00:01Previously on Project Runway...

00:03Scream for help.

00:05For this challenge, Michael Kors sends you to a hardware store,

00:08not a fabric store, to get your supplies.

00:13This is looking so school play.

00:16Do you have enough of the hardware?

00:18I hope so.

00:19I don't know.

00:20I'm gonna have to move out of New York.

00:25Jay, what you did was truly amazing.

00:28Congratulations.

00:29You are the winner of this challenge.

00:31Jessie, your outfit was disappointing and uninspired.

00:36You're out.

00:38Amy, Holly and Alexis are left on the runway.

00:41Which one of them will be in and which one will be out?

00:43Holly, I'd love to work with you again.

00:45Okay, thank you.

00:46Alexis, I'm sorry, that means you're out.

00:49This is Project Runway.

00:51Yes!

00:52I am fashion. Look at me.

00:53It's cut or be cut.

00:55Just make it work.

00:56Great clothes.

00:57Great style.

00:58Three finalists will make it to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

01:01Well, I won't do anything to win.

01:03I will.

01:04But only one can be the winner.

01:06My weapon of choice.

01:08For these 16 designers, Project Runway is the chance of a lifetime.

01:13The winner of Project Runway will receive a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine.

01:17An opportunity to sell their line on bluefly.com.

01:20A $50,000 technology suite to create, design and run their business from HP and Intel.

01:25And $100,000 from L'Oreal Paris to launch their line.

01:29Hurry up!

01:30I got spanked by Heidi and Michael.

01:44And I've learned my lesson.

01:46The hardware challenge judging was a massacre.

01:48I don't ever want to see a freaking hardware store again.

01:51The only thing that weighed heavy on my heart was I was in the bottom two with my roommate,

01:56Jessie.

01:57But someone had to go home and I was just glad it wasn't me.

02:00At the very beginning, it was sort of intimidating because everybody's so unique and different and

02:08cool in their own way.

02:10But now you sort of really see the humanity in people.

02:14She's an old soul.

02:15Like, I mean, I'm twice her age almost.

02:17But every day we learn something new about each other that we share in common.

02:22And, you know, she feels like a friend.

02:24If she were to be in and I were to be out, I mean, I would be happy for her.

02:28So I don't think there is like a hyper competition between us.

02:32That might change.

02:33We're like the Victoria's Secret wonder bra.

02:36We lifted each other.

02:37It's really cool that the four of us are still together.

02:39I mean, the four of us have a completely different point of view.

02:43Being safe, again, just, I mean, at least I'm being consistent.

02:47That's one thing.

02:48But I was really hoping that something would have stuck out, you know, by now.

02:52What does him always say to you?

02:54Trust your God.

02:55Oh, my viscera.

02:58Which part of your body is that?

03:00I don't know.

03:01I was looking for my viscera for two days.

03:04Good Lord, baby Jesus.

03:07All right, y'all.

03:09Let's get out of here.

03:10Let's go check it out.

03:11Let's get it.

03:12Parsons, here we come.

03:14Well, there are only nine of you left.

03:24Jay, you won the last challenge, which gives you immunity and you cannot be eliminated.

03:30The competition is getting tougher and you need to bring your best designs to every runway.

03:36Starting with this challenge, the winner will no longer receive immunity.

03:41Anyone could go at any time.

03:43There's so much pressure at this point.

03:45You know, there's only a few of us left and it's starting to hit everybody.

03:49Tim is going to meet you on the top of Atlas to help you channel your natural creativity.

03:55Good luck and I see you on the runway.

03:58Bye.

03:59Bye.

04:00We're all thinking what's going to happen.

04:02It might be an eco challenge.

04:04It might have something to do with Central Park or the view from the roof of Atlas.

04:08We don't know.

04:09So we're all excited to find out.

04:10Good morning, designers.

04:11Good morning.

04:12I am delighted to introduce you to Philip Carrion, celebrity hairstylist for Garnier.

04:17Nice to be here.

04:18Designers, I want you to consider where you are.

04:22There is not an environment anywhere that personifies man-made more than this one.

04:27But for this challenge, we're stepping away from the man-made.

04:30We're going back to nature.

04:32The inspiration for your design will come from one of the four natural elements.

04:37Earth, air, fire or water.

04:40And to tell you more, I'm turning things over to Philip.

04:44At Garnier Fructis, natural elements are fused with the latest in beauty technology.

04:49Find your inspiration in the natural world.

04:51And the Garnier team will create the perfect complementary hairstyle to stand up to whatever force of nature you create.

04:58Good luck.

04:59Jay, you won the last challenge.

05:01So you get to choose any element you want.

05:03Earth, air, water, fire.

05:05Which one?

05:06Air.

05:07Air.

05:08Now eight cards.

05:09Two cards containing each of the four elements.

05:12Is that clear?

05:13So as I call your name, you'll come up and choose one of them.

05:16Alright?

05:17Maya.

05:20So Maya has chosen water.

05:23Jonathan.

05:24When there's so few designers now, every decision, every cut, every shopping trip and mood is so important.

05:32Jonathan has air.

05:33It's definitely do or die time.

05:35Ben, you're next.

05:37Ben has chosen water.

05:38Mila.

05:39I'm an earth sign.

05:40My designs are not what somebody would usually equate with earth.

05:45That said, I would try to think outside the box.

05:47Anthony's on fire.

05:48Yeah.

05:49Amy is on fire as well.

05:50So Emilio has earth.

05:51That means Seth Aaron, you have air.

06:04Instantly I think of happy blue , so I'm totally like confused.

06:08Alright, let's head back to the work room and sketch.

06:12Alright designers, you have 30 minutes to sketch.

06:24Then we're going to mood where you will have a budget of $150.

06:28I start sketching and water is just too fluid for me.

06:31So the first thing I think of are sharks.

06:34So I've decided that I'm going to do a suit.

06:37It does take extreme tailoring to, you know, put a suit together.

06:41But I still feel that I need to show them another side of my design style.

06:45I selected earth and Monique is of color.

06:51So I think I can do something to compliment her skin tone.

06:55So I go with a strapless dress that I am going to create.

06:59Some draping and some volume.

07:02For me this challenge may prove to be difficult because I'm just trying to work through the design

07:08to make sure that it encompasses everything I want to present.

07:12Failure is not an option at this point, so onward and upward.

07:17When I thought about water I thought about the ocean and I thought about sirens.

07:29And sirens are kind of like vixens of the water.

07:32So my whole look is going to be based on this woman sort of like coming out of the water.

07:38And she's very serene.

07:44I'm going to do a very Jonathan thing which is creating my own textile.

07:49I'm going to sew layers of fabric together and then cut away at them at different levels

07:53to play with opacity which gives you the impression of airiness.

07:57I want her to look like she's enveloped in a swirl of uncontrollable laughter.

08:01All right designers, we're going off the mood.

08:10All right designers, your time starts right now.

08:16I want to do something with kind of like a tornado-like feel to the garment

08:20by doing, you know, bold stripes and a lot of movements.

08:25Ten minutes remaining.

08:26I'll go with both of these.

08:31Can I get a couple yards of that?

08:33You got it.

08:34Thanks sir.

08:39How much is this?

08:40Three yards?

08:42It's a little bit.

08:43Is that your gray pellet?

08:45Different for you.

08:47I don't think of red when I think of fire.

08:49It kind of goes very deep for me because my pastor,

08:53somebody deliberately burned his house to the ground.

08:55I thought about the remains and like it was dark and smoky.

09:00I'm trying to think of that spot.

09:01Just be you though.

09:03You know what?

09:04Bring this one with me.

09:05Five minutes remains.

09:08This green here.

09:10Okay.

09:13Oh, is it that?

09:14Is this the crinoline, Jessica?

09:16It is.

09:18All right designers, that is time.

09:20Look at how much money I have.

09:21150.

09:22Thanks.

09:23Thank you mood.

09:24Thank you mood.

09:25Thank you mood.

09:30I have my air concept.

09:33I'm going to do midnight.

09:34Midnight air in New York.

09:36Perfect.

09:37It's black.

09:38There's stars.

09:39And I can do whatever I want.

09:42So suddenly I'm happy.

09:43Full speed ahead.

09:46My element is fire.

09:48Inspiration is really about building a structure and the inside of it is where the explosion is happening.

09:58All right designers, you have until midnight tonight for this challenge and precious little time tomorrow.

10:03I think everybody is starting to get a little bit nervous because it's only a few of us so we really have to do better than we've done before.

10:13Even Anthony has been surprisingly quiet for a change.

10:17The concepts are a little bit ambiguous or vague in a way and I think it just makes all of us feel really nervous and unsettled.

10:29Amy you're awful quiet.

10:31Well I'm doing something that's really annoying right now.

10:34The competition is getting harder especially with managing time and so I need to step it up and make sure that what I'm doing I'm capable of constructing with the amount of time allotted.

10:44I think I'm definitely taking a gamble with this challenge because like I'm doing a suit in a day.

10:54Are you as sick of being safe all the time as I am?

10:57Being safe is a big old question mark.

11:00What is it?

11:01What are they waiting to see for me that I'm not showing them?

11:04The week that I was like I'm sick of being safe.

11:06I'm taking a chance.

11:07I was in the bottom two.

11:09Okay.

11:10Like no more of that.

11:11That chance didn't work.

11:12I think it's getting to the point where these designers don't think I'm a threat and that is so untrue.

11:19They just are completely blind to the fact that I'm going to win this whole contest.

11:23For this challenge we can really do a lot because it's all about innovation so I'm creating kind of a unique silhouette.

11:39I'm just really nervous because it's very possible that it's not going to be well received.

11:45Hello everybody.

11:46Hey guys.

11:47Hi everyone.

11:48I have Phillip carry on with me.

11:49Hi.

11:50Hi.

11:51Hi.

11:52We're heading down to the Garnier salon so we can do some consultation.

11:56We get to meet with Phillip from Garnier for this challenge.

11:57I think the hair we're going to do is just going to take us to the next level.

11:58I want her to look like she's enveloped in laughter.

11:59I think it would be nice to do big chunky curls.

12:03I'm going to use the flexible control just because we'll get a nice, soft, beautiful, flowing look out of her hair.

12:08I want this to feel kind of like a whirlwind.

12:09I'm going to take a little bit of this full control spray and just give you an idea because it's nice and strong.

12:16I like that nice shape.

12:17Yeah.

12:18I'm out big to the point that comes accentuated way out here.

12:19It's very aerodynamic and it's defying gravity.

12:20We need to get texture into her hair.

12:21You can see it already wants to look at her hair.

12:22I'm going to use the flexible control just because we'll get a nice, soft, beautiful, flowing look out of her hair.

12:26I want this to feel kind of like a whirlwind.

12:27I'm going to take a little bit of this full control spray and just give you an idea because it's nice and strong.

12:32I like that nice shape.

12:33Yeah.

12:34I'm out big to the point that comes accentuated way out here.

12:39It's very aerodynamic and it's defying gravity.

12:41We need to get texture into her hair.

12:44You can see it already wants to stand out a little bit.

12:47Thanks a lot, Phillip.

12:48You're welcome, Phillip.

12:49That's great.

12:50Hi, everybody.

12:51I'm here to check in with you.

12:52And I'm going to start with Mr. Jonathan.

12:55How are you doing?

12:56My inspiration was actually the lightest side of air, which I thought to be laughter.

13:00That's a nice thought.

13:02Exactly.

13:03And so what I'm doing is I'm cutting away different levels to reveal different colors.

13:07Oh, this is created by you.

13:09All right, I'm going to let you get to work because this is really stunning.

13:13Seth Aaron, you've achieved a lot.

13:16Talk to me.

13:17So my inspiration is sitting in my apartment at night looking out at the city.

13:21I want to give it the appearance of wind.

13:24What I love about this is that, true to you, it really pushes the envelope, but it's believable.

13:31Amy.

13:32Hi, Tim.

13:33How are you doing?

13:34What I really want to do with my element is fire.

13:37To have a kind of contained chaos.

13:39Okay.

13:40So I'm pretty much creating virtually like a bowl around her.

13:45After I spoke to the hair guy, I realized that it would have been great if I created this bowl and had her hair kind of fill it.

13:53I think that would be amazing.

13:54It's a really interesting idea.

13:55I know.

13:56I have to say.

13:57And I'm just really...

13:58Here's my advice.

13:59Let this just distill within you and see where it takes you.

14:04Thanks, Tim.

14:05Thank you, Amy.

14:06Ben.

14:07Hey, Tim.

14:08You're making progress here.

14:09Talk to me about your design.

14:10I got the element water and the concept is inspired by great white sharks.

14:20And I'm using these kind of like fleshy tones to kind of adhere to the concept of like the anatomy.

14:26I'm worried about your work in particular because I feel like the subtleties and nuances aren't being picked up by the judges.

14:34That's why I went the route of doing a suit rather than a dresser.

14:37For this concept, this is what it really demands.

14:41Okay.

14:42Thanks, Ben.

14:44Mila.

14:45Hi.

14:46This textile is a wow.

14:47My element is earth.

14:50And I decided to go with a sort of a mineral inspiration, mineral and metals.

14:55I'm doing a sleeveless jacket and I'm just trimming it with this sort of gunmetal leather.

15:00It's going over this sheer wool knit.

15:02I'm going to do it like a long turtleneck.

15:04And then pant, I'm just doing a stretch wool.

15:07I think I'm going to go with a fuller pant.

15:09It's good counterpoint to have a fuller pant.

15:11What I would be most mindful of is how it all lines up and make adjustments accordingly so that it's just harmonious.

15:18So Maya, what are you doing?

15:20Okay, so my element is water.

15:22I want it to look like a sea creature, like she's sort of coming out of water.

15:26I was just thinking glamorous, classy, sophisticated, modern.

15:31That's who you are.

15:32Yeah.

15:33I have every confidence you can pull this off.

15:35Maya, thank you.

15:36Thank you very much.

15:37All right, designers.

15:38It's hard for me, but I'm going to leave you for the night.

15:40Okay?

15:41Use your time well and make it work.

15:45It's modulars.

15:50These fabrics are so pretty.

15:54I like the way it lays, like it's laying to you right here.

15:57You have a great shoulder line.

16:05Your seams are hitting exactly where I want them to.

16:07Like gloves.

16:08Yeah, it's like rubber gloves, huh?

16:10We got it?

16:11We got it?

16:12You're a big part of my inspiration.

16:13I just, I identify with pale people.

16:15I am expressing air in my garment.

16:18I'm just worried that the judges will think I'm being too literal.

16:22All right, let me see you walk like this.

16:23But my interpretation isn't necessarily air.

16:26It's actually laughter.

16:27Okay.

16:28We're good.

16:29Wow.

16:30That's insane.

16:31That's insane.

16:32And then I'll do a skirt on top of all that.

16:35My model fitting with Monique is going amazingly.

16:37She fit my bodice beautifully and we're working on the skirt.

16:41Oh, it's so pretty.

16:43I'm enjoying the spirit of the competition now.

16:46Ben's look is a great idea.

16:49I can tell that he had a great direction.

16:51But the trousers are just awful and are not doing anything for the model's crotch.

16:56And these are a little off-center.

16:58This is the first time that I've done pants and it's a little nerve-wracking.

17:01Allison's staying positive and that's all I can ask for right now because I don't need any more pressure.

17:07I want you to look like you're caught in a tornado.

17:11That's cool.

17:12Perfect.

17:13Can you hold this, like, up?

17:15See if your hair was filled completely in there.

17:18It would be so amazing.

17:20My shoulders are super broad.

17:22Even putting shoulder pads in it.

17:24You'll be a little bit 80s little Blade Runner.

17:27Pretty, pretty, pretty.

17:29Okay, sweetie pie.

17:31Aw.

17:32We're gonna go to Bryant Park together.

17:34See ya.

17:35See ya later.

17:39This is not a departure for me to use darker colors.

17:43And in case anyone didn't know, black, not only is it beautiful, it's officially presidential.

17:49Whoa, wowzers.

17:50Holy.

17:51You're color blocking the paint, aren't ya?

17:53Yeah.

17:54And I like it.

17:55I actually love it.

17:56What is it?

17:57Air?

17:58Oh, no.

17:59Oh.

18:00No, I just...

18:01Fire.

18:02Fire.

18:03You just made me feel like .

18:05My fellow designers have really taken creative liberty with this challenge.

18:10You know, I understand their loose interpretation, but there's a lot of dark, opaque, heavy designs.

18:17It does look like that.

18:18I mean, it's like smoke or steam or...

18:20Okay.

18:21No, I get it now.

18:22A couple of people are using gray and black for various elements, so it's hard to tell sometimes.

18:33All of the designers are in a state of panic at this point.

18:36Guys?

18:37Yes?

18:38I feel like everybody is behind.

18:39I spent most of the day drafting.

18:40I'm nervous about time.

18:41I still have a whole another sleeve to put together, and I have to finish the hems, but

18:53it makes me feel a little better that everyone else is freaking out as much as I am.

18:57Everyone is really pushing the envelope and really creating huge shapes and huge statements.

19:10We are all scared to death that there's no way these garments are going to get finished.

19:18I think I got a little ambitious.

19:22Everyone did, though.

19:23It's been a stressful day because for something that I thought was going to go pretty smoothly,

19:29it's not.

19:30But everything's cut out, and I have no fabric left, and it's like I couldn't even start over

19:35if I wanted to.

19:49Hello.

19:50Hi.

19:51I just got married to my husband Bobby.

19:53We've been together for a little over a year and a half now, and we've never been apart

19:58longer than like three days.

19:59How are you doing?

20:00I'm good.

20:01Yeah?

20:02I miss this laugh, you know, like little things.

20:06It's hard, but it's all for the right reasons.

20:11I love you.

20:12I miss you.

20:13I miss you too.

20:14Bye.

20:15Okay.

20:16Bye.

20:17Bye.

20:22I haven't felt this tired.

20:24I don't know when was the last time.

20:26You can do it, Emilio.

20:33Oh, this is going to be a brutal day.

20:35I have to make sure that that structure that I'm making stands.

20:40I'm definitely a risk taker.

20:42That's what it takes to be a true innovator.

20:44Do you wish that you hadn't designed something as complicated?

20:47If it turns out, then I won't regret it.

20:49If you're not willing to take that risk in the first place, you're not going to be the

20:52next great American designer.

20:54Leave is for.

20:56Return is for.

20:57Let's make it work.

20:58Keep walking.

21:11This is the first time in this competition I'm pushing it to the last second.

21:17I don't like to actually have to cut a pair of pants with two hours to go and hope the

21:22hell they function the way they should.

21:25How much longer you got, Ben?

21:26I have no idea.

21:28I'm trying to finish as quickly as possible.

21:30I still have to put sleeves into my jacket and put linings in.

21:34It's not just a couple little things.

21:35It's daunting.

21:39I finished half an hour before everybody else did.

21:41And I see Ben still has a lot to do.

21:44Can I offer you some help?

21:45You're done?

21:46Yeah.

21:47He's been struggling, so I just wanted to be nice to him and help him.

21:52Okay.

21:53Yeah.

21:54Okay.

21:55Jay, he's one of my dearest friends here, and it's nice to have that support system.

21:58You're the best.

22:02How is everyone?

22:04How do we look?

22:05You look like you're in the middle of a make it work moment.

22:08Yes, we are.

22:09You can say that again.

22:10I'm about to send in your models.

22:12You will have an hour each to send them to the Garnier hair salon and the L'Oreal Paris makeup room.

22:17It is the Garnier challenge, but you do not have more time for hair.

22:21Use the bluefly.com wall.

22:23All right, everyone.

22:24All right.

22:35Oh, it looks so pretty.

22:36Not bad.

22:38Mila.

22:39Usually, the morning of a runway show, I just have hems and pressing, and I've got that plus a whole pair of pants to finish.

22:47I'm so paranoid about, like, making them too short, you know?

22:50I'm definitely feeling nervous.

22:52I don't like this feeling of the fear of the unknown.

22:55What do you think?

22:56Strong.

22:57I haven't even gotten to the pants yet.

23:01Break this and make it so it splits on the outside.

23:04Set there in garments.

23:06I just don't see women saying, oh, my God, I would love to be seen in that, simply because his clothes can be a bit intimidating.

23:14I'm definitely concerned for Amy.

23:16I know she can do this design.

23:18However, I don't know if she had time to engineer it.

23:24She's mother earth daughter.

23:26Cool.

23:27So we're New York City night.

23:28The whole idea of wind and this is flowing.

23:31It's really pretty.

23:47I'm very nervous about the dress because it's not standing correctly at all, and the hair is very messy, and it's not wrapping all the way around her.

23:57I definitely have reasons to be concerned right now.

24:00All right, designers, let's go.

24:01I don't know why Amy is choosing in this moment to give her model, Harry .

24:09She needs a narrow fare up there.

24:11That's what she needs.

24:19Designers.

24:20Yes, sir.

24:21You're still in here sewing.

24:22Yeah.

24:23Details, details, Tim.

24:24Is anyone else as worried as I am?

24:26Everybody is in the same state of panic.

24:29I don't see any other completed garments anywhere in the room.

24:33I guess there's a little comfort in knowing that everybody else is panicking as well, but it's still unnerving.

24:38Here's my weapon.

24:40As much as I want to wow the judges, I'm already seeing flaws, and that's the part that worries me.

24:46It's one of those challenges that we just all wanted to do something that reflected us, but I think we all got really ambitious on this one and just did things that may or may not work for us.

24:55Perfect.

24:56I feel sick.

24:57Did you decide?

24:58Designers and models, we're going down to the runway right now, so follow me, please.

25:03Well, this is the time to just go with your gut and go 110% because we are at a point where everyone is strong and anyone can go home.

25:12Anthony, Emilio.

25:14We're down.

25:15Amy.

25:16Amy.

25:17No, Ben.

25:18Yeah, I'm still here.

25:19Hello.

25:20Hi.

25:21Welcome to the runway.

25:22As you know in fashion one day you're in, and the next day you're out.

25:38For this challenge we ask you to create an innovative look that was inspired by the four natural elements, earth, air, fire, and water.

25:47The parameters for this challenge were very broad so that you could show us your interpretation and vision without limitation.

25:55And I really look forward to seeing what you've done.

25:57All right, let's meet the judges.

25:59First we have top American designer Michael Kors.

26:02Hey guys.

26:03Fashion director for Marie Claire magazine Nina Garcia.

26:07Hello everyone.

26:08French fashion designer Roland Moray, whose designs have been worn by Victoria Beckham, Scarlett Johansson, and Cameron Diaz.

26:15Welcome.

26:16Hello.

26:17Hello.

26:18We will score your designs as they come down the runway.

26:21One of you will be named the winner and one of you will be out.

26:25Jay, you won the last challenge which gives you immunity and you cannot be eliminated this week.

26:31Okay, let's start the show.

26:34When I see my dress walk down the runway, she looks like water.

26:38The ruffles are flowing really beautifully.

26:40I really imagined this siren, this vixen of the water.

26:44And I really tried to make a look that spoke that.

26:47And I'm really happy with it.

26:49It's totally me.

26:50My look was really strong.

26:55It's bold.

26:56It exuded air.

26:58And just the whole idea of tornado.

27:01And I just love the way it feels and the way it looks and the colors.

27:05I feel proud that I did three pieces in a very short amount of time.

27:14The concept was strong and I did have a sense of direction.

27:17I think I stayed true to myself.

27:19Whoo!

27:20I love the look of my dress.

27:23Christina comes down the runway like a Clydesdale.

27:26She really knows how to walk and move in my clothes.

27:31And that makes me so excited.

27:36I feel really good about this look.

27:38Everything came together at the last minute.

27:40I really hustled and I feel good about the pants.

27:43I wanted to show them that I can work with texture

27:46and that I can work with less contrasting elements in my design.

27:53My final product is absolutely breathtaking.

27:57If you look under romance in the dictionary,

28:00you would see a picture of this look.

28:02And Carrie looks like an angel.

28:04I wanted this garment to give you pure joy when you looked at this dress.

28:10And I feel like I achieved that.

28:12The dress comes out and it's not standing correctly at all.

28:18And the hair is very messy.

28:20But I think the concept is very different and unique.

28:24I absolutely do think the dress expressed my voice as a designer.

28:33It's a beautifully put together dress.

28:36The fit is impeccable.

28:39And most importantly, Monique feels beautiful and strong so she can sell the dress.

28:48I put down the runway exactly what I wanted to do.

28:52There's no second thoughts on was it the right choice for me?

28:55Are the judges going to like it?

28:57I don't know what they're going to think.

28:58All I know is I love it.

29:00If I call your name, please step forward.

29:07Anthony.

29:09Emilio.

29:10Jay.

29:11If I have called your name, congratulations.

29:14Your scores have qualified you to move on to the next round.

29:17You can leave the runway.

29:20The rest of you represent the highest and the lowest scores.

29:23One of you will be named the winner.

29:26And one of you will be out.

29:31Let's bring out your models.

29:37Mila, tell us about your look and your inspiration.

29:39My inspiration is earth.

29:41I was inspired by rocks, stones, minerals.

29:46I've seen such ambitious work from you.

29:49And suddenly you kind of threw it away on something that I think is very normal.

29:54And I do see that you're continuing this geometric thing.

29:58But at a certain point now, I've seen the arrows.

30:01I've seen the bullseye.

30:02It's kind of the one trick pony.

30:05I didn't understand this.

30:06This is like another designer suddenly turned up and took over your body.

30:10The only thing that is really interesting is the vest.

30:13The pants and the sweater are just completely random pieces that you can buy in any store.

30:20And I think you choose the wrong direction.

30:23You should go a showpiece.

30:25And you didn't make a showpiece.

30:26That's what the catwalk is about.

30:28Seth Aaron.

30:29My element was air.

30:31Every night when I stare out in New York City, it's beautiful to me.

30:36So I emulated air twisting and on the back it's gusting.

30:41When I think about air, I don't automatically think about black leather.

30:45But what you've done in one day is astonishing.

30:49Thank you so much.

30:50She came out and I thought that she had such a great look top to toe.

30:54And I just designed with emotion for this.

30:56So I'm happy with it.

30:57You are very true to yourself.

30:59And when we see something, it's very consistent coming from you.

31:02And I think that's very important for a designer.

31:06Now, the pants.

31:07Is this boots?

31:08No.

31:09This is a metallic denim.

31:10And these are actually strips going on.

31:13You have a new idea of trousers.

31:15It's really interesting.

31:16Some big designer will be jealous of them.

31:19Coming from you, that means quite a bit.

31:22Maya, tell us about your look and your inspiration.

31:25My inspiration was water.

31:26I used a stretch wool.

31:27And I channeled a little bit of old Hollywood glamour with a Veronica Lake hairstyle.

31:33I think the dress is chic.

31:34The cowl is nice in the back.

31:36That's a good look for a catwalk.

31:38It's easy to achieve and it's personal.

31:41Thanks.

31:42Nina, what do you think?

31:43I think this is a perfectly beautiful dress, actually.

31:46However, what worries me about you is that you are very referential.

31:50It's always drawing from another designer's point of view.

31:54This challenge, it's Nina Ricci.

31:57Do you see that?

31:58Well, not particularly.

32:00I mean...

32:01I think everything that I do really represents me as what I call my own, for sure.

32:05But the day you put a collection on the catwalk, they will say, oh, it's inspired by, and that will destroy you.

32:13Amy.

32:15My element was fire.

32:16I wanted to incorporate her hair into the garment, building a kind of contained chaos.

32:21It looks like a cat in a baby sling.

32:24She looks like she's a barmaid serving her hair.

32:28Like she's growing hair out of her chest.

32:29It's just weird.

32:31It was supposed to be tighter.

32:32Let's get rid of the hair.

32:33Can we just do that?

32:34Just dump it.

32:36Can I tell you something?

32:37Yes.

32:38It's so much better without that in there.

32:41It's okay, guys.

32:43I said much better.

32:44I didn't say great.

32:45I'm not impressed.

32:46I'm sorry.

32:47I think you got caught up in your concept.

32:49You couldn't step back and say, wait a second, does this work?

32:53Or is it just plain odd?

32:55Is it plain bizarre?

32:56You have to really analyze what's your level as a designer.

33:00Just achieve what you can achieve and be proud of it.

33:05Ben, tell us about your look and your inspiration.

33:07My element was water.

33:08I wanted to go in the direction of the wildlife that lives in the water.

33:12The great white was the first animal that actually came into my mind.

33:16And I really wanted to do a suit because I haven't done one yet.

33:19I had no idea what it was other than an ill-fitting suit.

33:23And now when you explain it, you had to put the shark's teeth on her sleeves?

33:28Is that supposed to tell me, oh, she's a shark?

33:31I will say that the hair and the makeup, I get this kind of subliminally elegant shark out of it.

33:40All I can think about is if you don't know how to make a suit, don't make a suit.

33:46It looks like the first suit you've ever made.

33:50I think this is a real mess.

33:53It looks to me as if she's wearing underwear over the pants. It's bizarre.

33:59Come on, Ben. A jockstrap pant? It's wacky.

34:03Ben, you have made in the past some beautiful clothes.

34:07Do you think that this represents you as a designer?

34:09I think I bit off more than I could chew.

34:11Jonathan, tell us about your look and your inspiration.

34:15Sure. I started with the element of air.

34:18This is my idea of laughter.

34:20Laughter is transparent, and laughter also envelops you.

34:23I started with creating my own textile.

34:26I wanted to keep it in the tones that actually occur in Carrie naturally.

34:30I love the fact that you played up the model's skin tone,

34:35because she really has beautiful skin tone.

34:38I think it's an amazing work. Amazing draping. It's quite fantastic.

34:43I love the textile. I think her hair and makeup is definitely best in show.

34:48Carrie, what do you think about the dress?

34:50I was in absolute awe of the sheer detail that Jonathan put into it,

34:54and the fact that he took my skin tone into consideration.

34:58I was very, very pleased with it.

34:59Pale understands pale.

35:01Okay, we've heard what you had to say.

35:04We're going to have a little chat, and then I'm going to call you back.

35:07You can leave the runway.

35:09Okay.

35:14Okay, let's talk about the designers with the highest scores.

35:17I think the one who achieved the most is Maya.

35:21That girl controlled from A to Z, and I really like that.

35:25The entire aesthetic was well done.

35:28All the right choices.

35:29Yeah. Yeah.

35:30But she's being inspired by something that is already done.

35:33I want to see more of her.

35:35I'm not sure if she knows yet who she is.

35:38Who she is.

35:39I'm curious to see what she will do next.

35:44Let's move on to Seth Aaron.

35:45He just really showed in this challenge what good of a tailor he really is.

35:49There was something beautiful about the back of that jacket.

35:53He's got a signature.

35:54His clothes talk for him.

35:56He can leave the room, you know he's there.

36:02Let's move on to Jonathan.

36:04The color was fantastic on her.

36:07Really beautiful.

36:08It was so poetic, the way he matched her skin tone to that blush.

36:14It was perfection.

36:15But it's a romantic, and that's quite beautiful.

36:18But hey, I'm French.

36:21Now let's talk about the designers with the lowest scores.

36:25We had a lot of big mistakes up there.

36:28Like Ben, for example.

36:29He's never made a suit.

36:30He had no idea what he was doing.

36:32And that jockstrap trouser.

36:34I mean, come on.

36:35And then you pointed out the little shark's teeth, which I had not noticed.

36:40That killed me.

36:41He's been a good designer.

36:43So this is definitely very odd for him to do.

36:49Let's move on to Amy.

36:50This was weird.

36:51She picked something that was, quite frankly, more ambitious than she really knew how to achieve.

36:56She just got stuck with her concept.

36:59And she ended up with a mess.

37:01A really weird looking mess.

37:03It's almost like she's trying too hard.

37:08Okay, let's move on to Mila.

37:11This was super boring.

37:12Oh, my God.

37:13That was kind of Mila designing an outfit for a mall walk.

37:17You know, what is worse than someone like Amy who is trying to step outside the box?

37:22Or someone who is doing a tracksuit, basically, to go to the mall in?

37:27Me too.

37:28This challenge was like, I can't do my geometry, architectural, white and black.

37:32Oops, what am I going to do now?

37:34So, does this mean that unless it's crisp, black and white, she's totally lost?

37:39I mean, she might be.

37:40I'm not sure, but she might be.

37:41Okay, so have we made our decision?

37:45I think so.

37:46Okay, let's bring them back out.

37:47The six of you represent the best and the worst.

38:02One of you will be named the winner.

38:05And one of you will be out.

38:12Seth Aaron, you're in.

38:14You can leave the runway.

38:23Jonathan, congratulations.

38:26You are the winner of this challenge.

38:28Thank you so much.

38:30I miss you more.

38:31I thank you.

38:32I adore your work.

38:33Your dress, especially the top, was gorgeous, romantic, and yes, very airy.

38:39You pushed yourself and it showed.

38:41You can leave the runway.

38:42Congratulations.

38:47I won!

38:49Winning this challenge gives me the power to get to Bryant Park.

38:52Wow!

38:53Congratulations!

38:54Your first win!

38:56Okay, Jonathan.

38:57You're good.

38:58You're headed in the right direction.

38:59Just keep winning now.

39:02Maya, you're in.

39:04You can leave the runway.

39:05Thank you very much.

39:08Mila, you're in.

39:10You can leave the runway.

39:16Ben, Amy,

39:18one of you will be out.

39:23Ben,

39:24a good suit has to be meticulous.

39:27Yours was an amateur mess.

39:29And that jockstrap panty tail was unflattering.

39:33The shark's teeth were bizarre and pretty much came back to bite you.

39:38Amy, your look was out there and not in a good way.

39:41We encourage you all to push the envelope,

39:43but the final result still has to be beautiful, elegant fashion.

39:48Amy?

39:49Amy?

39:58You're in.

40:00You can leave the runway.

40:01You can leave the runway.

40:02I'm sorry, Ben, that means you're out.

40:13If he doesn't.

40:15Thank you so much for the opportunity.

40:17I appreciate it.

40:19Even though my time is up, I wouldn't have traded in for anything in the world.

40:24Oh, no.

40:26I'm gonna miss you.

40:28It's a great experience.

40:29I wish all of you the best.

40:31You're brilliant designers.

40:35Ben, I feel sick.

40:37We're gonna miss you terribly.

40:40I appreciate it.

40:41So I have to send you the work room to clean up your space.

40:43All right.

40:44This isn't the last you'll hear from me.

40:46I'll be around.

40:47I'm still gonna be doing what I love to do.

40:48It's one of those passions that you just can't get rid of.
