00:00:09What's the top doing?
00:00:10Oh, I'm fixing the top.
00:00:11The fabric choices are cool,
00:00:13but maybe there's one unexpected element.
00:00:15Yeah.
00:00:16Grandma's very chic at the beach,
00:00:17so you have, like, an hour and a half
00:00:18to finish this whole dress.
00:00:19Bye!
00:00:20Oh, my gosh.
00:00:21We always need more time.
00:00:22Chasity, this looked so different
00:00:25than anything that we have seen from...
00:00:27Oh, yeah!
00:00:28Erin, it looked feminine, it looked elevated.
00:00:32The winner is Christina.
00:00:34I love this look, everything about it.
00:00:37Coral, Zayden, Octavio, and Project.
00:00:42None of you were able to execute
00:00:44on every aspect of this challenge.
00:00:46Octavio and Zayden, you are both out.
00:00:51Ugh.
00:00:52Fashion designer, Christian Siriano.

00:01:00Fashion designer, Brandon Maxwell.
00:01:02And editor-in-chief of Elle magazine, Nina Garcia,

00:01:09At stake for the winner, a quarter of a million dollars,
00:01:12supplied by Pilot Friction erasable pens.
00:01:15A feature in Elle magazine.
00:01:17And a career-changing mentorship
00:01:19with the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
00:01:22This is Project Runway.
00:01:24How did you sleep, Tutu?
00:01:25I dream a lot.
00:01:26You did?
00:01:27Mm-hmm.
00:01:28Good dreams?
00:01:29No.
00:01:30Oh.
00:01:31Octavio, my best friend here, went home.
00:01:33I couldn't stop crying after he left.
00:01:37There is so many memories we really bonded into each other.
00:01:50Honey.
00:01:51Daddy!
00:01:52Oh, Daddy!
00:01:53He is more like a brother to me.
00:01:57We felt so small after being 16.
00:02:01Some of you?
00:02:02I don't know who you are.
00:02:04I feel so small after being 16 altogether.
00:02:09And how do you feel after yesterday
00:02:12that you were in the body?
00:02:13When I was there, I thought I was going to go.
00:02:17Because I saw Octavio, and I think he's such a great designer,
00:02:21and the judges love him,
00:02:23so I thought they were going to choose him over me.
00:02:26I really want to stay.
00:02:29Oh, my God. It's from Christian.
00:02:31Good morning, designers.
00:02:32You're the final eight.
00:02:34You've passed the halfway point, and you've earned a break.
00:02:37There's a bar next to your house.
00:02:39Bottomless mimosas on me.
00:02:41I'll see you there.
00:02:42Christian said bottomless mimosas.
00:02:47I'll see you there.
00:02:52We about to drink!
00:02:56I already don't feel good about this.
00:02:58Christian didn't invite you to a bar to have a drink.
00:03:01Oh, yeah!
00:03:03Oh, yeah!
00:03:04Oh, yeah!
00:03:10Oh, my God!
00:03:11Oh, yeah!
00:03:16Yeah, I don't want to die.
00:03:17I'm just taking one.
00:03:20This is so good!
00:03:22Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah!
00:03:24Does anybody ever there want to pour a little bit more in here?
00:03:26I feel like I can't have a half-empty glass.
00:03:33Hi, designer!
00:03:35Oh, wow!
00:03:37Oh, my God!
00:03:38Hi!
00:03:39I am so excited to see Brandon.
00:03:41I saw that Brandon has these beautiful long lashes that I will never see far away or in camera.
00:03:48Good morning!
00:03:49Good morning!
00:03:50Yes!
00:03:51It's so early.
00:03:52I never see you this early.
00:03:54So, do you want to know why you're really here?
00:03:56Yes!
00:03:57Fashion and cocktails have a long history.
00:03:59Almost a hundred years ago, the cocktail dress was invented when women first dared to drink in public.
00:04:05It became a woman's go-to garment for when she wanted to dress a little less formal and a lot more free to have fun.
00:04:12And now, the cocktail dress is a staple in a modern woman's closet.
00:04:16And an essential, I think, for any fashion business.
00:04:18Mm-hmm.
00:04:19So, your challenge...
00:04:23Make a cocktail dress for the modern woman using anything you can find in this cocktail bar.
00:04:30Oh, my God!
00:04:31Oh, yes!
00:04:32It's the Unconventional Materials Challenge.
00:04:34This challenge is always the best.
00:04:38There's nothing here.
00:04:39Guys, behind me, there's a lot.
00:04:42Yeah.
00:04:43Oh!
00:04:44There's a kitchen back there.
00:04:46Oh, my God.
00:04:47Storage room.
00:04:48Get it?
00:04:49Yeah.
00:04:50Cocktail dress, cocktail bar.
00:04:54I have been waiting for the Unconventional Materials Challenge.
00:04:57It's my favorite challenge.
00:04:58I've made things out of candy before.
00:05:01I used to use mirrors.
00:05:03Just weird stuff.
00:05:04I feel like it's coming full circle in my career.
00:05:07What I love about this challenge is this is very technically exciting to see all the different types of materials that you can work with.
00:05:14Anything you can grab, touch, pull off the walls, take apart, rip apart, it's yours.
00:05:21And if you can sew some of these materials together, it says a lot.
00:05:25Please just watch the hot glue.
00:05:27Please and God, watch the hot glue.
00:05:29All right, designers, this is a two-day challenge.
00:05:32You'll have 20 minutes to grab up all your materials.
00:05:35Remember, there's no trip to moods.
00:05:38All right, guys.
00:05:39Let me pass out your model cards.
00:05:41Ooh, look how cute.
00:05:43Little menus.
00:05:44I'm gonna mix it up.
00:05:47It's the bill.
00:05:48All right, guys.
00:05:49So you have your model cards, and you guys can sketch when you get back to the work room, okay?
00:05:52You guys ready to go?
00:05:53Yeah.
00:05:55Your time starts now.
00:05:58Hey, get out of there.
00:06:13Oh my God, this is amazing.
00:06:16This is great.
00:06:20This is crazy.
00:06:23I'm sitting here thinking to myself,
00:06:26What makes a cocktail dress?
00:06:28I see all these stirs,
00:06:30and so I know I'm going to make fringe
00:06:33because I want to stay true to the 20s
00:06:35and kind of the shapes and styles that were worn then.
00:06:40This pile is mine, don't touch it.
00:06:42At this point, I really just wanna grab everything.
00:06:45At first, I went after those cups,
00:06:47and then I saw the dollies there.
00:06:48The lace kind of, like, grabbed my attention,
00:06:50so I grabbed, like, every single piece of it.
00:06:53What about this glass?
00:06:54I feel like I can have it.
00:06:58I grabbed coffee filters.
00:06:59I don't know what I'm gonna use those for,
00:07:01but there were a lot.
00:07:02This is where your creative mind comes into play.
00:07:05When you get all these materials,
00:07:07then you figure out a shape,
00:07:08then you figure out what you're gonna do,
00:07:10but you need materials in order to do that.
00:07:13This is all mine.
00:07:15I'll slap somebody.
00:07:16What's that?
00:07:18Ooh.
00:07:19I see these straw boxes that maybe they could help
00:07:22to create a texture of plastic fish skin.
00:07:25So I'm just, like, taking everything.
00:07:30I grab cover mats, bar mats,
00:07:33and it's like, okay, I can do something with this.
00:07:36I was thinking of doing top.
00:07:38I'm just grabbing as much as I can,
00:07:40and I'll figure it out later.
00:07:42Just grab the whole box.
00:07:43Yeah.
00:07:44What are you gonna do with a cornhole board?
00:07:48I never heard this name of the game.
00:07:51You gotta have bean bags to play cornhole.
00:07:53What is it?
00:07:54Cornhole, right?
00:07:55Yes, cornhole.
00:07:56Yeah, cornhole.
00:07:57I got bean bags.
00:07:58We're gonna play.
00:08:00It is difficult because I don't get inspired
00:08:04by these materials.
00:08:06But when I see the sugar containers,
00:08:09I have an idea for my dress.
00:08:11Thirty seconds.
00:08:13Thirty seconds?
00:08:14No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:08:16Ah!
00:08:17Help!
00:08:18I'm falling, and I can't get up.
00:08:20I got a bunch of stuff,
00:08:21and the next thing was to get a drink.
00:08:23I mean, it was a stressful situation.
00:08:25There was champagne there.
00:08:26I'm sorry.
00:08:27There's a bottle in my bag, too.
00:08:28Three, two, one.
00:08:33Okay, guys, I think it's time to go home.
00:08:35I think the tiger got let out of all of us today.
00:08:38All right, everybody, let's go back.
00:08:41Back to the work room.
00:08:43Hi.
00:08:44Somebody got the bottles of champagne, right?
00:08:46Yeah.
00:08:47I got one.
00:08:48And I have a glass if you want a sip.
00:08:52Oh, my God.
00:08:53Could you walk any slower, Grandma?
00:08:55Rude.
00:08:57Oh.
00:08:58Oh, my God.
00:08:59My shoulder.
00:09:01Look at all that space.
00:09:02Oh, my God, everybody.
00:09:04We all got our own table.
00:09:05Yeah.
00:09:06Oh, my God.
00:09:07Being able to have one full table to yourself is amazing.
00:09:10But I'm just staring at all this stuff.
00:09:13And I literally don't know what I'm going to do.
00:09:20Is there a garment in this bag?
00:09:23Oh, my God.
00:09:24The umbrellas.
00:09:25I don't know what I'm doing with them, but we'll figure it out.
00:09:27I don't know.
00:09:28We're doing anything.
00:09:29I'm telling you, I have a party store here.
00:09:31Jesus Christ.
00:09:32Look how you have a coffee shop.
00:09:34What is cocktail to me?
00:09:37That is the question.
00:09:40Coming up.
00:09:41I'm playing with the texture, and I'll say which one goes better.
00:09:44It's going to look like a tinfoil dress.
00:09:47You're in your head.
00:09:48No.
00:09:49No.
00:09:50Oh.
00:09:59Designing a cocktail dress out of unconventional materials is a little freaky.
00:10:06You're doing it with all these things that you don't necessarily know how they work yet.
00:10:12Oh.
00:10:13Okay.
00:10:14This glass, it's for just like a nice mosaic that I don't know exactly what it's going to be yet, but I'm sure it's going to be lovely.
00:10:20Did you guys use a two or four on Mimi?
00:10:22I think we used a four.
00:10:23Thank you so much.
00:10:24When someone says cocktail dress, I think of party, I think of festive.
00:10:29The main portion of this piece will be the fringe from the doors, and that's going to be my connector from the top to the bottom.
00:10:35Does anybody know how to load a staple gun?
00:10:38Really?
00:10:39Already sewing.
00:10:40I'm just like trying some textures.
00:10:43My idea is to create a textile of straws.
00:10:47I haven't drawn nothing yet, but once I have the sample of the textile, I'll see what to do.
00:10:56I feel like I got too much stuff.
00:10:58Yeah.
00:10:59Me too.
00:11:00Oh, praise the Lord.
00:11:02I am feeling good because I think unconventional is something that it's a little arts and crafts thing that I do all day.
00:11:09Is anybody coming up with a theme for their cocktail party?
00:11:12Mine has a theme.
00:11:13Yeah?
00:11:14Yeah.
00:11:15What's the theme?
00:11:16It's a UN first ladies brunch.
00:11:17Oh, so serious.
00:11:19And she's going to show up and they're looking like she owned the place.
00:11:22I am using the couch leather as a base and then it's going to be covered with that lace dollies.
00:11:29I think I'm ready to cut my papers.
00:11:32My inspiration went straight to the island again because in the island there's a lot of lace.
00:11:36My grandmother had a ton of them.
00:11:38You go to somebody's house, there's lace on the table.
00:11:40The curtain is where we lace.
00:11:41We just love a lace.
00:11:43Chocolate.
00:11:44What are you doing?
00:11:45Melting plastic.
00:11:46Do you have a spoon?
00:11:47Yeah.
00:11:48I'm making flower petals.
00:11:49Oh.
00:11:50Melt.
00:11:51Melt.
00:11:52Melt.
00:11:53Come on.
00:11:54Bubble up.
00:11:55It got too hard.
00:11:56So I am making a pencil length dress using lots and lots of straws and bottle caps.
00:12:09I have so many straws to cut up.
00:12:13I'm taking the different sizes of straws.
00:12:16When I cut them up, look like small beads.
00:12:19All right, let's make fetch happen.
00:12:21So you sure you don't have a theme for your cocktail party?
00:12:24Not really.
00:12:25I mean, all I know is I want red.
00:12:28Red?
00:12:29Yeah.
00:12:30Ooh.
00:12:31Ooh.
00:12:32Ooh.
00:12:33Oh my God.
00:12:34I inherited my artistic abilities from my father.
00:12:40You could literally take a picture of a family member.
00:12:44He would just outline it just by looking at it.
00:12:47But now that I'm watching my oldest daughter do the exact same thing, that I can't even describe
00:12:54that type of feeling.
00:12:55Like, she has the gift.
00:12:57She can pick up a pencil and just draw.
00:13:01And I thank him for that gift.
00:13:04I'm making fringe.
00:13:13Apparently stiff 1,000 stir fringe.
00:13:16I think I've got about 10 yards here, and that's what I wanted.
00:13:19So we'll see how it turns out.
00:13:20If not, I'm back to square one, but I think this will work.
00:13:23I am making a cocktail dress out of a tablecloth, stirs, straws, and I'm adding a feathery jacket
00:13:33made out of parchment paper.
00:13:35It's probably going to look like a 90s prom dress when I'm done, but I like it.
00:13:38I am doing recycled plastic sequins.
00:13:45And then I'm going to make all of a dress with this sequins.
00:13:50By the time you are done with this, we won't have a lighter left.
00:13:53And then, guys, you are stopping to smoke.
00:13:55Oh, my God.
00:13:56Since it's a cocktail dress, I've been wanting to do this corset with cups.
00:14:09And this material can look very interesting.
00:14:12I have no idea how many straws this dress is going to take.
00:14:16I'm just, like, so nervous that five boxes are not enough.
00:14:21Why are you crying?
00:14:30What's happening?
00:14:31Why are you crying?
00:14:34I know.
00:14:35But right now, I need you to work on this.
00:14:38Because he would want you to do good on this.
00:14:41Okay?
00:14:42Don't let it get into your work.
00:14:43Okay?
00:14:44We got three hours and 56 minutes left in this day.
00:14:52Hello.
00:14:53Hello.
00:14:54Oh, hi.
00:14:55Are we creating fabulousness?
00:14:57Hi.
00:14:58Oh, hi.
00:14:59What's happening?
00:15:06Coral.
00:15:07Yeah?
00:15:08Are you using the black straws?
00:15:10Yes.
00:15:11Are you using black straws, too?
00:15:14Uh-oh.
00:15:15If you don't use them, let me.
00:15:17It's all black straws.
00:15:19All of these boxes.
00:15:20I see Chantal working with straws.
00:15:23And I saw Aaron working with straws.
00:15:26And I was like, oh, my gosh.
00:15:28Everyone is using straws.
00:15:29I don't want to use the straws.
00:15:31Everyone is using straws.
00:15:33Coral.
00:15:36So, I got a lot of straws.
00:15:40And Chantal is doing straws, too.
00:15:42But I have all these boxes.
00:15:44And they're all black.
00:15:45You can figure out what else you have.
00:15:47You didn't get anything to weave or do any knotting or anything.
00:15:54Nothing.
00:15:55I have these.
00:15:56Yeah.
00:15:57Well, trash bags.
00:15:58That could be cool.
00:15:59Could you weave them?
00:16:00Yes.
00:16:01Yes.
00:16:02Oh, yes.
00:16:03Oh, my gosh.
00:16:04I mean, Jesus, you're killing me.
00:16:13That's looking interesting.
00:16:15I don't know.
00:16:17Okay.
00:16:18What are you doing over here?
00:16:20Tell me everything.
00:16:21I'm playing with the texture and to see which one goes better.
00:16:24You're in your head.
00:16:25No.
00:16:26It's going to look like a tinfoil dress.
00:16:28And it's a mini corset dress.
00:16:30That's not what you do.
00:16:31This is interesting.
00:16:34This is very different from what's happening in the room.
00:16:36Mm-hmm.
00:16:37So I think you should lean into this.
00:16:39Mm-hmm.
00:16:40Maybe it's funny words or something graphic.
00:16:43That could be interesting.
00:16:44Maybe it's something from where you're from.
00:16:46The whole point is unconventional.
00:16:48What's unconventional about it?
00:16:49You know what I mean?
00:16:50Yeah.
00:16:51Okay, now go.
00:16:53You're welcome.
00:17:07Hey, mister.
00:17:08Hey, honey.
00:17:09Are you making a skirt?
00:17:11I am.
00:17:12It looks like freaking metal.
00:17:15I am creating a modern-day flapper.
00:17:20Because I want to stay true to the 20s,
00:17:22and because, like, roaring 20s 100 years ago,
00:17:26roaring 20s maybe now after COVID.
00:17:29Please don't put a prohibition on alcohol, though.
00:17:32I may need that.
00:17:33You cut up the straws?
00:17:35It stirs.
00:17:36Oh, the stirs.
00:17:38Okay.
00:17:39I have been in the top four times, never won.
00:17:42Four times, safe.
00:17:44Clearly, I am falling short somewhere.
00:17:47I need to do something to stand out.
00:17:49Silver may have been the wrong way to go,
00:17:50but I kind of love the silver.
00:17:52Ooh, what are those?
00:17:54This is fun.
00:17:55So it's, like, little.
00:17:56Sequence.
00:17:57That's so pretty.
00:17:58I wanted to make the full dress with this sequins.
00:18:03I don't have the base, you know?
00:18:06Why can't this netting be your base?
00:18:08I have this.
00:18:10Yeah.
00:18:11And I have these pieces.
00:18:12And that?
00:18:13You can't just do a picnic clad skirt.
00:18:14I don't know.
00:18:15No, come on.
00:18:16I know.
00:18:17I don't feel it.
00:18:18But I think if you can figure out a way to, like,
00:18:20make this look like a real beaded dress.
00:18:24You have all of this.
00:18:25Like, maybe you could cut pieces from here.
00:18:28You know what?
00:18:29Oh, here we are.
00:18:30I can do the bottom part,
00:18:31and then the bottom can be fully from this sequins,
00:18:34silver sequins.
00:18:35Look at you.
00:18:36You worked it out already.
00:18:37Yeah.
00:18:38Oh, no.
00:18:40Hi, Christian.
00:18:41What's happening?
00:18:43So you're cutting up all these...
00:18:45Tiny straws.
00:18:46Tiny straws.
00:18:47And big straws.
00:18:48Into tinier little beads.
00:18:49Yes.
00:18:50I did want to play with texture,
00:18:51because it's going to be all one color.
00:18:53So the idea is that everything's beaded.
00:18:55Yeah.
00:18:56But then you'll spray paint it at the end
00:18:57to be this one monochromaticum color, right?
00:18:59No, I've already started spray painting.
00:19:01Oh, you're going to spray paint it.
00:19:02Mm-hmm.
00:19:03But you could just do it at the end,
00:19:04once it's all on.
00:19:05You're right.
00:19:06Couldn't you?
00:19:07Right painting?
00:19:08This is why you're Christian.
00:19:09Yeah.
00:19:10True.
00:19:17Oh, my God.
00:19:18I just, like...
00:19:19I'm doing a lot of work.
00:19:20I've never been so many hours
00:19:22sitting down in a chair in that machine.
00:19:24Like, doing and sewing and sewing
00:19:26and sewing and sewing and sewing.
00:19:27Oh, my God.
00:19:29Bones, what are you doing?
00:19:31I like your little Edith Beale look.
00:19:35Where's that scarf from?
00:19:37Home.
00:19:38Oh, yeah, you just had it?
00:19:39Yeah, it's mine.
00:19:40Okay.
00:19:41I want to take this fringe
00:19:42and, like, crisscross it in the front.
00:19:44I'm going to hot glue all the straps to this
00:19:48so that it stays.
00:19:49Okay.
00:19:50And then I'll lay this over top
00:19:52so that it holds it.
00:19:53Okay.
00:19:54I grabbed glass tables.
00:19:57Is there a lot of these?
00:19:58It's a whole lot.
00:19:59Wait, this is gorgeous.
00:20:00Right?
00:20:01I'll tap it just lightly
00:20:02so that it breaks up a little bit more,
00:20:04like, after I glue it down.
00:20:06All right, what's your thoughts?
00:20:07I think you'll figure it out as you go along
00:20:09what is successful.
00:20:10But I think that this broken glass, that,
00:20:15that you took, like, a table and cracked it,
00:20:17is really interesting and innovative.
00:20:19I think you should lean more into something
00:20:21that is, like, so special.
00:20:23It's not too many times that Christian comes by
00:20:25and he's just, like, to me.
00:20:27So without changing too much.
00:20:29Yeah, I'm very thankful for this
00:20:30and I feel like I'm headed in a good direction.
00:20:33I'll get back to work.
00:20:34Okay, get back to...
00:20:35Oh, you got...
00:20:36Yeah, you're breaking glass?
00:20:37Yeah.
00:20:38In the scarf?
00:20:39Yeah.
00:20:40Juxtaposition.
00:20:41I'm really...
00:20:42We're all over the place.
00:20:50Very interesting quiet room we've got going on here.
00:20:57Andre, it's a mess over here.
00:20:59It is.
00:21:00So I am using the couch as my base.
00:21:03What's the shape going to be?
00:21:04All the pieces are outside.
00:21:05If you want to take a little walk, it's nice outside.
00:21:07Okay, let's go.
00:21:08Okay, I'll take this.
00:21:09Okay, great.
00:21:10I'll take this.
00:21:11This reminded me of home
00:21:12because we use a lot of lace
00:21:13and embroidery and details like that.
00:21:15This entire dress is going to be literally...
00:21:18Like, creating a texture.
00:21:19Creating a texture of this.
00:21:21So the skirt's going to have a lot of volume then.
00:21:23The bigger ones are going to be up here
00:21:25and then when I get up there,
00:21:26I'm cutting them lower
00:21:27and I'm going to put it together
00:21:28and I'm going to do these on.
00:21:30Yeah.
00:21:31And then spray print right onto the dress form.
00:21:33I think you have to make sure that this
00:21:35doesn't look really, like, crafty.
00:21:38Yeah.
00:21:39It's going to take a lot of time,
00:21:40but I'm really loving that direction
00:21:42of using the dollies.
00:21:44What a nice, beautiful walk.
00:21:46My dream is to be the Haitian version
00:21:48of Oscar de la Renta for Haiti.
00:21:50Like, Oscar de la Renta was for DR.
00:21:52Yes.
00:21:53They created beautiful work.
00:21:54Clean, elegant, well made,
00:21:56with enough detail there to be wow,
00:21:58but not to overwhelm you.
00:22:00And that's what I love about Oscar de la Renta.
00:22:02Spray painting it after.
00:22:03Spray painting it after, yeah.
00:22:04Okay.
00:22:05Should we play cornhole?
00:22:06Yes.
00:22:07People were playing.
00:22:08America versus Russia.
00:22:09Let's go.
00:22:10Oh, my God.
00:22:12Okay, get it in.
00:22:13If I don't get it in, it's very big.
00:22:16You got one point.
00:22:21Yes!
00:22:23I'm leaving!
00:22:26Goodbye.
00:22:27Goodbye.
00:22:28Bye-bye.
00:22:29Bye-bye.
00:22:30Leave those boots in the back for me.
00:22:33Oh, my God.
00:22:3430 minutes.
00:22:41Doing macrame with him, with the bags.
00:22:43I'm trying to, I'm going to try to do as much as I can on the skirt.
00:22:46Nice.
00:22:47It's going to be crazy, but...
00:22:48It is a little crazy, but it's cool.
00:22:50Yeah.
00:22:51Oh, .
00:22:52I got more red straws.
00:22:53Why did I decide to cut up straws into bite-sized Captain Crunch pieces to individually place these straws on the bodice?
00:23:03Why did I do this to myself?
00:23:07Time to stop.
00:23:08No.
00:23:09I didn't hear that.
00:23:10Time to go.
00:23:11Now I just have to do the sleeves and the skirt, and that's it.
00:23:15That's it.
00:23:16I really love what I'm doing, and I have to take the risk.
00:23:19With this look, finally, I will prove the judges that the Christian Siriano safe was...
00:23:26was for me.
00:23:27All right, let's go.
00:23:28Come on, everybody.
00:23:29Let's go.
00:23:31Coming up?
00:23:32Is it working?
00:23:33I think so.
00:23:34That does not fit.
00:23:35You got to work this out.
00:23:36This doesn't even fit yet.
00:23:37You barely got anything done.
00:23:39What are you going to do?
00:23:40I'm a...
00:23:41I'm...
00:23:42Yeah.
00:23:46Girl, that's like Iron Man.
00:23:48Wow.
00:23:51Damn, we're normal.
00:23:54What's this going to be?
00:23:55A mentoring gun.
00:23:57Oh, out of what?
00:23:59Thank you, plastic bags.
00:24:01Thank you, plastic bags.
00:24:02Yeah, thank you.
00:24:03Do I exit after I say thank you?
00:24:05Oh, yeah.
00:24:06Exit.
00:24:09Exit.
00:24:11Christian said,
00:24:13Maybe you can make something where you're coming from.
00:24:17I come from Shanghai.
00:24:18The Western country has the cocktail dress.
00:24:21In China, Shanghai is the place ladies wear this mentoring gown with the typical features.
00:24:27Why are you so skinny?
00:24:29I had a very bad day yesterday.
00:24:32I don't feel inspired, but I feel this is the new day to move on.
00:24:43Yeah, I think this can make a nice patty.
00:24:48A nice patty.
00:24:49Yeah.
00:24:50A patty is a wig, but I call them patties because I'm inspired by Patti LaBelle and her iconic hairstyles.
00:24:57Well, now we can do the project patties because I got enough patties for all of us.
00:25:02Oh, my God.
00:25:03Oh, I burned my finger, Lord.
00:25:07Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:25:10The greatest hits by the Project Patties of season 19, Project Runway.
00:25:15Season 19.
00:25:18Oh, my God.
00:25:20Hi, everybody.
00:25:21Welcome, Christian.
00:25:23I am Christian.
00:25:26Oh, what a serenade.
00:25:28God, make it stop.
00:25:30All right, who wants a model?
00:25:32I want one.
00:25:33You're going to a diplomatic party.
00:25:42So I'm going to have you hold it right there.
00:25:44So probably this is going to be a little bit, you know, like, itchy.
00:25:48For conventional materials?
00:25:50It's a hard one.
00:25:51I'm sure.
00:25:52Okay, what do you have to do?
00:25:54I want to do the sleeves.
00:25:56I mean, it's very gorgeous.
00:25:59Did you make a sleeve at all?
00:26:01I didn't have the time today, so I'm leaving it at the end.
00:26:04I want to have, like, a clean dress.
00:26:06And after, once the dress is done...
00:26:08Then you'll see.
00:26:09Yeah.
00:26:10At least right now I know that I have enough straws,
00:26:13but I don't know if I'm going to have time to make the sleeves.
00:26:17I thought the sleeve was really cool.
00:26:19Yeah, I know.
00:26:20All right.
00:26:21Feel tight?
00:26:22A little bit under the arms.
00:26:24Yes.
00:26:25Is it working?
00:26:26I think so.
00:26:27That does not fit.
00:26:29You got to work this out.
00:26:30This has to fit.
00:26:31This doesn't even fit yet.
00:26:32I can definitely move the dart higher.
00:26:34This gets the texture.
00:26:35You're going to paint it.
00:26:36And this gets the texture.
00:26:37This entire thing.
00:26:38The whole thing.
00:26:39The whole thing.
00:26:40All the way up.
00:26:41A lot of volume.
00:26:42Maybe you don't use so many now.
00:26:44This is going to go up to here.
00:26:46And then it starts to get smaller.
00:26:48Yeah.
00:26:49Smaller as it goes.
00:26:50Smaller, smaller.
00:26:51And I was even thinking maybe do, like, strips.
00:26:54Yeah.
00:26:55I don't want to add more volume in where it's not needed.
00:26:58Okay.
00:26:59I'm leaving you to work it out.
00:27:00Yeah.
00:27:01He does this every time.
00:27:02Um, hello.
00:27:08How are you going to be this entire thing?
00:27:12You've barely got anything done.
00:27:13I'm going to cover it.
00:27:14So much.
00:27:15I'm going to.
00:27:16All this good.
00:27:17I know.
00:27:18I know.
00:27:19I know.
00:27:20He scares the out of me.
00:27:21Okay.
00:27:22Let's try this one.
00:27:23Cute, right?
00:27:24How's it going to be gorgeous and perfect?
00:27:27Um, so this will be the mentoring button.
00:27:30Yeah.
00:27:31And this patchwork.
00:27:35Won't be like this shape.
00:27:36What is that?
00:27:37This is the sign you see yesterday.
00:27:39Oh, that's it?
00:27:40Yeah.
00:27:41No, this will be attached from the bottom.
00:27:44Oh.
00:27:45Like that.
00:27:46The patchwork on the dress.
00:27:47Oh.
00:27:48Yes.
00:27:49I started it over.
00:27:50Can you do any, like, beautiful binding or anything to make it look a little more expensive
00:27:55and a little more real because right now it still just looks like a bag dress.
00:28:00Think about it.
00:28:01Okay.
00:28:02Yes.
00:28:03Cool.
00:28:04Okay.
00:28:05All right, designers.
00:28:06Everybody say goodbye to your models.
00:28:07Bye, honey.
00:28:08See you tomorrow.
00:28:09Tomorrow.
00:28:11Bye, guys.
00:28:12All right, guys.
00:28:14You have a lot of work to do.
00:28:17All of you.
00:28:18Less singing, more gluing and sewing.
00:28:21Got it?
00:28:22All right.
00:28:23Goodbye, Christian.
00:28:24Goodbye.
00:28:25Have a good day.
00:28:26Bye, Christian.
00:28:27The hours left.
00:28:28Ooh.
00:28:29No, no, no.
00:28:30Yes, yes, yes.
00:28:31Look, Christina.
00:28:32I like it white.
00:28:33I like it white, too.
00:28:34And I think I am 99.5% sure that I do not want to add color to it.
00:28:50And if I do, it's gonna be just at the bottom.
00:28:53Oh.
00:28:54I finished the dress, but for me, it's not enough.
00:29:00In my head, I have that dress with some sleeves.
00:29:04So I'm, like, really, really trying to put the dress the way I see it in my head tomorrow.
00:29:12Christina.
00:29:13Light earthy.
00:29:14I know.
00:29:15I'm, like, that's what I'm doing.
00:29:16I know.
00:29:17Light earthy.
00:29:18I know.
00:29:19I'm, like, that's what I'm doing.
00:29:20Plastic, I'm melting, and it's something new and cool.
00:29:23So it's like a crystal, which reminds me of some topic in school.
00:29:27It was written that you can grow crystal from poison.
00:29:32I bought it, and I put it on the window where was my parrot, and I started to grow these crystals.
00:29:38And, unfortunately, then we lost my parrot, but I did grow the crystals.
00:29:46One hour, guys.
00:29:47One hour.
00:29:48One hour.
00:29:55What do you have left to do?
00:29:56I have to put my collar on, put my sleeves on, and then put my snaps.
00:30:01This is really beautiful.
00:30:02Really?
00:30:06I'm tired of straws.
00:30:08I'm tired of spray paint.
00:30:10My hands are silver.
00:30:12I'm turning into the Tin Man.
00:30:14I might have time to make that feather jacket.
00:30:17Two minutes, guys.
00:30:18Two minutes.
00:30:19Okay.
00:30:20Well, it'll get finished tomorrow, then.
00:30:22Two whole minutes.
00:30:24This is really the sewing Olympics.
00:30:26They should just rename it that.
00:30:28All right, guys.
00:30:29That's it for the day.
00:30:31Leave me more time.
00:30:32Let's go.
00:30:33Let's go.
00:30:34Let's wash the hands.
00:30:36Yes.
00:30:37Yes.
00:30:38All the way.
00:30:39To a better place.
00:30:42I want a pickle.
00:30:43Be.
00:30:44Be.
00:30:45So I can't remake that drink.
00:30:46Oh, my God.
00:30:47How are you feeling now?
00:30:49Feeling better?
00:30:50A little better.
00:30:51See how bubbling I was today.
00:30:53Yeah.
00:30:54It was better than yesterday.
00:30:55Yeah.
00:30:56Yesterday.
00:30:57I am very appreciative that I can have the friendship to other designers.
00:31:03The last glue gun just took my whole skin out.
00:31:05Back in China.
00:31:06I grew up as a owning child.
00:31:08That was a policy.
00:31:10We don't have siblings.
00:31:11So that's why I'm so bonded with my friends.
00:31:14I have like five or six closures like one.
00:31:17So I have to finish that.
00:31:19I would love to have kids one day.
00:31:21And I want my kids to have friends and to have siblings.
00:31:25Can you put that in the fridge, please?
00:31:27Some of us have really become close.
00:31:31There's no way you can't.
00:31:32And we're just a little bit more than halfway through.
00:31:35And I have been so very fortunate to have been part of that amazingness.
00:31:41I can't even remember that name.
00:31:42Yeah, I could have.
00:31:43And then...
00:31:44What the is going on?
00:31:45Oh my gosh.
00:31:46You're so close to us.
00:31:47I don't want to see this .
00:31:49We're like, oh my God.
00:31:50Did a war just break out in New York?
00:31:52Oh my God!
00:31:54Oh my God!
00:31:59Oh my God!
00:32:02It is incredible.
00:32:05I get the chance to stand in awe with new friends.
00:32:10Watching one hell of a firework display.
00:32:14That's pretty good.
00:32:17That was so beautiful!
00:32:20Run, wait!
00:32:25Run, wait!
00:32:26Run, wait!
00:32:28Run, wait!
00:32:29Run, wait!
00:32:31Let's see.
00:32:34My game plan when I get into the workroom is hover the bottom half of the room.
00:32:39I'm just going to bottle cap the rest of the top.
00:32:43Because guess who still has to spray paint it?
00:32:46I do.
00:32:49Blue Gun, plug that up first.
00:32:51I know there's one thing I need to finish before Luz gets here.
00:32:54Does it need to be a jacket?
00:32:56Is it just going to be too, too much?
00:32:58And I've got an idea.
00:32:59Why can't it be a cake?
00:33:00When I think of the 20s and I think of like Myrna Loy and a lot of the actresses of the time, a lot of them wore like a capelet.
00:33:08Perfect.
00:33:09I'm going to grab this.
00:33:10Okay.
00:33:11Yeah, I'm not going to use it.
00:33:12Okay.
00:33:14It's the wrong way day and I still have to hot glue all the toothpicks on top of my gown.
00:33:23I'm very happy today.
00:33:25I think that's good.
00:33:26Hello.
00:33:27Hi, Christian.
00:33:28Hi, Christian.
00:33:29Hello.
00:33:30Are we doing great?
00:33:31Yes.
00:33:32Okay.
00:33:33Send in the models.
00:33:34Hey.
00:33:35Oh, cute dress.
00:33:36Hey.
00:33:37Good dress.
00:33:38I'm good, honey.
00:33:39How are you?
00:33:40I need to put this on you and make sure I get the zipper right.
00:33:41I like it clean.
00:33:42The simplicity of it and that you can see the color in the back.
00:33:45I'm going to pull tight.
00:33:46Ready?
00:33:47Yeah.
00:33:48Squeeze in.
00:33:49Mimi looks fantastic in this dress.
00:33:50She's giving me Bond girl.
00:33:51Like it's the modern day Bond girl in a modern day cocktail dress.
00:33:54I think I should use some of this.
00:33:56It is cool.
00:33:57Give me at the back of my dress.
00:33:58Let me, um, put me in the back of my dress.
00:34:00I'm going to put this on you and make sure I get the zipper right.
00:34:01I like it clean.
00:34:02The simplicity of it and that you can see the color in the back.
00:34:03I'm going to pull tight.
00:34:04You ready?
00:34:05Yeah.
00:34:06Squeeze in.
00:34:07Mimi looks fantastic in this dress.
00:34:08It's pretty, right?
00:34:09She's giving me Bond girl.
00:34:10Like it's the modern day Bond girl in a modern day cocktail dress.
00:34:12I think I should use some of this.
00:34:13Let me, um.
00:34:16Okay.
00:34:17Now turn.
00:34:18That feels a lot better.
00:34:19Does that feel better?
00:34:20It looks better too.
00:34:21Cause it's not as scraggly down there.
00:34:22Yeah.
00:34:23Okay.
00:34:24I feel better now.
00:34:25It's not a jacket actually.
00:34:26It's a cape.
00:34:27Yes, ma'am.
00:34:28That's fantastic.
00:34:29I love it.
00:34:30I love it.
00:34:31Love it.
00:34:32Love it.
00:34:33Okay.
00:34:34Now you're too tall for me to try to figure it out.
00:34:36Originally, I wanted a cocktail dress with two big sleeves made out of straws.
00:34:41But now that there's no time, it seems that it's going to be just one sleeve.
00:34:46It's like a wing.
00:34:47When I saw the basic dress, I was like, this is beautiful.
00:34:50But with the sleeve, it's like, boom.
00:34:52Can you smash these?
00:34:54Oh my God.
00:34:55I have my model doing manual labor.
00:34:57It's okay.
00:34:58It's okay.
00:34:59I'm trying to figure out what else I can add to this skirt to fill it up, fill it in,
00:35:05get it done.
00:35:06I grab popcorn, I grab knife heads, and I'm just about to glue where I can to make texture
00:35:11and still have like a cohesive look that makes sense.
00:35:14Why is this moving so slow?
00:35:17That's good.
00:35:18How are you feeling?
00:35:19I'm good.
00:35:20I'm also...
00:35:21Sorry.
00:35:22Yeah, I'm sure.
00:35:23I cannot feel my fingers, but I am actually really happy about this design because it's
00:35:29really fresh design.
00:35:30I did create some new materials from existing materials, and it's a very sexy dress.
00:35:36I'm so excited.
00:35:37Designers, when you're ready, take your models to the Tresme hair salon and the Maybelline
00:35:41makeup studio.
00:35:42Let's go.
00:35:43Hi.
00:35:44I want it all over, wet, finish.
00:35:47All right, well, I'm going to start by using a little bit of Tresme extra-hole gel to,
00:35:52you know, really help create sculpture around your hairline.
00:35:55Yes.
00:35:56Mm-hmm.
00:35:57Dark red hair.
00:35:58Yes!
00:35:59Dark, dark, dark.
00:36:00She came yesterday with all her hair up.
00:36:05Like, kind of like bohemian.
00:36:07Yeah, like bohemian chic.
00:36:08Yes.
00:36:09Perfect.
00:36:10I know exactly what to do.
00:36:11A little bit of Tresme keratin skin serum.
00:36:13Mm-hmm.
00:36:14Okay.
00:36:15Just to, you know, add a little bit of shine to your twist.
00:36:19Oh, my God.
00:36:20I told her.
00:36:21Wait, so tell me.
00:36:22Yeah.
00:36:23I love it.
00:36:24I am going to ombre from bottom up.
00:36:29I just don't want to mess with the rest on top.
00:36:32Yeah.
00:36:33I think it's so clean and fresh and delicate.
00:36:35White.
00:36:36It's a doily dress.
00:36:41Yeah.
00:36:42What you looking at me for?
00:36:43You did it.
00:36:44Well, I like my doily dress.
00:36:46You don't know it's doily.
00:36:47That's the key thing.
00:36:48Yeah.
00:36:49It does not look like an unconventional material.
00:36:50It looks like lace.
00:36:51You're actually an insane person.
00:36:56You've got to paint this dress.
00:36:57You have 30 minutes.
00:36:58Like, for real.
00:36:59I'm in beast mode right now.
00:37:00Like, if you don't paint the dress, it's never going to dry.
00:37:03Okay.
00:37:04Why don't you glue afterwards?
00:37:05Go run around like a chicken and dry it outside.
00:37:10Shut up, bug.
00:37:13Go look on the wall and see what shoe you like and get your size.
00:37:15You're going in a painted dress, honey.
00:37:18Get ready.
00:37:24Seventeen minutes.
00:37:25Ow.
00:37:26I just burnt myself.
00:37:27Okay.
00:37:28Look, there's no glue.
00:37:30So well made.
00:37:31How nice.
00:37:32Gorgeous.
00:37:37All right, designers.
00:37:38We're leaving this room in 10 minutes.
00:37:41Ten minutes to dress up.
00:37:43She's a little short.
00:37:45This lid is too high and I'm not putting her down the runway where they can see any of her goodies.
00:37:50So now I have to take coffee filters, go outside, spray paint them, come back in, glue them, burn the out of my hands.
00:37:58I'm not going to burn you, I promise.
00:37:59And go and do it again and again until I'm okay with where it lays because I can't send her down the runway like this.
00:38:07Um, very good.
00:38:10Okay.
00:38:12Turn for me to the back.
00:38:15Oh, we did it.
00:38:17Six minutes, Anna.
00:38:18Are those snaps going to stay?
00:38:20When she walks, it doesn't burst open?
00:38:22Oh, you mean walking.
00:38:23Oh, okay.
00:38:24Oh yeah, walking.
00:38:25Did you know it's a runway?
00:38:31I'm trying to sell the bag.
00:38:37All right, designers.
00:38:38That's time.
00:38:39Let's go backstage.
00:38:40Last look.
00:38:46My couture beads.
00:38:47They keep falling.
00:38:48I'm trying not to break in front of the other designers, but I'm freaking out because I do not want to go home on a challenge that I feel like fits my fashion story and my purpose.
00:39:02You have literally seconds.
00:39:04I don't know how to do this.
00:39:06Coming up?
00:39:07The fit wasn't flattering on your model.
00:39:09What kind of person just picks straws?
00:39:12Frankly, I guessed too much of a glue gun, did you?
00:39:15We're down to eight, you guys.
00:39:30Yeah.
00:39:31Yeah.
00:39:32It's getting really real, isn't it?
00:39:33Yeah.
00:39:34Yeah.
00:39:35Well, I am very excited to introduce you to our guest judge today.
00:39:39He is the go-to designer for influential women like Lady Gaga, and I know you saw that look on Kamala Harris at the inauguration.
00:39:49Yes.
00:39:50Please meet fashion designer Christopher John Rogers.
00:39:55Yes.
00:39:57Another black man coming up, and he's very young.
00:40:00So, like, kudos to you, Christopher.
00:40:02Hi, designers.
00:40:03I'm super excited to see what you guys have cooked up for us.
00:40:06The theme is cocktail party.
00:40:08So, what do you say we get this party started?
00:40:11Yes.
00:40:12Let's start the show.
00:40:26I'm looking at UN in the runway, and I'm just enjoying this moment.
00:40:30It looks edgy, it looks sexy, it looks powerful.
00:40:41I feel so good and so proud that I'm still in the competition, and I had the chance to prove to the judges how creative I am.
00:40:50For this unconventional challenge, I was trying to put my personality onto the dress and something for fun.
00:41:03When I see my model walking down the runway, I feel there's a lot of fun for my look.
00:41:08It looks great.
00:41:13The dress faces her perfectly.
00:41:16The colors are matching.
00:41:18I'm very happy for the result.
00:41:29Mimi looks so good.
00:41:31The look, the character is all coming together.
00:41:33She's got her bond bag with the diamonds in it.
00:41:42I feel like I've definitely done enough to stay in this competition with this look.
00:41:46As well as possibly win it.
00:41:48It almost looks better than fabric removed.
00:42:01I'm very happy with this, especially the silhouette.
00:42:04I thought it was so cool and so different from anything I have seen so far in the runway.
00:42:09I think my garment can be seen more as actual materials and not like a fabric.
00:42:25They are killing it.
00:42:26I know.
00:42:27I'm just watching her legs move and the coffee filters flound.
00:42:39That's the positive.
00:42:40The look is giving what I wanted it to give.
00:42:47The only downside is popcorn fell off.
00:42:50So all the white and the coffee filters are showing through.
00:42:54I didn't have enough time to execute the look to perfection.
00:42:58So I feel like I really filled my fate.
00:43:01Somebody left the popcorn on the runway.
00:43:03I see big, ruffly, feathery, amazingness.
00:43:18For once, I didn't care if the judges literally took a magnifying glass to this look.
00:43:24It's unconventional materials.
00:43:26It is put together well.
00:43:28Like, I didn't expect it to look that good.
00:43:31I hope they like it.
00:43:34It moves beautifully.
00:43:42You can see through the dress the color that was painted on.
00:43:51I hope the judges saw that I put in work into this.
00:43:54Attempted of recreating something new with this dolly.
00:43:59You use dolly and cake, not creating lace with dolly.
00:44:01This dress is very, like, sexy, but still sophisticated.
00:44:02And I'm really proud of, like, all the work I did.
00:44:04And I think it's important as a designer and artist to work further and to push further the material you already have.
00:44:06I think that's the goal for unconventional challenge.
00:44:08I think that's the goal for unconventional challenge.
00:44:09I think that's the goal for unconventional challenge.
00:44:10I think that's the goal for unconventional challenge.
00:44:11like a sexy but still sophisticated and I'm really proud of like all the work I
00:44:17did and I think it's important as a designer and artist to work further and
00:44:26to push further the material you already have I think that's the goal for
00:44:32unconventional challenge
00:44:41designers I have seen many unconventional material challenges in fact I've seen
00:44:48them all literally but this is one of the best rarely am I speechless and I am
00:44:56I am completely speechless it was incredible congratulations on getting
00:45:03through what is always the most painful challenge thank you one of you will be
00:45:10the winner and one of you will be out
00:45:22hey designers can you please step up to the runway
00:45:29we have scored your designs bones coral you are in you may leave the runway
00:45:40yes the six of you had the highest and lowest scores one of you will be the
00:45:50winner and one of you will be out okay here comes one of our favorite looks this
00:45:56one blew us away
00:46:06Aaron what did you use for your look this is the soft cushy cabinet liner for
00:46:12glasses there are a thousand stirs put on duct tape sewn through and then made a
00:46:16fringe straws tablecloths but what is the coat that is
00:46:21parchment paper on a tablecloth lined with a microfiber towel I feel that like it's
00:46:27so beautiful I thought it was complex in the bust in a way that really made me
00:46:33want to know more was anything silver when you started or you sprayed it off
00:46:38everything was sprayed I love the geometry of this dress it looks like an
00:46:43architectural feet and the effect that you created with the straws is extremely
00:46:50polished thank you for me I actually really didn't need the capelet I found
00:46:54that it kind of took me out of this metallic world that maybe if you would
00:46:57have just led with this like I would have scored it a bit higher but yeah I think
00:47:01it's a really successful dress thank you great execution great idea and I just
00:47:06love to see you in the top feeling confident I feel like I'm starting to come out of my
00:47:10shell and do something that's more about the little bit of extraness that I am it
00:47:14was extra in all the right ways thank you Aaron thank you the next look did feel a
00:47:23little crafty and got one of our lowest scores the anticipation
00:47:27Chastity tell us how you made your look and what you used I used bottle caps
00:47:40that I hammered out flat coffee filters knives popcorn and 14 for me it was the
00:47:49construction of it that I could see coming off and the paint at the bottom
00:47:54not being fully there and then kind of seeing the green of the popcorn that's
00:47:59where it sort of took me out of it but from far away I really understood it it's
00:48:04like a nice graduation of texture throughout but it's just the execution
00:48:09falls short of like what I would hope for you maybe the silhouette needed a
00:48:14little more polish but frankly I guess too much of a glue gun did you and I mean
00:48:20I can't sell the bottle caps so I had to use the glue gun I'm sorry I spent a lot of time on the top and I
00:48:34forgot about I had a whole skirt to finish so you just ran out of time like it
00:48:39happened thank you Chastity the next look had one of the lowest scores
00:48:48Anna when you were in the bar you mentioned when cocktail dress coming
00:48:58from in that period in China we wear the main ring gown for the cocktail dress
00:49:03what are the materials this is the toilet and on top of the gown is a plastic bag
00:49:09and the stickers from the exercise graphic text is always really nice to think about
00:49:16using but you really have to think about it I don't know if it's exit or excite
00:49:20or what exiting has to do with thank you I just kind of felt like all over the
00:49:24place so I really think just being a bit more intentional about why you're
00:49:28choosing the words that you are if you do end up using words out of all the
00:49:32designers you were the only one that created a print and I also lived with
00:49:39ordering a lot of takeout so I'm very familiar with the plastic bags and the
00:49:46thank you what's the meaning behind the exit sign that's falling down her dress
00:49:52okay well I'm saying exit because always I end up the conversation I say oh bye bye
00:49:58so it's like okay thank you exit you know in this dress I really have had fun you know I get
00:50:05out overall the construction of the dress was not the problem to me it was the design and shockingly
00:50:13for you it was the taste level sorry thank you Anna okay here comes one of our favorite looks
00:50:22two straps is like perfection yeah it was beautiful Chantal talk to us about how you achieved the look
00:50:36once that I start doing the straws I see the text still working the machines I knew that there was the
00:50:42material that I wanted to use and there's like a lot of cutouts that way the straws can have movement
00:50:48these are not hot glued on this is you sewed each one of these straws I've been sitting in the
00:50:53machine like 15 hours the whole dress have no glue is the corset bone we didn't have bones but this is
00:51:01like thick enough to hold it I think it's amazing it looks like it could have been beaded by Lesage in
00:51:07France the construction is insane it's stunning thank you so much what kind of person just picks
00:51:13straws that is a person who clearly has no fear every element of this should have gone wrong but it was
00:51:23sensational from top to bottom including the hair the shoes the bag what can I say I love a comeback story
00:51:30I can't believe you almost went home and then you turned around and made this this is what this
00:51:36competition is about this is why we're here to find people like you who can do this I'm really
00:51:46impressed it's tasteful head to toe I mean thank you know what impressed me so much about this look
00:51:54was the confidence in the vision you took an idea and it feels so edited and so precise and that is a
00:52:04mark of a really good designer thank you so much thank you Chantal you and you can leave the runway
00:52:10the next look was one of our least favorites of the night let's get it out here
00:52:34project tell us about your look when I went to the bar and I saw the doilies it reminded me of
00:52:42something that you will find in the island we use a lot of old vintage lace I didn't use the entire
00:52:47thing I just cut the laces out and then really place them there do the flowers at the bottom and
00:52:52then as I come up really stretch them to create the don't tell detail I really wanted to give her a fit
00:52:58and I'm really do love the dress did you ombre the dress once it was already fully constructed once I
00:53:04was done I would step back I realized it was gonna turn into a carnival float so I just decided to
00:53:09ombre the bottom in the pink but it did take a lot of time so I did do this part at the end risky but
00:53:15like I think there was a lightness to it and a happiness to it that I responded to and I think
00:53:21there were some fit issues but I think also you're working with the pleather underneath which besides
00:53:29the doily is I think the issue I personally kind of like the direction that you were taking this look
00:53:36the thoughtfulness that you had while applying the doilies onto the garment was nice but I wish
00:53:43that the bottom of the dress was pegged even more can I see the back of it I mean I think you still
00:53:50could have pegged it even more and just put the slip higher so she could have had more mobility the
00:53:55fit at the waistline wasn't flattering on your model if the dress was gonna be so straight on
00:54:00the bottom then maybe showing more skin here would have felt like okay we're still flattering her body
00:54:05so I'm curious if that was intentional or if that was a result of how challenging it was to use this
00:54:11fabric I'm from a very conservative country that we don't show up front if our backs are showing we
00:54:16don't show up back to the front showing so that's my design aesthetic I love what you did with the
00:54:21ombre and I like the fact that you chose the doilies to mimic lace where I think you missed I think she
00:54:32was drowning in so much doilies the end result needed some more work thank you project sorry Anna you can
00:54:42leave the run okay let's bring out one of our highest scores let's bring the model up okay Christina how did
00:54:55you make this so this is all plastic sequins flowers I create with a lighter and plastic cups and plastic
00:55:04containers and I use also aluminum containers and I cut the leaf shapes and I created peacock feathers
00:55:15first inspired by Aileen's flowers last time that's where I was like where have I seen them before and
00:55:22you made the feather from aluminum as well yeah wow I'm shook I know I'm sorry and what's the base of
00:55:31the dress the mesh from the bar and how are the sequins applied I use a glue gun the most edge part I put
00:55:38the glue and I attach it to the base you can like obviously see all the work that's gone into it the
00:55:44metal pasties that are like somehow integrated within this dress insane can we see the back also the
00:55:50noise of sex like I love the sounds it looks really really expensive as well thank you I appreciate I love
00:55:56the way that you use this challenge creating what would be a new sequin a new feather I think she
00:56:04look great I can feel the confidence of that design I think I love everything about this look it feels
00:56:12like what's next a truly fresh take on a cocktail dress this would have been show-stopping had you
00:56:21blown your budget at move all right thanks Christina Jessica you can get the one much you all have given us
00:56:32thanks quite a bit to talk about and leave the runway and we will see you soon thank you thank you
00:56:39congrats to be safe good night stand behind my dress yeah all right let's discuss who the winner should
00:56:49be okay should we start with Chantal I have never seen straws look sexier the execution and the fit on
00:56:57that look was I think some of the best that has ever been here whether it was an unconventional
00:57:03material or something that you could find in a fabric store from an Italian vendor the construction was
00:57:08insane I think Chantal has emerged as a clear front-runner in this competition I think we have to
00:57:15transition to Christina she also delivered something very modern yeah very creative sequins rosettes flowers
00:57:25others she like made it all on anybody else an aluminum looking nipple cover would have been the
00:57:32statement and it's like it was an afterthought it was so done and from such a feminine point of view I
00:57:37love the ombre effect I love the silhouette I love the transparency there's so much to love about this look
00:57:43what about Aaron I thought he did a really good job he used the materials really cleverly yes we've
00:57:52seen it but we really haven't seen it made out of straws and linings and stir sticks the more I kept
00:58:00looking at the skirt I could never have told you that that was like a drink stir yeah dang it really
00:58:04looks like a beautiful sequin skirt okay I think we know who the winner is let's move on to who should
00:58:12go home should we start by talking about chastity's it was lovely and baroque from the front and it was
00:58:19green hot glued popcorn from the back but it was ambitious and there was some visual story there yeah
00:58:25to have that creativity to create a texture was kind of incredible up close I have to concede it was not
00:58:33perfect but I just love the way it moved down the runway I love that blouncy a-line skirt I thought it
00:58:39was nice just nice I thought it was nice at least chastity's design flattered her models gorgeous curves
00:58:48which is more than I can say from my boy project today I liked the idea of using doilies to create
00:58:56lace but ultimately the fit of that dress was like a paper bag I did think that he at least from the waist up
00:59:05made it look like lace which I thought was nice he cut up a whole leather couch
00:59:10which made his look look really stiff that was part of the problem
00:59:17let's talk about Anna I felt like she just kind of threw everything on there without a plan it was
00:59:21just too gimmicky I didn't know what Anna was trying to say with this look I completely disagree she was the
00:59:29only person on this runway that created a print I think that she brought in her roots with the
00:59:37shape of the silhouette I thought it was clever the length was nice and this the little slit was nice but
00:59:42it just felt convoluted it was the worst when I'm looking at the three who were in the bottom all three
00:59:49are pretty chaotic I'm here to say you told them that they were perfect it was only nuanced you said
00:59:55before we even started it was fantastic but I did think it was fantastic okay but who do you want
01:00:00to send home because we have to can I just say I am living for this fashion family feud moment that
01:00:05we're having right now I'm actually like sweating in so many places right now this is getting so heated
01:00:10it's very hard
01:00:21Chantal Aaron and Christina you all created modern and innovative looks that to be honest we couldn't
01:00:32even tell were made from unconventional materials great job all around
01:00:38Chantal congratulations you are the winner of this challenge
01:00:48your construction and the fact that we couldn't even tell they were straws really pushed you over the
01:00:56edge so congratulations Chantal the Felicito the total for us on seeing it for favor for fuerza that
01:01:05Aaron and Christina you are also in you can all leave the runway thank you thank you oh my god just the
01:01:15fact that I was out of this competition after putting like all my effort and my soul and then having the

01:01:41looks it's gonna be a real heartbreaker tonight all of you are tremendously talented Anna your look was
01:01:49in complete and your model was overwhelmed by donors chastity your execution fell short and up close the dress looked too crafty
