00:00Creating a streetwear look that speaks to your brand as a designer.
00:04I just don't think like a cool girl would dress that way.
00:08I definitely respect Christian's opinions, but I think my look looks amazing.
00:13I've been on the bottom the last two challenges, and Vijay keeps implying that I cannot do this without my brother.
00:19I have to prove to the judges that I am here to stay, that I am here for a reason.
00:23Girl, after last week, we both need to redeem ourselves.
00:26Seriously, you get a little in your feelings when the criticism comes.
00:31No, I'm taking it in.
00:32It does not feel good to get clocked once again by the law roach.
00:38Congratulations, Belania. You are the winner.
00:41Okay, thank you.
00:43Yuchin, Joan, unfortunately, you were our least favorite looks.
00:47Joan, I just think that you made something that looks so old.
00:50She could go praise the Lord in this outfit.
00:52Yuchin, I am so mad as who over this look because you are a streetwear designer.
00:57I almost want to, like, jump out the chair and beat you up for making this look.
01:03A stake for the winner is $200,000, a spread in Elle magazine,
01:09and a life-changing mentorship with the CFDA.
01:12This is Project Runway.
01:14Joan, Yuchin, we made our decision.
01:24Joan, we asked you to take us to the streets, but you took us to the sanctuary.
01:30I'm feeling bad.
01:32My luck spoke to who I am as a designer,
01:35but maybe I should have listened to Christian and Jesus.
01:39Yuchin, this was your challenge to shine, but give us nothing new.
01:45I'm sorry.
01:46I feel so disappointed because streetwear is supposed to be my challenge.
01:50I feel like I disappoint everyone, especially Law.
01:53I'm sorry.
01:57Joan.
01:58Mm-hmm.
02:04I'm sorry you're out.
02:07Yuchin, that means you're in.
02:09You can leave the runway.
02:10Sure.
02:10Oh, no worries, sweetie.
02:13Oh, no, it's okay.
02:16It's okay.
02:17Sorry.
02:19We're so sweet.
02:20You're so sweet.
02:25Aw.
02:25Aw.
02:26The babies.
02:27I just wanted to say we all think that you're a great designer.
02:31And, you know, this was not your week.
02:33This was not your challenge.
02:35You will go back to your business.
02:36Yes.
02:37You dress amazing women.
02:38And I thank you guys for this opportunity.
02:41I am one of the older designers.
02:43You know, I'm 60.
02:44I'm fabulous.
02:45Yeah.
02:46You are.
02:46You can definitely walk out of here with your head up high.
02:50Yes.
02:52Get to hear a bit of a bit.
02:54A bit of a bit.
02:55Mwah.
02:56Thank you, Heidi.
02:57All the best to you, Joan.
02:58It's been a pleasure.
02:59Bye.
02:59Bye, John.
03:00Bye, guys.
03:01Bye.
03:02You better work for 60, Mama.
03:04Okay.
03:07She's coming from my job.
03:12I just feel so bad that Miss Joan is going home.
03:16I take it personally.
03:17I feel like John has to go home because of me.
03:19It's okay, baby.
03:20It's okay.
03:22Aw, Miss Joan.
03:24I'm going home.
03:25Stop it.
03:26No.
03:26What are you apologizing about?
03:28You are just starting your career.
03:31Oh, my Lord.
03:32Yuchen, come on now.
03:34You have another opportunity to show them who you are.
03:38It's been a pleasure meeting all you guys and working with you.
03:44And you're so talented.
03:46I don't want to cry.
03:48Not my Aussie.
03:50I love her.
03:52Miss Joan, you are the joy of the season.
03:56Saying bye to Miss Joan is one of the hardest things to do.
04:02She is one of those people that I connected in a deeper level.
04:06She's a very hard-working person.
04:07She's kind.
04:09And I'm going to miss her.
04:10It makes my heart full to even be in the room with you guys.
04:16Miss Joan.
04:17She's got that just love in her soul.
04:20And she's offered me a lot of love and a lot of safe space.
04:23And I'm going to miss my little safe space.
04:28Christian.
04:28Joan.
04:29They said I took them to church, Christian.
04:32Not to the street.
04:34See, that's because you weren't there at Moves with me to stop me from buying that bathroom.
04:39Call me anytime, okay?
04:41I sure will.
04:42Project Runway saved my life, y'all.
04:46Joan, Joan, Joan.
04:47I came in this competition to prove to myself that I deserve to be here, that I'm strong, and I'm proud of myself.
04:56Miss Joan, child.
04:58Mm, mm, mm.
05:00I left it all on the runway.
05:06Shine, shine, shine, shine.
05:11Flex with it.
05:12Don't get it.
05:13No limit, yeah, you know I never stop.
05:16It's six of us now, so the competition is getting steep.
05:20I must make it to the final five.
05:23Oh, God.
05:24Wow.
05:25Oh, my gosh.
05:26I could use a nice.
05:26Oh, my God.
05:28How do you feel?
05:29I feel okay.
05:29I feel like I didn't really get a win.
05:31Congratulations.
05:31And I'm like, I don't really feel like it.
05:35Last challenge, Lost said that Belana had an issue with her body language when she's being criticized.
05:39When you are being critiqued, your body language gets a little nasty.
05:43I agree with you, but I have to tell the foundation first.
05:52This is my creative process.
05:56This is my creative process.
05:57She's like,
05:58I don't know if that's what I was like.
06:04Is that how I look?
06:06Belana, I love you, girl, but we're going to work on the attitude, girl.
06:09Hey, don't like people tell me what to do.
06:12Are you guys ready for the next challenge?
06:16I'm the only one that hasn't won.
06:17Yes, I'm the only one who hasn't won.
06:20I was so close last week to take that win home, which means now I can just taste the win for this next week.
06:29So leaving this challenge, you're going to win it.
06:36Let's see if he can do it without his brother's help.
06:39Let's go.
06:41Let's go.
06:42Go.
06:44Christian.
06:45Oh, Heidi.
06:47How are you feeling?
06:48Like I'm ready for some horsing around.
06:53Well, giddy up.
06:55Let's bring in those designers.
06:57Woo.
06:58Wow.
06:59Oh, my God.
07:01Bringing me back.
07:01Oh, my God.
07:03Oh, he needs to step stool.
07:05That's a big horse.
07:07Chiquito.
07:07This is going to take a hot minute.
07:09Oh.
07:10Oop.
07:11I missed it.
07:12Ye to the ha.
07:13You really get your groin out there.
07:16Yeah.
07:17Yeah.
07:18Chiquito.
07:19Well, as you know, in fashion, one day you're in, and the next day you're out.
07:24What started out as 12 designers is now down to the dirty half dozen.
07:29Mm-hmm.
07:30Mm-hmm.
07:31For this next challenge, it's all about Western flair.
07:35Not only is pop culture obsessed with all things country, from Yellowstone to the queen
07:40bee herself, Cowboy Carter, but runways across the world are saddling up to fresh takes on
07:47classic country Western styles, fabrication, and design.
07:49So for this next challenge, you will be tapping into the zeitgeist and creating a look that
07:56is your take on Western chic.
07:59Western is one of the challenges that Antonio and I are so excited to have in the competition.
08:04I mean, I basically live with a cowboy.
08:07I love my cowboy hats.
08:09I love my cowboy boots.
08:10His closet, it's literally all Western.
08:12Chaps, like, leather jackets.
08:14This could be by wind.
08:16You have sunrise to sunset to complete your look.
08:20Half of us are gone, and now another one-day challenge is going to decide the final five.
08:27The anxiety levels are ramping up, like...
08:30All right, good luck, designers.
08:32Christian, should we mosey?
08:35Thanks, divas.
08:36Mwah!
08:43Oh, God.
08:45This place.
08:46I'd love, like, a burgundy leather.
08:48I know that a lot of designers are going to the leather section because, yes, it's a Western chic fashion challenge.
08:56And to me, why would I go there if all of you are already going there?
09:01Next.
09:02You're doing it.
09:04How is this Western?
09:05You'll see.
09:06Oh.
09:07Silent killer.
09:08Like, I just don't understand how vinyl can be Western.
09:12Sway, sway, sway, sway.
09:13This week, the pressure is on.
09:15I have to win a challenge.
09:18What am I going to do?
09:19So far in the competition, I've used a lot of color.
09:21I've used a lot of print.
09:22And I'm like, you know what?
09:23I'm going to shock everyone, and I'm going to do white.
09:26I can do a mini skirt with French.
09:28I can do my jacket crop with French.
09:30Quanto vale esta?
09:31It was, like, calling me.
09:32I was like, ah.
09:35Okay, this is cool.
09:36I don't know too much about Western culture.
09:39Do you know what a lasso is?
09:41Lasso, no.
09:42This looks like Christmas.
09:44Do not get this.
09:46This challenge is very personal for me,
09:49because Antoni and I are from northern Mexico.
09:52When I was three, I remember coming into America in our cowboy boots.
09:57So for this look, I really want to lean into a Western indigenous vibe.
10:02It's in my roots, and it's in my DNA.
10:04And that's why I need to find the perfect fabric,
10:09because I have to deliver.
10:12I love my fabric.
10:20Your fabric loves you.
10:23Guys, I'm putting the interfacing by the muslin, okay?
10:27Getting into the workroom,
10:28I automatically just go straight to cutting my fabric,
10:31because I really want to figure out
10:33what I'm going to make for under this coat now.
10:35I got this beautiful leather, but I don't have much of it.
10:39So I have to be really careful in how I use this leather.
10:43And at this point, I have to make something so innovative and amazing
10:47to be able to win this challenge.
10:48Oh, ****.
10:55Clearly, you can interface on leather.
10:58What?
10:59Oh, ****.
11:01I just ****ed up my fabric.
11:03It burned it.
11:03Stop!
11:05Stop.
11:06Oh, no.
11:06Like, I don't know what to do.
11:07I'm freaking out.
11:08I have no backup.
11:09Holy ****.
11:14It burned it.
11:16Holy ****.
11:17I haven't really, like, messed up
11:19throughout this whole competition,
11:20and then this happens to me.
11:21I cannot believe I just did this.
11:25He interfaced almost all his fabrics for some reason,
11:29but leather already has a body,
11:32so why would you interface a leather?
11:35Wait, that looks cool, though.
11:37Do that as a top.
11:39It could even be a dress, bitch.
11:41The burning on Jesus' leather
11:44is giving kind of an armpit kind of energy.
11:48Okay, I'm going to be honest with you.
11:50It looks like pit stains.
11:54Because of the coloring.
11:55Are you going to treat it of some sort?
11:58Mm.
11:59Looks like boob sweat.
12:01Oh, ****.
12:03I trust Ethan's judgment,
12:05so am I screwed at this point?
12:07There's nothing I can do.
12:09I just have to make it work.
12:12This is where we come from.
12:14Here in life.
12:15Hello.
12:16Hi, everybody.
12:17Ooh, should we go here?
12:19I'm doing these front panels.
12:21I am making a eating-wear leather gown.
12:25She literally is going to look like a python.
12:27We love, like, a little snake in the grass.
12:30I grew up on a farm and-
12:31Did you really?
12:32You grew up on a farm?
12:35I grew up on country western films,
12:37and I literally grew up on a farm.
12:39And these films surround themselves
12:41with powerful female energy,
12:43and I'm trying to pull that energy into my clothes.
12:47Yeehaw.
12:49I'm making a two-piece denim western-inspired set
12:52with a cotton button-down.
12:55Similar to what you just said.
12:57It's not.
12:57I promise it's not.
12:58It's going to look totally different.
12:59All right.
13:00Are you feeling good?
13:01You won the last challenge.
13:02I feel like a disciplined child, though.
13:05What did Loss say?
13:06My body language is disrespectful
13:07when I'm getting a fatigue,
13:08so I have to be sharp.
13:11After getting called out about my attitude last week,
13:14it's very, very important to me
13:15to show the judges that I'm listening.
13:18I need to leave it in the workroom
13:21and not bring it on stage.
13:24We're fringing?
13:25Yeah.
13:26You're going to fringe this whole thing?
13:29For this challenge,
13:30I want it to be a little unexpected,
13:32but still western chic.
13:34Yes.
13:34I am making a futuristic vinyl fringe dress.
13:39How are you going to do this?
13:41Hmm.
13:41That's a good cross shirt.
13:44I'm going to do a leather jacket crop.
13:46It's going to have a mini skirt
13:47that I'm going to fringe.
13:49Don't you think that it's, like,
13:50kind of a little bit done?
13:54That's right.
13:55It's just white leather jacket,
13:57a white leather skirt.
13:58But that's why I want the details
13:59to really stand out.
14:01I'm the only one that hasn't had a win.
14:02I've been on the top,
14:03but this close to winning.
14:05And I know that the techniques
14:07that I have in my brain
14:09can really take this look
14:11to the next level
14:12and win this challenge.
14:13What did you do?
14:14So it was a mistake.
14:16I tried to interface my leather
14:18and it burned.
14:19I think maybe the burning technique
14:20is kind of interesting.
14:24Maybe you do more to the skirt.
14:27Thank God.
14:30So I'm making this dress.
14:31Yeah.
14:32I wanted to make it all sequenced.
14:34Mm-hmm.
14:34And I'm going to have, like,
14:35you know, a little bit dripping on here.
14:37I can buy this at the mall right now.
14:39I just wanted to take this shining part
14:41of Western, like, you know, culture.
14:43I get it.
14:43Like a performance S.
14:45It's like Dolly Parton.
14:46Do you know who that is?
14:47No.
14:48Oh, God.
14:51Are you all right?
14:52Need some water?
14:53No.
14:55I guess she's a very big country star.
14:58Yeah, she is.
15:00Here's my thing.
15:02You don't have to make a dress.
15:03You make jackets all the time.
15:04Why don't you make a cool jacket
15:06with fringe all over it?
15:07And you love the mini sexy skirt.
15:09And, like, why can't it be more you?
15:11I have to stick on dress.
15:15Fine, goodbye.
15:16Good luck.
15:17Last challenge,
15:19the judges didn't like my pants and hoodie.
15:21So I'm doing something different
15:23than making a dress.
15:24I've made my decision.
15:26I just hope I have enough time.
15:28But I will make something on the dress, though.
15:30I'm just telling you.
15:31I'm warning you.
15:32Okay.
15:35You have to win this one.
15:36Everybody has one except me.
15:38Yeah.
15:38I've been close.
15:39I know you've been really close.
15:41How many times?
15:42I've been close two times.
15:43I was in the top twice.
15:45It's been very exciting
15:45to see my brother
15:46when he challenges.
15:47But I came into this competition
15:48thinking I was going to do
15:49better than him.
15:52Wow.
15:53I'm sorry to think
15:54Jesus is my biggest competition.
15:59Designer,
16:00there's a new sheriff in town.
16:02And there's only going to be room
16:04for one twin in this competition.
16:07Who would it be?
16:07Sherr, bitch.
16:08Who would it be?
16:09What is happening out here?
16:11Oh, my God.
16:13Water moments has to go
16:14at some point.
16:15So, is it today?
16:16What?
16:17Oh, my Lord.
16:17Ah!
16:18I think that dealing
16:19with one twin is very challenging
16:21and dealing with two twins
16:23is even more challenging.
16:24They should both go home.
16:28BJ can act bored all she wants,
16:30but she's going to wake up real quick
16:33when she's in the bottom.
16:38What is that wig for?
16:40It's a tumble wig.
16:41Girl, that's a wig.
16:42That's why somebody wig.
16:43It's a tumble wig.
16:44It's a tumble wig.
16:45It's a tumble wig.
16:46It's a tumble wig.
16:47Oh, my Lord.
16:51It's not working.
16:52I feel really bad for Yushin
16:54because I think that
16:55he does not have a clue
16:57what Western is.
16:59I mean, he didn't know
17:00who Dolly Parton is,
17:01so if you don't know
17:01who Dolly Parton is,
17:02you do not know
17:03what Western is.
17:04I'm interested to see
17:05how he pumps that out.
17:07I don't understand
17:07why he's doing a gown
17:09and not something
17:10that's in his element.
17:11You say he's pushing himself.
17:13I have hit a wall.
17:15I feel stuck
17:16and I'm moving so slow.
17:18I am so thankful
17:19for my second chance,
17:21but I need to prove
17:22I belong here.
17:24Hello.
17:25Hey, Christian.
17:26Hello.
17:27Does anybody want to ride
17:28on my pony?
17:28Yes.
17:29Yes.
17:31Do I put it in the front
17:31or in the back?
17:32Oh, my God.
17:34Okay, give me my pony back.
17:36All right.
17:37Not for the pony.
17:38Okay, let's bring in your model.
17:40Pony.
17:41I don't know about the skirt.
17:45The top looks really cool.
17:46The skirt doesn't look cool yet.
17:48Can you, like,
17:49scrub?
17:49I didn't.
17:49Can it be, like...
17:50It's really defeating.
17:51Okay.
17:51Yeah.
17:52You burn it.
17:52I burn it.
17:54I love it.
17:55I mean,
17:55I think the whole look
17:56turned out so good.
17:58I cannot believe
17:59that this mistake
18:00might turn out
18:02to be the greatest mistake
18:03I've ever done
18:04in this competition.
18:05It's looking almost
18:06like a piece of bar.
18:07What about we have
18:08a lot of, like,
18:08fringe from the hat?
18:10To the floor,
18:10like that?
18:11Yeah.
18:12I think you should make
18:13your dress more interesting
18:14first.
18:15More interesting.
18:16Or you can add a jacket
18:17because it's boring.
18:19But I don't know
18:20how to make progress.
18:22Well,
18:22that's the challenge here,
18:25my friend.
18:26Mommy Christian is yelling
18:28at me.
18:28He wants me to make a jacket,
18:30but I don't really have time.
18:31Since we already have
18:32the base dress,
18:33it's time for me
18:34to think about,
18:35how am I gonna make
18:36this more Western?
18:37One question.
18:38Do you think this hat
18:39wore this hat?
18:41I don't care about
18:42your stupid hat.
18:43I care about your dress.
18:46Hmm.
18:47What is your story?
18:48I don't have a story.
18:50No,
18:50but you have to
18:51give them something.
18:52If I had to go
18:53to a Western event,
18:55I would make this
18:55for myself
18:56and put it on.
18:57That's all I'm going
18:58to say.
18:58Yeah, Christian,
18:59that's my story
19:00and I'm sticking to it.
19:00Does it get a shoulder pad?
19:04I think we can get a,
19:05we can give you
19:06a shoulder pad.
19:07Doing this challenge,
19:08I know that I want
19:09to create something
19:09unexpected and out
19:11of the box
19:11and what I'm doing,
19:13I think it's different,
19:15but it's a cool dress.
19:17BJ, you don't need
19:17any other accessories.
19:19Absolutely.
19:20You don't need any,
19:20no, get that bag
19:21out of here.
19:22You have a classic
19:23fringe dress.
19:25BJ's very proud
19:26of her look,
19:27but girl,
19:27I feel like she's
19:28going to be in the bottom.
19:29I feel like she thinks
19:30she thought
19:30outside the box,
19:31but I don't think she did.
19:33I think she made
19:34her model look like a box.
19:36Keep it simple.
19:39All right, designers,
19:40that's it.
19:40That's time with your model.
19:41Thank you so much, ladies.
19:44Love you.
19:45Love you.
19:46Less than three hours to go
19:47and then we're going home.
19:52How to make it interesting?
19:54How to make it interesting?
19:55Maybe give her an old-time
19:57like saloon girls bustle.
19:59Nah.
20:00Or like a really cool
20:01neck scarf.
20:02Scarve?
20:03Girl, I'm throwing you ideas.
20:05You either pick them up
20:06and run with them
20:07or you figure it out
20:08on your own.
20:09Okay.
20:10I think that Eugene
20:11is scared of this challenge.
20:12It is both out of his culture
20:14and he's been really shook
20:16up these last few challenges.
20:21I'm so tired.
20:22Literally, I've been cutting
20:23the fringe for like eight hours.
20:24I know.
20:25You have a two-day challenge.
20:26Yeah.
20:27For real.
20:27I'm pushing myself
20:29to the point of exhaustion.
20:31I know it's risky,
20:32but I hope that the judges
20:34will see the work
20:35that I put in.
20:36And maybe if they don't love it,
20:38they'll give me some grace
20:39to keep me from going home.
20:41Ethan's dress is similar
20:53to the dress that I made
20:55from the Boring Fabric Challenge.
20:58The judges don't like it
20:59when you show something
21:00that the other designers
21:01have already done.
21:02Jesus,
21:03I saw Ethan's dress
21:05and it kind of reminded me
21:06of the gray dress
21:07that I made for Luz, right?
21:09Maybe it's unintentional,
21:11you know,
21:11but I mean,
21:12what do you think?
21:13Well, well, well,
21:15the bitch is staring the pot.
21:19I mean,
21:20I think it's very him.
21:22Yeah.
21:22It's definitely going to stand out.
21:24What do you think about his stuff?
21:26Um,
21:27it's okay.
21:30I think it's important
21:31to be original,
21:32and if your work
21:34is referencing
21:35the work
21:36of your other competitors,
21:38then it means
21:38that you need to change that
21:40and you need to come up
21:41with something else.
21:42I don't want to cause drama,
21:43but I need to talk to Ethan.
21:46Okay.
21:47Are you going to be doing
21:48a lot of the crisscross detail?
21:51Mm-hmm.
21:51Because when I saw your dress,
21:53it kind of reminded me
21:54of the gray dress.
21:56Which one?
21:57The wool.
21:58His?
21:58No, my dress.
21:59Yours?
22:01What the f***?
22:02It's not similar,
22:03but it's kind of like
22:04the same idea
22:05where it's kind of like
22:06it has kind of like
22:07a cut out here.
22:08I think that Vijay
22:09is spewing bullshit.
22:11I don't agree
22:13that a full crocodile gown
22:15has anything to do
22:17with her
22:17wool mini dress.
22:19So when I saw it,
22:20I was like,
22:20I think I need to tell Ethan
22:22because the judges
22:23might call you out for that.
22:25Especially Nina.
22:25I was like,
22:26don't copy each other.
22:29Knowing in hell
22:30would I want to plagiarize
22:31your boring work.
22:32So buzz off.
22:33Today's the runway show
22:43and the pressure is on.
22:44We're so close
22:45to the top five
22:46and there's no room
22:47for mistakes.
22:48We'll see
22:49what happens
22:50on the runway.
22:54Jesus,
22:55who do you think
22:55is in trouble today?
22:57You.
22:58Me?
22:59Oh my God,
22:59why me?
23:00I don't know.
23:01I don't know
23:01what the judges
23:02are going to think.
23:02I know.
23:03It's very risky.
23:04It's risky for sure.
23:05I'm worried about Vijay.
23:06Well, I'm not really worried
23:07because I want her
23:08to be out of this competition.
23:09Model!
23:10The divas!
23:11Hey, girl!
23:13What's up, girlfriend?
23:16Hello.
23:17Hello.
23:17Hi, Priscio.
23:19Oh my God,
23:20you look so sexy.
23:23Let's see
23:23what's going on around here.
23:25Do you think
23:25the front fits perfect?
23:28I had to take
23:29this whole panel,
23:30remove it from the inside
23:32and put it over top
23:33to alleviate
23:34the boob space.
23:35My
23:36I usually work with.
23:37They're all fake.
23:38They don't move.
23:39And then when I lift that up,
23:41that'll relieve
23:41the boob tension.
23:42So like real
23:43in this whole competition
23:45has been like
23:46a journey.
23:48It looks cool.
23:51I mean, listen,
23:52I don't know
23:52what they're going to think
23:53because it's a wild card.
23:55Yeah.
23:55I just want you
23:56to be prepared.
23:57Oh, damn.
23:58I wanted to sell this
23:58before you came.
23:59Ah!
23:59The twins may live
24:01and breathe Western,
24:02but I'm coming off
24:03of a win
24:03and I finally know
24:04who I am.
24:05I'm not backing down.
24:06I'm coming for them.
24:07I just got to watch
24:08my body language.
24:09Antonio, please
24:10take off the glasses.
24:12I get it.
24:17So are you going to do
24:18the whole booby horn situation?
24:20Yeah.
24:21I decided to make
24:23this boob horn
24:24because I got inspired
24:27by Tibet culture,
24:29which is kind of similar
24:30to Western culture.
24:31In Tibetan culture,
24:33they put all these
24:34decorations on the boob horn.
24:36That means good luck.
24:37And I know the boob horn
24:38is screaming
24:39in the Western world.
24:40I think they're going
24:41to like it.
24:42You're going to be
24:42very, very slay
24:44on the stage.
24:45It's something.
24:50Yeah.
24:51She's very horny.
24:57All right, models,
24:58you guys can go
24:59to the Ulta Beauty salon now.
25:01We are back.
25:03Howdy, cowgirl.

25:06but I want it to be
25:06behind her ear.
25:07So if I were to go
25:08into an Ulta Beauty,
25:09do they provide
25:10makeup services?
25:12Every Ulta Beauty store

25:31That's time.
25:33Let's head to the runway.
25:37Hi.
25:39Howdy, Heidi.
25:41Hi, y'all.
25:41Hi, Heidi.
25:42Welcome to the runway.
25:43As you know,
25:44in fashion,
25:45one day you're in,
25:46and the next day,
25:47you're out.
25:48For this challenge,
25:49you had one day
25:49to create your take
25:51on Western chic.
25:52Let's meet our judges.
25:54CFDA award-winning
25:55stylist and image architect,
25:57Laura Roche.
26:00And joining us,
26:01a country music star
26:03and the first
26:03African-American female
26:05to be nominated
26:06for a Grammy
26:07in the country music category,
26:09Mickey Gaiten.
26:11Mickey, welcome.
26:12And executive vice president
26:14and creative director
26:15for Gap, Inc.
26:17and chief creative officer
26:18of Old Navy,
26:20Zach Pozen.
26:21Perfect.
26:22Oh, my God.
26:23Zach Pozen.
26:24I've seen that face
26:25on Project Runway
26:26so many times.
26:27This is not cute.
26:28He is very meticulous
26:29with craftsmanship,
26:31one of the best designers
26:32that I know.
26:33It's great to be back
26:34in the saddle here
26:35on Project Runway.
26:37No pun intended.
26:39All right,
26:40let's start the show.
26:40I nailed my look.
26:48It is Western
26:49and it's so chic.
26:51And this burn leather,
26:52what really was stressing me out,
26:54has turned into greatness.
26:56This burn is a technique
26:57that I would definitely do again.
27:00That is gorgeous.
27:01Like I'm ready
27:02for a country make.
27:03As I see my look
27:10go down the runway,
27:11I'm excited.
27:13I'm proud of it.
27:14My eye goes directly
27:16to the denim
27:17and the tan leather
27:19and the sharp point cutouts
27:21look really cool.
27:23I like it a lot.
27:24This one just gives me chills,
27:25like I'd wear that right now.
27:28Now hear me roar
27:29just like a thunder
27:30I love this.
27:35I love seeing it
27:36just snake down the runway.
27:39It's like Robert Calvalli
27:40from 10 years ago.
27:41I just wish it would fit
27:42better on the breast.
27:43It feels really good
27:44to see what I have accomplished,
27:46the styling and the detail.
27:48And it's fun.
27:49It's a moment.
27:50And if there's anything
27:51I know how to do,
27:52it's a moment.
27:53It seems like
27:54taking me to a country
27:55award show, honey.
27:56I'm feeling so proud
28:04of myself
28:05showcasing a piece
28:06that I put all my soul
28:08and intentions into it.
28:09What?
28:10That is stunning.
28:12I'm a fierce competitor.
28:13Don't underestimate me.
28:15Today is going to be tough.
28:16Mm-hmm.
28:17You're so good.
28:20Oh, yeah.
28:22Jump in and ride with me
28:25my vision
28:28to create something unexpected
28:29and not the usual
28:31Western chic fashion
28:32is very risky.
28:34Looking at all the creations
28:36on the runway,
28:37mine is different,
28:39but I'm keeping my fingers crossed
28:41that the judges will appreciate
28:42that I'm a designer
28:43who takes risks.
28:45It's like Casey Caldwell
28:46for prana.
28:47I don't understand that.
28:53Will we harm?
28:55As Lyriss is going
28:59down the runway,
28:59I feel so happy.
29:01She's totally rocked out
29:03and she looks so fierce.
29:05I'm very happy
29:05with the outcome.
29:10All right now.
29:12Mm-hmm.
29:12Oh, no,
29:12she's going to sell the garment.
29:14She's definitely
29:15going to sell the garment.
29:15I can literally read
29:17Mrs. Law's face
29:19just by him rolling his eyes.
29:20I can see that
29:21some of these designers
29:22are in trouble
29:23and I just hope
29:23I'm not one of them.
29:32Congratulations.
29:33That was quite the runway show.
29:35We scored your designs.
29:39Antonio,
29:40Jesus,
29:42Alania.
29:44You got our favorite designs
29:46this week.
29:46That means
29:53Ethan,
29:55Hugh Chin,
29:56and Vijay.
29:57You had our least favorite
29:58designs today.
30:00You can leave the runway.
30:01Come here.
30:02Let's take it.
30:08Gag.
30:09It's getting hotter.
30:11I'm really sad
30:12that the judges
30:13did not love what I made
30:14and the rest did not pay off.
30:16But I think
30:17I made something bold
30:18and I did not make
30:20something basic
30:21and literal
30:22like the other designers here.
30:24They definitely had
30:25the most, like,
30:27accessible
30:28pieces
30:29out of everybody.
30:30Yeah.
30:31I'm just surprised
30:32to be in the bottom
30:33because
30:34I know my look
30:35is really good
30:36comparative to, like,
30:37some of these looks
30:38that are so, like,
30:41there's got to be
30:42another word for boring.
30:43Like, I just don't think
30:44they're interesting.
30:44Like, if I can just go
30:45and buy them off the rack,
30:46I don't think
30:47that is interesting to me.
30:49So.
30:53We will see.
30:55Okay, let's bring out
30:56your models.
30:56Yes.
30:57Ah, Barbies!
31:00Stunning.
31:01Thank you so much.
31:03All right, Antonio,
31:03let's start with you.
31:04It is so special.
31:06I mean, wow.
31:07And to do this in a day
31:08and for that price.
31:09You kind of checked
31:10off the boxes for me.
31:11There's conchos,
31:12there's fringe,
31:13you're working
31:13with bow leather,
31:14and this band waistband.
31:18The top!
31:19The belt!
31:20The buckle was black,
31:21so I wrapped it in leather.
31:23Such a good idea.
31:24Did the braid.
31:24It's risque.
31:25It gives it the fashion edge.
31:27It's stunning.
31:28I'm Latino,
31:28so I needed to sex it up
31:29a little bit.
31:30Hey!
31:30I think that this outfit
31:32is absolutely beautiful.
31:34Latinos in country music
31:36have a very beautiful love affair.
31:38Vaqueros.
31:39Yep.
31:39The conchos,
31:40everything,
31:41there's a huge Latino movement
31:42in country music,
31:43and to see that
31:44and see that you representing that
31:46is absolutely beautiful.
31:48The styling is
31:49absolutely phenomenal.
31:52The hair choice,
31:53the makeup choice,
31:54really, really,
31:55really well done.
31:56Well, I think of you
31:56every time I style down.
31:59I mean, you should.
31:59I'm the best.
32:00I know.
32:03Okay, B'Elania,
32:04we're going to talk to you next.
32:06When this came out,
32:07I knew exactly it was you,
32:08which is great,
32:09because it's really showing us
32:10that you have
32:11a strong point of view.
32:12It's just absolutely stunning.
32:14Love the authenticity.
32:15Didn't feel like
32:16you were trying to interpret
32:17it as anything else
32:18but what it is.
32:19It was very genuine
32:20and honest,
32:21and I just thought
32:21the lines and everything
32:22were so beautiful.
32:23Just love it so much.
32:24You just did a great job.
32:25Thank you so much.
32:26The leather or suede material,
32:28can she just turn?
32:29Let's do it.
32:29It's great.
32:30I mean,
32:30there's kind of complicated
32:31things happening here, right?
32:33Yes, it is.
32:33That are kind of
32:34working together.
32:35You're playing with
32:35different proportions,
32:37layering,
32:37volumes,
32:39transparency,
32:40graphic,
32:41and it kind of all works.
32:43I feel like you always find
32:44this way
32:45of putting things together
32:47that,
32:48in theory,
32:49don't really work
32:50in a way,
32:51but it totally works,
32:52and that makes it new again,
32:53so I love it.
32:55Jesus.
32:57Hello.
32:57It is stunning.
32:59From every angle,
33:00every detail,
33:01that coat is just singing,
33:03you know,
33:03and that it's see-through,
33:04and when she walked,
33:05it was so beautiful,
33:06and all this fringe
33:07she put on there.
33:08The coat is really,
33:09really spectacular.
33:10I love going to vintage stores,
33:11and this looks like
33:12it could have easily been
33:13from the 70s
33:15that someone wore that
33:15to Woodstock
33:16and just kept it
33:17in the most pristine condition.
33:19What is the top?
33:20Is it a print?
33:21Is it molded?
33:22So creating this kind of,
33:23like, beautiful texture
33:24was a mistake.
33:26I like the mistake of it.
33:28Same.
33:29Same.
33:30That kind of spontaneity
33:31in design process
33:33is when the most
33:34interesting discoveries
33:35get found,
33:36like the mess that works.
33:37I thought that
33:38that was not a mistake.
33:39It's just so beautiful.
33:41Like, out the gate
33:41when I saw it,
33:42I loved it instantly.
33:44It's just amazing.
33:45Like, it was definitely
33:46one of my favorites.
33:47I mean, all of y'all
33:47are my favorites.
33:48That's why you are here.
33:51I have to say
33:53this was a tough one.
33:54Yes, it was.
33:55Very tough.
33:55Picking the winner here
33:56because really,
33:57you guys all
33:59did a fantastic job.
34:00The winning look
34:01not only felt true
34:02to country roots,
34:03it pushed the envelope
34:04of what Western chic
34:06looks like.
34:08Congratulations.
34:09This could be my win.
34:11My first win, finally.
34:16Jesus,
34:17you are the winner.
34:18Ah!
34:21I want to share this
34:23with you because
34:24you're the winner.
34:25Oh, you guys are so cute.
34:27This looks for us.
34:29Well, thank you so much.
34:32Jesus wins.
34:35At this point,
34:36I am frustrated
34:37because I am the cowboy
34:38and Jesus is not the cowboy
34:40and I wanted my first win,
34:42finally.
34:43Oh, Jesus.
34:44Congratulations.
34:44You can leave the runway.
34:47This was a tough win,
34:49you know?
34:50I really wanted Antonio
34:51to take the win.
34:52I won.
34:53Woo!
34:53Yeah.
34:54And then I really thought
34:55he was going to win.
34:57I mean,
34:57your win is his win, too.
34:59I know.
34:59Here we go again.
35:01Jesus won another challenge
35:02and I'm pretty sure
35:04that it's going to make him
35:06really, really cocky.
35:08Wow!
35:09I'm so relieved
35:10I made it to the top five
35:11and I'm just climbing
35:12to the top.
35:14But BJ,
35:14girl,
35:15I think your time
35:16might be over soon.
35:23Ethan,
35:24BJ,
35:25and Eugene,
35:25you created
35:27our least favorite designs.
35:28All right,
35:30let's bring out
35:30your models.
35:36Ethan,
35:37let's start with you.
35:37Tell us about your look.
35:39I created my own
35:40evening wear
35:41avant-garde
35:42snake in the grass.
35:44When it first came out,
35:44it kind of felt like
35:45I'd seen this.
35:46However,
35:47seeing it in front of me
35:48right now,
35:48it's impeccably made.
35:50I thought the dress
35:52really is stunning.
35:53I think it was the ties
35:55that threw me off
35:56personally.
35:56I don't know
35:57if that's dark brown
35:58or black,
35:58but had it been
35:59something more
36:00in the tone
36:01of the skins,
36:02that would have
36:02elevated it a little
36:03bit more
36:04and made it look
36:05even more expensive.
36:07And there's something
36:08to me that's going
36:09on with the booth
36:10that's not quite
36:11flattering.
36:12It's too narrow.
36:12That's what pushed
36:13you out of the top
36:14three.
36:15The styling is really
36:16good.
36:16I love the cowboy hat.
36:17I love the drama
36:18with the tail.
36:19And it does feel
36:19country, right?
36:20Yes, it absolutely does.
36:21You miss the top
36:22three by just a few
36:23points.
36:23It's a showstopper.
36:25I'm not mad at it.
36:26V.J. C.
36:28The judges know
36:29that my work
36:30is not like your work.
36:32Okay, Hugh Chin,
36:33can you tell us
36:34about your look?
36:34I want to bring
36:35this excitement
36:35on the wrong way.
36:36In a little drama
36:37and when she's
36:38walking on the wrong way,
36:39there's like...
36:39Like a nipple tussle.
36:40Right.
36:41So it's all
36:42about the excitement.
36:42What I'm looking for
36:44in this country
36:45western fashion
36:45is the authenticity
36:47and I just don't think
36:48that that was executed
36:50in this.
36:51I don't understand
36:52how you are
36:54a streetwear designer
36:56and you gave us
36:57an evening dress
36:58and a really bad
37:00evening dress.
37:01I don't think
37:01it fit her that well.
37:02If you're going to play
37:04with the satire
37:05and if it's going to be
37:06something that's about
37:07like horny disco,
37:08nasty couture,
37:10then it has to be
37:10like weirder and stranger
37:12and more perverse.
37:14Thank you, Zach.
37:15I feel like you just
37:16went for something
37:17so nutty that I'm like,
37:20did you think
37:20this was a winning look?
37:22The taste level here
37:24is beyond.
37:26Beyond.
37:27Beyond good
37:27or beyond bad?
37:28Beyond bad.
37:29Yeah, okay.
37:30We hate the dress.
37:31We hate the dress.
37:33We hate the dress.
37:35Okay, Vijay,
37:36let's hear about your look.
37:37For this particular challenge,
37:39it was really intentional
37:40to kind of like
37:41go on a different direction.
37:43What is it going to be
37:44in the future
37:45to see what
37:47Western fashion is?
37:48So let's start
37:49with the good.
37:49The good thing about you
37:50is that you know
37:51a woman's body.
37:52The way you cut
37:54that curve
37:54to make her waist
37:56look small
37:56in the exact place
37:58it should
37:58and using that nude
38:00material was brilliant.
38:02Everything else
38:03is such a mismatch
38:04and so confusing.
38:07Yeah, this was
38:08a miss for me.
38:08This looked like
38:09a Project Runway nightmare.
38:11It didn't make sense
38:12to me.
38:13Western chic,
38:14I'm just not
38:14getting that here.
38:16Vinyl doesn't
38:16say modernity to me
38:17or futurism.
38:18It's kind of
38:19postmodern.
38:20You know,
38:20it's like it's been there.
38:21We've been there
38:22since the 60s.
38:23We asked for country chic.
38:25You gave us country shit
38:26and I'm not gonna
38:27hold that back.
38:28I think you were
38:29trying to like
38:30try something different
38:31and the things that
38:32like trust your gut,
38:34it's always
38:35100% correct.
38:36Thank you for
38:37all the feedback.
38:38Of course.
38:39Both twins are
38:40in the top
38:41and I'm in the bottom.
38:43This is embarrassing.
38:44And now I might
38:46go home.
38:47This cannot be
38:48my ending.
38:49We have a lot
38:49to discuss
38:50and sadly
38:51one of you
38:51will be out.
38:53You can all
38:53leave the runway.
38:54Thank you so much.
38:58Well,
38:59it's really now
39:00between Vijay
39:01and Yuchen
39:02because Ethan
39:03is safe.
39:04He was our number
39:05four today, right?
39:07He made
39:07tiny mistakes
39:08that kept him
39:09out of the top three.
39:11Yuchen
39:12going for two horns
39:13on the breasts
39:14and like bedazzling
39:15her from head to toe
39:16or not even enough
39:18plastic friends
39:19for me to make
39:21it that weird.
39:22It's like
39:22not the moment.
39:23No.
39:24Last challenge
39:25I was on the bottom.
39:26It took some confidence
39:27away from me.
39:28I've been questioning myself.
39:30If I got the chance
39:31to stay in the competition
39:32I have to be able
39:33to shake that off.
39:34Hopefully
39:35they give me that chance.
39:37There was absolutely
39:37nothing redeeming
39:39about it.
39:40Nothing.
39:40The accessories,
39:41the necklace.
39:42Terrible.
39:43And then he just
39:43bedazzled it everywhere.
39:44Put the necklace on the hat.
39:45I have that hat
39:46from Etsy by the way.
39:47I know you do.
39:48I do.
39:48I saw you.
39:49Everybody who went
39:50to Beyonce's
39:50tour had that hat on.
39:51They did.
39:53He lost his confidence though.
39:55We've all lost
39:55our confidence before.
39:57But this
39:58has like lost the plot.
39:59Vijay.
40:01I mean she brought
40:01something that
40:02didn't feel chic at all.
40:03And the key to good
40:04western
40:04it has to be authentic.
40:07Anytime that it's
40:08anything else
40:08it seems like
40:09it's making fun
40:10of what
40:11western culture is.
40:13It looked like
40:13a really bad
40:13costume party.
40:14It really did.
40:15I hate it.
40:16You would never
40:17wear that.
40:17No.
40:18This is recycled fashion
40:20and it should be
40:21recycled.
40:22All right.
40:22Let's bring them
40:23back out.
40:24See you later.
40:25Bye.
40:25Bye.
40:30Yuchen, BJ, and Ethan
40:33we've made our decision.
40:35I don't think
40:38of nervous
40:39for myself
40:40however
40:40it's a tight game
40:42between Vijay
40:43and Yuchen
40:44and Yuchen
40:45he's been a really
40:46good friend
40:47in this competition
40:48so
40:49I want Vijay
40:50to go home.
40:53Ethan
40:53you're safe
40:54you can leave the runway.
40:56Thank you all so much.
40:57Eugene, BJ
41:03one of you will be in
41:04and one of you
41:05will be out.
41:07I know my confidence
41:08has been shaken
41:09but
41:10I just hope
41:11the judges
41:11decides to keep me
41:12in the competition.
41:14I'm scared.
41:15I did everything
41:16that I can
41:17to stand out
41:18in this competition.
41:19I've waited
41:19for this opportunity
41:20for so long
41:22and I can't go home yet.
41:27Next time
41:28on Project Runway
41:29you will be making
41:31a look for women
41:32and men
41:33who struggle
41:33with eczema.
