00:00Previously on Project Runway
00:02You will be creating an avant-garde look
00:06based on the upcoming movie, Wicked for Good.
00:10These decisions are the ones that are going to push me into the finale,
00:13so I've got to make the right decisions.
00:14Knowing the two of us are going home, I can't mess this up.
00:18Jesus said you copied his color.
00:22Get it straight, bitch. I never said that he was copying me.
00:25Don't put words in my mouth. Y'all are spicy.
00:27You think you can do all this? That's a lot of work.
00:30I can handle it.
00:31It really is pushing the boundaries.
00:33It's gorge. Thank you.
00:35This is unique. This is special.
00:38There was a lot of creativity to it. I really loved it.
00:41Does it read Wicked? No.
00:43The construction on the actual dress is really beautiful.
00:46Let's talk about the bag.
00:47This is catastrophic.
00:50I think it's absolutely stunning.
00:52Everybody took a chance. This was pretty safe.
00:54Should you be in the finale?
00:56What two designers should come with you?
00:59Ethan and Belaña because we need the money more.
01:03What makes you think that?
01:05It's a hard chance to speak.
01:06I like to work with people who are kind and humble.
01:09Are you saying that we're not kind and humble?
01:11Oh, my God.
01:12You're the one that started all the drama in this competition, BJ,
01:15and you know that.
01:16So don't stand right here and look like you're the innocent girl.
01:19You're the one with the big mouth.
01:21They're attacking me.
01:22I'm not going to stand there and have them humiliate me.
01:24Especially this bitch.
01:25Antonio, relax.
01:27He is going to leave and I know my brother.
01:29She doesn't know my financials.
01:30Who the is she?
01:32I'm going home.
01:35A state for the winner is $200,000,
01:38a spread in Elle magazine,
01:40and a life-changing mentorship with the CFDA.
01:44This is Project Runway.
01:50They can have the third spot.
01:52I don't want it.
01:53Shame on you, BJ,
01:54because you know that we're the most humble people that you've met.
01:57Did you hear anything from me
01:59when you stood there saying that,
02:03among all of the other designers,
02:04you don't want to take me to the top three?
02:06You didn't hear anything from me
02:08because I respect your opinion.
02:11BJ is a vicious snake.
02:13Antonio and I have been nothing but humble
02:15and caretaking throughout this whole competition.
02:18The way that you said it,
02:19like how you said,
02:20we could use the money more than them.
02:24I mean, it's just your thought and opinion.
02:26Exactly.
02:26No way.
02:27BJ has a point.
02:28Y'all are very established.
02:30So, like, in a way,
02:31there is some truth to that.
02:32It's not just me.
02:33Other people can also see it.
02:35Because if you're arrogant,
02:36it's fine to be arrogant.
02:38That's who you are.
02:38If you're cocky, it's fine.
02:40But you need to own it.
02:43They're so...
02:45As they should be as a competition.
02:47They want to fight each other.
02:48They want to fight y'all.
02:50I was like, whew.
02:51The question is,
02:52what designers deserve to go to the finale
02:55and which two should be out?
02:57What about Belania?
02:58You knew exactly who she was as a designer.
03:00Yeah.
03:01As much as I loved it,
03:03she kind of redesigns the look
03:05that we've loved over and over and over again
03:07with the many different pieces.
03:09I mean, we want to see a collection
03:10where people don't play it safe.
03:12And we want a surprise.
03:14But still see their DNA as a designer,
03:16but you want something new.
03:17I like Belania.
03:18I feel like she could be a winner.
03:19Ethan's I love.
03:21It gave me Wicked in an unexpected way.
03:25In a way that I had not seen Wicked before.
03:28I'm on guard.
03:29But it's not as original as Jesus,
03:32in my opinion.
03:33What Jesus did immediately,
03:36Wicked.
03:37I can totally see Cynthia wearing this.
03:39Yeah.
03:39It was like, you know,
03:40already in the silhouette,
03:41I was like, wow.
03:42She looked stunning.
03:44Okay.
03:44But are his clothes up to par?
03:48I think so.
03:49I'm not sure.
03:51So do we think his brother deserves a spot?
03:54He has tried very hard.
03:55This competition means a lot to him.
03:58For sure.
03:58But, I mean, think about Antonio's work.
04:02It's inconsistent.
04:04It's sloppy.
04:06I don't think he is an evolved designer.
04:09I don't think he's ready.
04:10I agree.
04:11I question a lot of their attitude
04:13after what we just heard.
04:15Vijay's a threat.
04:16Vijay is a threat to them.
04:17But not on brand.
04:19When I think about Wicked,
04:20I think about green,
04:21I think about pink,
04:22and that's it.
04:23Same.
04:24We all wonder,
04:25why is her look red?
04:26She took a chance.
04:28She showed something
04:28that was very unique to her.
04:32It was really creative.
04:34Yeah.
04:34So have we made our decision?
04:38Yes, we have.
04:40I'm going to go check on Antonio.
04:43At this point,
04:44I want to go home.
04:45I'm done.
04:46But I spoke to the producers.
04:48If my brother makes it to the finale,
04:50he is going to need me
04:52if they're bringing designers back to help.
04:54I just don't know
04:55how much more I can take.
04:58How do you feel?
04:59Like I want to go home?
05:01This is my daily business for us.
05:04I really, truly do believe,
05:06really, really think
05:07I can make this for us.
05:09Because if I make this
05:10is for both of us,
05:12you know that we need this money, bitch,
05:13and I'm going to do everything.
05:14I'm so tired.
05:16My brother needs me.
05:18And we've made it this far,
05:19so no matter what happens,
05:22we're still going to be there
05:23for each other.
05:24I would do anything for my brother.
05:25I love you.
05:26I love you more.
05:28All right, let's bring them back in.
05:30This was tough, you guys.
05:41All five of you
05:42have really shown
05:42some brilliant designs.
05:44But unfortunately,
05:45only three of you
05:46will move on to the big finale.
05:49And two of you will be out.
05:51But first,
05:53it's time to name the winner.
05:54The winning look
05:55was the most popular
05:56wicked-for-good look.
06:01Congratulations.
06:03Ethan, you are the winner,
06:05and that means
06:05you're moving on
06:06to the finale.
06:08Shut up.
06:09F*** up.
06:13I'm the better.
06:14I'm what they call
06:16good.
06:20I am in shock.
06:22I really thought
06:23that I had this in the bag.
06:25At this point,
06:26I'm just hoping
06:27my name is Ned.
06:28The next designer
06:29heading to the finale is...
06:36Jesus, you're going
06:38to the finale?
06:40Congratulations.
06:41Thank you so much.
06:42I'm full of gratitude
06:43and humbleness
06:45to be standing here.
06:47I feel so amazing.
06:49I'm so proud of myself.
06:50I'm so proud of everything
06:51I did throughout
06:52this whole competition.
06:53I'm so grateful
06:54for the opportunity.
06:56Sadly, only one more
06:57of you will be moving forward.
07:01The look that you created,
07:02Antonio, was beautiful,
07:04but we feel like
07:05we've seen it before.
07:07BJ, we loved your construction,
07:09but the choice of color
07:11had the judges confused.
07:13Melania, we believe
07:15that your designs
07:17defy streetwear,
07:18but we don't believe
07:19they would be popular
07:20on the runway.
07:23Antonio, Bolania,
07:25Vijay, one of you
07:26will be moving forward
07:27to the finale.
07:32Vijay,
07:33congratulations.
07:37You're moving forward
07:37to the finale.
07:38Oh, thank you.
07:43Oh, my God.
07:44Oh, my God.
07:50Yes, I'm going
07:51to the finale
07:52one step closer.
07:54Unfortunately,
07:55that means Antonio
07:56and Bolania,
07:57you're out.
07:59You're amazing designers,
08:01and I'll be looking out
08:02for you guys.
08:03Not glad about
08:04leaving the competition,
08:05but it feels good
08:07that I made it
08:07very close to the end.
08:09I have confidence
08:10in what I design
08:12and this newfound
08:14je ne sais quoi
08:15about myself.
08:16Now that I have
08:17this new lens,
08:18it's only up from here.
08:19I'm proud.
08:20I really appreciate
08:21this opportunity.
08:22Thank you, Antonio.
08:23Thank you, Heidi.
08:25I feel like maybe
08:26they did the right decision.
08:28I don't know
08:29if I have the capacity
08:30or the mental ability
08:32to do a collection.
08:34I am exhausted,
08:36but I am full of gratitude
08:38for the opportunity.
08:39I am very, very proud
08:40of what I created,
08:42and I can't wait
08:43to see my brother's collection.
08:45Congratulations!
08:46You're the final three!
08:48Oh, my God.
08:50Well, let me tell you
08:51about the finale.
08:52You will have five days
08:54to create a collection
08:55of five looks,
08:56and that should showcase
08:57you as a designer.
08:58At stake for the winners
08:59is $200,000,
09:01six months of representation
09:02from Agent 3 PR,
09:04a spread in Elle magazine,
09:06and a life-changing mentorship
09:07with the CFDA.
09:09Wow.
09:10So the pressure is on.
09:11This is an incredible opportunity.
09:13Stay true to who you are.
09:16Ethan and Jesus said
09:17that they don't want me
09:19to be in the finale,
09:20but I'm still here.
09:22I want to see your point of view
09:23and bigger and better
09:24and more exciting.
09:25They tried to tear me down.
09:27They tried to separate
09:27Antonio and I and Vijay.
09:29You have created a monster.
09:31Honestly, this is giving me
09:33such fuel to just create
09:35the most beautiful collection
09:37in the history of Project Runway.
09:38So now it's game on.
09:40Good luck to all of you.
09:42Make the best bitch win.
09:43I want to add color.
09:54This is it.
09:54It's finale.
09:55It's five pieces in five days.
09:57This is the one.
09:59I'm not going to hold back.
10:03I'm doing pink
10:05because if Antonio made it
10:07to the finale,
10:07he wanted to do a pink collection.
10:09No one will ever understand
10:11the bond and the connection
10:13that I have with Antonio.
10:14I wanted to do something
10:15very special for him.
10:17So I'm doing tones of pinks
10:18for my collection.
10:20But also,
10:20that's my mom's favorite color.
10:22She's been my biggest inspiration in life.
10:24She's such a warrior
10:25and she always wants to feel beautiful.
10:28So my goal for this collection
10:29is to make women feel beautiful,
10:32sexy,
10:33and make them feel
10:34like the best version of themselves.
10:36This is going to be sick.
10:37Oh, hello.
10:38My inspiration for this collection
10:40is rich
10:41and I really want my work
10:43to look expensive and regal.
10:45Two of these.
10:47I'm going for fuel tones.
10:49I'm going for crystal.
10:51I want it to allude
10:52to how Utica makes me feel.
10:55Powerful and free.
10:57And so I want to be able
10:58to amplify that in my clothes
11:00and present that on the runway.
11:02When you find cool shit,
11:04you find cool shit.
11:06I've worked my little bony ass
11:08off,
11:09but I'm a little bit intimidated.
11:11I've not only not done
11:12a collection before,
11:14but like the other contestants
11:15are established designers already.
11:19Wish me luck.
11:20Oh!
11:25Hi.
11:26Do you have a leather
11:27that kind of looks like metal?
11:30Yeah.
11:30You know the Mercury Man
11:32from the movie Terminator?
11:33Yeah, yeah.
11:34Yeah, so I kind of want
11:35to achieve that using leather.
11:37So this collection
11:38is inspired by this character.
11:40He just transforms
11:41into different various shapes.
11:44Is it?
11:45Oh my God, yes.
11:46Oh my God.
11:47I'm obsessed with it.
11:49I'm exploring the idea
11:51of asymmetry,
11:52different angles,
11:53and different weird shapes.
11:55I want to achieve
11:56that villain power
11:57that that character has.
11:59Like, you know,
12:00like you can't kill him.
12:01And for me,
12:02I've been through a lot,
12:03but I'm still here.
12:05You can't kill me.
12:06Oh my God,
12:08I'm so excited.
12:09Hey, is this my life right now?
12:12All sunshine, no clouds?
12:15Wow.
12:16Wow.
12:16Oh my gosh,
12:17we have our own sewing machine?
12:23Yeah.
12:24Come on.
12:27Aggressive.
12:27B-E-A-G-R-E.
12:29B-E-A-G-R-E.
12:32Yes!
12:32That's the second half.
12:36Don't throw me out.
12:38Oh my God.
12:41Oh, I love you so much.
12:42Sorry.
12:42Oh my God.
12:44Everybody try to separate us,
12:46but bitch, I'm back.
12:47Are you ready?
12:48Ah!
12:49It's pink.
12:50It's pink for you.
12:52I really just need
12:53Antonio's energy
12:54to be around
12:55because it's been
12:56really tough competition.
12:57I'm ready.
12:58You're ready?
12:59Yeah.
12:59He will boost me up
13:00and remind me
13:01why I'm here.
13:02I really want to win this.
13:03And with his help,
13:04I can achieve that.
13:05You're going to go for Iggy.
13:07Yeah.
13:07Yeah.
13:08Do you want to hold my boobs?
13:08Okay.
13:09Yeah.
13:09My plan is
13:10I can be
13:11an emotional support for him
13:13and I'm a very good sewer
13:14so I can sewing my ass
13:16out of it.
13:16What are you going to do?
13:17We're going to make
13:18some cool shit.
13:19Tell me what is going on.
13:21Ooh.
13:22This is beautiful.
13:24Oh, I want to see
13:24your collection.
13:25This one.
13:26I want to see
13:27your collection.
13:28No, not yet.
13:29Oh, now you know
13:31she wasn't going
13:31to let you
13:32touch.
13:32Bitch.
13:35You close that
13:36button
13:36like I'll
13:37snatch your finger.
13:40Drama in the workroom,
13:42honey.
13:43Well, it ain't going to be
13:43all kumbaya.
13:46I think that Jesus
13:47wants to see
13:48my work
13:49so that he can elevate
13:50his taste level
13:51a little more.
13:55And we're back.
13:56It's the morning
13:59of day two.
14:01We have a lot
14:02to do.
14:03You know,
14:04I didn't go to like
14:04fashion design school.
14:06I didn't go to
14:07pattern school.
14:08So sometimes I feel
14:09like I skip a lot
14:10of steps to create
14:11my work.
14:13Voila.
14:13Like I love draping.
14:14I love like creating
14:16beautiful shapes
14:17on the mannequin.
14:18And once I get the vibe,
14:18I can just dive in
14:20and create beautiful pieces.
14:21I love it.
14:23Eden's collection
14:24is very hem,
14:25of course,
14:26but have I seen it before?
14:27Yes.
14:29Hmm.
14:31So today,
14:32the first thing
14:33that I need to figure out
14:35is how I'm going to execute
14:36what I have in mind.
14:38It's so abstract
14:39that it can lead
14:41to a disaster
14:42or it can lead
14:43to a success.
14:45I think I'm really
14:46ahead of the game
14:46right now.
14:47I have so many pieces,
14:48so many ideas
14:49that I can't wait
14:50to share with Christian,
14:51but DJ is giving
14:52nothing.
14:54Hi, Christian.
14:57Hi.
14:58This is my favorite time.
15:00Model casting.
15:01Yay!
15:02I'm excited.
15:04Oh, my God.
15:05Oh, my God.
15:07Oh, my God.
15:08Amanda.
15:09Yes, cowgirl.
15:10Ah!
15:11Ah!
15:11Ah!
15:12Ah!
15:12Ah!
15:13Ah!
15:13Ah!
15:13Ah!
15:14Ah!
15:14Ah!
15:14Ah!
15:15Ah!
15:15Ah!
15:15Ah!
15:15Ah!
15:16Ah!
15:16Ah!
15:17I'm open to casting
15:19some male models.
15:20Can you walk in heels?
15:21Yes, I actually do drag.
15:22Oh!
15:23Okay, well,
15:24I think Ethan just
15:24got inspired, honey.
15:26It would be so fun
15:27to just bend the gender.
15:29Ah!
15:30Check out my skin.
15:30Ah!
15:31Oh, my God.
15:32Oh, my God.
15:32Oh, my God.
15:32Oh, my God.
15:33Oh, my God.
15:33Oh, my God.
15:34Oh, my God.
15:34Oh, my God.
15:35Oh, my God.
15:35Oh, my God.
15:36Oh, my God.
15:36Jessica has literally
15:37become a muse.
15:38She's won two challenges
15:40with my designs.
15:41I feel like Jessica
15:42was brought to me
15:44for a reason.
15:44Everything that I make for her,
15:46it's exactly
15:47who I want to be
15:48as a designer.
15:49We're gonna keep our muses.
15:50I don't know.
15:52Everybody wants
15:53to work with Jessica.
15:54She's tall.
15:55She has a very fierce walk.
15:57I really want to work with her
15:59if Jesus doesn't get to her first.
16:02No way in hell
16:02is Jesus gonna let go of Jessica.
16:04He's so possessive
16:05over his models.
16:06Watch me walk.
16:11Oh, my God.
16:13Mimi is back
16:14and she's here for vengeance.
16:15Oh, my God.
16:16It was a huge achievement
16:18for the trans community,
16:20for Mimi
16:21to be the first trans woman model
16:24ever appeared in Project Runway.
16:26It's no brainer
16:27not to pick her
16:28as my finale model.
16:30Love you, guys.
16:32Okay.
16:33Are we ready?
16:34Yes.
16:34Write your name down
16:35and I will draw.
16:36Clear.
16:37Having the right models
16:38is essential.
16:40They're the ones
16:41who are going to sell our work.
16:42They're the difference
16:44between winning the whole thing
16:45or going home with nothing.
16:48Okay, Vijay, you go first.
16:51Ethan, you go second.
16:53Ajax, you go third.
16:55Pick who you really want first, you guys.
17:01Jessica.
17:02Oh, wow.
17:03Wow.
17:04Really?
17:05Yeah, I really want to work with her.
17:09Really, Vijay?
17:10Like, you know I really want to keep her as a muse.
17:13And I talked about it.
17:14I really want to work with her.
17:16I know, but honestly,
17:17you know my dynamic,
17:19how spiritual I am with her?
17:21You bitch.
17:22Girl, messy.
17:24There's so many models.
17:26You had to pick Jessica?
17:28I haven't worked with her yet.
17:29No, you've been a-
17:29You've worked with her so many times.
17:31This muses thing, I don't even buy it.
17:34The reality of this competition is that
17:36Jesus has been hostaging Jessica.
17:39And I think it's very unfair.
17:41Jessica is one of the strongest models.
17:44You're just being a spiteful bitch like you are.
17:46No, I didn't want to work with her.
17:47You are a spiteful bitch.
17:48That's what you are.
17:49Oh my God.
17:50No, don't say, oh my God.
17:52You know what you do and what you cost.
17:54So now, guess what?
17:57It's gonna be a lot of tension in this workroom.
17:59There goes BJ again, stirring the pot.
18:02You know, creating drama.
18:04I don't know if she's doing it to piss me off,
18:06but she knew that that was really gonna make me upset
18:09and she did it.
18:10A friend would not do that.
18:11I mean, it's the finale.
18:13It's getting cutthroat.
18:19You're just being a spiteful bitch like you are.
18:21No, I really want to work with her.
18:22You are a f***ing spiteful bitch.
18:24Why are you doing this in front of Christian?
18:26Wildly inappropriate.
18:28When you don't get what you want,
18:29you don't throw a tantrum.
18:31And also, Vijay, like, why are you purposely
18:33messing with Jesus?
18:35Like, what game are you trying to play?
18:38Because you know what she means to me.
18:39You say, I want to be friends.
18:41I want to be friends when this is over.
18:42Guess what?
18:43You're not gonna be my friend, bitch.
18:45Because you're spiteful.
18:46I think if you're only comfortable using one model,
18:49you're not a good designer.
18:50But I don't want drama.
18:52I just want to focus with doing my collection.
18:55So fine, you know,
18:57Jesus, go take Jessica and just leave me alone.
19:01Okay, so yeah, get her.
19:05You're welcome.
19:07Okay.
19:08Sorry for calling me a bitch.
19:09It's okay, yeah.
19:11You have been a bitch.
19:13Zero to 60, oh my God, I'm getting a workout.
19:15No more dramatic outbursts.
19:18Spicy in the workroom.
19:20All right, I'm gonna walk around.
19:22Wow, oh my God, there's things done?
19:25We got a lot of girls.
19:27I'm making collection of gowns.
19:29I want to bring back notes of what I'm really good at.
19:32I can really slay a gown.
19:35And yeah, I just want to show that I can, you know,
19:38bring something magical to the runway.
19:40This one is a little cowl gown.
19:42So it covers the head.
19:44I see Ethan doing this beaded helmet.
19:47It reminds me of the look from the avant-garde challenge.
19:50We already know that the judges
19:52want to see something new from us.
19:54Why is he doing the same thing?
19:56I love this one.
19:57Yeah, got little hands to come out.
19:59They're literally going to be like,
20:00you just made this look.
20:01And that I think would make you not win just right from that.
20:03Really?
20:04Definitely, 100%.
20:07This one, I think, is in an OK place.
20:09The cowl is really cool.
20:11I just think, again, like the same thing.
20:15I have five pieces draped on the dress form
20:18to try to fill out this collection.
20:20And Christian is saying no to all of them.
20:23So what are we doing?
20:24How are we going to change it?
20:25My lack of experience is showing.
20:28This is a lot to take on in this amount of time.
20:30So I'm like freaking out.
20:32I want to win.
20:34So this is going to be the biggest pivot of all.
20:43I see a lot of confusion in Ethan.
20:45Since he's never done a collection, I'm nervous for him.
20:48And there's really nothing you can do about that.
20:50He just has to figure it out.
20:52Wow, we're pink and feathery.
20:54Yes.
20:55It's a party.
20:56It's only five looks.
20:57So you got lots of options if one doesn't work.
21:00Yeah.
21:01The challenge was to do five looks.
21:03But I was never going to just have five looks because I am an extremely fast sewer.
21:09So I think my strategy is to have more looks.
21:12So I have the opportunity in this next few days to just take things away and edit.
21:17You know, you're really committing to pink.
21:19Law is going to say it's Valentino Collection Valentino Pink, right?
21:23I just think it's nice to have a little break.
21:26Christian's right.
21:27I know the judges don't react well with references.
21:30So I have to make sure that I stay true to myself, my aesthetic, and my DNA.
21:34Okay.
21:35I'm obsessed with this.
21:36It's cool.
21:37Yeah.
21:38Yeah.
21:39I mean, it's beautiful.
21:40Yeah.
21:41And it just breaks it up a little bit.
21:42Yes.
21:43I just don't want you to make any silhouette that feels like it's been done.
21:46Done.
21:47Yeah.
21:48Like that gown.
21:49I love that shape.
21:50But I think you can make a cooler, more interesting shape.
21:52I want you to push it.
21:53Yeah.
21:54Don't you?
21:55Yeah.
21:56I want to show who the Estrada girl is.
21:57Sexy, sophisticated, with a touch of glamour.
22:00I truly do feel like I can win this because I know what I'm capable of doing.
22:05And I can push myself.
22:07Vijay, you have nothing made.
22:09Yeah.
22:10Have you kind of sketched it out?
22:11Since my collection is this transforming mercury dye, I'm trying to manipulate the leather panels to create these different angles and different weird shapes so that it looks like a liquid metal.
22:24Right now, I have a strong concept in mind, but I feel like that I'm falling behind.
22:30Why don't you cut this in the leather?
22:32Okay.
22:33Start to stitch it and see what it looks like.
22:36I don't know what Vijay's doing.
22:38All I'm seeing is just little glimpses of silver.
22:40And she seems a little confused.
22:42You got nothing on your dress form.
22:45What is happening?
22:46I think Vijay's in trouble.
22:49You got to kind of just stop playing around with the conceptual ideas and you just got to do it.
22:54Yeah.
22:55I'm very determined to show the judges things that I've never done before.
23:00Compared to Ethan and Jesus, who just using the same pattern over and over again.
23:05It's a very risky move for a finale collection.
23:08But taking this risk is the only way that I can win this competition.
23:12Let's hope that I don't it up.
23:19Yeah, let's circle like a sleeve.
23:24Okay.
23:25We need to drape this around her.
23:27Day three.
23:28I have been forced to pivot, but somehow I did it.
23:32It's a little lot of work.
23:33So I'm really proud of myself.
23:35Now I can just really focus on the model fitting.
23:38We only get two model fittings.
23:40So if you don't have something to fit on the first one, you're a .
23:45I know I can't do what I can do.
23:46Oh!
23:47Oh!
23:48Oh!
23:49Hi baby!
23:50Hi!
23:51Hi baby!
23:52Hi baby!
23:53Hi baby!
23:54All right, dive in.
23:55The fifth.
23:56Oh!
23:57First thing comes in 15 minutes.
24:00Which is, I think we got this.
24:02I'll make sure that I like, get him up there.
24:05Wow!
24:06Hey Zeus, this top, you love it?
24:08Perfect?
24:09No, it's a maybe.
24:10It's a maybe.
24:11What's the other option?
24:12This could be something cool with this, right?
24:14I'm so happy that I kept my strategy.
24:17I have more than five looks at this point.
24:20I have a couple of separates.
24:21So now it's just piecing stuff together.
24:23I have to pick the right ones.
24:25I feel like this one needs a little something.
24:27No, let it be simple.
24:28Would it make like a silver belt?
24:30No!
24:31You've got so much going on.
24:33This is like a present.
24:34Like, yeah.
24:35Try this one more and more and more and more.
24:36You gotta play around with this a little bit.
24:38Yeah, yeah.
24:39It's making me nervous to see that Jesus already has done a lot.
24:44But me, I'm still figuring it out.
24:46So that is really scary because this is not the right time to figure things out.
24:51What's going on over here?
24:53We're still figuring out.
24:54BJ.
24:55Mimi has no dress at all.
24:56Do you know what you're doing, BJ?
24:58I am envisioning Mimi wearing this beautiful silver chainmail kind of fabric.
25:06When I picked that fabric, it was actually a strategy.
25:09Because I know that the judges love sparkly fabrics on the runway.
25:13But I haven't started yet.
25:14You gotta drape Mimi.
25:16Okay, yes.
25:17Because you have no gown.
25:18Yeah, okay.
25:19Get naked.
25:20I'm a little nervous over here.
25:23Let's go on the mirror.
25:26It takes a lot of guts to use that fabric.
25:29Because if not done right, it's gonna look cheap.
25:33And it's gonna look costumey.
25:35So today, I need to start draping that fabric with Mimi.
25:40She is my finale look.
25:42So I am going to be in a bad situation if this chainmail gown does not work.
25:47Wow, so much energy.
25:50Wow, it's all different.
25:51This happened today.
25:53My new plan is to marry my Utica sensibilities with my Ethan strength as a creator.
25:59And bridge the two to create a really cool collection that is also kind of accessible.
26:04I'm creating this dark evening, gender bending energy throughout the pieces.
26:11I don't think you should go too costume focused.
26:17I do wish you were doing one of your gowns.
26:20Because I haven't really seen that.
26:21Like, your big sculptural gown moment.
26:24It takes a lot of time.
26:26My big gowns take, I would say, like a week to build.
26:30I'm already pivoting so much.
26:32Like, you want me to pivot again?
26:34I'd have to get more fabric.
26:37Well, go get more fabric.
26:39Think about it.
26:41It's very ambitious.
26:42I'm hoping that this is possible.
26:44But I don't think I have time.
26:46I might flop.
26:48Yeah.
26:53Your collection reminds me of, like, Terminator.
26:56Oh, my God.
26:57You got it even though without saying it.
26:59That's really the inspiration.
27:00I'm a witch, bitch.
27:02Since this is the finale collection, I want to share a piece of me.
27:06When I was still a kid, me and my dad used to watch Terminator.
27:11And it brings so much joy.
27:14It was 2001 when my father passed away.
27:19And after that, our family suffered so much.
27:23You know, like, our family became super poor.
27:27Yeah.
27:28Because he's the breadwinner of the family.
27:30It's been hard without my dad.
27:32But I still support my mom and my sisters back home in the Philippines.
27:37I told myself, I'm gonna make sure to take my family out of this mess.
27:45Winnie Project Runway would give me the money to take care of my family
27:50and to give them a better life.
27:52My mom is counting for the finale show and trust me, Mom.
27:56I promise you that no matter what happens, I'm going to make you proud.
27:59You know, like, try to finish everything.
28:01But I mean, you're at a good point.
28:03Yeah.
28:04Okay, that looks good.
28:05Okay.
28:06All right.
28:16We have two days, and I gotta make a gown.
28:19I mean, I have made similar gowns like this,
28:22but making something this quick is nuts.
28:24Vijay, Vijay.
28:27Coming into this competition from a different world,
28:30I had a lot to prove.
28:31I feel like a lot of the world views the drag community through the eyes like of a zoo.
28:36See the beautiful animals, but never let them out in real life.
28:40Winning the title will show that we as drag queens, as drag designers, deserve to be taken seriously.
28:47Boo!
28:48After the fitting with the models yesterday,
28:53it's now time to get out of that concept mode and start working.
28:57Start sewing really, really fast.
29:00Why is it great?
29:01Because there's no time to experiment.
29:06Now is the time to finish.
29:08My arms are already tired.
29:10It's really heavy.
29:14Hello!
29:15Hello!
29:16Hi!
29:17Deja vu!
29:18Right?
29:19Even though it looks very different.
29:20Because we started with 12 designers and now there's three left!
29:23Wow!
29:24I have a very special announcement for a very special person that will come to the big grand finale.
29:31One of the original faces of Project Runway.
29:34Who could it be?
29:35Michael Kors!
29:36Michael Kors!
29:37Michael Kors!
29:38Michael Kors!
29:39Michael Kors!
29:40Michael Kors!
29:41Michael Kors!
29:42Oh my God!
29:43As a super fan of Project Runway, this is my dream judge.
29:48Being able to see him again in this finale with me as a final three is just so perfect.
29:55Best of luck everybody!
29:56Mwah!
29:57See you on the runway.
29:58Wow.
29:59Oh, .
30:00I don't know if I'm excited to see Michael Kors.
30:03The last time I saw Michael Kors was 15 years ago.
30:07You know, he was a judge of my season.
30:08Michael is not nice to me in this season.
30:11You took a checklist of everything that can turn tacky and combined it into one garment.
30:18So now it's like redemption.
30:20I feel like I have to make sure this collection is even more amazing because if not, I'm .
30:26And I'm sure he will remember you.
30:28Oh, no.
30:29This is bad.
30:30Mmm, I'd be scared.
30:33I have the worst headache.
30:35Here we go!
30:40Last day.
30:41Last day in this work room.
30:43Girl.
30:44Because after today, we will have a winner.
30:47This is the end.
30:48I think this morning it kind of like finally hit me like, you know, you could potentially
30:52like take this home.
30:54BJ, are you excited to see your mom?
30:57Um, yeah.
30:58What about you?
30:59Your mom is going to be here too.
31:01Yeah.
31:02I'm so excited for my mom to see this collection because it's truly inspired by her.
31:06I'm also so excited to surprise her that my collection is pink, her favorite color.
31:10My mom has always been a warrior, my hero, and her first model.
31:15Oh.
31:16I haven't seen my mom since like last year.
31:19Oh, wow.
31:20Yeah.
31:21You know, when you grow up with a single mom, you know, your entire purpose in life is just
31:25to make her feel beautiful.
31:27I think seeing my models feel powerful and beautiful is a true testament of what my mom
31:33means to me.
31:34So to me, winning, it would literally take me to the next level over where I want to be
31:39in my career.
31:40What's your mom's name?
31:41Um, Dori.
31:42How do you say your daughter's crazy?
31:49Our queens have a ride.
31:51Are my bitches ready?
31:52I better see some perfection on these bodies.
31:55It's day five.

31:58From here.
31:59Oh, from here.
32:00Until here, yes.

38:39now this is my girl
38:48yes the statement piece this gown did not exist two days ago so for it to hit the runway is a huge triumph
38:58this challenge was so incredibly difficult i mean this collection was a pivot that goes down in
39:12history is because i'm like completely different than what it started out to be
39:15i think that like this collection is the embodiment of my resilience and my true testament
39:21to what i can make out of nothing and uh yeah i just hope it pays off
39:30they should have walked this old show
39:33i told my mom one day he'll see me there one day i will be part of that show and this is my time
39:41this is the moment that i've been waiting for
39:50this collection is inspired by a movie that my dad that my dad and i used to watch when he was
39:57still alive the title of the collection is a beautiful moment enjoy thank you
40:11my collection represents me as a designer because it is very innovative it's modern
40:28i think it's the right balance of concept and wearability and i hope that the judges agree
40:35it's the right balance of concept and wearability after my dad's passing i made a promise to
40:43take his role and become the breadwinner of the family the rap is beautiful it's great kind of
40:50fabulous this moment is just the perfect moment to honor him
41:05so

41:18the collection is that chain mail it's like a beaded chain mail it's heavy and how heavy so that's done
41:25by him yeah

43:49i'm just so happy i'm so proud of each piece i'm so proud of the collection i know that i gave it my
43:55all and i'm really happy that i've got the opportunity to share this with the world and
44:01i really showed who i was as a designer in this competition
44:06we did it girl
44:10they had five days to do this i've just i'm floored looked like it took five months to make so i really
44:17don't understand the magic that they pulled i'm very impressed good job kids we tore it up it was so
44:23cool to see the designers compete and really put themselves out there i think we saw a lot of
44:28interesting and fresh pieces on the runway and so i'm really excited to see who comes out as the winner
44:36vj's finale gown was such a stunner
44:40i think vj should win because what she presented was so cohesive and had such a distinct point of view
44:45and it's speaking to the future and like that's kind of what i want to see from fashion
44:52the black dress he had made this finale dress was i would have loved to see some eyelets
45:03on it just to tie it back into the first four looks but the impact that that collection had like
45:09i could see miley cyrus wearing any of it
45:25i really loved jesus's collection i saw different uses of tailoring technique i thought the fit was
45:32really beautiful that's the one that stood out for me i would give it to jesus i appreciated that he
45:37used color and i would wear most of it we did it oh my god welcome you should be very proud of your
45:49daughter you'll see in the show we fight a lot because we're sisters each designer gave a different
45:59market a different mood so i don't know it's anybody's game at this point watching my invisible pearls
46:07now that was the finale i can't believe they did all of that in such a short time no it's crazy that
46:18they could do something that ambitious all of them really delivered on wowing us yeah their point of
46:24view really showed up on the runway why don't we bring out our final three and their models
46:30hello first off all of you how impressive to see the construction and the thoughtfulness
46:45in all of your collections very commendable thank you ethan michael kors this
46:52the work that's in it is spectacular i think a lot of girls would want to wear that dress
47:01yeah sign her up you are a storyteller which i love because i love when designers create this
47:07world and they live in this fantasy look two i can definitely see one of the pop girls wearing it
47:13you know charlie xcx it could be maybe addison ray look three the vampire i love the cutouts
47:22but one of the things that we talked about is trying to separate utica from ethan all i saw
47:29on this runway tonight was utica your clothes i can see even though we've just met they're inherently
47:37dramatic sometimes too much can be good if the hair would have been simple makeup would have been
47:43simple why do you love bedazzling everything so much i'm gay you do have all these amazing ideas
47:53and i did say don't bore us and you did not bore us just channel that drama with as much editing as
48:01possible because the elegance and the mystery with the editing is the powerful ultimate powerful
48:08combination because you have it all right jesus hello hi michael hi good to see you again it's been
48:1515 years do you remember jesus i do yeah i do of course i i think i was 12 and he was seven okay
48:26i think you started fabulously i love that top i thought the pants were great and i think this gown
48:33is fantastic thank you is there anything one can do so that the zipper is not as obvious or that's
48:40what tore me apart yeah because that's tough originally i had a fuchsia zipper but i wanted
48:45the teeth because it was stronger you should have done it without the sleeve i love the sleeve come off
48:50sorry nina let's just say without without the sleeve oh yes that is a lot better because she looks
48:58more balanced i mean now she looks like a model with the sleeves is more of a muppet less is more
49:05yes what i do love is that you can tell that the model loves this dress when the first look came out
49:10too it was like yes breath of fresh air i also i love the model too your girls were very happy they looked
49:18really excited you put on a show and it definitely showed thank you so much vj all in all i thought you
49:25did a wonderful job i do think that the first look was a gamble i'm sure some people could have
49:33thought that she looked clunky my favorite look was really the black one with a slashed trouser and
49:41then the little detail of the silver buttons that just killed me thank you i loved it thank you nina
49:48to me she was kind of like lost within this collection i was kind of confused where she all
49:53of a sudden came from maybe one other look to be black and silver but this gown is spectacular
50:05it's glorious looking this really had that kapow factor okay the third look i love the model i love
50:12how curvy she is and how you drape this around her yeah i was excited that i saw you introduce knits
50:20the way you draped it the shape on that model was absolutely incredible thank you you can leave the
50:26runway thank you so much thank you thank you so much thank you
50:32it was pretty impressive ethan for me was the biggest surprise not in a good way he was like
50:40let's go wow let's go to town i'm gonna go to town and i'm really gonna show them you know
50:45whoa i appreciate explosive creativity the talent is there the love of fashion is there there's drama
50:54and there's a lot of workmanship in those clothes it was extravagant wow moment yes he wants and it
51:00is every time when someone did come out it was like wow he loves more is more more he loves more
51:06listen i can see that ethan could actually be out there and really be front and center yes we have to
51:14remember in fashion there is a place for everyone and everything let's talk about vj so when that first
51:25dress walked out i was a little concerned there but then i thought interesting to take this wool rib knit
51:33it nothing that luxurious and drape it yeah she looked beautiful how good was that that was very good
51:41sensational actualists now i think we all disagree about the black outfit i like the look it's just
51:48kind of she was lost in the show to you it looked like it came from left field yeah yeah and
51:53law to you the same same it's not that i don't like the look happy that it did take me somewhere else
51:58because it was almost like a snippet of a very commercial and sellable look yeah and then the
52:06gown at the end it kind of was like just liquid and it went on it didn't look torture didn't look
52:12worked she looked beautiful yeah it's probably my favorite dress out of the collection this was a very
52:17surprising sorrow in a good way yes in a very good way and she delivered and what do we think about jesus
52:26after the gothic i was so happy to see color and bold and joy i wish there was a little something
52:34else than just fuchsia everything no but guys confidence though is a good thing the meek will
52:40not inherit the earth in the fashion world what's the the jewish word for that takes chutzpah to say
52:48you know what i'm doing all five of my looks pink and i'm going there that's what's great about fashion
52:54that's fashion yeah i mean give me the different flavors i was happy to see the sports were opening
53:00she looked amazing she was my favorite right girl right outfit yes all good that last look was my
53:07favorite you can be over the top and still have elegance the construction was really beautiful the
53:14way the hip was done i mean his intention is always there to make a woman feel and look beautiful he
53:20delivered on that and i will say that the audience when that pink gown came out they loved it yeah he
53:27does have the talent he does and i think jesus has got a more commercial point of view there is a client
53:35that will like this yeah they gave us a great finale collection this is a tough one but i think we made
53:42our decision yes i think so all right let's bring out the designers designers when i decided to come
54:02back to project runway i was hoping to see amazing designers amazing fashion and breathtaking runway shows
