00:00This season on Project Runway.
00:04I'm back!
00:07Your look walk out.
00:08I was like, the cervix is dilated and she's crowning.
00:12No tea, no shade, no pink lemonade.
00:15It's fashion's pierces competition.
00:18You have to bring it.
00:19It really is pushing the boundaries of fashion.
00:22She's badass and flirty at the same time.
00:25This is special.
00:26You have done something that a lot of people cannot do.
00:31And that is to shut me up.
00:33With designers that will stop at nothing to win.
00:36You're the most untalented designer.
00:41Done.
00:42Shut up.
00:42Oh shit.
00:43We're in fashion, supposed to be competitive.
00:45I'm gonna fight to be here.
00:46She is drama.
00:48It's gonna be cutthroat.
00:50Judges who aren't afraid to be brutally honest.
00:52No one would wear that outfit.
00:54The dress was a complete mess.
00:57Is that inspiring?
00:58I don't know how to handle this.
01:00Ugh!
01:00I'm not gonna do.
01:01I do not come to look at a bunch of ugly clothes.
01:04This is unwearable.
01:05This is so weird.
01:06It's a new house with new rules.
01:09Alright designers, that's time.
01:11You are still sewing?
01:12Mmm.
01:13I wanna go home.
01:14Are you nuts?
01:15I want this so bad.
01:16Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
01:19Ah!
01:20I wanna be on top.
01:21In fashion, one day you're in, and the next day, you're out.
01:27For 12 designers, this is a chance of a lifetime.
01:31At stake for the winner is $200,000.
01:34Six months of representation from Agent 3 PR.
01:38A spread in Elle magazine.
01:40And a life-changing mentorship with the CFDA.
01:43This is Project Runway.
01:45This is Project Runway into a perfect magic.
01:55Oh, shit.
01:56Yo, we on Project Runway for real.
02:00Yo, we on Project Runway for real.
02:06Welcome to Project Runway, AKA The Joseph McCray Show.
02:09Ooh.
02:11Listen, it's Joseph McCray is one word.
02:13Do not break it up.
02:14First and last together, and that's it.
02:19Uh-oh.
02:20You got a designer and a model.
02:24I'm a tall bitch.
02:30Hey, Diva.
02:32How are you?
02:33I'm Joseph McCray.
02:34I'm Ethan, but you may recognize me as Utica from RuPaul's Dry Grease.
02:39You think I can eat that?
02:40Yeah.
02:41You can cue on it.
02:42Girl, this is Crystals.
02:43Oh, we got another one.
02:44Hey, Diva.
02:45How are you?
02:46Hello, Ethan.
02:47Nice to meet you.
02:48VJ.
02:49I'm Joseph McCray.
02:50Hi, Joseph.
02:51No, no, no.
02:52You got to say that first of all.
02:53Hi.
02:54Hold on.
02:55VJ is Joseph McCray.
02:56Okay.
02:57Joseph, right?
02:58Joseph McCray.
02:59Don't even split it.
03:00Okay, Joseph McCray.
03:01Boom.
03:02Easy, right?
03:04Hola.
03:05Hola.
03:06Hi.
03:07I'm Joseph McCray.
03:08Hey.
03:09Madeline, nice to meet you.
03:10Madeline, pleasure.
03:11Hey.
03:12Hola.
03:13Hi.
03:14Bitches, I am back.
03:16Jesus, nice to meet you.
03:18I'm Jesus Estrada from Project Runway Season 7.
03:21I'm so excited.
03:23Jesus, we are concerned about your taste level.
03:27I was a baby.
03:28I was 21 years old.
03:30I'm 36 now.
03:31Hola.
03:32Back then, I didn't know who I was as a designer.
03:34Now, coming back, I know my DNA.
03:37I have a very successful business.
03:39So, Heidi has nothing to worry about this time around, about my taste level.
03:44I'm gonna win, just so you know.
03:46So, I hope you bitches are ready.
03:48Yes.
03:49What is going on?
03:50Girl.
03:51I'm VJ.
03:52I'm Joan.
03:53Nice to meet you.
03:54Joan, nice to meet you, Joan.
03:55Hey, guys.
03:56Hey, what's up?
03:57Hi.
03:58My name is Yuchen.
03:59Hi.
04:00Hi.
04:03My name is Casey Black.
04:04I was on Season 19 of Project Runway, and I left on Episode 1.
04:12I'm, like, crying laughing.
04:13Casey, you are out.
04:15Being eliminated in the first challenge, I didn't get to show who I was as a person, as
04:21a designer, as an artist.
04:23So, I'm just hoping to prove who I am.
04:25Hi.
04:26Hi.
04:27Hi.
04:28Hi.
04:29Hi.
04:30Honey, you look like you're ready.
04:33I mean, born ready, baby.
04:35Oh, shit, bitch.
04:36Are you guys ready to double the travel?
04:40Is that my twin brother?
04:43Oh, no, no, no, no.
04:48There's another one.
04:50The Estrada did not come to play.
04:53Let them meet the winner.
04:57Wait, this one's my side, no?
04:59They want me here, though.
05:00You want to tell them that you want this other?
05:02Yeah, that's my side.
05:03Is that going to be a fight?
05:05Hi.
05:06I'm Antonio Estrada.
05:07I'm the winner of Project Runway season 21, and this is the first runner-up.
05:10Bitch.
05:11No, I'm kidding.
05:12What's he on season 7?
05:13No.
05:14Okay, okay.
05:15This is his first time.
05:16I waited 15 years.
05:17We're here.
05:18Yes.
05:19There you go.
05:20And I always knew I wanted to do fashion.
05:23It was my dream to be on Project Runway, not my brother.
05:25I said my brother went in before me, so.
05:27But I never felt like I was living in his shadow.
05:31I'm talented.
05:33I'm excited to showcase my own creation.
05:35It's going to be my own vision, my own style outside of my brother.
05:38And I'm here to win.
05:396, 7, 8, 9, 10.
05:40We're done.
05:41We're done.
05:42We're done.
05:43We're done.
05:44Yeah, 12.
05:45There you go.
05:48Yeah!
05:50Welcome home, mama.
05:53Yes!
05:54Yes!
05:55Yes!
05:56Designers, welcome to Project Runway.
05:58I can't believe I'm saying this again.
06:00This is so exciting.
06:01I'm your host, Heidi Klum.
06:03Heidi, what?
06:04Yes!
06:05This is truly a magical place where dreams do come true.
06:10And no one knows this more than the world-renowned designer and icon next to me, Christian Siriano.
06:17Yes!
06:18I'm good.
06:23So you want to know your first challenge?
06:26Absolutely.
06:27Okay, if you ask any designer where they first fell in love with fashion, I think one answer
06:33comes up more than any other.
06:34The Disney princess.
06:36The princesses have inspired so many designers for decades.
06:42And as you know, behind every powerful princess, there's something lurking.
06:47Ooh!
06:50The Disney villains.
06:51Yes!
06:53Not only were they scary, but they were fabulously evil.
06:58Okay, designers, we're in a new home with new rules.
07:02So for your first challenge, you will be forming fashion houses.
07:07Woo!
07:08Heidi, what are you doing to us?
07:10One house will be house of princess.
07:13While the other will be the house of villains.
07:18Please stand on the side that your work is on.
07:21Right here, right here.
07:22Oh my god.
07:24Your house is the house of princess.
07:26Okay!
07:27No, I don't want to sew in all black.
07:28Yeah, me neither.
07:29That makes you house of villains.
07:31Each house must create a cohesive collection.
07:35That's C word.
07:36For the very first runway show at the Enchanted United Palace.
07:41Ooh!
07:43We only have one day to create this look.
07:47Whew!
07:48You guys have 45 minutes to brainstorm, to sketch, and then you run off to Mood to get your fabric.
07:55Oh god, believe it.
07:56Do you believe it?
07:57I'm so happy to be here and I can't believe I'm saying this again.
08:00I'll see you on the runway!
08:01Yeah!
08:06Love you, Heidi.
08:08What's happening?
08:10I am having a moment of PTSD because my first challenge in Season 19 was a group challenge.
08:18And now I'm in Season 21 and it's also a group challenge.
08:23I'm getting hives, I'm sweating, I'm like having panic attacks.
08:29I cannot be eliminated first.
08:32Not again.
08:33Oh!
08:37Okay.
08:38Here we go, guys.
08:39Okay.
08:40All right.
08:41Our first challenge is a group challenge, so we have to sketch and figure out what we're gonna have going on so we can bring these princess looks to life.
08:49It is game on.
08:50Let's go.
08:51What's that one thing that can thread all the collection?
08:54I think it's gonna come down to the fabric selection.
08:56Fabric.
08:57I definitely got inspired by Ursula and since I have a delicious, curvaceous girl as a model, I wanna do a powerful suit, fit it all the way below the knee and then it's gonna go out.
09:10I wanna make sure her body looks like snatched.
09:12I think a villain has a good cape.
09:15Yeah.
09:16And if I can switch up the idea of having a cape, would we like that?
09:20Yes.
09:21I grew up on a farm.
09:22When I created Utica, it was a conduit for my queer artistic energy because back on the farm, I am the gay community.
09:31I'm the mayor of Queerville.
09:34I mostly do these one-of-a-kind bespoke pieces for my community, but not everybody wants to ready-to-wear drag outfit, so I'm worried about that.
09:44It could get too costumey if I don't do it right.
09:48Oh.
09:50It has to be cohesive.
09:52We should think of a theme, like a color palette.
09:54Yeah.
09:55I work with my brother 24-7, so if I can win this for myself, it's proving myself.
10:01I'm excited to intimidate the other designers, and I'm excited to intimidate my brother.
10:06The color palette's bright.
10:07The fabric that I brought from home, it's literally that fabric, the butterfly, but it's in pink and it has orangey tones.
10:17The butterflies are blue.
10:19So let's have the inspiration of our collection be butterfly.
10:22Butterfly.
10:25Butterfly, yes.
10:26Cool with that?
10:27Yes.
10:28Um, okay.
10:29Butterfly fabric is not going on my design.
10:32I'm really sorry.
10:33I don't know if it's Giving Princess.
10:35It's just not my style.
10:37So show me how you do it.
10:39My name is Madeline.
10:41My design point of view is inspired by historical fashion.
10:45I like collars.
10:46I like poofy sleeves.
10:48I like pants.
10:51I gotta see this fabric, because if it doesn't speak to me, I'm not using it.
10:55That's fine.
10:56It's crazy.
10:57We're agreeing to this fabric that we've never seen.
11:00All right, guys.
11:01Here we go.
11:03What do you think?
11:04I am not feeling it.
11:05She's ice cold.
11:07My name is Joan Madison.
11:09I'm years old.
11:12I'm a seasoned designer.
11:13I've worked in the garment industry.
11:15I've owned and operated my own bridal shop for the last 20 years.
11:19So this is my time.
11:21And I'm not here to use basic butterfly fabric.
11:24You know, I'm here to show them who's the queen.
11:27I feel like I want brighter.
11:29I want brighter, too.
11:30Yeah.
11:31Yeah.
11:32Antonio's butterfly fabric, it was pretty cool to me.
11:35But I already knew that I was going to do what I wanted to do.
11:37Anyway, so...
11:38Are you going to pull something from here?
11:42I don't even know.
11:43For me, the butterflies reprint this.
11:46But if they don't see it, they're crazy.
11:55All right, designers.
11:56$600 each.
11:5745 minutes to shop.
11:58Okay, go.
12:02Joseph McCray.
12:03Joseph McCray, you got to say the first with the last.
12:05Joseph McCray, you got to say the first with the last.
12:07No, this is too purple.
12:13Everybody's using this print.
12:14No, I'm the only one.
12:16But they all make sense.
12:17We got sequin.
12:18We have velvet.
12:19We've got your print.
12:20We have tulle.
12:21Our team had a plan coming into this.
12:24But now we're running around the store.
12:26Chicken with his head cut off.
12:28I'm like...
12:29And now we've got tweed.
12:30I don't know what's happening.
12:31Patricia, this is 2025, baby.
12:33Okay, I'm...
12:34Listen, I work in 2025.
12:36I'm doing okay.
12:38Come, come, come, come.
12:39Villain team.
12:40Can I please have you and beat it, please?
12:42We have to have a meeting right now.
12:43I played this game before.
12:45And I think at this point, I know what it takes.
12:48And if someone has to take control, I think that person's going to be me.
12:51Great idea.
12:52Let's meet.
12:53Make sure it makes sense together.
12:55I need to get lining, so I'll be back, okay?
12:58Lining?
12:59Lining.
13:00Okay.
13:01Yeah.
13:02Okay.
13:03Vijay is in her own bubble.
13:04She needs to be a team player.
13:06I don't know.
13:07My team is going everywhere, so I haven't been able to get them here.
13:10No meeting.
13:11Hope it looks good.
13:12Fiddling, fiddling.
13:13Here we go.
13:14Did I cut enough?
13:15Can we sing Disney songs?
13:16Ah!
13:17Ah!
13:18Ah!
13:19Ah!
13:20Ah!
13:21Ah!
13:22It's a good thing that's not her day job.
13:24That fabric is gorgeous.
13:26Take off the file.
13:27Yeah, right?
13:28Don't you think?
13:29Yeah.
13:30That's gorgeous.
13:31I know.
13:32I think so, too.
13:33Yeah.
13:34In season 19, I had a lot of ideas.
13:36It was really hard for me to edit down, and I lost track of time.
13:39I don't want that to happen again.
13:41So this challenge, I just think Slipping Beauty and tulle ball gown.
13:42I'm going to play with layers of tulle that I'm pamphleting.
13:46Casey, I remember her from season 19.
13:47Her aesthetic is very loud.
13:49And, yeah, it's pretty.
13:58And, yeah, it's pretty.
14:03fleeting.
14:04Casey, I remember her from season 19.
14:08Her aesthetic is very, um, loud and yeah, it's pretty.
14:18Welcome to Project Runway season 21.
14:22My name is Vijay Floresca.
14:24Aside from being a fashion designer, I used to be a beauty queen.
14:31Here's my pageant wave.
14:34I was second runner-up in Project Runway Philippines season one,
14:38and first runner-up in Dress My Tour.
14:41Being in those competitions will help me to finally win this competition.
14:46No more runner-ups, but to win the competition.
14:50How's it going, Diva?
14:52This one, this one.
14:57I can't really get a read on Vijay.
14:59This is a team challenge,
15:01and you have to be a little receptive to other people's critique and interest in what you're doing.
15:06She really is in her own zone.
15:08And to us, it seems like she's being an asshole.
15:11I know that I'm prizes, yeah, I can't even hide it.
15:21I know what you want, I know you like it.
15:24Let's do it!
15:25Let's get this party.
15:27Party!
15:28Get back to work.
15:31Color palettes coming together.
15:32Yeah.
15:33And that transition couldn't be any more perfect.
15:35I'm feeling like my team is a winning team.
15:38And I guess you can call me the team leader.
15:40Just because they actually fell in love with the fabric that I wanted to use for this challenge.
15:44But you know, I'm a Turner Strata.
15:46I can make anyone fall in love with anything.
15:49I think we're doing it, you guys.
15:50I think we're doing it.
15:51House of Princess.
15:52It's a lot of pink.
15:53It's a lot of ruffles.
15:54And there's some butterflies in there.
15:57It's not my flavor.
15:58I'm glad I'm not on Team Princess.
16:02Yeah, I hate it as well.
16:07Hey BJ, how you doing?
16:10Huh?
16:11I think there's some people in my team that are not being team players.
16:15BJ's energy is very standoffish.
16:18It's a bit cheap.
16:19Why you don't have a machine?
16:21Where's your machine?
16:22Girl, these are all of our machines.
16:23No, I mean like that was the one that I'm using.
16:25Okay, well I can use it too.
16:26Which one is the one that you were using?
16:28That's why I'm asking.
16:29I'm using all of them because we're all using all of them.
16:30I'm almost done.
16:31So you don't have like one of them?
16:32No, like everybody's using all of them.
16:34Come on, girl.
16:38You just decide to be lazy and not thread your own machine.
16:42This girl.
16:43The fight for the machine begins.
16:45Girl, relax.
16:47Like you don't own the machines.
16:49You're using black thread, honey.
16:50I am as well.
16:51So, bitch better not start.
16:54I don't like that shit.
16:55This is a competition.
16:56We're not here to meet friends.
16:58We're here to win this.
16:59And I think maybe Jesus wants to distract me.
17:02I'm not going to give him that power.
17:04I'm just going to ignore it.
17:06So, this is my villain law.
17:07Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
17:09You don't want to be in our bed tight.
17:10No, bitch.
17:16Hello.
17:17There's a lot going on in here.
17:18Yes, it is.
17:27Casey.
17:28Yes.
17:29Hi.
17:30Hi.
17:31We meet again.
17:32I know.
17:33I already need a martini.
17:34All right.
17:35What's happening?
17:36She'll be like a cake dress and the flowers.
17:37She's a cake.
17:38I'm just thinking, you know, there's ways to make this feel a bit more modern and cool.
17:44Okay.
17:45Maybe this tool is in here and it's more of a tool overlay somewhere.
17:49Mm-hmm.
17:50The proportions and the fit will be important here.
17:53Yeah.
17:54The waist.
17:55Okay.
17:56For sure.
17:57There's just so many things you could do to make this feel really cool and interesting.
17:59Oh, no.
18:00I have done a waist like this before and I love asymmetrical.
18:04I do a lot of asymmetrical, so I don't want to give that up.
18:08I think it's going to be gorgeous.
18:09Okay.
18:10Good luck.
18:12Wow.
18:13This is a little number, the Joseph McCray puffer.
18:18Beautiful shape.
18:19I like to play with shape a lot.
18:21I have a degree in electrical engineering.
18:23I think the engineering has very heavily influenced my design aesthetic and you look at the structure
18:28and you look at the like silhouettes.
18:29So I'm going to create a mean puffer jacket along with a wrap satin skirt in this midnight
18:35periwinkle repulsory fabric.
18:38People may not directly relate it to a princess, but listen, every princess needs a jacket.
18:42I'm feeling low-key Tinkerbell for real, for real.
18:44Making these cohesive is still part of the challenge.
18:47Don't just make a fabulous look for you.
18:49I know you don't want to listen.
18:51This is a skin situation, but...
18:53Wait, that's all out?
18:55No, it's not.
18:56Wait.
18:57Wait.
18:58This is Disney.
18:59I know.
19:00I know.
19:01I know.
19:02Where are my pearls?
19:07Antonio, what is happening over here?
19:10So what I'm going to do is I'm going to do this bubble dress laced up in the back.
19:13And then I want to do a coat over it with these two different colored tools all over the coat.
19:19So it will be like a reveal.
19:21You're making kind of two dresses that you might not finish.
19:26Why can't this piece just be the moment?
19:28But this one's done already.
19:29I'm just waiting for my model.
19:30It's done because literally like my intern could sew that in 30 minutes.
19:34Like that's not hard.
19:35What?
19:36What the ?
19:37Don't lose it completely.
19:38But like what else could this be?
19:39Could it have sculpture?
19:40Could it have some other element that anyone else has?
19:43Something's got to be cohesive.
19:44Like don't you think the butterfly thing is because of you, right?
19:48Yeah.
19:49Okay.
19:50So then you got to be amazing.
19:51I won't let you down.
19:52I feel like he kind of just like slapped me in the face.
19:53He was like, my intern can make that in 30 minutes.
19:54I'm like, okay.
19:55I'm a Gemini.
19:56I don't take critiques.
19:57I take critiques very like, don't tell me what to do, but I'm going to step it up.
20:12Step me up.
20:13No.
20:14No.
20:19Yuchun, what is your work normally like?
20:21My work is more like very futuristic.
20:23Okay.
20:24Very agile and very avant-garde.
20:26So I think you should do that because this doesn't feel very futuristic.
20:30Okay.
20:31It doesn't feel that avant-garde.
20:32To be honest, I haven't made garments like this before.
20:35For my brand, I always like, you know, making ready to wear.
20:37It's always very futuristic, very powerful.
20:40I'm here to challenge myself.
20:42My inspiration for this look is from Taka.
20:45So I'm making this like tool and lace dress with flowers and veins growing over and with a veil.
20:53Please don't be ugly.
20:54Okay.
20:55Thank you, Christian.
20:56Jesus.
20:57Yes.
20:58What's happening?
20:59I'm basically doing a powerful coat dress.
21:01All right.
21:02I also have another dress underneath.
21:04Right.
21:05So I think the challenge for you is how to make this feel more fashion, like something forward-thinking.
21:12I know in my head how the final product's going to look.
21:16And I think it's elegant.
21:17Now it's about how to make this feel like really modern, you know?
21:22Yeah.
21:23Okay.
21:24I would love a tour of the brain.
21:27Well, we know that a villain loves a cape.
21:30I'm doing my version of a cape where the cape is going to connect to the top of the head.
21:36Love it.
21:37And then clean, simple, classic underneath.
21:41Mm-hmm.
21:42So this is a pant and a top.
21:43Yep.
21:44Pant and a top.
21:45Then the twist.
21:46Oh, I love a twist.
21:47I will pattern in a curved glove pattern.
21:50I don't think they want it to feel too costumy.
21:54So I do think that that is important with your look because you have such a dramatic moment.
22:01Try not to get in my head about it.
22:03I'm used to grand drag on the stage.
22:07So I am trying to edit.
22:09How's the team going?
22:11We've got some independent creatures.
22:13We do, of course.
22:14On our team.
22:15We have a bitchy one in here.
22:16You have a sassy one?
22:17Yeah.
22:18Ooh.
22:19This thing over there in the corner.
22:20Ooh.
22:21Vijay?
22:22Oh, yeah.
22:23She's what we call in the business.
22:25A .
22:26Mm-hmm.
22:27Interesting.
22:28Wow.
22:29I don't think there's a problem with being old .
22:32But when it's your own team, come on.
22:34We just have a rectangle and fabric draped on the mannequin.
22:38I don't know what, like, the vibe is.
22:40You have four more hours to finish everything.
22:43And then you will be sending your models to the Ulta Beauty Salon.
22:46And I'll see you guys in a little bit for model fittings.
22:49Don't turn into a pumpkin.
22:51Bye.
22:52Bye.
22:54We are meeting right now.
22:56I think the House of Villains didn't get enough great feedback from Christian Suriano.
23:01So I must demand a team meeting right now because I cannot go home on the first challenge.
23:06Let's step back.
23:07It doesn't look cohesive.
23:09We need to add an element.
23:11I think the cohesiveness is all about the flowers that we have.
23:14It is floral, right?
23:15You're also the only one with lace, so we have to incorporate lace somewhere.
23:20I don't have more lace at all.
23:21Well, you need to cut a little piece, so it needs to be cohesive.
23:24Have you ever made a collection?
23:26Yeah.
23:27Being cohesive is making it that it looks like it's from the same collection and same design.
23:33I know, but why lace?
23:34No one has lace.
23:35That's what I'm saying.
23:36No one has this leather.
23:37No one has this velvet.
23:38I'm adding velvet on mine.
23:40I'm adding your flower as well.
23:42Mr. Yushin, this is a team challenge.
23:45I'm not meaning taking his lace to, like, sabotage him.
23:48I'm just trying to do the best that I can.
23:49But the red, I mean, it's beautiful, but it seems like we don't have red for any other looks.
23:53I think it's okay.
23:54Yeah.
23:55I think if you do, like, a red pop of color.
23:57I also am very competitive in there.
23:58I want an old black.
23:59I don't really understand why I have to devote my lace.
24:02Why he's doing this to me?
24:03Well, he's the biggest problem in the team.
24:07I'm just saying if we want to make the collection cohesive, you're the only one with lace.
24:13Wow, Yushin, he's definitely being a little shady bitch.
24:17If you're not here to be a team player, there's going to be a problem throughout this whole competition.
24:26Today is the first runway, and I'm just so scared what's going to happen.
24:30Not myself, but for other designers.
24:34She's part of team villains, so it's just slick back.
24:37I want something, like, you know, crying, smoky.
24:39Okay, thank you.
24:40You stand right here.
24:42This is great.
24:43Look at the proportions.
24:44Look, you can't see her waist.
24:45You've got nothing.
24:46I'm not going to make her look like a pinata.
24:48But that's kind of what it looks like.
24:50Oh, my God.
24:51I'm running out of time, and then I have to do a belt for this coat dress.
24:54I didn't want to have her look like a loofah.
24:57Silence!
25:06Where's the model?
25:07Oh, my God.
25:08This is more stressful than Cinderella at the ball.
25:10You are still sewing?
25:12No, this one, like...
25:13Mmm!
25:14Doing Heidi in three, two...
25:20Hi, everybody!
25:21Hi!
25:22All right, designers.
25:25That's it.
25:26That's time.
25:27You are coming.
25:28Come on.
25:29Please meet our project runway judges.
25:31My longtime friend, editor-in-chief of Elle magazine, Nina Garcia.
25:35Woo!
25:36Serious.
25:37Baby, that woman is powerful.
25:41I hope Nina Garcia sees my look, and she, like, sees me in my princess.
25:46The FDA award-winning stylist and image architect, La Roche.
25:52I'm thrilled.
25:53La Roche.
25:54Incredible celebrity stylist.
25:56He's worked with Zendaya.
25:58La Roche can tear me a new one whenever the man wants, okay?
26:02And please meet again our mentor, Christian Siriano.
26:07Welcome to our first show of the season of Project Runway.
26:10As you know, in fashion, one day you're in, and the next day, you're out.
26:14And in my case, you're back in again.
26:19For our first challenge, our designers formed Fashion Houses.
26:23Two teams of six designers creating cohesive collections
26:27inspired by Disney princesses or Disney villains.
26:31Woo!
26:32Let's start the show!
26:33Woo!
26:42I feel so confident.
26:43This dress is really giving me a vibe of cool, modern.
26:48I would walk out of here without happy.
26:50I'm telling you, that girl is a villain.
26:54You can wear it now.
26:55It's not so costumy.
26:56I think it's beautiful.
26:58I'm a wizard gonna pull an ace.
27:01Seeing my look go down the runway, I'm really happy.
27:03I'm proud of it.
27:08Just to see the scarf dragging, so it gave some kind of sense of elegance and dramatic effect.
27:12The shape of my gown looks so clean and elegant.
27:18I love the way the light hits the velvet.
27:21The collar is exciting.
27:24It gives drama.
27:25It's made well, too.
27:26I couldn't be more pleased that this is the first piece that the judges see for me.
27:34I am so happy.
27:36She's giving me a villain vibe.
27:39The leather is moving.
27:41The pants is well made.
27:43Perfectly tailored for her.
27:45It's like I'm so speechless.
27:47Wow.
27:48I'm pinching myself, seeing my look going down the runway.
27:52It's perfect, chic, and I feel like she looks like the villain.
27:58Mom, don't put your curse on me.
28:00I know.
28:08This look is the magnum opus of my mix between grand and sophisticated.
28:14Look at the detail of the glove.
28:16It's so witchy.
28:17It's harnessing wind, and it just feels like I have created something that is truly special.
28:25I hope that they get a good meal from what I'm serving.
28:29Yes!
28:36I feel the Joseph McCray princess gracing the space.
28:39I just cannot take my eyes off with my clothes because she is so beautiful.
28:45And I did that.
28:46Did you say daytime princess?
28:47Daytime.
28:48Keep going to lunch.
28:53I think it looks cute.
28:54I think she looks good.
28:56I feel good, actually.
28:57I just am not the kind of person to be like, oh, my God.
29:00Whoever did this knows how to sew.
29:02The construction is really great.
29:04When my model walks down the runway, it's definitely giving modern Jasmine for sure.
29:11And I see emotions being provoked when she's walking, and that's what I want.
29:16So I'm feeling confident about my look.
29:18It's a vibe.
29:21I'm feeling emotional and happy of the work.
29:23Seeing my model in my beautiful butterfly fabric that I brought from home makes me feel so nurtured, love, and accomplished.
29:31Is that camouflage?
29:34It's like a butterfly print.
29:39She is just floating in my gown, and it's exactly the feeling I wanted.
29:45It is modern princess feeling.
29:50I love how the tool floats.
29:52It's like a little dance happening on the fabric.
29:55I feel very proud.
29:57Of course, it's beautiful.
29:59Seeing my princess slash queen's garment, whew, I think she definitely owned the space.
30:04I knew that it was over.
30:08Designers, congratulations.
30:12That was a very special first show.
30:16Well done.
30:17Now we have to see which house has a fairytale ending, and which one just ends.
30:23My heart is racing, and I love my look.
30:26I'm sure the judges want to see more of me.
30:29I mean, what is there not to love of Antonio, right?
30:31But you never know.
30:32It's anyone's game.
30:40Welcome to your home away from home, the runway.
30:43Amazing.
30:44Yes.
30:45This was a great first challenge.
30:47And applause to all of you guys, because really,
30:49everyone did a great job.
30:52But we're going to start nitpicking now.
30:54Yeah.
30:56We have scored your designs, and only one house
30:59has risen to the top.
31:02The best look will come from the winning house,
31:04while the eliminated designer will come from the losing house.
31:09The winning house for this challenge is...
31:14House of Villains.
31:15Whoa!
31:16This team was a hard one to work with.
31:22But we won.
31:23We won.
31:24We won.
31:25We won.
31:26Unfortunately, that means House of Princes.
31:30You are the losing house.
31:33You can leave the runway.
31:34We'll talk to you later.
31:36Oh my god, I didn't think I belonged here.
31:43I am shocked.
31:44What just happened?
31:46This feels horrible.
31:47Oh.
31:50So congratulations.
31:52You guys are winning a house.
31:53Your clothes really spoke to the challenge,
31:57but also did in a way that felt really modern,
32:00that separated you from the other team.
32:02Your collection, at least, looked cohesive.
32:07All right, let's talk to the top three,
32:09our favorite looks.
32:13Ethan.
32:15Ta-da!
32:18We also love Yuchin.
32:22And we had a little bit of a debate over the third spot.
32:28It is Jesus.
32:31Yes.
32:33Alex, Angelo, BJ, you're safe.
32:37And you can leave the runway.
32:39Thank you so much.
32:40Thank you, baby.
32:43Thank you, guys.
32:44All right.
32:45Let's bring out your models.
32:48You were our three favorite looks tonight.
32:52All right, Yuchin.
32:53Let's talk about your looks.
32:55To me, this is now.
32:56I love this, especially now.
32:57Everything is about sheer.
32:59And so I feel like you're right on what's happening
33:01right now, and she looks beautiful.
33:03I would wear this, too.
33:04It's gorgeous.
33:05I really like your dress.
33:06It's young.
33:07It's sexy.
33:08It's gothic.
33:09It's evil.
33:10I can definitely see Jenna Ortega in this dress
33:14at a premiere of Wednesday Addams.
33:16A slight change.
33:17I would have switched the styling with the boots,
33:19but I think it is a really, really great dress,
33:21and I think it is very commercial.
33:24The flower in the back is curious,
33:26but I love the ruching that you did on the bodice.
33:30If we change this black into pink, you could be in the princess.
33:35Yeah.
33:36Just say.
33:37I'm versatile.
33:38All right.
33:39Oh, me, too.
33:40Ethan, we're going to talk to you next.
33:45Hello, distinguished panel of judges.
33:48OK.
33:49Your model is actually quite petite.
33:52However, she felt grandiose.
33:55It was like this dark shadow had just slithered through this stage.
34:00It wasn't just the clothes.
34:03It was a feeling.
34:04The construction was really, really good.
34:06The velvet was a great idea.
34:09Velvet always looked so rich.
34:11There was a little things that I noticed on the cape.
34:14There was a scene that I wish I didn't see,
34:16and a little bit of the hem is puckering,
34:18but you did such a beautiful job.
34:20Bravo, my love.
34:21It's giving me villain, but it's not giving me costume.
34:25I feel like if you don't have this cape on,
34:26you wear this jumpsuit underneath, it's like modern, it's cool.
34:29I would want to wear it.
34:31I love the nails because this little detail, I was like, yes.
34:36And she looks stunning.
34:38All right, Jesus.
34:40Jesus, it's so lovely to see you again.
34:43It was bold of you to choose a color when everybody else stuck to black.
34:50I think that's why you're up here is because in a sea of black,
34:53to have this fabrication that feels really rich and really luxe
34:57was really important.
34:58For me, it was very important to make her feel sexy,
35:01and I think that I embody that.
35:03I love the coat.
35:04I think it's fabulous.
35:06I hated it.
35:08I was the only one.
35:09I was out judged.
35:10Hate is such a big word.
35:12It's a short word.
35:13It's only four letters.
35:15I'm sorry if you hate the coat.
35:17I hate the whole look.
35:19Oh, don't get emotional.
35:23We liked it.
35:26I love how your model looks.
35:29She feels regal.
35:31We need ambitious designers.
35:32Yes.
35:33Guys, I have to disagree with everything Nina said.
35:37To me, she doesn't look cool.
35:40She doesn't look young.
35:41She looks like a Nigerian auntie.
35:43I have clients of all different sizes, ages,
35:47and one thing you have to care about is the placement of the breast.
35:51Then you could have done something to lift the breast a little bit more.
35:55If you're going to say that you want to make a curvy woman feel beautiful and powerful
35:59and all those things, do you have to do it in your design?
36:03Does anyone disagree with any of that?
36:05Yeah.
36:06A lot of the times, I feel like designers put a curvy girl into something so loose
36:12that we can't see the beautiful curves.
36:13Then I think you look beautiful.
36:15Okay.
36:16All right.
36:17Now it's time to name our winner.
36:29Congratulations, Ethan.
36:31You're the winner of this challenge.
36:32Yes.
36:33Shut up.
36:34Crown me, baby, because the queen is on top this week.
36:41Yurika won.
36:44Ethan, Ethan.
36:46Ethan, Ethan, Ethan, Ethan.
36:49Ah!
36:50Feels right.
36:51La Roche was rocked.
36:53I'm so shocked right now.
36:55Shocked, shocked, shocked.
36:56It feels like I'm not on the top,
36:59even though I should be celebrating being on the top.
37:01I feel a little attacked.
37:04I'm gagged.
37:05But, and I think it's very critical for me moving forward to really listen to what the
37:11judges have to say.
37:12All I have to do is prove him wrong.
37:14What was the feedback for yours?
37:16What did they have to say?
37:17Oh, good.
37:17Yeah?
37:18And does it really get some, like, you know, very good advices, you know?
37:22But my advice to you is, through this challenge, like, every time I would be like, oh, can we
37:27do this, you're like, no, no, no.
37:28Just, sometimes you do have, sometimes you have to listen.
37:33But, girl, I have to say what I'm saying.
37:35So, remember you talking about my lace?
37:37You're saying everyone take a piece of the lace from your check.
37:39Did I say that?
37:40Everybody take a piece of his lace?
37:42We have the camera on there.
37:43Okay, bro, it was a team challenge, and that was just a request.
37:47I have my own opinion.
37:48I'm a very mature designer, so nobody needs to tell me anything unless I want to take it,
37:53okay?
37:54You getting really offended really is throwing me off.
37:57All right, all right, all right, all right, guys.
37:58Like, seriously?
37:59Mm-hmm.
38:00You know what you're doing, girl.
38:01No, I don't know what I'm doing.
38:02You don't know.
38:03No.
38:03You don't know.
38:04Mm-mm.
38:06Child.
38:09All right, let's bring out House of Princess.
38:13House of Princess, you made our least favorite collection.
38:20It was not cohesive.
38:21Unfortunately, there were three looks that were less Disney and more dismal.
38:29Belania, Madeline, Joan, you're safe, and you can leave the runway.
38:35Thank you for my...
38:37Whoo!
38:38Whoo!
38:43You're safe, and you're safe.
38:44And I like to talk.
38:46Unfortunately, that means Casey, Joseph, and Antonio.
38:49You had the three bottom looks.
38:53Am I being punk?
39:03Am I being punk?
39:04No.
39:04Okay.
39:05Mm-hmm.
39:07All right, let's bring out your models.
39:09joseph we're gonna start with you first like i did not see the inspo i knew that that was you
39:22but i just don't get princess from this thing i wish that you would have picked a lane you
39:27have volume but then you have her wrapped up in this skirt that seems to be strangling her
39:35it's a question of proportions you're playing with too many i disagree i enjoy the way you play
39:42with proportions i like the coat he popped that coat off and it was a sweetheart bodice
39:46dress it isn't i like it i think she's looked really cool i can see some of my clients wearing
39:52this to me we agreed to disagree yeah we agreed to disagree can she turn around
39:59yeah now the back isn't great this is not i'm sorry the back is a couch cushion
40:06okay antonio if you had asked chat gbt to help you make a john batista valley for a hundred dollars
40:12then that's what that look was after christian's critiques i did change my look a few times
40:19and there is another dress underneath is the dress still underneath or no yeah let's see it
40:25yeah yeah well christian told me his intern can make that dress in 30 minutes blaming everything
40:30on christian i just think this dress underneath an intern could make it in 30 minutes it's a tube
40:35dress you couldn't have shown that by itself but you know why didn't you let it be open i don't
40:40know why you put the belt on it i didn't know you were going to cover up the butterflies completely
40:45it's better this way yeah because with that cute little mini dress under it at least you see
40:50her body it's charming thank you but this is not how we saw it she just looked like a big loofah
40:56when christian was curious i said i'm like don't think it's going to be a pinata stop blaming it on
41:01christian you're here now i'm not blaming christian i wrote he knows i'm a gemini and i don't like
41:06people tell me what to do and i was like you're an adult you're going to listen to christian he's
41:11here for a reason he's your mentor and i did listen to him and that's why i changed my look three
41:15times and you know you pushed me to be spicy be better the inspo of the butterfly comes from
41:21which princess which princess i mean every princess antonio but you're being so defensive
41:28we're just trying to understand i'm trying to explain myself i'm sorry right but i don't think
41:33there's any reason to be defensive no i'm not being defensive at all i'm just explaining myself
41:37sorry no i think i think nina's right to call that out i think you are being just defensive and also a
41:43little bit rude it's okay to be criticized and to be and to and to be you know let down by the
41:51criticism but to kind of like throw it back your response has really been really quite nasty i'm
41:57just letting you know okay one girl to another maybe it's my latina side maybe
42:02next
42:08casey let's talk about your look i really love this jacquard and i wish that all this other stuff
42:16would disappear i don't know to me it looks like a nightgown you know it's very luck bluster in terms
42:23of like shape and everything and what you then wrapped around to me looks like an afterthought
42:27can she turn around yes the ribbon is what i hate in it yeah 100 i want to see like more design
42:36it's not inspiring i love the deep plunge i just think it was a miss because you had everything to
42:43make something so beautiful and so fairy tale like and and you kind of missed it i hear you all right
42:50designers we have to make a decision you can leave the runway thank you
42:55this is so much fun i love this job
43:02yeah i can tell i don't know if they're gonna make it out alive at the end
43:09can you see what's happening you're good
43:13i guess we can all agree that joseph is not going home right there's so much going on
43:25but the color was really beautiful the combination of fabrics were very wonderful
43:30he's like i'm making what i make couches
43:33casey nina what did you think the dress was a complete it was horrible mess and boring too
43:41it literally like she took a staple gun it was just like no it was awful i'm an adult and i'm
43:45gonna take criticism about bitch when you're putting words in my mouth like antonio blah what
43:49were your thoughts that dress when he opened it up was really cute like 30 minutes to make that
43:54dress yeah but the coat made i like that it was a coat i know but what if he didn't have that coat
43:59yeah no he needed that kind of he's like whoa your attitude i'm like oh bitch that attitude is so bad
44:07then he said it's probably just the latina in me girl like yeah all right that's not an excuse
44:14with my nina baby yeah you could be very talented but if you have a bad attitude and you can't work
44:21with others in this industry we have seen it bad attitude is a problem i'm so proud of myself
44:31it's just very emotional you know and intense like
44:36just intense i just feel like i'm in shock a bit right now like um i actually really loved my dress
44:45being in this position again never thought i'd be in the bottom three at this stage of the competition
44:50again like after being eliminated on episode one of another season like it just feels like a bad joke
44:56i don't want to go home
45:00they're so mean why am i here i didn't think my design was the worst but being in the bottom three
45:10i feel like shattered do i really need to be here do i really need this is like let's just go home
45:17so do we say home the bad dress or the bad attitude
45:22i want to go home
