00:00This season on Project Runway.
00:04I'm back!
00:07Your look walk out.
00:08I was like, the cervix is dilated and she's crowning.
00:12No tea, no shade, no pink lemonade.
00:15It's fashion's pierces competition.
00:18You have to bring it.
00:19It really is pushing the boundaries of fashion.
00:22She's badass and flirty at the same time.
00:25This is special.
00:26You have done something that a lot of people cannot do.
00:31And that is to shut me up.
00:33With designers that will stop at nothing to win.
00:36You're the most untalented designer.
00:41Done.
00:42Shut up.
00:42Oh shit.
00:43We're in fashion, supposed to be competitive.
00:45I'm gonna fight to be here.
00:46She is drama.
00:48It's gonna be cutthroat.
00:50Judges who aren't afraid to be brutally honest.
00:52No one would wear that outfit.
00:54The dress was a complete mess.
00:57Is that inspiring?
00:58I don't know how to handle this.
01:00Ugh!
01:00I'm not gonna do.
01:01I do not come to look at a bunch of ugly clothes.
01:04This is unwearable.
01:05This is so weird.
01:06It's a new house with new rules.
01:09Alright designers, that's time.
01:11You are still sewing?
01:12Mmm.
01:13I wanna go home.
01:14Are you nuts?
01:15I want this so bad.
01:16Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
01:19Ah!
01:20I wanna be on top.
01:21In fashion, one day you're in, and the next day, you're out.
01:27For 12 designers, this is a chance of a lifetime.
01:31At stake for the winner is $200,000.
01:34Six months of representation from Agent 3 PR.
01:38A spread in Elle magazine.
01:40And a life-changing mentorship with the CFDA.
01:43This is Project Runway.
01:45Oh, shit.
01:49Whoa!
01:51Let me spell it all W-O-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W!
01:54Let me spell it all W-O-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W.
02:07a.k.a. The Joseph McCray Show.
02:09Ooh!
02:10Listen, it's Joseph McCray. It's one word.
02:12Do not break it up.
02:14First and last together.
02:15And that's it.
02:19Uh-oh.
02:20Hola!
02:21You got a designer and a model.
02:23I'm a tall bitch.
02:32Hey, Ziva. How are you? I'm Joseph McCray.
02:34I'm Ethan, but you may recognize me
02:36as Utica from RuPaul's Dry Grace.
02:38You think I can eat that?
02:39Yeah, you can cue on it.
02:41Girl, this is crystals.
02:42Oh, we got another one.
02:44Hey, Ziva.
02:45How are you?
02:46Hola.
02:47Ethan, nice to meet you. Vijay.
02:48I'm Joseph McCray.
02:49Hi, Joseph.
02:50Nice to meet you.
02:51No, no, no. You got to say that first and then.
02:52Hi.
02:53Hold on. Vijay is Joseph McCray.
02:55Okay, Joseph, right?
02:56Joseph McCray.
02:57Joseph Mac...
02:58McCray.
02:59McCray.
03:00Don't even split it.
03:01Okay, Joseph McCray.
03:02Boom. Easy, right?
03:04Hola!
03:05Hola.
03:06Hola.
03:07Hi.

03:11Madeline, pleasure.
03:12Hey.
03:13Hola.
03:14Hi.
03:15Bitches, I am back.
03:17Jesus, nice to meet you.
03:18I'm Jesus Estrada from Project Runway Season 7.
03:22I'm so excited.
03:24Jesus, 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.
03:54Nice to meet you, Joan.
03:55Hey guys.
03:56Hey.
03:57What's up?
03:58Hi.
03:59My name is Yuchen.
04:00Hi.
04:01My name is Casey Black.
04:04I was on Season 19 of Project Runway and I left on Episode 1.
04:12I'm like cry laughing.
04:14Casey, you are out.
04:16Being 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.
04:26Hi.
04:27Hi.
04:28Hi.
04:29Hi.
04:30Hi.
04:32Honey, you look like you're ready.
04:34I mean, born ready, baby.
04:35Yes.
04:36Oh shit, bitch.
04:37Are you guys ready?
04:38To double the travel?
04:42Is that my twin brother?
04:46No, no, no, no.
04:48There's another one.
04:51This shot is a not country plan.
04:53Let them meet the winner.
04:55Wait, this one's my side, no?
04:59They want me here, though.
05:01You want to tell them that you want this side?
05:02Yeah, that's my side.
05:04Is that going to be a fight?
05:06Hi, I'm Antonio Estrada.
05:07I'm the winner of Project Runway season 21,
05:09and this is the first runner-up.
05:11No, I'm kidding.
05:13We'll see you on season seven.
05:14No, this is his first time.
05:16I waited 15 years.
05:17We're here.
05:18Yes.
05:19There you go.
05:21And I always knew I wanted to do fashion.
05:23It was my dream to be on Project Runway, not my brother.
05:26I said my brother went in before me, so.
05:28But I never felt like I was living in his shadow.
05:32I'm talented.
05:33I'm excited to showcase my own creations.
05:36It's going to be my own vision, my own style,
05:38outside of my brother.
05:39And I'm here to win.
05:40Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
05:41We're done.
05:42We're done.
05:43We're done.
05:43Yeah, 12.
05:46There you go.
05:53Welcome home, Mama.
05:54Yes.
05:55Yes.
05:56Yes.
05:57Designers, welcome to Project Runway.
05:59I can't believe I'm saying this again.
06:01This is so exciting.
06:02I'm your host, Heidi Klum.
06:0421.
06:06Yes.
06:07This is truly a magical place where dreams do come true.
06:11And no one knows this more than the world-renowned designer
06:14and icon next to me, Christian Siriano.
06:18Yes.
06:23I'm good.
06:25So you want to know your first challenge?
06:26Absolutely.
06:28OK, if you ask any designer where they first fell in love
06:31with fashion, I think one answer comes up more than any other.
06:35The Disney princess.
06:40The princesses have inspired so many designers for decades.
06:43And as you know, behind every powerful princess,
06:47there's something lurking.
06:48Ooh.
06:51The Disney villain.
06:52Yes.
06:54Not only were they scary, but they were fabulously evil.
06:58Aw.
06:59OK, designers, we're in a new home with new rules.
07:03So for your first challenge, you will be forming fashion houses.
07:07Woo.
07:08Heidi, what are you doing to us?
07:11One house will be House of Princess, while the other will be the House of Villains.
07:17Mwah.
07:18I know.
07:19Please stand on the side that your work is on.
07:22Right here.
07:22Right here.
07:23Oh, my God.
07:24Your house is the House of Princess.
07:26OK.
07:27OK.
07:28All black.
07:29Yeah, me neither.
07:30That makes you House of Villains.
07:32Each house must create a cohesive collection.
07:35Mm.
07:36That C word.
07:37For the very first runway show at the Enchanted United Palace.
07:42Ooh.
07:43Ooh.
07:44You only have one day to create this look.
07:48Ooh.
07:49You guys have 45 minutes to brainstorm, to sketch, and then you run off to Mood to get your fabric.
07:55Woo.
07:56Oh, God.
07:57Do you believe that?
07:58I'm so happy to be here, and I can't believe I'm saying this again.
08:01You're on the runway.
08:02Yes.
08:03Yes.
08:04Yes.
08:05Mwah.
08:06Love you, Heidi.
08:08It's happening.
08:10I am having a moment of PTSD because my first challenge in season 19 was a group challenge,
08:19and now I'm in season 21, and it's also a group challenge.
08:23I'm getting hives.
08:25I'm sweating.
08:26I'm, like, having panic attacks.
08:29I cannot be eliminated first.
08:32Not again.
08:33Ah!
08:36Okay.
08:37Here 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
08:46going to have going on so we can bring these princess looks to life.
08:49It is game on.
08:51Let's go.
08:52What's that one thing that can thread all the collection?
08:55I think it's going to come down to the fabric selection.
08:57Fabric.
08:58I definitely got inspired by Ursula, and since I have a delicious, curvaceous girl
09:05as a model, I want to do a powerful suit, fit it all the way below the knee, and then
09:10it's going to go out.
09:11I want to make sure her body looks, like, snatched.
09:14I think a villain has a good cape.
09:17Yeah.
09:18And if I can switch up the idea of having a cape, would we like that?
09:21Yes.
09:22Yes.
09:23I grew up on a farm.
09:24When I created Utica, it was a conduit for my queer artistic energy.
09:29Because back on the farm, I am the gay community.
09:32I'm the mayor of Queerville.
09:34I mostly do these one-of-a-kind bespoke pieces for my community, but not everybody wants
09:41to ready-to-wear drag outfit.
09:43So, I'm worried about that.
09:45It could get too costumey if I don't do it right.
09:49Oh.
09:50It has to be cohesive.
09:51So, we should think of a theme, like a color palette.
09:52Yeah.
09:53I work with my brother 24-7, so if I can win this for myself, it's proving myself.
10:02I'm excited to intimidate the other designers, and I'm excited to intimidate my brother.
10:07The color palette's great.
10:08Yeah.
10:09The fabric that I brought from home, it's literally that fabric, the butterfly, but
10:13it's in pink and it has orange-y tones.
10:18The butterflies are blue, so let's have the inspiration of our collection be butterfly.
10:25Butterfly.
10:26Butterfly, yes.
10:27Cool.
10:28Yes.
10:29Okay.
10:30Butterfly fabric is not going on my design.
10:33I'm really sorry.
10:34I don't know if it's Giving Princess.
10:36It's just not my style.
10:38So, show me how you do it.
10:40My name is Madeline.
10:41My design point of view is inspired by historical fashion.
10:45I like collars.
10:46I like poofy sleeves.
10:48I like pants.
10:51I got to see this fabric, because if it doesn't speak to me, I'm not using it.
10:55That's fine.
10:56It's crazy.
10:57We're agreeing to this fabric that we've never seen.
11:00All right, guys.
11:01Here we go.
11:02What do you think?
11:04I am not feeling it.
11:08My name is Joan Madison.
11:10I'm years old.
11:13I'm a seasoned designer.
11:14I've worked in the garment industry.
11:16I've owned and operated my own bridal shop for the last 20 years.
11:20So, this is my time, and I'm not here to use basic butterfly fabric.
11:25You know, I'm here to show them who's the queen.
11:28I feel like I want brighter.
11:29I want brighter, too.
11:30Yeah.
11:31Yeah.
11:32Antonio's butterfly fabric, it was pretty cool to me.
11:35But I already knew that I was going to do what I wanted to do anyway, so.
11:39Are you going to pull something from here?
11:43I don't even know.
11:44For me, the butterflies reprincess.
11:47But if they don't yet, they're crazy.
11:49All right, designers, $600 each, 45 minutes to shop.
11:59Okay, go.
12:02Joseph McCray.
12:03Joseph McCray, you got to say the first with the last.
12:05Joseph McCray, you got to say the first with the last.
12:07No, this is too purple.
12:14Everybody's using this print.
12:15No, I'm the only one.
12:16But they all make sense.
12:18We got sequin.
12:19We have velvet.
12:20We've got your print.
12:21We have tulle.
12:22Our team had a plan coming into this.
12:24But now we're running around the store.
12:27Chicken with his head cut off.
12:28I'm like.
12:29And now we've got tweed.
12:31I don't know what's happening.
12:32Patricia, this is 2025, baby.
12:34Okay.
12:35Listen, I work in 2025.
12:37I'm doing okay.
12:39Come, come, come, come.
12:40Villain team, can I please have you and beat it, please?
12:43We have to have a meeting right now.
12:44I played this game before, and I think at this point,
12:47I know what it takes, and if someone has to take control,
12:50I think that person's going to be me.
12:52Great idea.
12:53Let's meet and make sure it makes sense together.
12:56I need to get lining, so I'll be back, okay?
12:59Lining?
13:00Lining.
13:01Okay.
13:02Yeah.
13:03Okay.
13:04Vijay is in her own bubble.
13:05She needs to be a team player.
13:07I don't know.
13:08My team is going everywhere, so I haven't been able to get them here.
13:11No meeting.
13:12Hope it looks good.
13:17Fiddling, fiddling.
13:18Here we go.
13:21Did I cut enough?
13:22Can we sing Disney songs?
13:24It's a good thing that's not her day job.
13:37That fabric is gorgeous.
13:40Take it, take off the file.
13:41Yeah, right?
13:42Don't you think?
13:43Yeah.
13:44That's gorgeous.
13:45I know, I think so too.
13:46In season 19, I had a lot of ideas.
13:49It was really hard for me to edit down.
13:52And I lost track of time.
13:53I don't want that to happen again.
13:55So this challenge, I just think Sleeping Beauty and tulle ball gown.
14:00I'm going to play with layers of tulle that I'm pan fleeting.
14:04Casey, I remember her from season 19.
14:08Her aesthetic is very loud.
14:14And yeah, it's pretty.
14:16Welcome to Project Runway season 21.
14:22My name is Vijay Floresca.
14:24Aside from being a fashion designer,
14:26I used to be a beauty queen.
14:31Here's my pageant wave.
14:35I was second runner up in Project Runway Philippines season 1.
14:39And first runner up in Dress My Tour.
14:42Being in those competitions will help me to finally win.
14:45this competition.
14:46No more runner ups, but to win the competition.
14:51How's it going, Diva?
14:53This one.
14:54This one.
14:55I 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.
15:12I know that I'm prizes.
15:13Yeah, I can't even hide it.
15:14But I know what you want.
15:15I know you like it.
15:16Let's do it.
15:17Woo!
15:18Let's get this party.
15:19Party!
15:20Get back to work.
15:21Color palettes coming together.
15:22Yeah.
15:23And that transition couldn't be any more perfect.
15:24I'm feeling like my team is a winning team.
15:27And I guess you can call me the team leader.
15:28Just because they actually fell in love with the fabric that I wanted to use for this challenge.
15:32But you know, I'm a Turner Strata.
15:33I can make anyone fall in love with anything.
15:34I think we're doing it, you guys.
15:35I think we're doing it, you guys.
15:36House of Princess.
15:37It's a lot of pink.
15:38It's a lot of ruffles.
15:39And there's some butterflies in there.
15:40It's not my flavor.
15:41I'm glad I'm not on team Princess.
15:43Yeah, I hate it as well.
15:44And you know that you've got a crackle, and it's just a bit of a crackle.
15:45And I'm feeling like my team is a winning team.
15:47And I guess you can call me the team leader.
15:49Just because they actually fell in love with the fabric that I wanted to use for this challenge.
15:51But you know, I'm a Turner Strata.
15:52I can make anyone fall in love with anything.
15:53I think we're doing it, you guys.
15:54I think we're going to do it.
15:55I think we're doing it, you guys.
15:56House of Princess.
15:57It's a lot of pink.
15:58It's not my flavor.
15:59I'm glad I'm not on Team Princess.
16:03Yeah, I hate it as well.
16:08Hey, BJ, how you doing?
16:11Huh?
16:12I think there's some people in my team
16:14that are not being team players.
16:16BJ's energy is very standoffish.
16:19It's a bit cheap.
16:20Why you don't have a machine?
16:22Where's your machine?
16:23Girl, these are all of our machines.
16:24No, I mean, like, that was the one that I'm using.
16:26Okay, well, I can use it too.
16:28Which one is the one that you were using?
16:29I'm using all of them because we're all using all of them.
16:31I'm almost done.
16:32So you don't have, like, one of them?
16:33No, like, everybody's using all of them.
16:35Come on, girl.
16:38You just decide to be lazy and not thread your own machine.
16:42This girl, the fight for the machine begins.
16:46Girl, relax.
16:47Like, you don't own the machines.
16:49You're using black thread, honey?
16:51I am as well, so...
16:53Bitch, better not start.
16:55I don't like that shit.
16:56This is a competition.
16:57We're not here to meet friends.
16:59We're here to win this.
17:00And I think maybe Jesus wants to distract me.
17:03I'm not gonna give him that power.
17:05I'm just gonna ignore it.
17:07So this is my villain-in-law.
17:08Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:10You don't want to be in our bed tight, you know, bitch?
17:17Hello.
17:19First day!
17:20How are you?
17:21Hey!
17:22There's a lot going on in here.
17:23Yes, it is.
17:28Casey.
17:28Yes.
17:29Hi.
17:29Hi!
17:30We meet again.
17:30I know.
17:31I already need a martini.
17:32All right.
17:34What's happening?
17:35She'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.
17:45Okay.
17:46Maybe this tool is in here and it's more of a tool overlay somewhere.
17:50The proportions and the fit will be important here.
17:54Yeah.
17:55The waist.
17:56Okay.
17:57For sure.
17:58There's just so many things you could do to make this feel really cool and interesting.
18:00Oh, no.
18:01I 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.
18:09I think it's going to be gorgeous.
18:10Okay.
18:11Good luck.
18:13Wow.
18:14This is a little number, the Joseph McCray Puffer.
18:19Beautiful shape.
18:20I like to play with shape a lot.
18:22I have a degree in electrical engineering.
18:23I think the engineering has very heavily influenced my design aesthetic.
18:27And you look at the structure and you look at the like silhouettes.
18:30So I'm going to create a mean puppet jacket, along with a wrap satin skirt in this midnight
18:36periwinkle, upholstery fabric.
18:39People may not directly relate it to a princess, but listen, every princess need a jacket.
18:43I'm feeling low key Tinkerbell for real, for real.
18:45Making these cohesive is still part of the challenge.
18:48Don't just make a fabulous look for you.
18:50I know you don't want to listen.
18:52This is a skin situation, but...
18:54Wait, that's all out?
18:56No, it's not.
18:57Wait.
18:58Wait.
18:59This is Disney.
19:00I know.
19:01I know.
19:02I know.
19:03Where are my pearls?
19:04Antonio, what is happening over here?
19:11So what I'm going to do is I'm going to do this bubble dress laced up in the back.
19:14And then I want to do a coat over it with these two different colored tools all over the coat.
19:20So it will be like a reveal.
19:22You're making kind of two dresses that you might not finish.
19:27Why can't this piece just be the moment?
19:29But this one's done already.
19:30I'm just waiting for my model.
19:31It's done because literally like my intern could sew that in 30 minutes.
19:35Yeah.
19:36That's not hard.
19:37That's not hard.
19:38What?
19:39What the ?
19:41Don't lose it completely.
19:42But like what else could this be?
19:44Could it have sculpture?
19:45Could it have some other element that anyone else has?
19:48Something's got to be cohesive.
19:49Like don't you think the butterfly thing is because of you, right?
19:54Yeah.
19:55Okay.
19:56So then you got to be amazing.
19:58I won't let you down.
20:00I feel like he kind of just like slapped me in the face.
20:03He was like, my intern can make that in 30 minutes.
20:06I'm like, okay.
20:07I'm a Gemini.
20:08I don't take critiques.
20:09I take critiques very like, don't tell me what to do, but I'm going to step it up.
20:14Step me up.
20:15No.
20:19Yuchun, what is your work normally like?
20:22My work is more like very futuristic.
20:24Okay.
20:25Very agile and very avant-garde.
20:27So I think you should do that because this doesn't feel very futuristic.
20:31Okay.
20:32It doesn't feel that avant-garde.
20:33To be honest, I haven't made garments like this before.
20:36For my brand, I always like, you know, making ready to wear.
20:38It's always very futuristic, very powerful.
20:41I'm here to challenge myself.
20:43My inspiration for this look is from Taka.
20:46So I'm making this like tulle and lace dress with flowers and veins growing over and with a veil.
20:54Please don't be ugly.
20:55Okay.
20:56Thank you, Christian.
20:57Jesus.
20:58Yes.
20:59What's happening?
21:00I'm basically doing a powerful coat dress.
21:02All right.
21:03I also have another dress underneath.
21:05Right.
21:06So I think the challenge for you is how to make this feel more fashion, like something forward-thinking.
21:13I know in my head how the final product's going to look and I think it's elegant.
21:18Now it's about how to make this feel like really modern, you know?
21:22Yeah.
21:23Yeah.
21:24Okay.
21:25I would love a tour of the brain.
21:27Well, we know that a villain loves a cape.
21:31I'm doing my version of a cape where the cape is going to connect to the top of the head.
21:37Love it.
21:38And then clean, simple, classic underneath.
21:41Mm-hmm.
21:42So this is a pant and a top.
21:44Yep.
21:45Pant and a top.
21:46Then the twist.
21:47Oh, I love a twist.
21:48I will pattern in a curved glove pattern.
21:51I don't think they want it to feel too costum-y.
21:54So I do think that that is important with your look because you have such a dramatic moment.
22:02Try not to get in my head about it.
22:04I'm used to grand drag on the stage.
22:08So I am trying to edit.
22:10How's the team going?
22:12We've got some independent creatures on our team.
22:14We do, of course.
22:15Of course.
22:16We have a bitchy one in here.
22:17You have a sassy one?
22:18Yeah.
22:19Ooh.
22:20This thing over there in the corner.
22:21Ooh.
22:22Vijay?
22:23Oh, yeah.
22:24She's what we call in the business.
22:25A .
22:26Mm-hmm.
22:27Interesting.
22:28Wow.
22:31I don't think there's a problem with being old .
22:33But when it's your own team, come on.
22:35We just have a rectangle and fabric draped on the mannequin.
22:39I don't know what, like, the vibe is.
22:41We have four more hours to finish everything.
22:43And then you will be sending your models to the Ulta Beauty Salon.
22:47And I'll see you guys in a little bit for model fittings.
22:50Don't turn into a pumpkin.
22:52Bye.
22:53Bye.
22:55We are meeting right now.
22:57I think the House of Villains didn't get enough great feedback from Christian Suriano.
23:02So I must demand a team meeting right now because I cannot go home on the first challenge.
23:07Let's step back.
23:08It doesn't look cohesive.
23:11We need to add an element.
23:12I think the cohesiveness is all about the flowers that we have.
23:15It is floral, right?
23:16You're also the only one with lace, so we have to incorporate lace somewhere.
23:21I don't have more lace at all.
23:22Well, you need to cut a little piece, so it needs to be cohesive.
23:25Have you ever made a collection?
23:27Yeah.
23:28Being cohesive is making it that it looks like it's from the same collection and same design.
23:34I know, but why lace?
23:35No one has lace.
23:36That's what I'm saying.
23:37No one has this leather.
23:38Yeah.
23:39No one has this velvet.
23:40I'm adding velvet on mine.
23:41I'm adding your flower as well.
23:43Mr. Yushin, this is a team challenge.
23:46I'm not meaning taking his lace to, like, sabotage him.
23:49I'm just trying to do the best that I can.
23:50For the red, I mean, it's beautiful, but it seems like we don't have red for any other looks.
23:54I think it's okay.
23:55Yeah.
23:56Yeah.
23:57I think if you do, like, a red top of color.
23:58I also, I'm very competitive in there.
23:59I want all black.
24:00I don't really understand why I have to devote my lace.
24:03Why he's doing this to me?
24:04Well, he's the biggest problem in the team.
24:07I'm just saying, if we want to make the collection cohesive, you're the only one with lace.
24:14Wow, Yushin, he's definitely being a little shady bitch.
24:18If you're not here to be a team player, there's going to be a problem throughout this whole competition.
24:27Today's the first runway, and I'm just so scared what's going to happen.
24:31Not myself, but for other designers.
24:35She's part of team villains, so it's just slicked back.
24:38I want something like, you know, crying, smoky.
24:40Okay, thank you.
24:41You stand right here.
24:43This is great.
24:44Look at the proportions.
24:45Look, you can't see her waist.
24:46You've got nothing.
24:47I'm not going to make her look like a pinata.
24:49But that's kind of what it looks like.
24:51Oh, my God.
24:52I'm running out of time, and then I have to do a belt for this coat dress.
24:56I didn't want to have her looking like a loofah.
24:58Silence into the world!
25:01I'm just kidding.
25:02I'm just kidding.
25:03I'm just kidding.
25:04I'm just kidding.
25:05I'm just kidding.
25:06I'm just kidding.
25:07Where's the model?
25:08Oh, my God.
25:09This is more stressful than Cinderella at the ball.
25:11You are still sewing?
25:12No, this one, like...
25:14Mmm!
25:15Steering, Heidi, in three, two...
25:17Hi, everybody!
25:18Hi!
25:19Hi!
25:20Woo!
25:21All right, designers.
25:22That's it.
25:23That's time.
25:24You are coming.
25:25Come on.
25:26Please meet our Project Runway judges.
25:27My longtime friend, editor-in-chief of Elle magazine, Nina Garcia.
25:31Woo!
25:32Serious, baby.
25:33That woman is powerful.
25:34I hope Nina Garcia sees my look, and she, like, sees me in my princess.
25:39The FDA award-winning stylist and image architect, La Roche.
25:52I'm thrilled.
25:53La Roche, incredible celebrity stylist.
25:57He'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 inspired by Disney princesses or Disney
26:31villains.
26:32Woo!
26:33Let's start the show!
26:34Woo!
26:43I feel so confident.
26:44This dress is really giving me a vibe of cool, modern.
26:49I would walk out of here with that, happy.
26:51I'm telling you, that girl is a villain.
26:55You can wear it now.
26:56It's not so costumy.
26:57I think it's beautiful.
27:01Cool and nice.
27:02Seeing my look go down the runway, I'm really happy.
27:04I'm proud of it.
27:08Just to see the scarf dragging, so it gave some kind of sense of elegance and dramatic effect.
27:15The shape of my gown looks so clean and elegant.
27:20I love the way the light hits the velvet.
27:22The collar is exciting.
27:24It gives drama.
27:25It gives drama.
27:26It does very well, too.
27:27I couldn't be more pleased that this is the first piece that the judges see for May.
27:34I am so happy.
27:37She's giving me a villain vibe.
27:40The leather is moving.
27:42The pants is well made, perfectly tailored for her.
27:46It's like I'm so speechless.
27:47Show me what your mama made.
27:49Wow.
27:50I'm pinching myself, seeing my look going down the runway.
27:53It's perfect, chic, and I feel like she looks like the villain.
27:58Mom, don't put your curse on me.
28:00I know.
28:01I know.
28:09This look is the magnum opus of my mix between grand and sophisticated.
28:15Look at the detail of the glove.
28:17It's so witchy.
28:19It'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.
28:30Yes!
28:37I feel the Joseph McCray princess gracing the space.
28:42I just cannot take my eyes off with my glove, because she is so beautiful.
28:46And I did that.
28:48Did you say a daytime princess?
28:49Daytime.
28:50You're going to lunch.
28:51I'm just kidding.
28:54I think it looks cute.
28:55I think she looks good.
28:57I feel good, actually.
28:58I just am not the kind of person to be like, oh my God.
29:02Whoever did this knows how to sew.
29:04The construction is really great.
29:07When my model walks down the runway, it's definitely giving modern Jasmine for sure.
29:13And I see emotions being provoked when she's walking, and that's what I want.
29:18So, I'm feeling confident about my look.
29:19It's a vibe.
29:21I'm feeling emotional and happy of the work.
29:24Seeing my model in my beautiful butterfly fabric
29:27that I brought from home makes me feel so nurtured,
29:30loved, and accomplished.
29:32Is that camouflage?
29:34It's like a butterfly print.
29:39She is just floating in my gown,
29:43and it's exactly the feeling I wanted.
29:46It is modern princess feeling.
29:48I love how the tool floats.
29:52It's like a little dance happening on the fabric.
29:55I feel very proud.
29:59Seeing my princess slash queen's garment,
30:02I think she definitely owned the space.
30:06I knew that it was over.
30:11Designers, congratulations.
30:13That was a very special first show.
30:15Well done.
30:17Now we have to see which house has a fairytale ending
30:21and which one just ends.
30:23My heart is racing, and I love my look.
30:26I'm sure the judges want to see more of me.
30:28I mean, what is there not to love of Antonio, right?
30:31But you never know.
30:32It's anyone's game.
30:39Welcome to your home away from home, The Runway.
30:42Amazing.
30:43This was a great first challenge.
30:47And applause to all of you guys,
30:49because really everyone did a great job.
30:52But we're going to start nitpicking now.
30:54Yeah.
30:56We have scored your designs,
30:58and only one house has risen to the top.
31:01The best look will come from the winning house,
31:03while the eliminated designer will come from the losing house.
31:09The winning house for this challenge is...
31:14House of Villains.
31:16This team was a hard one to work with.
31:22But we won.
31:23We won.
31:24We won.
31:25Unfortunately, that means House of Princes.
31:30You are the losing house.
31:32You can leave the runway.
31:33We'll talk to you later.
31:36Oh, my God.
31:37I didn't think I belong here.
31:42I am shocked.
31:44What just happened?
31:46This feels horrible.
31:51So, congratulations.
31:52You guys are winning a house.
31:54Your 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.
32:08All right.
32:09Let's talk to the top three of our favorite looks.
32:14Ethan.
32:16Ta-da!
32:18We also love Yuchin.
32:23And we had a little bit of a debate over the third spot.
32:29It is Jesus.
32:32Yes.
32:34Alex.
32:35Angelo.
32:36BJ.
32:37You're safe.
32:38And 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.
32:49You 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 right now.
33:02And she looks beautiful.
33:03I would wear this, too.
33:04It's gorgeous.
33:05I really like your dress.
33:07It's young.
33:08It's sexy.
33:09It's gothic.
33:10It's evil.
33:11I can definitely see Jenna Ortega in this dress at a premiere of Wednesday Addams.
33:16A slight change.
33:17I would have switched the styling with the boots, but 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, but 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.
33:37Just say.
33:38I'm versatile.
33:39All right.
33:40Oh, me too.
33:44Ethan, we're going to talk to you next.
33:46Hello, distinguished panel of judges.
33:48Okay.
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.
34:07The 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 seam that I wish I didn't see.
34:16And a little bit of the hem is puckering.
34:19But you did such a beautiful job.
34:20Bravo, my love.
34:21It's giving me villain, but it's not giving me costume.
34:24I feel like if you don't have this cape on, you wear this jumpsuit underneath.
34:28It's like modern.
34:29It's cool.
34:30I would want to wear it.
34:31I love the nails.
34:32Because 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.
34:45To choose a color when everybody else stuck to black.
34:50I think that's why you're up here.
34:52It's because in a sea of black, to have this fabrication that feels really rich and really luxe was really important.
34:58For me, it was very important to make her feel sexy.
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.
35:17Oh, I hate the whole look.
35:22Aw, don't get emotional.
35:25Please.
35:26We liked it.
35:27I love how your model looks.
35:28She feels regal.
35:30We need ambitious designers.
35:32Yes.
35:33Guys, I have to disagree with everything Nina said.
35:38To 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.
35:46And one thing you have to care about is the placement of the breast.
35:51Then you could have done something to lift the breast a little bit more.
35:55If you're going to say that you want to make a curvy woman feel beautiful and powerful and all those things,
36:00then 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 that 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.
36:34Shut up.
36:35Yes.
36:36Crown me, baby.
36:37Because the queen is on top this week.
36:41Yurika won.
36:45Ethan.
36:46Ethan.
36:47Ethan.
36:48Ethan.
36:50Feels right.
36:52La Roche was rocked.
36:54I'm so shocked right now.
36:55Shocked.
36:56Shocked.
36:57Shocked.
36:58It feels like I'm not on the top even though I should be celebrating being on the top.
37:02I 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 judges have to say.
37:12All I have to do is prove him wrong.
37:15Not.
37:16What was the feedback for yours?
37:17What did they have to say?
37:18Oh good.
37:19Yeah?
37:20And does it really get some like, you know, very good advices, you know?
37:22But my advice to you is through this challenge, like, every time I would be like, oh, can we do this?
37:27You're like, no, no, no.
37:29Just, sometimes you do have, sometimes you have to listen.
37:32But girl, I have to say what I'm saying.
37:34So, remember you talking about my lace?
37:36You're saying everyone take a piece of the lace.
37:38Did I say that?
37:39Everybody take a piece of his lace?
37:41We have the camera on there.
37:42We have the camera on there.
37:43Okay, bro.
37:44It was a team challenge and that was just a request.
37:47I know.
37:48I have my own opinion.
37:49I'm a very mature designer.
37:50So, nobody needs to tell me anything unless I want to take it.
37:53Okay?
37:54You're getting really offended.
37:55Really is throwing me off.
37:57All right, all right, all right.
37:58Like seriously?
37:59Mm-hmm.
38:00You know what you're doing, girl.
38:01No.
38:02Shut up.
38:03I don't know what I'm doing.
38:04You don't know.
38:05No.
38:06You don't know.
38:07Mm-mm.
38:08Child.
38:09All right, let's bring out House of Princess.
38:17House of Princess, you made our least favorite collection.
38:20It was not cohesive.
38:22Unfortunately, there were three looks that were less Disney and more dismal.
38:29Balania, Madeline, Joan, you're safe and you can leave the runway.
38:35Thank you for my...
38:37Woo!
38:38Woo!
38:45Unfortunately, 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.
39:05Okay.
39:06Mm-mm.
39:07All right, let's bring out your models.
39:17Joseph, we're gonna start with you first.
39:18Like, I did not see the inspo.
39:21I knew that that was you, but I just don't get princess from this thing.
39:24I wish that you would have picked Elaine.
39:26You have volume, but then you have her wrapped up in this skirt that seems to be strangling her.
39:35It's a question of proportions.
39:36It's a question of proportions.
39:37You're playing with too many.
39:39I disagree.
39:40I enjoy the way you play with proportions.
39:43I like the coat.
39:44He popped that coat off and it was a sweetheart bodice dress.
39:47But it isn't.
39:48I like it.
39:49I think she looks really cool.
39:51I can see some of my clients wearing this.
39:53To me...
39:54We agreed to disagree.
39:55Yeah, we agreed to disagree.
39:58Can she turn around?
40:01Yeah.
40:02No, the back isn't great.
40:03This is not.
40:04I'm sorry.
40:05The back is a couch cushion.
40:06Okay, Antonio.
40:07If you had asked ChatGBT to help you make a John Batista Valley for $100, then that's what that look was.
40:16After Christian's critiques, I did change my look a few times.
40:20And there is another dress underneath.
40:22Is the dress still underneath or no?
40:24Yeah.
40:25Let's see it.
40:26Yeah.
40:27Well, Christian told me his intern can make that dress in 30 minutes.
40:29Blame it on everything on Christian.
40:32I just think this dress underneath an intern could make it in 30 minutes.
40:35It's a tube dress.
40:36You couldn't have shown that by itself.
40:38But, you know, why didn't you let it be open?
40:40I don't know why you put the belt on it.
40:43I didn't know you were going to cover up the butterflies completely.
40:45It's better this way.
40:47Yeah, because with that cute little mini dress under it, at least you see her body.
40:51It's charming.
40:53But this is not how we saw it.
40:54She just looked like a big loofah.
40:56When Christian was curious, I was like, don't think it's going to be a pinata.
41:00Stop blaming it on Christian.
41:01You're here now.
41:02No, we're not blaming Christian.
41:03I wrote some emails.
41:04I'm a Gemini and I don't like people telling me what to do.
41:08And I was like, you're an adult.
41:10You're going to listen to Christian.
41:11He's here for a reason.
41:12He's your mentor.
41:13And I did listen to him.
41:14And that's why I changed my look three times.
41:15And, you know, you pushed me to be better.
41:18The inspo of the butterfly comes from which princess?
41:22Which princess?
41:23I mean, every princess.
41:25Antonio, but you're being so defensive.
41:28No, I'm not.
41:29We're just trying to understand your work.
41:30You are.
41:31I'm trying to explain myself.
41:32I'm sorry.
41:33Right.
41:34But I don't think there's any reason to be defensive.
41:35No, I'm not being defensive at all.
41:36I'm just explaining myself.
41:37Sorry about coming out.
41:38No, I think Nina's right to call that out.
41:40I think you are being defensive and also a little bit rude.
41:44It's okay to be criticized and to be-
41:47I'm taking the criticism.
41:48And to be, you know, let down by the criticism, but to kind of like throw it back.
41:54Your response has really been really quite nasty.
41:57I'm just letting you know.
41:58Okay.
41:59One girl to another.
42:00Maybe it's my Latina side.
42:01Maybe.
42:06Next.
42:07Casey, let's talk about your look.
42:10I really love this Jacquard.
42:13And I wish that all this other stuff would disappear.
42:17I don't know.
42:18To me, it looks like a nightgown.
42:20You know, it's very lackluster in terms of like shape and everything.
42:24And what you then wrapped around to me looks like an afterthought.
42:28Can she turn around?
42:29Yes.
42:30The ribbon is what I hate it.
42:31Yeah.
42:32A hundred percent.
42:34I want to see like more design.
42:36Is that inspiring?
42:37I love the deep plunge.
42:39I just think it was a miss because you had everything to make something so beautiful and so fairytale-like.
42:46And you kind of missed it.
42:49I hear you.
42:50All right, designers.
42:51We have to make a decision.
42:52You can leave the runway.
42:59This is so much fun.
43:01I love this, y'all.
43:02You're good.
43:03Yeah, I can tell.
43:05But I don't know if they're going to make it out alive at the end.
43:09Ah, you see what's happening?
43:12You're good.
43:13You're good, but you know what...
43:15I'm still running a drive, so I hate that.
43:17I hate that.
43:19I guess we can all agree that Joseph is not going home, right?
43:23There's so much going on, but the color was really beautiful.
43:27The combination of fabrics were very wonderful.
43:31He's like, I'm making what I make.
43:33Couches.
43:34Casey, Nina, what did you think?
43:36The dress was a complete mess.
43:38It was horrible.
43:39And boring, too.
43:41It literally, like, she took a staple gun.
43:43It was just like...
43:43No, it was awful.
43:44I'm an adult, and I'm going to take criticism about bitch.
43:46When you're putting words in my mouth, like...
43:48Antonio, blah, what were your thoughts?
43:50That dress, when he opened it up, was really cute.
43:53Like 30 minutes to make that dress.
43:55Yeah, but the coat made...
43:56I like that it was a coat.
43:57I know, but what if he didn't have that coat?
43:59Yeah.
43:59No, he needed that kind of...
44:01He's like, whoa, your attitude, I'm like, oh, bitch.
44:04That attitude is so bad.
44:07Then he said, it's probably just the Latina in me.
44:10Girl.
44:10I was like, yeah, all right.
44:13That's not an excuse.
44:14So with my Nina, baby.
44:15Yeah.
44:15You could be very talented, but if you have a bad attitude and you can't work with others
44:21in this industry, we have seen it.
44:25Bad attitude is a problem.
44:28I'm so proud of myself.
44:31It's just very emotional, you know, and intense.
44:35Like, it's just intense.
44:38I just feel like I'm in shock a bit.
44:40Right now, like, um, I actually really loved my dress.
44:45Being in this position again.
44:47Never thought I'd be in the bottom three.
44:48At this stage of the competition again, like, after being eliminated on episode one of another
44:53season, like, it just feels like a bad joke.
44:56I don't want to go home.
44:57I don't want to go home.
45:27It's going to be worse.
