00:00:00Signers have to go through the Real Client Challenge.
00:00:08The captains and crew of Below Deck.
00:00:12If your client wants, they're the expert.
00:00:14I like bling.
00:00:15Is there any way we can get bling on that?
00:00:19It needs something.
00:00:20It's too casual.
00:00:22You don't mind all that leg out?
00:00:23No, I wanna.
00:00:24I'm feeling like tips.
00:00:27The winning uniform, it was sexy.
00:00:29And it fully delivered.
00:00:32Bishme.
00:00:34Bishme, your uniform was stylish and high fashion.
00:00:36I want one so bad.
00:00:37I got you.
00:00:38The anchor is just like everything.
00:00:40Oh, thank you.
00:00:42Carazin, Rajay, and Anna.
00:00:44The uniform was too casual and ill-fitting.
00:00:48Anna, I'm sorry you are out.

00:02:20You're welcome.
00:02:21You're welcome.
00:02:22Oh, my God.
00:02:23Total freedom.
00:02:24Make what you want to move one step closer to the finale.
00:02:30Quite a challenge, right?
00:02:32It's a double-edged sword for sure.
00:02:34But then it's like, huh.
00:02:35But then it's exciting.
00:02:36What do I make?
00:02:39This is a two-day challenge.
00:02:42Yay!
00:02:45So it better be good.
00:02:46Yes.
00:02:47All right.
00:02:48You guys can sketch tomorrow morning at the hotel
00:02:50and meet me at Mood when you're done.
00:02:53And one more thing.
00:02:54Okay.
00:02:55In honor of your newfound challenge of freedom,
00:02:58you guys are going to get to show your looks
00:03:01place at one of the most beautiful,
00:03:03most sought-after location in the city.
00:03:06Franklin D. Roosevelt for Freedoms State Park.
00:03:11Oh!
00:03:12Oh, my God.
00:03:13Oh, my God.
00:03:14This is amazing.
00:03:15As you can see, it's outside.
00:03:16And you're showing rain or shine.
00:03:17Okay.
00:03:18There's a variety of models.
00:03:19Okay, great.
00:03:20And there's extra models in here.
00:03:22And Bishmi, as the winner of the last challenge,
00:03:25you get first pick.
00:03:28All right, y'all.
00:03:30Okay, can you go a little faster?
00:03:31We gotta go.
00:03:33Who do you think?
00:03:34I've been wanting to work with her for the longest, y'all.
00:03:35Well, who's your show?
00:03:36And I love who she is, Jessica.
00:03:38Okay.
00:03:39She's good.
00:03:40All right.
00:03:41I'm going to leave these here for you guys to figure out.
00:03:43I'll see you tomorrow.
00:03:44Big challenge.
00:03:45Mm-hmm.
00:03:46Exciting.
00:03:47Big challenge, yes.
00:03:48Freedom.
00:03:49Good night.
00:03:50Oh, can I take loose?
00:03:51You're going to take loose?
00:03:52I'll take loose.
00:03:53Her hair is stuck in one look.
00:03:54I'm going to take Mimi.
00:03:55Yeah!
00:03:56I'm going to take that.
00:03:58Shanae.
00:03:59That's my daughter.
00:04:01I got the South African princess.
00:04:03Ooh!
00:04:04Ooh!
00:04:05Ooh!
00:04:06Ooh!
00:04:07Ooh!
00:04:08Fellow blonde bombshell, Ren.
00:04:10Ooh, yeah!
00:04:13Who do you have?
00:04:14Who do you have?
00:04:15Jessica Z.
00:04:16Yes!
00:04:17I'm glad we could be civilized, y'all.
00:04:18Yeah.
00:04:19Look, I don't know about y'all.
00:04:20It's been a long day, but it's time to go, y'all.
00:04:23Thank God.
00:04:24We get to be ourselves, though.
00:04:26What?
00:04:27I just want to know how much money we got.
00:04:28I'm just stressed out.
00:04:29Why are you taking the plans?
00:04:42What's up?
00:04:43Hey!
00:04:44Say hi!
00:04:45Hey, y'all!
00:04:46Good morning!
00:04:47We overslept a little bit.
00:04:48Sorry.
00:04:49It's okay.
00:04:50Who's ready to be free?
00:04:51I thought I was free.
00:04:52To be here at Challenge Number Whatever with my sisters, I think it's dope.
00:04:57I'm happy to be free with the sister circle, though.
00:04:59I'm ready.
00:05:00Hello.
00:05:01You have three strong Black women together.
00:05:05We're so supportive of each other.
00:05:08We are the sister circle.
00:05:10So besides the challenge, what is freedom to you?
00:05:12Mine's like be, do, and go.
00:05:14To be who I am, to do what I want to do, and to go anywhere I want to go.
00:05:18The freedom to be me is a gift.
00:05:20You know, I'm 47, separated now from my husband, and living a different life.
00:05:25And I do feel like a different sense of freedom.
00:05:28I don't have any restrictions.
00:05:30No one's going to tell me you can't do this now.
00:05:32What are you guys thinking for the challenge?
00:05:35What do you think about it?
00:05:36I think it's dope.
00:05:37For me, being a gay Black man, especially where I come from, I think the more you're able
00:05:41to stand behind who you are and showcase who you are and be confident in it, the more
00:05:46you're able to allow other people to be free.
00:05:48I've been judged just because of the color of my skin.
00:05:51People think I will end up joining the gang, selling drugs, or end up in jail.
00:05:57But I have the right to choose my destiny.
00:06:00Being a fashion designer, it's my way of celebrating freedom.
00:06:04I want to make sure I find who I am as a designer and what I'm capable of.
00:06:10Being Haitian and being in this country, I've realized there's so many different things that we take for granted.
00:06:15Like, I've seen dead bodies lined up on the street.
00:06:18I had a gun in my head by the army as a child.
00:06:22And now my kid can't even leave her house because she just might get kidnapped.
00:06:26So freedom means everything.
00:06:28And in the real world, like, that's what it's about.
00:06:30I feel like these are, you know, kind of like sobering moments where we kind of get to be a little bit more intimate with each other.
00:06:36And perhaps start to understand each other a little bit better in how we became the people that we are today.
00:06:43Here's some pens to sketch.
00:06:45For real?
00:06:46You have the freedom to choose whatever color you need.
00:06:48Oh, wow!
00:06:49So for this challenge, I am mixing fashion and activewear.
00:06:55I want it to be a bralette and a top combined.
00:06:58I definitely know I want some, like, cargo-inspired pants and a really cool athletic jacket.
00:07:04I'm gonna go over here.
00:07:05Don't cry.
00:07:06Don't cry for me, Argentina, okay?
00:07:10I'm sketching this as if I've already made it.
00:07:12One thing that when you see, you know it's me, it's a robe.
00:07:15So definitely making a robe.
00:07:17I want to do a sweater as well as a great pair of pants.
00:07:20I'm gonna do the staples of which I built my career.
00:07:23I'm gonna show me 100%.
00:07:25All right, you guys.
00:07:26It's freedom day.
00:07:27Let's all get to mood.
00:07:28Yes.
00:07:29Yes.
00:07:30Let's do it.
00:07:35Hi, guys.
00:07:36Did you get some sleep?
00:07:38We did.
00:07:39Did you?
00:07:40For real?
00:07:41Yeah.
00:07:42All right.
00:07:43Well, I'm glad you rested up.
00:07:44So, freedom to make whatever you want.
00:07:46Nice.
00:07:47But just remember, do you, don't lose who you are.
00:07:51Yes.
00:07:5230 minutes to shop.
00:07:53$750.
00:07:54That's a lot.
00:07:55That's a lot.
00:07:56That's good.
00:07:57You ready?
00:07:58Mm-hmm.
00:07:59All right, go.
00:08:00It's gonna go quick.
00:08:06Print is on the other side, right?
00:08:07Other side.
00:08:10Give me five yards of all these.
00:08:12Okay.
00:08:13If you can, please.
00:08:14Yep.
00:08:15That's not it.
00:08:16It will look like an evening gown.
00:08:17Okay.
00:08:18Basically, it'll be a two-piece, a top, and a skirt.
00:08:19Okay.
00:08:20Being told that I have full freedom to do whatever I want as a Palestinian, it's quite big because
00:08:26that's something that we are, on a daily basis, deprived of.
00:08:29So, I want to create a design that mimics freedom of flow of light, silky fabrics that showcases my love for draping.
00:08:38I'm envisioning something that's Oscar-worthy.
00:08:41I think you should make just the most insane thing that you've ever made.
00:08:44Okay.
00:08:45them up.
00:08:46Okay.
00:08:47I'm gonna do that.
00:08:48Please.
00:08:50I'm gonna do it.
00:08:51That's too expensive.
00:08:53Baby blue feathers.
00:08:54Yep.
00:08:55Where do they go?
00:08:56And pink.
00:08:57Yep.
00:08:58This is lavender.
00:08:59It matches my fabric.
00:09:00I'm so excited for this challenge.
00:09:01My design, it's gonna be whimsical.
00:09:03It's gonna be fairytale.
00:09:05I feel very Easter.
00:09:06You said do me.
00:09:07I'm doing me.
00:09:08I'm gonna go no holds barred.
00:09:11This is gonna be wild.
00:09:13I don't know what's happening.
00:09:15Fifteen minutes.
00:09:16Wow, it went fast.
00:09:18Good.
00:09:19I gotta get home for lunch.
00:09:20You said we could do anything, right, Christian?
00:09:22Where you at?
00:09:23Keep up.
00:09:24Keep up.
00:09:25Excuse me, sir.
00:09:27What are you gonna make?
00:09:28I'm making a gown.
00:09:29I first sketch out this gown.
00:09:32I know for sure I want to create something with a ruffle bottom,
00:09:35and a jacket with a hat that has a free-flowing type of feel with it.
00:09:41Oh, so now you're going chocolate brown?
00:09:44I have a game plan.
00:09:45Yeah, two pieces of one yard.
00:09:47Oh my God, I love you.
00:09:48Well, Laurence, I'll meet you in leather,
00:09:50because I know you're here.
00:09:52Black?
00:09:53Again?
00:09:54Oh, come on.
00:09:55The green jumpsuit was the most major color.
00:09:58I know.
00:09:59Leather moment in the world.
00:10:00Do a cool color.
00:10:01Purple.
00:10:02I see this beautiful purple leather.
00:10:05So soft that I had to have it.
00:10:08See?
00:10:09Thank you, you're here.
00:10:10Fab.
00:10:12Designers, that's it.
00:10:13That's time.
00:10:14In line, or you get nothing.
00:10:17Who are we missing?
00:10:18Rami?
00:10:19These are all together.
00:10:21Oh my God, you guys stress me out to the end.
00:10:24Coming up?
00:10:25Across for me is Britney,
00:10:27and I instantly noticed my top for the 90s challenge.
00:10:31I feel like I'm in an episode of Bitch Stole My Love.
00:10:34This bitch ain't over in the top.
00:10:36I am fighting.
00:10:43Freedom challenge.
00:10:45Oh, there he goes.
00:10:46There he goes.
00:10:47I wanted to trip you so bad.
00:10:48Why?
00:10:49I'm running to open the door.
00:10:50See his intention.
00:10:51See his intention.
00:10:52You're welcome.
00:10:53Mwah.
00:10:54You such a gentle lady.
00:10:56Wait, I still gotta share a table.
00:10:59Stay over there.
00:11:00It's okay.
00:11:01Whoa, he was right.
00:11:02This is really bright.
00:11:03Damn.
00:11:04There you go.
00:11:05There you go.
00:11:06Yeah.
00:11:07This challenge is exciting, but it's also extremely terrifying.
00:11:10That freedom without the guidance can be your downfall.
00:11:14This shirt is coming off.
00:11:16Good God, I'm hot.
00:11:17Yeah.
00:11:18Cool.
00:11:19It's gonna be on the skirt?
00:11:20Yeah, on the top of it.
00:11:21Okay, you working, ain't you?
00:11:22This time I like to focus on one of the voodoo spirits called Dumballa.
00:11:36When God created the heavens and the earth, he actually uses Dumballa's bones as a snake
00:11:41to create the cosmos.
00:11:43I practice voodoo.
00:11:44It is a religion of the Africans imported into the island of Haiti.
00:11:49I would love to spray paint these green.
00:11:52A real monochromatic look.
00:11:54Okay.
00:11:55Good luck, I guess.
00:11:57I have done street wear this season, but I also make evening wear.
00:12:01And I wanna create something that is me.
00:12:03So I'm making this evening look.
00:12:05Drop waist skirt with a slit in the front so that she can actually see skin as she walks.
00:12:10And I'm doing a crop top with very big shoulders and it can kind of mimic the skin of a snake.
00:12:18Hey, everybody.
00:12:19Hey.
00:12:20Hey.
00:12:21How's it like to be free?
00:12:24I feel so good.
00:12:25It looks like pretty great.
00:12:26I love it.
00:12:27All right, I'm excited.
00:12:28I'm coming to take a look.
00:12:29Cool.
00:12:30Wow.
00:12:31A drape on the form.
00:12:33Because you just get to make whatever you want.
00:12:35So now you're just making whatever you want.
00:12:36Oh my God.
00:12:37Exactly.
00:12:38Isn't this great?
00:12:39I'm so excited.
00:12:40So tell me everything.
00:12:41What's the concept?
00:12:42What's the vibe?
00:12:43So the concept is my whole kind of Fashion Fairy Godmother vibe.
00:12:45It's like really whimsical.
00:12:46The Fashion Fairy Godmother is just my nonprofit that helps foster care kids.
00:12:52They teach them how to write, produce, and act in their own short films.
00:12:57It's really amazing.
00:12:58Every child deserves a fairytale ending.
00:13:01They didn't have the life that I have.
00:13:04So to me to try to give these kids a life is something that's so important to me.
00:13:09I literally grew up in a fairytale world.
00:13:18That's how we were brought up and raised.
00:13:21My father's in the Air Force.
00:13:23My mom was a princess.
00:13:25And they created this cocoon that even though we grew up in the time period that we grew up in,
00:13:30there's a lot of things that we did not see until later in life because they protected us.
00:13:36I'm really intrigued.
00:13:37Okay, great.
00:13:38I've always been encouraged by my mom and my dad to do things big.
00:13:42So for this challenge, I'm creating my own narrative and I'm telling their story.
00:13:46You've got these very soft, romantic colors and fabrics.
00:13:52Yes.
00:13:53Feathers.
00:13:54Yes.
00:13:55Is this going to be like that bridesmaids dress that you don't want to give to your friend?
00:13:58Think couture.
00:13:59Think like big.
00:14:00Okay, I like that.
00:14:01Big sleeves.
00:14:02Some type of sculptural moment.
00:14:04Yeah, very sculptural moment.
00:14:05That's cool.
00:14:06Yeah.
00:14:07People are either going to love this light, fairy-like thing.
00:14:09Yeah.
00:14:10Or they might not.
00:14:11The part about freedom is you guys ask us to be ourselves.
00:14:14Yeah.
00:14:15That's where I live in and there's a market and people who love what I do.
00:14:18You convinced me.
00:14:19You'll see.
00:14:20You always do it though.
00:14:23Laurence.
00:14:24How's it going?
00:14:25It's going.
00:14:26This is a very tailored piece.
00:14:28Yes.
00:14:29What are you going to do?
00:14:30I don't know if I'm going to use this on the top or the bottom.
00:14:33Okay.
00:14:34Because what is the idea?
00:14:35What's it going to be?
00:14:36This tailored jacket into a skirt?
00:14:38Into a long skirt.
00:14:40Go evening.
00:14:41Why not?
00:14:42You're so good at it.
00:14:44I'm going to start sewing for the fitting.
00:14:45I'm going to start cutting.
00:14:46Okay, great.
00:14:48Good luck.
00:14:49Thanks.
00:14:50I'm making a leather jacket.
00:14:52Strong shoulders, short sleeves.
00:14:54And the bottom of it, I bought purple leather.
00:14:57So basically, I'm going to make a long skirt.
00:15:00But the top of the skirt is going to be visually a black leather panty around the skirt.
00:15:06I'm going to show them a strong piece that I will put in it that people would see and be like, wow.
00:15:11The sun is going to be shining down upon us.
00:15:15Whatever it is, honey, I am looking forward.
00:15:19Hi.
00:15:20Do you have an appointment?
00:15:22Yeah, I do.
00:15:23Okay.
00:15:24Well, step into my office.
00:15:25I'm here.
00:15:26Would you have some tea?
00:15:27All right.
00:15:28Tell me, what are you doing?
00:15:29The goddess Dabala.
00:15:31And he's a snake.
00:15:32That's why you picked green.
00:15:33Green.
00:15:34Because of the snake.
00:15:35This fabric here.
00:15:36This is the snake skin.
00:15:37Twirled around.
00:15:38You can kind of see it.
00:15:39So this big fitted drop waisted ball skirt.
00:15:41Yeah.
00:15:42I think they're going to think this is someone else up there.
00:15:45I don't think it's very you yet.
00:15:47The whole sporty and the bummer and the puffer thing, it started at Project Runway.
00:15:52I explored it.
00:15:53You did it.
00:15:54It's not really you.
00:15:55It's not what I do every day.
00:15:57It could be very strong being this green monochromatic thing.
00:16:02It's quite powerful that way.
00:16:04Yeah.
00:16:05I feel like I'm very excited about this because I feel like this is a moment for me.
00:16:08They're going to be so shocked.
00:16:09They're going to be like, what?
00:16:10I feel like I need to reintroduce myself.
00:16:12I'm excited.
00:16:13It's going to be really cool.
00:16:14You always get Praje whatever he does, whether it's street wear or is it high-end couture.
00:16:20Making gowns is literally how I started my business.
00:16:24I think this is the most me thing I've done here.
00:16:27Bishmi?
00:16:28Hey there, Christian.
00:16:29What are you making?
00:16:31Sup?
00:16:32I'm going to do like a big volume skirt, like a cool jacket and then a visor there.
00:16:37So this can kind of like blow while she like walks.
00:16:40So this would be like a visor hat and then that would be behind her?
00:16:43Oh my God, I'm obsessed with it.
00:16:45I just want a lot of movement and volume and coolness.
00:16:47Like that?
00:16:48Yeah.
00:16:51Good luck.
00:16:57Does this track make me look skinny?
00:16:59Mm-hmm.
00:17:00Just checking.
00:17:03All right.
00:17:04That's how, how's it going?
00:17:06So I like the whole idea of like robes.
00:17:08It's really a signature for me.
00:17:09So I want to give like the most amazing robe you've ever made.
00:17:12Period.
00:17:13With obviously a look that goes under.
00:17:15Yeah.
00:17:16This challenge being inspired by freedom means so much.
00:17:19As an African, as an immigrant, as a newfound American.
00:17:23We're still fighting for general freedom in our regular lives.
00:17:27It's a lot and it's emotional.
00:17:28So I'm just trying to figure out like the sleeve situations.
00:17:31I kind of like this because it blends better with the fabric.
00:17:34But I didn't want it to like drown.
00:17:35I think you need that trim or something.
00:17:37Yeah.
00:17:38To break it up.
00:17:39I want to actually incorporate my leather into my sleeves.
00:17:42I want to create shackles that are just kind of like getting bigger as the hand grows stronger.
00:17:49But they're not connected.
00:17:50They're completely free.
00:17:51It's going to slay.
00:17:52Okay.
00:17:53Okay.
00:17:54So tell them.
00:17:55Promise me.
00:17:56I will.
00:17:57Back to work.
00:17:58Sometimes the restrictions just gives it energy that you can't hold it down.
00:18:01You can't hide it.
00:18:02It's going to shine.
00:18:04You guys have about four hours until model fitting.
00:18:09I won't be here for model fitting.
00:18:11So good luck.
00:18:12And I'll see you for the runway.
00:18:14Thank you Christian.
00:18:16Bye.
00:18:17Bye.
00:18:29I'm going to visit the East Coast.
00:18:31You're in the Midwest.
00:18:33What are you doing?
00:18:37So project comes.
00:18:38He's riding really feverishly fast.
00:18:41And basically it's about, you know, there's a lot of plagiarism going on.
00:18:46It's a collage.
00:18:48Across from it is Britney.
00:18:50And I instantly noticed my top from the 90s challenge.
00:18:55If that's the direction she wants to go, go ahead.
00:18:57But I would appreciate her note.
00:18:59Oh my God.
00:19:00I'm going to have a panic attack.
00:19:02Honey, I will say something.
00:19:03Stitches get stitches.
00:19:05I'm going to have an episode of Bitch Stole My Luck.
00:19:08What did you say project?
00:19:09I'm going to have an episode of Bitch Stole My Luck.
00:19:11I think I know.
00:19:12Never mind.
00:19:13Down to the high waisted pants.
00:19:15I do think Britney is living in her own world, not being aware that these looks might be very similar to looks at people that have walked these walls.
00:19:22This bitch end up in the top.
00:19:23I am fighting.
00:19:24Don't do it.
00:19:25Okay.
00:19:26The queen has spoken.
00:19:27All right.
00:19:28Okay.
00:19:29I mean, it's obvious.
00:19:30So just don't say it.
00:19:31It's for others to figure out.
00:19:32I just let it go and accept it.
00:19:33I'm going to do me moving forward.
00:19:34Designers.
00:19:35Who wants a model?
00:19:36I do.
00:19:37I do.
00:19:38You get a model.
00:19:39And you get a model.
00:19:40And all the way in the East Coast, y'all going to get some models too.
00:19:43Yay.
00:19:44How are you?
00:19:45Models in the house.
00:19:46Y'all have to do it.
00:19:47Good to do it.
00:19:48Good to do it.
00:19:49I'm going to do it.
00:19:50Okay.
00:19:51The queen has spoken.
00:19:52All right.
00:19:53Okay.
00:19:54I mean, it's obvious.
00:19:55So just don't say it.
00:19:56It's for others to figure out.
00:19:57I just let it go and accept it.
00:19:58I'm going to do me moving forward.
00:19:59Designers.
00:20:00Yes.
00:20:01Who wants a model?
00:20:02I do.
00:20:03I do.
00:20:04You get a model.
00:20:05And you get a model.
00:20:06Yay.
00:20:07And all the way in the East Coast, y'all going to get some models too.
00:20:10Yay.
00:20:11How are you?
00:20:12Good to see you.
00:20:13How are you?
00:20:14Hi, bitch.
00:20:15Aw.
00:20:16I want you to be like the new version of like apocalyptic, edgy street wear type of feel.
00:20:21It's going to look very dope.
00:20:22I want to make sure it fit how I need it to fit.
00:20:25You're not going to believe it.
00:20:26Where?
00:20:27We are modeling outdoors and like it's beautiful.
00:20:30It's like a freedom part.
00:20:32That's gorgeous.
00:20:33I can't wait.
00:20:34This challenge is pretty much like do whatever you want, whatever your aesthetic is.
00:20:39This is going to be very different.
00:20:41I can't.
00:20:42Where are you from?
00:20:43Originally, born in Jerusalem, Palestine, and I have been here for the past 10 years.
00:20:49This is a big sentimental, symbolic challenge for me because it literally is about the Palestinian
00:20:55dream, which is freedom.
00:20:56I started sketching when I was seven years old during curfews and lockdowns where we couldn't
00:21:01leave the house for five or six days.
00:21:04Design was part of my personal therapy.
00:21:07The creative process was dealing with that kind of anxiety of that constant state of instability
00:21:14where you don't have equal human rights, let alone freedom of movement.
00:21:18The idea is like a really formal like red carpet.
00:21:22Red carpet.
00:21:23You know what I mean?
00:21:24And I feel like the colors.
00:21:25We're going for Oscar out there.
00:21:26Yes.
00:21:27Yes.
00:21:28That's the idea.
00:21:29I'm glad that you feel that vibe.
00:21:31So I'm going to create something that is the opposite of how I grew up feeling, which is something light and airy and simply majestic in a sense.
00:21:44So my goal is to have it coming from your hair like here.
00:21:50Oh my gosh.
00:21:51I am so excited.
00:21:52This is so cool.
00:21:54This is definitely a risk to have this snake going through a hair and not knowing why is there.
00:22:00Kind of this idea of the spiritual world and the physical.
00:22:06So you are the goddess Zambala.
00:22:09I am so happy.
00:22:11This is like a whimsical fairy tale.
00:22:16Oh my gosh.
00:22:17You just went like.
00:22:18Yep.
00:22:19Finished it all.
00:22:20Oh, that looks absolutely amazing.
00:22:22It's very me.
00:22:23It's very my aesthetic.
00:22:24Yeah.
00:22:25We're right here.
00:22:26We see each other.
00:22:27It's going to be like a mermaid.
00:22:28That's why I measure your knees.
00:22:29So basically he'll be fitted and then like you'll have room so you can walk.
00:22:34Okay.
00:22:35Yeah.
00:22:36What's your accent?
00:22:37Born and raised in France, but I've been in the US for a minute.
00:22:41Yeah, this is going to be cute.
00:22:43I think I'm a private person.
00:22:45I keep a lot of , right?
00:22:47Because it's my business.
00:22:51From 16 to 20, I went from being a kid to a freaking adult.
00:22:56I did not live my teenage years because I had a kid.
00:23:00And that's why part of me always felt out of place.
00:23:04I never was the one to share my personal life.
00:23:08I just always walk with my head high no matter what it is that I'm carrying.
00:23:12Or maybe I'll put a little zipper like here.
00:23:15This little detail.
00:23:17Yeah, yeah.
00:23:18I don't even know why I'm telling you.
00:23:20That's my problem to figure out, right?
00:23:22You'll figure it out.
00:23:23I think I'm going to add like at least two inches to the hem.
00:23:26So it's like just super baggy.
00:23:28Feels amazing.
00:23:29Feels perfect.
00:23:30I love it.
00:23:31I feel so cute.
00:23:33I like the white a lot with this because I feel like the contrast is cute, right?
00:23:37It's so great.
00:23:38It's so awesome.
00:23:39Yeah.
00:23:40And with the jacket when you're just like it's open and gathered and you're like.
00:23:43I'm sorry, but it's time.
00:23:46Say bye to your models.
00:23:47Y'all ain't got to go home, but you got to get the out of here.
00:23:52Thank you, love.
00:23:53Bye.
00:23:54Bye.
00:23:55Bye guys.
00:23:56See you next time.
00:23:58How did it go for you?
00:24:00It went cool.
00:24:01I got to just add it together.
00:24:04You know?
00:24:05Do what I do.
00:24:06This dress is literally a representation of me.
00:24:09I feel like brown is beautiful and it doesn't get a chance to be used in like an elegant way.
00:24:16This is actually my first time using all brown for a challenge.
00:24:20So pretty happy about this.
00:24:22Damn.
00:24:23This is hot.
00:24:24Hey, y'all.
00:24:25Hey.
00:24:26We got 30 minutes.
00:24:28Really?
00:24:29Make it count.
00:24:30You gonna put something here or just this?
00:24:32Mm-mm.
00:24:33No?
00:24:34No.
00:24:35Yeah, yeah, I am.
00:24:36I wanted to use the gorgeous costume.
00:24:37Oh, please.
00:24:38I mean, I love carousel, but I see the look and I don't know.
00:24:42It's a little too busy for me.
00:24:44This is so fun.
00:24:48Add that little rah-rah-rah to it, honey.
00:24:50Yeah.
00:24:51Ah!
00:24:53What more do you have to work on tonight?
00:24:55I got a lot going on, all right?
00:24:57I do like Brittany's look.
00:24:59I love the colors.
00:25:00I love the young freshness of this sportswear.
00:25:03Loved a lot.
00:25:04But mine was better.
00:25:06All right, guys.
00:25:08It's time to head out.
00:25:10All right.
00:25:11I'm sorry.
00:25:12I know you all want to stay, but...
00:25:14Time to go.
00:25:15Let's get on up out of here.
00:25:17I want to go eat.
00:25:18Oof.
00:25:21Coming up?
00:25:22Can you walk?
00:25:23It's a little restrictive right now.
00:25:25You have like 15 minutes.
00:25:26I don't know.
00:25:27What else could you do?
00:25:28Because it's tight.
00:25:38It's too early.
00:25:39It's so early.
00:25:40Good morning, America.
00:25:42Oh, my goodness.
00:25:43It's breakfast.
00:25:44I love it.
00:25:46How does everybody feel this morning?
00:25:48We're going to the Freedom Park today.
00:25:50It's going to be fantastic.
00:25:51Fantastic.
00:25:52Like, this is the moment to share your design language,
00:25:55in a sense.
00:25:56Like, what do you envision?
00:25:57And I think that this is the opportunity to do that,
00:26:00without the restrictions.
00:26:02Do everybody have a lot left to do?
00:26:04Yeah.
00:26:05Yes, of course.
00:26:06I know.
00:26:07I mean, come on.
00:26:08Are you going to have enough ostrich?
00:26:09Do you want me to go kill a few?
00:26:10I will feel in the back.
00:26:11No.
00:26:12We did not.
00:26:13No animals were harmed in the filming of this episode.
00:26:17So let's do it.
00:26:18Come on.
00:26:23Yes.
00:26:24This is where the magic happens, y'all.
00:26:26Yes.
00:26:27The last stretch.
00:26:28Love it.
00:26:29Did you know that?
00:26:32God, I got to start my jacket.
00:26:34Same.
00:26:35I'm trying to spend as much time on this to finish it,
00:26:39so I can move on to the next .
00:26:41Do you love it?
00:26:43I think so, once I be done sewing it.
00:26:45Is it perfect?
00:26:46I think so, once I be done sewing with it.
00:26:49Is it cool?
00:26:50I think so, once I put it all together.
00:27:02So I'm pretty much done with the jacket,
00:27:04so now I'm just going to tackle the skirt.
00:27:06But the problem is I am not completely in love with it yet,
00:27:10because I cannot see the whole thing yet.
00:27:14That clock over there is my enemy.
00:27:21Missing one feather.
00:27:22Oh, there it is.
00:27:27I'm always missing one.
00:27:29Right now, it is all about finishing the jacket really, really quickly
00:27:34and spending the rest of the time creating this dress.
00:27:37I mean, the jacket's going to be closed the whole time anyway.
00:27:48I am creating this pleather jacket that has this rust feel to it
00:27:53if you stretch the fabric enough.
00:27:55And I'm liking how it's looking like aged leather.
00:27:59No more exaggerated shoulders,
00:28:01because I want to show the judges that I am taking in what they are saying.
00:28:06Vishmi, your look might have ended up in the top
00:28:10if it weren't for those shoulders.
00:28:12It's time to show them that I have evolved
00:28:15to the designer that they know I am.
00:28:18How you feeling?
00:28:19I'm good.
00:28:20Just, you know, in the zone.
00:28:21If I miss you in the zone, that's a great thing.
00:28:25Hi, everybody.
00:28:27Hi.
00:28:28Guys, it's show day.
00:28:30And we're taking it on the road.
00:28:32Yay.
00:28:33All right.
00:28:34Who wants a model?
00:28:35You know I want my model, boy.
00:28:36Don't ask me no question like that.
00:28:38All right.
00:28:39Let's bring them in.
00:28:41Hello.
00:28:42How's it going?
00:28:43Hey, boo.
00:28:44Finishing the jacket.
00:28:45Amazing.
00:28:47All right, designers.
00:28:48You have about two hours.
00:28:51Until you head over to 4 Freedom State Park.
00:28:53Woo!
00:28:55Lift your left arm.
00:28:56Turn that way.
00:28:57And then you got your black nail, so that's perfect.
00:28:59It's perfect.
00:29:00I know I got a lot to make, but I'm trying to stay centered and, you know, positive.
00:29:06Hey.
00:29:11Wow.
00:29:12What's going on?
00:29:13It is.
00:29:15What's the skirt?
00:29:16It's just a simple beaded gown and then the jacket.
00:29:18That's it.
00:29:19This is part of the jacket and that's it.
00:29:20Oh, this cape piece.
00:29:21Yeah.
00:29:22It's part of the jacket.
00:29:23You need that?
00:29:24The cape piece?
00:29:25The jacket's so cool without it.
00:29:28Without the cape piece?
00:29:30It looks like you're just adding it on to add it on.
00:29:32No.
00:29:34Okay.
00:29:36A lot of look.
00:29:37I hope it's a lot of look.
00:29:38It's my signature.
00:29:40Huh.
00:29:41The sleeve is very cool though.
00:29:44Hmm.
00:29:49Zipper.
00:29:50Zipper.
00:29:51Snaps.
00:29:52Done.
00:29:53It's like cool sweater thing.
00:29:54Does this go with it?
00:29:55It looks good.
00:29:56It does.
00:29:57Okay.
00:29:58I'll probably move this so it doesn't move.
00:30:00Wow.
00:30:01Look at that sleeve.
00:30:02Are you beading too?
00:30:03Just the edge of the sleeve.
00:30:05Really?
00:30:06Not really me.
00:30:07It's cute.
00:30:08Alright.
00:30:10I love how the silver shimmers.
00:30:14Woo!
00:30:15Woo!
00:30:16Woo!
00:30:17Yeah!
00:30:18What is that?
00:30:19The outfit.
00:30:20What are you talking about?
00:30:21Y'all said do whatever I want, so I want to do that.
00:30:23This is not the outfit.
00:30:24Come on.
00:30:25This is it.
00:30:26No, you're not just showing underwear.
00:30:29I am.
00:30:30Are you serious?
00:30:33No, you're not.
00:30:34He's lying.
00:30:35Where's the rest?
00:30:36That's it.
00:30:37I didn't have time.
00:30:38No, you made a sheer skirt.
00:30:39Where's the gown?
00:30:40I'm going to go look.
00:30:41You're not going to see anything.
00:30:42What do you mean you don't have time?
00:30:43You have two days.
00:30:45Oh, he's trying to hide it from me.
00:30:49Coming up.
00:30:50It's raining.
00:30:51The models have to walk with an umbrella.
00:30:53Let's go under the tent.
00:30:54I'm visualizing raindrops literally staining the silk.
00:31:06What is that?
00:31:07The outfit.
00:31:08No, you're not just showing underwear.
00:31:09No, you're not just showing underwear.
00:31:10Where's the gown?
00:31:11I'm going to go look.
00:31:13You're not going to see anything.
00:31:15I don't believe you.
00:31:18I thought so.
00:31:23I love messing with Christian because low key, he stresses me out sometimes.
00:31:30And if you were serious, I was going to cut you in half so hard.
00:31:33We're what?
00:31:34You stress us out, I'm going to stress you out.
00:31:36All right, designers.
00:31:37When you're ready, take your models to the makeup studio and the TRESemmƩ hair salon.
00:31:42And it's freedom.
00:31:43The looks can be anything.
00:31:48Hi, I'm Lacey.
00:31:49Nice to meet you.
00:31:50Hey, Lacey.
00:31:51Hi.
00:31:54The look is super sporty, so I'm doing the bubble braid.
00:31:57Like here, kind of at the top of the ears.
00:31:59Yes.
00:32:00I'm going to use the TRESemmƩ extra whole mousse.
00:32:02I want to, like, really make sure all this hair is, like, really split back.
00:32:07It's so cute.
00:32:08Hey, gorgeous.
00:32:09I wanted to bring you my look.
00:32:11Roberta has beautiful hair.
00:32:13What I would like to do, though, is almost like a zigzag crimp.
00:32:16First, I'm going to prep your hair with TRESemmƩ One Step Blowout Balm.
00:32:20Oh.
00:32:21Because it will minimize the frizz.
00:32:23Oh, it smells really good.
00:32:24Oh, so good.
00:32:26Yes, gorgeous.
00:32:32Brinny, those pants need a press.
00:32:39They're going to be crumpled up.
00:32:41All right.
00:32:42Well, then don't press them.
00:32:47Don't listen to me.
00:32:48What do I know?
00:32:49Bishmi, put the skirt on.
00:32:51I want to see something on a body.
00:32:56Sakes.
00:32:59Hmm.
00:33:00Simple.
00:33:02Simple and elegant.
00:33:03Oh.
00:33:04That's nice.
00:33:05That's me.
00:33:06Okay.
00:33:09Can you, like, walk?
00:33:12Oh, no.
00:33:13I'm going to cry.
00:33:16Naked?
00:33:18I'm glad you got rid of the lining.
00:33:20Yeah.
00:33:21Mm-hmm.
00:33:22So let me do some hand sewing.
00:33:23Uh-huh.
00:33:24So look.
00:33:25So let me see the side.
00:33:26Take little steps, see if you can walk.
00:33:28It's a little restrictive right now.
00:33:30Uh-huh.
00:33:31Nice.
00:33:33Can you just cut a vent in the back?
00:33:36Hmm.
00:33:37Like a center backslit.
00:33:39I don't know.
00:33:40What else could you do?
00:33:42I'm going to add a panel real quick.
00:33:44Maybe cut it.
00:33:45Try it on again.
00:33:46Yeah, okay.
00:33:47And you have, like, 15 minutes.
00:33:48All right.
00:33:49Because it's tight.
00:33:50Maybe I was too ambitious and...
00:33:52I don't know.
00:33:53But this thing has to be perfect.
00:33:56I love green.
00:33:57Me too.
00:33:58It's so elegant.
00:33:59Yeah.
00:34:00Oh, there's a slit.
00:34:01Everybody is showing quite a lot.
00:34:04Little peek-a-boos all around.
00:34:09All right, designers.
00:34:10I'm taking your model to the park in five minutes.
00:34:13See where your sleeves are?
00:34:17Ront.
00:34:18You good? You good?
00:34:19Yep.
00:34:20You did it?
00:34:21Yeah, I did it.
00:34:22Just gotta glue it real quick.
00:34:23Oh.
00:34:24They'll see it when they got to see it.
00:34:26Wow, those pants are cool.
00:34:28I finally got a cool from Christian, y'all.
00:34:30I'm going to give myself a slap of hands.
00:34:34I'm finally in the cool club.
00:34:38Let me cut some of these strings really quick.
00:34:40All right, designers.
00:34:41One minute, and I'm taking your models.
00:34:45Let me see if I can find, like, a simple necklace.
00:34:47I love this walk.
00:34:48This is beautiful.
00:34:49Yep.
00:34:50Can you help me find a necklace?
00:34:52Absolutely not.
00:34:53Don't you dare put a necklace on this thing.
00:34:55I will come here.
00:34:59God.
00:35:01Better, right?
00:35:02Much better.
00:35:05All right, I'm taking your models.
00:35:06Designers, you stay here, pack up your things,
00:35:08and I'll see you there for last looks.
00:35:10Come on.
00:35:11Word, bitch.
00:35:12Let's go.
00:35:13All right, guys.
00:35:14I'll see you in a little bit.
00:35:23All right, designers.
00:35:24Last look.
00:35:25Let's do it now before it rains.
00:35:30Back one more time.
00:35:31Make sure it's center.
00:35:33Can I get some lips over here, please?
00:35:35Ten minutes until showtime.
00:35:37A little party of threads back here.
00:35:39Oh, wow, you really see everything outside, don't you?
00:35:42Sure do.
00:35:43With a natural light, you really see it all.
00:35:46Can I put a little more?
00:35:47Guess what's not a cat eye?
00:35:48You don't want a cat eye?
00:35:49No.
00:35:54Well, if the models have to walk with an umbrella,
00:35:57maybe it's a vibe.
00:36:00Oh!
00:36:01It's raining.
00:36:02Okay, I need to go.
00:36:03All I'm visualizing now is braindrops literally staining the silk.
00:36:10Let's go under the tent.
00:36:13Two minutes.
00:36:17Make sure somebody pluck their sleeves.
00:36:20All right, designers.
00:36:21That's it.
00:36:22That's time.
00:36:23I'm so excited.
00:36:24I would have missed this for the world.
00:36:26I'll see you there.
00:36:27Let's go.
00:36:33Hi, designers.
00:36:34Hi.
00:36:35Hi.
00:36:36How epic is this?
00:36:37Real epic.
00:36:38Real epic.
00:36:39Real epic, right?
00:36:40Gorgeous, sunny, warm day, right?
00:36:41Absolutely.
00:36:42On point.
00:36:43Welcome to the Franklin D. Roosevelt for Freedom State Park.
00:36:58Yay!
00:36:59We thought this would be a beautiful place to showcase who you are and exactly what you do.
00:37:10And so fun to have Christian with us.
00:37:12Yes!
00:37:14Wow!
00:37:15We didn't even give him cards.
00:37:16No cards.
00:37:18We decided to keep this one in the family because it was just too important.
00:37:22Understood.
00:37:23Honestly, we cannot wait to see what all of you have designed when you've been given total freedom.
00:37:29Designers will score your designs as they come down the runway.
00:37:32All right, everybody.
00:37:33Let's start the show.
00:37:34Let's start it.
00:37:35Yay!
00:37:36Yes!
00:37:53I think I've done more than enough in this challenge.
00:37:56I stay true to who I am.
00:37:58And as a designer, I represented what I do.
00:38:01Wow.
00:38:07My look is great.
00:38:08This is a look where I get to give full, cut-toe, Clarice, mumaloo.
00:38:13And that's what they're getting today.
00:38:14It looks stunning.
00:38:27The movement of this fabric as she walks with the wind blowing.
00:38:31It's as if she's floating.
00:38:32Then as she turns, you get this little element of surprise of this open bag.
00:38:50I think this will completely represent who I am as a designer.
00:38:56And this is very evening for me.
00:38:59This is one of the happiest I have been creating looks on this competition.
00:39:07Very, like, great expectations or something.
00:39:10I feel like now I'm doing things that is me.
00:39:18Come on, mama.
00:39:19Give it to him.
00:39:20Give it to him.
00:39:21With this look, I'm so happy with it.
00:39:29It definitely shows my identity and DNA.
00:39:31Nice, Sporty Spice.
00:39:32Nice.
00:39:33Wren is working this look.
00:39:35It's very dimensional.
00:39:36And I'm glad that I could really bring color in active wear and high fashion to this runway.
00:39:45I can stand by my design with pride because, I mean, this is who I am.
00:39:57I'm not just going to pretend to be somebody else that does couture garments.
00:40:01I mean, it's fabulous.
00:40:02It was pretty good.
00:40:03It's very pretty from afar.
00:40:07I hope it's as gorgeous when it comes into focus.
00:40:26I love the fabrication, the brocade, the lace, the feathers.
00:40:32It's just, it's beautiful.
00:40:36I knew going into this challenge that I wanted to create this fashion fair godmother look.
00:40:42Because that's who I am.
00:40:44The cut of that jacket is so weird, though.
00:40:47Mimi literally looks like a dream.
00:41:06This is beautiful.
00:41:08It's very pretty from afar.
00:41:10And it's one of the most beautiful runways that I've ever done in any of the challenges on this show.
00:41:18Oh!
00:41:21She looks glamorous.
00:41:22She looks elegant.
00:41:24It's just moving around like a beautiful, gorgeous cloud.
00:41:29Yeah, she's giving high fashion beauty questions.
00:41:34This dress embodies who I am and my passion as a designer.
00:41:39And embodies the theme of this challenge.
00:41:42It is quite beautiful.
00:41:43Yeah, no, it is pretty.
00:41:44Very pretty.
00:41:47This look, for me, represents everything that I love to do in this fashion game, which is leather.
00:42:04It's pretty gorge.
00:42:05That's a skirt that would sell.
00:42:06It was gorgeous.
00:42:07Love what I did.
00:42:08Very proud of what I did.
00:42:09I hope that I've done enough to stay in this competition.
00:42:10Because, again, you never know.
00:42:11Laurence can cut a skirt that is, like, the most impossible to walk in.
00:42:14Seriously.
00:42:15And the model, like, will always walk flawlessly in it, no matter who it is.
00:42:16It's like a very specific skill set.
00:42:17I mean, look at the bottom of that skirt.
00:42:18I mean, look at the bottom of that skirt.
00:42:19I mean, look at the bottom of that skirt.
00:42:20I mean, look at the bottom of that skirt.
00:42:22I am.
00:42:23I am.
00:42:24I am.
00:42:25pleased with seeing Jessica walk down this runway.
00:42:26I am.
00:42:27I am.
00:42:28the pleather jacket is looking so amazing.
00:42:29What if she's wearing this jacket?
00:42:30It's like the most impossible to walk in.
00:42:32Seriously?
00:42:33And the model, like, will always walk flawlessly in it, no matter who it is.
00:42:34It's like a very specific skill set.
00:42:35I mean, look at the bottom of that skirt.
00:42:38I am.
00:42:43I am.
00:42:48I am pleased with seeing Jessica walk down this runway.
00:42:53The pleather jacket is looking so amazing.
00:42:57Oh, this is really beautiful in this light.
00:43:00Gorgeous.
00:43:02Really gorgeous.
00:43:04I think my looks stack up to the competitors
00:43:06because I'm not only showcasing a different side of me,
00:43:10I am showcasing what a collection would look like for me.
00:43:15Oh, I love this chiffon.
00:43:17The train that smacks all of her guests at the wedding
00:43:19as she walks down the aisle.
00:43:21That's major.
00:43:28If you allow me to do whatever it is that I want to do
00:43:31with the challenge, I'm going to take it there.
00:43:38That was really beautiful.
00:43:44Bravo!
00:43:46Designers, incredible, incredible work.
00:43:51You should feel so proud of yourself.
00:43:53I'm really, like, continue to be majorly blown away
00:43:56by what you're able to achieve in 15 hours.
00:43:58That was definitely worth getting out of bed,
00:44:02putting my stretch jeans, my concealer on for,
00:44:05and driving into the city to see this tonight.
00:44:07It was really beautiful.
00:44:09Really great job.
00:44:10Congratulations.
00:44:12All right, now let's all get warm
00:44:14so we can go discuss your design.
00:44:16Yes, please.
00:44:17Meet us back at the runway.
00:44:19Thank you, guys.
00:44:20You guys killed it.
00:44:22See you at the runway.
00:44:23Hello, designers.
00:44:36Did everybody get warmed up and dried off?
00:44:38Yes.
00:44:39Yes.
00:44:40Yes.
00:44:41This is getting more and more difficult
00:44:43as we're getting near the end of the competition.
00:44:46I thought this was an outstanding demonstration of your point of view.
00:44:51We've scored your designs.
00:44:53Brittany, Coteau, you are in.
00:44:59Nice job, Brittany and Coteau.
00:45:01You can leave the runway.
00:45:03A little safe, though, both.
00:45:06That was safe.
00:45:07Okay.
00:45:08Noted.
00:45:10The five of you had the highest and the lowest scores.
00:45:14One of you will be the winner, and one of you will be out.
00:45:17What's safe about that?
00:45:18You can't buy that at Target.
00:45:19They did say whatever you want.
00:45:20We really did that.
00:45:21We did whatever we wanted.
00:45:23All right, let's get into it.
00:45:24I changed my hair, put on a roomier sweater,
00:45:26because I think this is going to get juicy.
00:45:29I feel offended.
00:45:31You do?
00:45:32I'm sorry.
00:45:33I do.
00:45:34It's like I'm lending it to, like, CEOs, like, professional women who go to galas and who have foundations.
00:45:42Like, yeah, those are my customers.
00:45:44I have to stay true to her and me.
00:45:45Of course.
00:45:46Same.
00:45:47Let's start with one of our favorite looks of the night.
00:45:49Let's get the model out here.
00:45:58All right, Bhishmi, you had the freedom to do whatever you wanted tonight.
00:46:01Why this look?
00:46:02I love that I'm in a place where I identify with my masculine side and my feminine side,
00:46:08and I love to put it into my art.
00:46:10Where were you and this, where was this look when I was getting married?
00:46:14Okay.
00:46:15Because this is everything.
00:46:17It's like a cool future take on bridal.
00:46:21Let's start with the color.
00:46:23This chocolate brown read so beautifully against your model's skin.
00:46:28I thought it was really smart, though, to elevate the look with that dramatic veil, which felt like Met Gala ready.
00:46:36Is the jacket leather?
00:46:38No, so all of this is like a pleather type of fabric, and it's actually on like a tweed fabric.
00:46:44It looks so expensive.
00:46:46And what's the fabric on the bottom?
00:46:48This is a satin that's double-faced it, so I just got something that had a nice heavy weight so when she walked it could bounce a bit.
00:46:54I think this look is ready for the red carpet.
00:46:57Thank you, Elaine.
00:46:58You deliver fashion.
00:47:00You are on trend, if not making your own trends.
00:47:04As an editor, that's what I'm looking for, the surprise element.
00:47:08Thank you, Nina.
00:47:09It was challenging for me to go out in the rain today, and thank God I did because that was one of the most beautiful things I've seen.
00:47:16This I could see immediately on anybody today who is in the cultural zeitgeist.
00:47:22Thank you, Brandon.
00:47:23Thank you, Bishma.
00:47:24Thank you, Jessica.
00:47:25Jessica, you can leave the runway.
00:47:28Unfortunately, the next look was one of our least favorites of the night.
00:47:32Let's bring out the model.
00:47:34Prajee, this was different for you in this competition, so tell us why you chose this look.
00:47:46I kind of felt like I needed to say, hey, remember this.
00:47:50I remember season 19.
00:47:51I did the gloves.
00:47:52Very feminine, avant-garde, and I feel like this season that might have been a little lost with the more higher end of street wear.
00:47:59So I wanted to do something that is me.
00:48:01So there is a story behind this whole look.
00:48:03First thing that came to me was the goddess Damballa, and Haitian voodoo is half man, half snake.
00:48:08So I wanted to show that in this fabric.
00:48:10It's the idea of having this snake wrapped around her, and then the head is where I went more traditional, that physical snake.
00:48:17I appreciate that you wanted to show a side of yourself that we haven't seen much of, but this garment is everything you are not.
00:48:26It doesn't feel modern, it doesn't feel fresh, and it doesn't look like it fits the model as it should.
00:48:34I knew I was taking a risk, and the bagginess is supposed to sit right on top to create that fit there to define her waist.
00:48:41For me, the big puffy shoulders and the brocade, with the green boots, with the serpent and the hair, it was too many things together.
00:48:51I wish the snake would have been in her neck and not her top.
00:48:55I wish it would have been part of the decorative detail on this.
00:48:58But mostly, I think the problem was the portion.
00:49:02The portion.
00:49:03Okay.
00:49:04Thank you, Praje.
00:49:05Lucy can leave the runway.
00:49:07Okay, let's talk to another one of our top looks of the night.
00:49:17There she is, Miss America.
00:49:21Rami.
00:49:22Hi.
00:49:23So it was the Freedom Challenge.
00:49:24Why this look?
00:49:25Where I come from as a Palestinian, living under military occupation, we don't have the freedom challenge.
00:49:31We don't have the freedom of movement.
00:49:33I'm unable to visit my birthplace, Jerusalem.
00:49:35There are always obstacles and checkpoints in the way.
00:49:37But in this particular design, I wanted freedom of flow, freedom of movement.
00:49:42I thought the choice in fabric was smart and super risky because you can't have any cutting issues.
00:49:51You better not get a snag.
00:49:53It just, it was you.
00:49:55And it highlights your expert craftsmanship.
00:49:58Thank you so much.
00:50:00This dress is so fluid.
00:50:02Was it kind of the bias?
00:50:03Yes.
00:50:04It's all on the bias.
00:50:05The cut on the bias is driving me insane.
00:50:09I got to say.
00:50:10It is insane.
00:50:12I saw Hollywood glamour.
00:50:15This is perfection.
00:50:18Thank you so much.
00:50:19Thank you, Christian Siriano for bringing this man back because this is stunning.
00:50:28It is timeless.
00:50:29It is classic.
00:50:30But there are hints of the future here in terms of your fabric choice, those intelligently
00:50:36placed cutouts.
00:50:37It was really breathtaking.
00:50:39Thank you so much.
00:50:41Mimi, you can leave the runway.
00:50:44I love you.
00:50:45She's going to take her time.
00:50:47All right.
00:50:48Let's bring out one of our favorite looks of the night.
00:50:52Here comes the model.
00:50:57Laurence, congratulations back on the top.
00:51:03What about this look says this is Laurence.
00:51:06I like structure.
00:51:07I like lines.
00:51:08The jacket stayed true to what I designed first.
00:51:11I wanted a leather panty.
00:51:13So I decided to go with a skirt and incorporate the design of a panty in it to make it not so
00:51:19obvious, but...
00:51:20Where in the hell did you learn to cut a skirt?
00:51:23It's a whole bunch of math and body.
00:51:26It's just in my head.
00:51:28I really liked it and that's when I enrolled into fashion school.
00:51:32And that's the year, um...
00:51:45Sorry.
00:51:46Take your time.
00:51:47Take your time.
00:51:58Sorry.
00:51:59Take your time.
00:52:01So, um, I got pregnant when I was 16 and nobody knew about it.
00:52:08And, um, I got a letter telling me that I was accepted to fashion school.
00:52:14Um, so I just thought my life was over.
00:52:17Did you go to fashion school?
00:52:19Yeah.
00:52:20Only missed two weeks of school.
00:52:21Nobody ever seen me pregnant.
00:52:22Wow.
00:52:23I lost a lot because of that.
00:52:26My father disowned me and he never got over it so he literally passed away.
00:52:32And we never spoke.
00:52:33Oof.
00:52:34That's why I don't open up sometimes.
00:52:37Well, Dan.
00:52:39Thank you for sharing that story.
00:52:41And I know there's been a lot of hardship.
00:52:44But it's shaped you into a very talented designer.
00:52:49For sure.
00:52:50But you have this very strict personality and you're not letting it go.
00:52:57And when I see you move out of that comfort zone, when you play with the strict and the soft is when the magic really comes out.
00:53:07Yeah.
00:53:08It definitely does put your work into a greater context for us.
00:53:13The sculptural nature of your silhouettes is very architectural.
00:53:20The jacket for me was not maybe the most modern.
00:53:22Okay.
00:53:23But if you don't mind to turn around, the way that you're able to cut a garment is incredible.
00:53:28I mean, this is not a material that you can make a lot of mistakes with.
00:53:34No, you can't.
00:53:35Thank you, Laurence.
00:53:36Thank you, Laurence.
00:53:37Go ahead.
00:53:38All right.
00:53:39Let's bring out our last look of the night, which unfortunately was one of our least favorites.
00:53:51All right, Karasan.
00:53:52So tell us, how did you come up with the concept?
00:53:55So I love my costume design, of course.
00:53:58But this whole look was inspired by the Fashion Fairy Godmother.
00:54:02And that is a nonprofit that I have.
00:54:04These are actually the colors of the organization.
00:54:07We have been sponsoring Kids in the Spotlight and Foster Care Kids.
00:54:11And they teach them how to make their own films.
00:54:14Okay.
00:54:15So tell us in the Freedom Challenge why this specific look?
00:54:18I love things that are whimsical.
00:54:20That's my whole brand.
00:54:21I mean, Karasan, your charity, first of all, such an incredible inspiration.
00:54:26It definitely contextualizes this character.
00:54:28Right.
00:54:29But there was a lot going on.
00:54:32I don't personally think that you needed that train.
00:54:34I think it took away from the fluidity and the femininity of the look.
00:54:39And what happens at the top?
00:54:40The top is out in the back.
00:54:43The jacket was, of course, not going to come off, but...
00:54:46Oh, wow.
00:54:49Turn around.
00:54:50Ugh.
00:54:51Wow.
00:54:52It's more breathtaking without the jacket.
00:54:55You are a costume designer.
00:54:57And I think that you are really able to also give us really high fashion runway moments that live out of a film, a stage, a TV.
00:55:05Yes.
00:55:06And tonight just wasn't that.
00:55:08One thing's for sure.
00:55:10Your looks will never, ever be boring because you want every single one of them to be spectacular.
00:55:19Yeah.
00:55:20From the shoes, to the dress, to the jacket, to the train.
00:55:25It just needed to be harnessed.
00:55:27Thank you, Karasan.
00:55:30See, that's what I don't like about it.
00:55:35You want her to change who she is.
00:55:37If it's working for her, it doesn't make any sense.
00:55:41Be you, but can you be someone else?
00:55:43Yeah.
00:55:44Designers, we have a lot to talk about.
00:55:46We'll call you back when we're ready.
00:55:55Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:55:58Okay, so tonight proved to be particularly challenging.
00:56:02When you can do whatever you want to do, it can be really, really hard to find even, like, a point to start.
00:56:07Yeah.
00:56:08But why don't we start with our favorites tonight?
00:56:10Bishmi, Laurence, and Rami.
00:56:13The three all had a very precise point of view.
00:56:16Mm-hmm.
00:56:17Rami, he can cut a dress on bias.
00:56:20God.
00:56:21Like a few others.
00:56:22The craftsmanship of that, no side seams, absolutely flawlessly draped around the body.
00:56:29It was classic, but he brought something fresh to that archetype.
00:56:33Yeah.
00:56:34Does anybody want to say anything about Laurence?
00:56:36I'm really blown away by her skill.
00:56:38This skirt, I think she stumbled upon her new signature.
00:56:42Yeah.
00:56:43But I do think something inside her needs to break free a little bit.
00:56:46We haven't seen it all yet.
00:56:48There is more that she has to bring out.
00:56:51Let's talk about Bishmi.
00:56:53I think Bishmi has an innate understanding of streetwear, what is trending.
00:56:59I completely agree.
00:57:00I feel like tonight, when I drive home, I'm going to still be thinking about Bishmi's look.
00:57:04Right.
00:57:05I don't know how he engineered that skirt and how that heaviness did not pull that chiffon down.
00:57:11It looked like architecture.
00:57:13Mm-hmm.
00:57:14Do we know we're a winner?
00:57:15Yes.
00:57:16Okay, let's move on to our bottom two designers.
00:57:21Unfortunately, Praje and Carassonne, which is a bummer for me to be talking about both of them.
00:57:27I know.
00:57:28Let's start by talking about Carassonne's.
00:57:30You know what?
00:57:31You're going to go first this time on both of them.
00:57:33Please.
00:57:34Who are we talking about?
00:57:36She almost said screw you.
00:57:37Did you hear her?
00:57:38She goes screw you.
00:57:39I did not say screw you.
00:57:40She goes screw you.
00:57:41Please.
00:57:42For me, Carassonne has to learn how to edit down her process.
00:57:46And I don't think she is there.
00:57:48And this was a perfect example of putting everything into one look.
00:57:54It just, it was too much information.
00:57:56It was too fantastical.
00:57:58I don't really know how you say that.
00:58:01There is no gene.
00:58:02There is no short.
00:58:03There is no skirt.
00:58:04There is nothing you can put on the bottom of that that would make that jacket work.
00:58:07I don't know.
00:58:08If I took that jacket out of that context and I said, that's Alessandro Michele for Gucci,
00:58:14you would be like, oh, yeah, maybe.
00:58:17If I told you I am George Clooney, would you say, oh, yeah, maybe.
00:58:22In the real world, designers have fantastical designs.
00:58:29It was not a fantasy.
00:58:30It was not a fantasy.
00:58:31I'm sorry.
00:58:32It was a circus.
00:58:33I mean, we have to talk about projects also.
00:58:35I really do appreciate that he wanted to push himself.
00:58:38And I think that there were some nice elements here.
00:58:40But in Ivory, my mom got married in this in 1981.
00:58:44And that's fine, but this is 2023.
00:58:47It's hard because so much of what he's shown us has ended up in the top.
00:58:50Certain designers are finding their groove, and I feel like Praje seems to be a bit stuck.
00:58:55I'm not confident he's going to fight his way out of it.
00:58:58Listen, he wanted to surprise us.
00:58:59He did.
00:59:00Yes.
00:59:01It ended up surprising us.
00:59:02In not a good way.
00:59:03In not a good way.
00:59:04I mean, which of these looks between Praje and Karasan could you see walking down a runway today?
00:59:13Oof.
00:59:14None.
00:59:15If you had to choose one.
00:59:17If they were like, Nina, you have to put one of these on the cover.
00:59:19Why me?
00:59:20Ask somebody else.
00:59:21Which one would you put?
00:59:23I mean, this is what we're here for.
00:59:26So we all agree we know who's going home.
00:59:29Let's get him back out here.
00:59:38Bishmi, Laurence, Rami.
00:59:42You all showed a crystal clear point of view and truly delivered on high fashion.
00:59:49But unfortunately, only one of you can be the winner.
00:59:52The winning look tonight gave us a glimpse into the future.
00:59:56And it took our breath away.
00:59:59The winner is...
01:00:05Bishmi.
01:00:09Congratulations, Bishmi.
01:00:12I'm trying to get to somewhere to show you guys a collection.
01:00:15Just a few more challenges to go.
01:00:17Rami and Laurence, you are also in.
01:00:22You can all leave the runway.
01:00:25Congratulations, everyone.
01:00:27I feel amazing.
01:00:28It's getting me closer and closer to what I want to get to, which is the finale.
01:00:32And I hope they're able to see with this look that this is just a sneak peek of what my collection would consist of.
01:00:38Well?
01:00:40Bishmi.
01:00:41You won!
01:00:42It feels good, but I'm definitely not trying to allow myself to get big-headed.
01:00:48Congrats, booze.
01:00:49Yay!
01:00:53Two of our favorites.
01:00:54This is hard.
01:00:56Praje and Karasan.
01:00:58We appreciate both of you delivering on impressive runway moments tonight.
01:01:02Unfortunately, one of you will be in and one of you will go home.
01:01:08Karasan, your look was a little too much fantasy and not enough fashion.
01:01:14Praje, the shape of this look ultimately felt dated.
01:01:18This was not easy.
01:01:21You two bring a lot to this competition.
01:01:28Karasan, I'm so sorry, but you are out.
01:01:40Praje, that means you are in.
01:01:43Congratulations.
01:01:46You can lead the runway, Praje.
01:01:52Karasan, you are amazing.
01:01:54I think ultimately it came down to the need to edit.
01:01:58But you gave us looks that wowed us, that we will remember.
01:02:02And we are so sad to see you go.
01:02:05Karasan, I just wanted to say how much you have inspired my own journey in my life.
01:02:10Yeah.
01:02:11I hate to see you go, but I'm glad that we'll get to see you forever and ever and ever.
01:02:15I never thought I'd be back on this runway.
01:02:19I was at home with my mom and she just loved the show.
01:02:23I was like, mom, should I do it?
01:02:25And I promised her I would.
01:02:28Two weeks later, my mom transcended.
01:02:32So I think my mom set this up for me.
01:02:36It's been a blessing to be back.
01:02:38I really enjoy this Project Runway family.
01:02:41And I just want to thank you.
01:02:43Thank you, Karasan.
01:02:44Bye.
01:02:45I want to give a hug.
01:02:46Can I?
01:02:48Thank you so much.
01:02:49This experience was so special.
01:02:52It was like a full circle journey for me to come here and to meet my sister's circle and my baby bros.
01:03:01I knew it was a sign for me to come here, you guys.
01:03:04I know my mom wanted this for me.
01:03:06Oh, I love you too.
01:03:08Love you too.
01:03:10Your mother is so proud.
01:03:12You're going to be so amazing.
01:03:14I hope you feel really good about everything you did here because I think it was incredible to watch.
01:03:19Yes, thank you.
01:03:20Look, season one to season 20.
01:03:22It's amazing.
01:03:23All right.
01:03:24I love you guys.
01:03:26I love you.
01:03:27Head to the workroom, clean up your space and good luck with everything.
01:03:28All right, thank you.
01:03:29You're welcome.
01:03:30Sometimes you just have to walk on faith.
01:03:33I was able to talk about my beautiful mother and everything that she meant to me and everything that she's given to me.
01:03:41And what I'm trying to do with the Fashion Fairy Godmother really started with my parents.
01:03:47And so to be able to share all that, this journey has been just very special to me.
01:03:54Watch the Project Runway After Show right now and on demand wherever you stream Project Runway.
01:04:03Next on Project Runway All Stars.
01:04:05For your challenge, you'll create one look that showcases two styles.
01:04:12Ooh.
01:04:14This entire competition I've been in a double bind.
01:04:16One minute my skirts are too long doesn't mean they're too short.
01:04:18I do one black outfit, I'm basic.
01:04:20No, not basic.
01:04:21I feel like I'm damned if I do, I'm damned if I don't.
01:04:23Two styles, one look.
01:04:26I get these mixed messages.
01:04:27I would be in a full-blown spiral.
01:04:29We can't wait to see what you guys did.
01:04:31Oh, Lord.
