fabric.
29:56I feel very proud.
30:00Seeing my princess slash queen garment, whoo, I think she definitely owned the space.
30:06I knew that it was over.
30:12Designers, congratulations!
30:14That was a very special first show.
30:16Well done!
30:18Now we have to see which house has a fairytale ending, and which one just ends.
30:24My heart is racing, and I love my look.
30:27I'm sure the judges want to see more of me.
30:29I mean, what is there not to love of Antonio, right?
30:32But you never know. It's anyone's game.
30:36You never know.
30:40Welcome to your home away from home, the runway.
30:43Amazing.
30:45This was a great first challenge.
30:47And applause to all of you guys, because really everyone did a great job.
30:52But we're going to start nitpicking now.
30:54We 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 from the losing house.
31:07The winning house for this challenge is...
31:10House of Villains.
31:11This team was a hard one to work with, but we won. We won. We won.
31:24Congratulations.
31:26Unfortunately, that means House of Princes. You were the losing house.
31:30You can leave the runway. We'll talk to you later. Thank you.
31:36Oh, my God. I didn't think I belonged here. I am shocked.
31:44What just happened?
31:46This feels horrible.
31:47So, congratulations. You guys are winning a house.
31:53Your 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.
32:10Ethan.
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, DJ.
32:37You're safe, and you can leave the runway. Thank you so much.
32:39Thank 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.
32:59And 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. Thank you.
33:36Just say.
33:37I'm versatile.
33:38All right.
33:39Oh, me, too.
33:43Ethan, we're going to talk to you next.
33:45Hello, distinguished panel of judges.
33:48Okay.
33:50Your 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.
34:09Velvet 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. And 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.
34:58For me, it was very important to make her feel sexy. And I think that I embody that.
35:03I love the coat. I think it's fabulous.
35:06I hated it. I was the only one. I was out judged.
35:10Hate is such a big word. It's a short word. It's only four letters.
35:13I'm sorry if you hate the coat. I hate the whole look.
35:21Aw, don't get emotional. Please, we liked it.
35:26I love how your model looks. She feels regal. We need ambitious designers.
35:32Yes.
35:33Guys, 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.
35:43I have clients of all different sizes, ages. And 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.
35:55If 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?
36:05Yeah.
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.
36:13Then I think you look beautiful.
36:15Okay.
36:16All right. Now it's time to name our winner.
36:19Congratulations, Ethan. You're the winner of this challenge.
36:32Yes.
36:33Shut up.
36:35Crown me, baby, because the queen is on top this week.
36:41Yurika won.
36:44Ethan.
36:45Ethan.
36:46Ethan.
36:47Ethan.
36:48Ethan.
36:49Ah!
36:50Feels right.
36:51La Roche was rocked.
36:53I'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. I'm gagged.
37:05But 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?
37:17Oh, good.
37:18Yeah?
37:19And does it really get some, like, you know, very good advices, you know?
37:22But 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. Just, 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? You're saying everyone take a piece of the lace from your chest.
37:39Did I say that? Everybody 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. 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?
37:52You're getting really offended? Really is throwing me off?
37:56All right, all right, all right. Like, seriously?
37:58Mm-hmm. You know what you're doing, girl.
37:59No. Shut up.
38:00I don't know what I'm doing.
38:01You don't know.
38:02You don't know.
38:03No. You don't know. Mm-mm.
38:05Child.
38:09All right, let's bring out House of Princess.
38:17House 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.
38:27Balania, Madeline, Joan, you're safe, and you can leave the runway.
38:34Thank you, Kamani.
38:36Whoo!
38:37Whoo!
38:38Unfortunately, that means Casey, Joseph, and Antonio. You had the three bottom looks.
38:53Am I being punk?
38:57No.
38:58Okay.
38:59Mm-hmm.
39:00All right, let's bring out your models.
39:04Joseph, we're gonna start with you first. Like, I did not see the inspo. I knew that that was you, but I just don't get Princess from this thing.
39:10I wish that you would have picked Elaine. You have volume, but then you have her wrapped up in this skirt that seems to be strangling her. It's a question of proportions. You're playing with too many.
39:23I disagree. I enjoy the way you play with proportions. I like the coat. He popped that coat off, and it was a sweetheart bodice dress.
39:36But it isn't. I like it. I think she's looked really cool. I can see some of my clients wearing this.
39:51To me.
39:52We agreed to disagree.
39:53Yeah, we agreed to disagree.
39:54Can she turn around? Yeah.
39:57No, the back isn't great. This is not. I'm sorry.
39:59The back is a couch cushion.
40:00Okay, Antonio.
40:01If you had asked ChatGBT to help you make a John Batista Valley for $100, then that's what that look was.
40:15After Christian's critiques, I did change my look a few times, and there is another dress underneath.
40:21Is the dress still underneath?
40:22Yeah. Let's see it. Let's see it, yeah.
40:25Well, Christian told me his intern can make that dress in 30 minutes.
40:28Oh, you can't blame it on everything on Christian.
40:31I just think this dress underneath an intern could make it in 30 minutes. It'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? I 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.
40:51Oh, thank you.
40:52But this is not how we saw it. She 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. You're here now.
41:01No, I'm not blaming Christian.
41:02I wrote...
41:03He knows.
41:04I'm a Gemini, and I don't like people telling me what to do.
41:07And I was like, you're an adult. You're going to listen to Christian. He's here for a reason.
41:12He's your mentor, and I did listen to him. And that's why I changed my look three times.
41:15And, you know, you pushed me to be better.
41:17Oh, he's spicy.
41:18The inspo of the butterfly comes from which princess?
41:21Which princess? I mean, every princess.
41:25Antonio, but you're being so defensive.
41:27No, I'm not.
41:28We're just trying to understand your work.
41:29No, I'm trying to explain myself. I'm sorry if I'm coming out.
41:31Right, but I don't think there's any reason to be defensive.
41:34No, I'm not being defensive at all. I'm just explaining myself. Sorry if I'm coming out.
41:37No, I think Nina's right to call that out. I think you are being defensive and also a little bit rude.
41:43It's okay to be criticized and to be, you know, let down by the criticism, but to kind of, like, throw it back.
41:53Your response has really been really quite nasty. I'm just letting you know.
41:58Okay.
41:59One girl to another.
42:00Maybe it's my Latina side.
42:01Maybe.
42:05Next.
42:08Casey, let's talk about your look.
42:10I really love this jacquard. And I wish that all this other stuff would disappear.
42:17I don't know. To me, it looks like a nightgown. You 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.
42:31Yeah.
42:32A hundred percent.
42:34I want to see, like, more design. It's not inspiring.
42:37I love the deep plunge. I just think it was a miss, because you had everything to make something so beautiful and so fairytale-like, and you kind of missed it.
42:48I hear you.
42:49All right, designers, we have to make a decision. You can leave the runway. Thank you.
42:55This is so much fun. I love this job.
43:02Yeah, well, I can tell.
43:05I don't know if they're going to make it out alive at the end.
43:10Can you see?
43:12What's happening?
43:13You're good.
43:14But you know what?
43:15I still love the drive.
43:17I hate that.
43:18I 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. The combination of fabrics were very wonderful.
43:30He's like, I'm making what I make. Couches.
43:34Casey, Nina, what did you think?
43:36The dress was a complete mess.
43:38It was horrible.
43:39And boring, too.
43:40It literally, like, she took a staple gun. It was just like...
43:43No, it was awful.
43:44I'm an adult, and I'm going to take criticism about bitch. When 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... I liked that it was a coat.
43:56I 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, I'm like, oh, bitch.
44:04That attitude is so bad.
44:07Then he said, it's probably just the Latina in me, girl.
44:10I was like, yeah, all right.
44:12That's not an excuse.
44:13So with my Nina, baby.
44:15Yeah.
44:16You could be very talented, but if you have a bad attitude and you can't work with others in this industry, we have seen it.
44:24Bad attitude is a problem.
44:27I'm so proud of myself.
44:31It's just very emotional, you know, and intense.
44:34Like, it'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.
44:46Never thought I'd be in the bottom three.
44:48At this stage of the competition again.
44:50Like, 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.
45:00It's so mean.
45:02I know.
45:03Why am I here?
45:05I 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?
45:13Do I really need this?
45:14It's like, let's just go home.
45:17So do we stay home the bad dress or the bad attitude?
45:22I want to go home.
45:23No.
45:25If I stay, my attitude's going to be worse.
