00:00Previously on Project Runway Canada
00:03I'm going to switch things up
00:06Meet your new models
00:08Create an outfit for a divorcee
00:10Using their wedding dresses
00:12Are you just altering the dress you already had?
00:14Yeah, I'm not using the top
00:16There's nothing sexy about what's happening here
00:18There's no way I can make anything with this fabric I have
00:23It's a bit of a mess, I mean
00:25It's just not executed properly
00:27Jeff, you're safe
00:29May I say one more thing?
00:30Yes, Kim
00:31Like I figured that Jeff would be in the bottom two
00:33He took the original dress and hemmed it
00:35I disagree
00:36And the games begin
00:38Congratulations, Sunny
00:40Kim, you have one more chance
00:43And I mean it
00:45Baila, you just don't measure up
00:49The finalists of Project Runway Canada
00:52Will show at Toronto Fashion Week
00:54And the winner will receive
00:56A cover and a feature spread in Elle Canada magazine

01:27Fourteen designers
01:28There are 15 designers, but only one can win.
01:44Tempers will flare, hemlines will fly.
01:48Time for the show designers.
02:05Because fashion isn't always pretty.
02:08I'm bummed out of it, because Baylor's gone.
02:22Baylor's my buddy, so seeing him leave is sort of hard.
02:30It didn't matter that I won. What mattered was who lost.
02:34And it shouldn't have been Baylor.
02:38I don't think the judges made the right decision.
02:42No.
02:44Jeff should have gone home.
02:48Things have just sort of shifted in the game.
02:51I'm starting to feel ganged up on.
02:54I'm getting really sick of Kim lashing out.
02:59You're one lucky guy, hey? There, Jeff.
03:02Oh, it's starting already.
03:03Yeah.
03:04You hem a dress, and you take in the scenes,
03:06and you make a jacket into a short-sleeved shirt.
03:09Mm-hmm.
03:10And you claim safety.
03:12Like, I'm pissed.
03:13I'm not playing this game anymore.
03:16It's tense with Jeff and I.
03:19Yeah, it's like a little bit of a whiner.
03:20Hello, designers.
03:21Hello.
03:22Let's bring out the models.
03:23Remember, this is a competition for the models as well.
03:26The model, paired with the winning designer,
03:28will get the cover and inside spread in Air Canada magazine.
03:29The model, paired with the winning designer,
03:30will get the cover and inside spread in Air Canada magazine.
03:31In the last challenge, we didn't use our models.
03:32That means today, we're going to be able to get the cover and inside spread in Air Canada magazine.
03:33The model, paired with the winning designer, will get the cover and inside spread in Air Canada magazine.
03:39Remember, this is a competition for the models as well.
03:48The model, paired with the winning designer, will get the cover and inside spread in Air Canada magazine.
03:55In the last challenge, we didn't use our models.
03:59That means today, two models will be out.
04:03Sunny, you were the winner of last challenge, so you get to choose your model first.
04:12Who would you like to work with?
04:15Gabrielle, you're gorgeous, but I'm going to stick with Tori.
04:19Tori, congratulations, you're still in.
04:21You can leave the runway.
04:23Now, for the rest of you designers, I will pull your name from the button bag.
04:29Genevieve.
04:32Genevieve.
04:34I think I'll choose Stephanie.
04:36Stephanie, you may leave the runway.
04:39Next, Jason.
04:41I have to stick with it, actually.
04:43Congratulations, you may leave the runway.
04:46Next name, Jessica.
04:49Yes!
04:50Who do you want to work with?
04:54Alyssa.
04:56I got Alyssa, my name got called before Jeff's, snuck in there, sneak attack.
05:00Let's see who's coming up next.
05:03Jeff.
05:05Who would you like to work with?
05:07I think I would like to work with Gabrielle.
05:11Congratulations, Gabrielle. You may leave the runway.
05:13Was she yours?
05:15Yeah.
05:19So f***ed.
05:23Jeff took my model.
05:25And I just knew he was going to pick Gabrielle.
05:28I knew he would, because that's just the way it's going around here.
05:30Next name.
05:34Other Jackie.
05:36I'll stick with Jasmine.
05:38Congratulations, you may leave the runway.
05:40Last again.
05:41Kim, it's all up to you.
05:46We have Elise, Ramada, and Cathy.
05:51The two models you don't choose will be out.
05:56Who would you like to work with?
06:00I'm going to go with Ramada.
06:03Yeah, I had my eye on you for a while, so.
06:06Congratulations, Ramada.
06:07You may leave the runway.
06:08You may leave the runway.
06:11I'm sorry, Elise and Cathy.
06:13That means you're out.
06:15Thank you so much.
06:21Okay, designers.
06:23We're getting near the end of the competition.
06:25So this challenge is the last time the winner will have immunity.
06:31But for this next challenge, you will be all winners.
06:37Wait a minute.
06:38Wait a minute.
06:39And that's where you will go now and meet Brian.
06:43Ciao.
06:44Ciao. Bye.
06:45I love winners because you get to scavenge through things and sometimes you can find like really awesome stuff.
06:59Hello, designers.
07:00Welcome to winners.
07:02Hello, Brian.
07:03Meet Shannon Johnson, manager of public relations for winners.
07:07Hello, designers.
07:08Welcome to the runway at winners.
07:10This department features premier designer collections and the hottest contemporary lines from runways around the world.
07:16The winners customer is savvy, she's fashionable, and she understands incredible value.
07:20Come spring, she's going to be looking for that special item, the perfect spring dress.
07:24This spring dress is key because you can just kind of like rock off the door at any time and just feel fabulous.
07:32Your challenge is to design that dress, the one that every winners woman is going to want to wear.
07:37It needs to be versatile, flattering, and take her from day to night.
07:41The most amazing part to this challenge is that the winners customer will actually have the chance to wear your design.
07:48The winning design will be manufactured and sold at the runway at winners department in select stores across Canada.
07:54Wow.
07:57It's the most amazing prize that we've had so far. I mean, I am so excited.
08:03It's a massive prize that's national exposure. It's a big stepping stone in anybody's career.
08:09Designers, this is an incredible opportunity. This will be the very first time that winners has taken an original design and put it into production.
08:18Designers, let's go to Rockland Textiles and shop for fabric.
08:22This is a one-day challenge. You will have 30 minutes to shop and a budget of $100.
08:38It's a nice one.
08:44Challenge six and homegirl is still in the game.
08:48I don't know if I thought I would make it this far. I guess I've got a bag of tricks that I didn't realize I had.
08:53It's about 60 inches. Hmm. Just maybe two. This would be okay.
08:58I decided to go for a really crisp green jersey knit and decided to do like a very drapey sort of dress.
09:05I feel good about it and I'm going to run with it.
09:07So can I just get two of that? Thanks. I have a different sense of style than some people.
09:14It's a little bit more creative. Actually, let's just get four of that.
09:18Okay. Thanks.
09:19I'm going to just try and do something a little more classy, drapey, sort of empire waist top. So a really nice fitted silhouette.
09:27Remember designers, it is day wear into evening.
09:31And you Sonny, how's it going? I wasn't sure if I was going to do blues or purples. I realized that I had to come up with something fast.
09:42Can I do something more visible? Is that a possibility?
09:45You have to do what you really feel good about doing. I totally feel good about this.
09:49Hmm. I would concentrate on one look.
09:54But you know what? If you can do it. I can do it.
09:57If you can do it and you can pull it off on the runway.
09:59It's already up here. We're final seven at this point, so I knew I needed to try to separate myself a little bit, stand out a little bit.
10:05You know, putting the seams on the outside as opposed to the inside and sewing them down.
10:10It's just time to push it. It's just time to push it.
10:13I don't really particularly love Jeff. Nothing he does is current. I think he's a little bit of a weirdo.
10:21My focus right away of design was finding something that could either like detach from a piece so that it would look daytime and then you could like add like snap on like a train.
10:35And I also have like an emerald greeny silk, shiny silk charmeuse.
10:40I see satin in your hands, which is just setting up for a nightmare.
10:44Right. Okay.
10:46Satin's hard to do.
10:48Yeah.
10:49But you know, the other hint of that is that they look really fantastic if they're done right.
10:54That's perfect.
10:56You have five minutes.
10:59Hurry up, hurry up.
11:02I'm right behind you.
11:04Right here.
11:06Time's up.
11:08Thanks, ladies.
11:09Hi.
11:10Next on Project Runway Canada.
11:14Started getting a little bit crazy in the studio.
11:16Pimp it out.
11:17Jeff was flipping out a little bit.
11:18This is absolutely ridiculous.
11:21Desperate times call for desperate measures.
11:23Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.
11:24Oh, why did I buy Jersey?
11:40The challenge is to create a dress that can take a woman from daytime to evening for spring 09.
11:48Winners was going to take it and produce it.
11:50I don't think the Winners client like super fitted.
11:52Everything kind of looked bigger.
11:54Yeah.
11:55My garment is kind of like a mod silhouette.
11:59You can't hoard all the yellow.
12:01I can't. Why not?
12:02No, because I need it.
12:03Bring them back, Kimmy.
12:04It's almost impossible to have a day to night dress.
12:07So in my mind, playing off a simple little black dress is kind of the way to go.
12:12Especially after my last bomb, I got my one more chance to really, really show up as Kim the designer, who I know I am.
12:19This pressure and stress is crazy.
12:23And it started getting a little bit crazy in the studio.
12:26You know, it just starts with someone saying something silly and it's the funniest thing you've ever heard in your whole life.
12:31Oh, that's hilarious. I'm totally gonna rock this.
12:33I'm gonna wear this back for the rest of the challenge.
12:38You and Jason beside each other look really good.
12:44Pimp it, pimp it, pimp it out.
12:47Pimp it out as the Lord would want you to.
12:49Observing Jeff's work is sort of like Groundhog Day. He just does the same thing every day. He makes a knee length, matronly darted dress. So I was bored watching him.
13:07Did Kim say anything to Jeff?
13:12She's been being nice. I'm catching side glances between her and Jonathan the entire time.
13:17Like any time Jeff says anything, she'd like, look at it.
13:20Really?
13:21I'm just like, ugh.
13:22So immature.
13:24It is what it is. I mean, it's just being...
13:26It's a competition.
13:27It's a competition.
13:28I know it's a competition, but like hot damn, you know?
13:36Thoughts?
13:37Like?
13:38Is it country?
13:39Country.
13:40Country bumpkin?
13:41Rockstar.
13:42That's cool.
13:44Are you gonna pleat that whole piece of fabric?
13:46Yeah.
13:48Okay, I'll leave you alone.
13:50It's three o'clock.
13:52We've only been working on the challenge for a little while now and I've already hit a snag.
13:55Um, I wanted to make the entire top of the dress pleated.
13:59Then once I was done all the pleating, I realized it was a much smaller piece of fabric than I actually needed.
14:05Ah, f***ing f***ing.
14:08Sweet.
14:09No, it's so sweet.
14:10What was that about?
14:11Because it's not big enough now.
14:13It's even smaller than when I had planned it all out.
14:16I just didn't plan it well enough and you're supposed to measure twice.
14:19Cut once and I sort of just cut.
14:25Hello, designers.
14:26Hello, Brian.
14:27Hi, Brian.
14:28Hi.
14:29Here are your models.
14:31You'll have one hour with them.
14:34I am really happy to have you back.
14:35I'm happy to be back.
14:37My dresses are more fun to wear than just me.
14:40Go ahead.
14:42Here we go.
14:44Cute.
14:45Because I won the past three challenges, I think the designers are piping out.
14:52Sonny's intimidating to me because he's really, really fast.
14:56Sonny's the guy to beat because he just won three in a row.
14:58So, yeah, we're keeping score.
15:00For sure.
15:02I'm starting to hate Sonny, man.
15:04Three in a row?
15:05That's ridiculous.
15:06The kid's got some skills.
15:07Ugh.
15:09I hate him for that.
15:17Yeah, I usually work for other people and their assistant or pattern maker or something like that.
15:26I'm very good at what I do, but nobody really knows who I am.
15:28I've always worked for other people.
15:30Staying in the background was fine with me, but fashion's changed and being in the background doesn't work anymore.
15:35I just want to show them that I can think out of the box instead of doing another, like, whatever dress.
15:44So, everybody, let's have a look at what you're doing.
15:47Jean-Vievre.
15:48I like these kinds of colors for spring myself.
15:50I like more muted.
15:51How do you get a woman to understand that that's day-wear into evening wear by this fabric?
15:56I think this is a perfect way to do it because you could wear this to work and then out to dinner after.
16:02It's a gorgeous-looking nighttime evening wear outfit that could limit you on the judging process.
16:09Jessica Biffy?
16:10Hi.
16:11Let me have a look at this.
16:12Was that pleated?
16:13It was, um, I was trying to do something else and then I didn't make enough of it.
16:17And then when I opened it up and put it on the duty, I liked it a lot better.
16:21Yeah.
16:22It was a mistake that turned into something good.
16:23Like the seam at the back, like the idea of it.
16:27Overdoing things like that right there can kill you.
16:30Okay.
16:31I like what's going on there, but finish it really beautiful.
16:33Okay.
16:34Because it looks really good.
16:38Jason?
16:39Hi.
16:40Sell me on this being day into evening wear.
16:41I thought it'd be a really cool idea to put snaps, which are normally on the inside and stuff, to expose them.
16:45And they're going to be put on periodically throughout the bottom, fading up.
16:49So you can do mini thigh length, knee length, mid-calf, and you can, or bunch one side, amusement.
16:54I'm exhausted.
16:55You're exhausted?
16:56Yeah.
16:58These are going to be a challenge.
17:00Your construction has to be impeccable.
17:04Oh, crap.
17:05Give me anxiety.
17:06Okay.
17:07Carry on.
17:09Jeff, how's it going?
17:10Pretty good, Brian.
17:11This is my chance to show them that it doesn't always have to be strictly classic.
17:18This is going to be a completely outside box garment.
17:21Outside the box is a good thing for you.
17:23I wanted to show Brian by making a reversible dress.
17:27I mean, you don't see that every day.
17:28So I was kind of hoping to impress him in that sense.
17:31Reversible.
17:32How's that going to pull off in the runway?
17:34I don't know, but you need to work on that.
17:36The day look is going to have hand stitching.
17:38That's why I'm quickly trying to get it done.
17:40Mm-hmm.
17:41Uh, cross stitching.
17:42I'm looking forward to seeing something really fantastic.
17:45Gotcha.
17:46Okay, designers, you have until 1 o'clock tonight to complete your dress.
17:5111 o'clock is crunch time.
17:53If you're working until 1 o'clock, you have two hours.
17:55So things are getting, like, tight.
17:57People are freaking out.
17:58Like, it's cracking point.
18:00And some people get really kind of crazy.
18:02Do you have any light brown thread that I could borrow to spin a bobbin?
18:10This?
18:11Yeah.
18:12Thanks.
18:13Does anybody have to be nice to you tomorrow?
18:15Please?
18:17Why is this up?
18:18For some reason, my skirt is smaller than my top.
18:27How's yours coming along, Jeff?
18:29I have to put all these little X's, like, little cross hatches, on all the seams.
18:34And I'm actually considered taking out a pencil crayon and just drawing on the hand sewing.
18:39I'm gonna check if I've got the right colors.
18:44That's too far, right?
18:45That's taking it too far.
18:46You have to own it if they ask you.
18:48Yeah, I know.
18:49Totally, eh?
18:50So much faster.
18:51The time frame is difficult for me.
18:53I'm used to doing a lot of hand work and doing a lot of very fine finishing.
18:57And I just don't have the opportunity to do that.
19:00I can't do that.
19:03I knew I couldn't answer the whole dress, so I ran my ass off.
19:09I was actually considering drawing on my hand stitching with a pencil crayon.
19:23Is that the new loaf?
19:24Actually, you could.
19:26Why not?
19:27**** hook it up.
19:28No one's even gonna see it, dude.
19:30But, like, if I got called on it, I'm totally ****ed.
19:34There's an hour left.
19:36So I'm considering zigzagging it really fast.
19:39None of these machines are served for zigzag.
19:42Oh, my God.
19:43I went for two machines.
19:44I had lots of time to get a zigzag, but the machines weren't cooperating.
19:47This is absolutely ****ing ridiculous.
19:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19:52I know.
19:53****ing drawing mom.
19:54This is retarded.
19:55The zigzag machines are not working.
19:56None of them are set up for zigzag.
19:57It's like...
19:58Can you try the domestics?
19:59They'll do it on their own.
20:00And I'm off it.
20:01And he's back.
20:02Woo!
20:03It's like...
20:04Jeff was flipping out a little bit.
20:05He was running back and forth between the two rooms.
20:08If you try the domestics, they'll do it on their own.
20:11And I'm off it.
20:17And he's back.
20:19Woo!
20:21Jeff was flipping out a little bit.
20:23He was running back and forth between the two rooms,
20:26and Kim did a little impression of it,
20:27which I thought was hilarious.
20:29Hey, guys. Who am I?
20:35Aww.
20:38Jeff, what do you keep forgetting, dude?
20:43It was just a time frame thing.
20:45I knew I couldn't do all the hand sewing
20:47and tried to do the zigzag
20:49and did a bunch of seams on that,
20:51and they looked awful.
20:53I was doing really bad stuff to my dress.
20:55How's it going, Jeff?
20:59I paused for probably 30 seconds
21:01and just thought, that's it. I'm done.
21:03I'm not going to even show it.
21:05Because I had no time left.
21:07But you know what? It's not over till it's over.
21:09All right, I gave it my best shot.
21:10I tried hand stitching.
21:11I tried the zigzag.
21:12So it's still not working?
21:13I'm going to draw the f***ing hand sewing on.
21:18A half an hour before the challenge ended,
21:20I was up there drawing f***ing X's on.
21:22Oh, my God.
21:24I cannot believe I'm about to do this.
21:26This is harder.
21:28Desperate times call for desperate measures.
21:36Next, on Project Runway Canada.
21:39Things are getting tense.
21:41Jason's dress is too tight on the top.
21:43There's not much space in there.
21:44Joe might be struggling a bit.
21:46I think he needs some rest.
21:48If someone else goes home,
21:49that definitely would not be cool.
21:50You lied.
22:10It's the morning of elimination,
22:11and things are getting tense,
22:13and it's getting a lot more competitive.
22:15I think Jeff might be struggling a bit.
22:19I think he's tired,
22:20and I think it shows in his garment.
22:28Good morning, designers.
22:29Gather around.
22:31You'll have to get your models together
22:33and send them down to Eddie and Eric
22:34in the L'Oreal Paris Beauty Room.
22:36They need to look gorgeous.
22:38Designers, I'm sending your models in.
22:41Good morning, ladies.
22:42That looks so fresh-faced.
22:45I'm so jealous.
22:51Woo!
22:52Perfect fit!
22:53Yay!
22:54It was the smoothest model fitting,
22:56so I feel like I've accomplished something.
22:59If nothing at all,
23:00I fit a model with a dress.
23:03Yay!
23:04I'm really happy with it.
23:06Yeah?
23:07Yeah.
23:08The dress was totally done.
23:09I threw it on her,
23:10and I was like, oh, it's perfect,
23:11which is weird,
23:12because that doesn't usually happen.
23:14Just looking around at other people's pieces
23:16in terms of the day-night situation of the challenge,
23:20I didn't feel like anyone else really nailed it the way I did.
23:24There's not much space in there.
23:26I didn't really like Jason's dress
23:28just because I thought it was too tight on the top.
23:32Jason is taking a sort of dangerous approach with his design.
23:37He's taking a little bit more evening,
23:39which that's not what he's supposed to be doing.
23:42Hello!
23:43How are you?
23:44This is the color of my dress.
23:45Okay.
23:46It's like a blue puff.
23:47Okay.
23:48Okay.
23:49But it's a fitted blue puff.
23:50Okay.
23:51You know what?
23:52Let's do it up,
23:53but really, really loose.
23:54Nice.
23:55And just very soft,
23:56very romantic.
23:57Beautiful.
23:58Hi.
23:59Hi.
24:00So we have another outfit.
24:01It's like a mod Egyptian.
24:02Yeah.
24:03My dress for winners was kind of inspired by like 60s mod.
24:05So we did kind of like a twiggy look,
24:07just with eyeliner like going up diagonal,
24:09big eyelashes, pale skin.
24:28Hello.
24:29Hello.
24:30I wanted a little bit pulled back,
24:33just a tiny bit to show that off.
24:35Just a little bit pulled off the face.
24:36And maybe some nice,
24:37huge curls,
24:38but really big ones.
24:39The lips will go with pink.
24:41We need something not too much clean and class,
24:45which is great.
24:46Greeds like a winner's ad.
24:48Oh yeah.
24:49Oh yeah.
24:57Where's the scarf box?
25:02That's...
25:03Whoa.
25:08I'm going to be the first guy in history
25:09to be eliminated from Roger 20 for drawing on stitches.
25:12What's that?
25:22Um, I had it turned in.
25:24It was a ribbon,
25:25but I bought the wrong kind.
25:26It showed up bias.
25:27So I had to take it out because it was stretching.
25:30It wouldn't stitch properly.
25:32I was just having problems like with the two materials sewn together.
25:36I could see like that it was totally like wonky and ripply.
25:41How are you going to explain day wear into evening wear?
25:48You know what?
25:49Honestly, how I would wear it in the day,
25:51I would throw on a pair of flip flops and like cute, messy bed head,
25:55and just go out like that.
25:56And I think it would look amazing.
25:59I was a little nervous for Joan Biev.
26:01At the end, I thought the dress was cute,
26:03but I thought it was like really, really evening,
26:05especially with the sequins sort of like detailing that was on there.
26:11It was beautiful.
26:18This is what it's all about.
26:20I have personally never heard of drawing stitching onto clothing.
26:26If I couldn't do the effect with a needle and thread, I wouldn't do it.
26:31Someone's going home, and if someone else goes home and not him,
26:33and he gets rewarded for something that's fake,
26:36and that we all had to do the same challenge,
26:38then, you know, that definitely would not be cool.
26:41Okay, everybody, tools down.
26:42It's time to go to the runway.
26:43Let's go right now.
26:44Hurry, hurry, hurry.
26:48Hello again, designers.
27:02Hello.
27:03What a wonderful opportunity you all had with this challenge.
27:07You were to create the perfect spring dress for the runway at Winners customer.
27:13The winning design will be sold in select winner stores across Canada.
27:19Let's meet today's judges.
27:21We have Sean Hewson, creative director of Bustle Clothing.
27:25El Canada editor-in-chief Rita Silbon.
27:28And Nicole Gouveia, merchandise manager for winners.
27:32Nicole knows great fashion and good value.
27:37Exactly what the winner's woman is looking for.
27:40So, let's start the show.
27:49My dress moves great on the runway.
27:51Sort of like a cloud.
27:55I thought the colors looked awesome when the lights hit it,
27:57and when she was moving, it actually looked more soft and elegant.
28:07When Jasmine came out, I was looking at all the puckers,
28:10and I thought, okay, this dress is puckery, but I actually like this dress,
28:14and I like the design of it.
28:20I would make it again for myself.
28:22I thought, overall, the look of my girl was, I think, the most beautiful.
28:35I thought everything was really cohesive, flowed really well.
28:40I knew there were no threads hanging, and I knew that it was hemmed properly,
28:52and I knew that it was pressed properly, so I was pretty comfortable with it.
28:55Technically, yeah, I suppose it was all drawn on,
28:58but you couldn't tell it wasn't stitching.
29:00I'm really liking how it looks. I really like how it's draped.
29:10I really like the detail on the bottom.
29:11I really like the contrast between jacket snaps on silk charme mousse.
29:15The versatility of letting the dress out to show that it could be any different type of length.
29:20I'm excited. I think it looks great.
29:25I thought Renata rocked the runway today.
29:27She was confident, and the dress fit her perfectly,
29:29and I was just happy with the whole outcome.
29:32She's a beautiful, beautiful girl, and I think she wears my clothes very well.
29:46When Alyssa came out, I thought it looked really great.
29:49I'm really proud of that dress. It fit her really well.
29:52I thought she looked beautiful. It flowed the way I wanted it to.
29:57It was awesome.
30:05There is only one of you who's safe this time.
30:11And that is...
30:15Kim.
30:16You may leave the runway.
30:19Thank you, guys.
30:25For the rest of you, let's bring out your models.
30:35Sunny, tell us about your design.
30:37It's a bias cut pleated fabric, which is cut in one piece of fabric.
30:42I did sort of three different layers of tank tops and different textures.
30:46I think the color is very fresh.
30:48I like the tank top feel to it, and it does meet the challenge,
30:52because it's a dress that you could wear daytime and into the early evening.
30:56I liked all of the layering that you see on top, but it's not too heavy and full,
31:00and the color is fabulous.
31:01The side detail there is...
31:03You know, it's cute, it's a little bit flirty, but it's a little bit past flirty, I think.
31:06I love it.
31:07I mean, I thought it's really fresh and very breezy.
31:11Very good dress.
31:13Add the jockey.
31:14I used a jersey for the knit, and I used a silk contrast.
31:19I just wanted something really clean.
31:21As an idea, this is a very, very nice dress, but I feel like you missed a little bit on the execution.
31:26It's looking a tiny bit sloppy.
31:28Like, I haven't really worked with jersey too much.
31:30I've learned a lot from the stress.
31:32Why did you choose it if you have never worked with it?
31:34I thought jersey is a good material for a woman to wear.
31:37It's a very unforgiving material also.
31:39Jessica.
31:41Jessica Rabbit.
31:42Talk to us.
31:43Spring to me says shedding a little bit of layer, so I wanted it to be something crisp and something fresh
31:49and something that brings you out of winter and into spring.
31:52It's my favorite.
31:54I love that one.
31:55It's great.
31:57Great color.
31:58Great fabric.
31:59Great movement.
32:00Just the right amount of detail.
32:01And I think it looks great the way you've offset the pleating in the opposite direction
32:05to the asymmetry going the other way with the slit on the other side and the detail of the neck.
32:10It's fantastic.
32:12It is spectacular.
32:14One criticism of it from the point of view of selling it at winners, and that is a dress like this
32:19demands a very specific kind of underpinnings, right?
32:22You can't just wear your regular bra and it's fine.
32:25It is high enough to wear like a strapless bra with or a convertible bra, and I did take that into account when I designed it.
32:30Oh, good.
32:31Touché.
32:32I wanted to do something a little more on the higher end side.
32:37These are the kind of spring tones that I prefer, more muted, not quite as Easter-y.
32:42And as far as day to evening, I think, you know, you come out of the beach, good beachy hair, flip-flops would look great, no jewelry, and then the evening look.
32:50It feels more of an evening dress to me.
32:53Mm-hmm.
32:54And I also felt that the top here, the execution wasn't as flattering the way it sort of comes up in the front.
33:00Oh, really? I thought it was very flattering.
33:01But the concept, I think, is beautiful.
33:02Oh, thanks.
33:03I like the front.
33:05I'm having a very hard time picturing it for day.
33:09Really?
33:10Would you wear that dress to the office with your flip-flops?
33:12Yeah, 100%.
33:13You would?
33:14100%.
33:15The challenge was very specific, that it goes from day to night.
33:20Because this is about a challenge.
33:22And we're saying, four of us, you didn't hit the mark.
33:24Okay.
33:25I would wear it during the day, that's all I'm saying.
33:26Sorry?
33:27I said I would wear it during the day.
33:28You would, and that's not the issue.
33:30But when you're talking about your giving a challenge that is specific about day to night, the rules change.
33:39Jeff, tell us about your design.
33:41For this challenge, I wanted to show something a little different than I had been showing as far as color palette.
33:46I wanted to be fresh.
33:48It's actually reversible.
33:49You can take it off.
33:50And all the little hand stitching that's holding on the fabric is more subtly on the underneath part.
33:56You've got a lot of handwork here and along the neckline.
34:01So, tell us a bit about that.
34:03I'm very much about the craftsmanship.
34:04So, that's generally the way I work.
34:06It's quite luxury.
34:07Those stitches, they're flat or is it like a stitch?
34:12It's just cross stitch.
34:13That's what I thought.
34:14Yeah.
34:19One thing I just want to clarify, are you saying this dress can be completely reversed?
34:22I really wanted the model to go backstage and do that for me.
34:26I think it's quite lovely.
34:27It feels like little raindrops coming down the dress.
34:28Very spring-like.
34:29Very poetic.
34:30I like it this way.
34:31I felt that the dress was a day dress and I'm not sure if it's something that would just
34:46stop somebody in their tracks walking through our store.
34:48It just didn't feel like it had the design level of what we're looking for.
34:55Okay.
34:56Okay, Jason.
34:57I always think of more vibrant colors and sun and spring summer.
35:01So, I chose a nice green.
35:03I came up with this idea of just using regular like jacket snaps because the customer can do
35:07what they want and then give their touch on their piece that they bought.
35:11I'm not getting any kind of day vibe from this dress whatsoever.
35:16You may have a problem with selling a dress like that through Winners just because it's
35:20such a body conscious silhouette.
35:22I mean, it's really fitted up at the top.
35:24The other thing also is the snaps.
35:27It was a wrong choice.
35:28Really?
35:29I like that.
35:30I like that.
35:31Well, I know you like it.
35:32Of course I know you like it.
35:33You wouldn't have done it if you didn't like it.
35:34Yeah.
35:35No.
35:38Thank you, designers.
35:39You may leave the runway.
35:41Can I tell the judges because they were so wowed by his cross-stitching that they were
35:50sewn.
35:51He never said that they were a felt pen.
35:53And they were totally wowed.
35:54The only reason his dress was saved is because it was cross-stitches.
35:57And nobody mentioned that he lied?
35:59Why'd you lie?
36:00We all...
36:01Don't lie.
36:02F'd up.
36:03Why did you do that?
36:04F'd up, dude.
36:05Your cross-stitches saved your dress.
36:07I don't wanna talk to you.
36:09to you you're just such a bitch all the time i'm just not interested in your opinion it's not an
36:12opinion you just lied like there's a possibility that someone else would go home and you lied
36:17somebody else is far more talented than you and you lied you're in your own
36:21bitching universe and you just never you're always right you're always right in your mind
36:26and i have to tell you dear you're not always right oh my god are you turning this around on
36:30me you're in the light dude they asked you like 20 different questions about it i know
36:35god maybe you should like be a man and go tell them yeah i would be a man dude
36:48okay judges genevieve what did you guys think as lovely as this dress is it is completely
36:53inappropriate for 98 of the female population wearing it to the office it's cocktail i think
36:59she was very unrealistic in terms of where the customer would wear this dress i think she just
37:04wanted to do what she wanted to do it's always wonderful when the designer defends his or her
37:09work just was a very weak defense just sass in the end jason jason his his view of transition uh
37:19garment was you know tack it up right maybe in another fabric and with another technique
37:25not snaps how many customers really would know which side should be pinned and and feel confident
37:31that it looks good i really want to see him him doing a day wear this was his chance to do it i
37:36know and he i know it i thought that was a good idea but it was not well done when you walk into the
37:46runway section you expect to see beautifully tailored merchandise and this wouldn't hold up
37:51let's talk about f the dress was a little bit dowdy it kind of looked like she was been partially
38:00tired and feathered it wasn't really like you know something anyone would actually wear it just didn't
38:05feel innovative and you didn't see any point to do it reversible let's put it that way he lost me at
38:11the little pieces okay stuck to the side let's talk about sunny wow sunny always brings it there's
38:23something very fun about having a dress with that many layers that are very very fine it has a little
38:28bit more of a sporty slant to it i think with the layering and the racerback detailing what talent what
38:33talent is hidden here quite a lot i think yeah let's talk about jessica jessica's dress was beautiful
38:42i really think she has skills that i did not see before i thought that the detail around the front was
38:47really interesting and beautiful and stood apart from the rest when you think about grading ups as to
38:52different sizes do you think that jessica's would be as wearable as sunny's for me it was such a tie
38:58between jessica and sunny it was very hard to choose the one designer who won the challenge and the one
39:13who was out jeff you'd like to say something i just wanted to clear the air and let everybody know
39:27that the dress that i had presented was not the dress that i would like to have presented the
39:34stitching uh i actually had to draw all of that on i don't want to be deceitful about that point taken
39:42thank you thank you first the winner congratulations jessica

41:23we all thought it was an admirable idea
