00:00Previously on Project Runway...

00:02Top 5.

00:03You'll be making a look for women and men who struggle with eczema.

00:08It should be comfortable on their skin, and it needs to produce a jaw-dropping reveal.

00:13This is gonna be bananas.

00:15Everybody here has won a challenge. I haven't won. I've been this close. I'm like, this is my challenge.

00:21I don't know about the silver.

00:23It's a bit effeminate. I really like the design.

00:27Antonio and Vijay, you made our two favorite looks on the runway.

00:32Antonio, congratulations. You're the winner. You had our favorite look this week.

00:37I finally win!

00:40I think you being in the top is ludicrous.

00:43You didn't even have a reveal at all. What the ?

00:46Pelania, Jesus, both of your looks failed as a reveal.

00:50And even worse, you failed your client.

00:53You're both out.

00:56Wow. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:59What the ?

01:01A stake for the winner is $200,000.

01:06A spread in Elle magazine.

01:08And a life-changing mentorship with the CFDA.

01:11This is Project Runway.

01:13It's Project Runway.

01:14Tonight, you're both out.

01:26I'm in shock.

01:29Me and Jesus, we're the two that got two wins.

01:32This is out of control.

01:34I'm literally in lots of words.

01:38I've performed so well in this competition.

01:41I think I also delivered something nice on the runway.

01:44And I had a reveal.

01:46So I'm so confused as of why BJ is not sitting in my spot right now.

01:51I'm sorry.

01:53But that is until someone convinced us otherwise.

02:03What the ?

02:05Hello.

02:06I think you're both really talented and worked really hard.

02:11I know you did, right?

02:12I convinced the judges that you both should stay.

02:18Oh, baby.

02:30Oh, I'm not going home.

02:33Ah.

02:34Yes.

02:35If it wasn't for Christian, you both would be getting my offidas in today.

02:40I don't think we should get rid of either of them.

02:42Really?

02:43They both won challenges.

02:44They're both talented.

02:45And then only three to the finale.

02:47I think it's a great idea.

02:48No, you can't pick me up.

02:52I'm not going to pick you up.

02:54This is so fun.

02:55I'm so excited that my dream is still alive.

02:58And I have never been more motivated to make it to the finale than I am right now.

03:02Good luck.

03:03Thank you so much.

03:04Good luck.

03:05This is great work.

03:08Is this going home?

03:10Oh, my God.

03:12I don't know.

03:14Bitch, I'm also in.

03:16I'm also in.

03:17Ah!

03:18Ah!

03:19Ah!

03:20Ah!

03:21Ah!

03:22Ah!

03:23Ah!

03:24Ah!

03:25Ah!

03:26Christian said that he wants to see both of us in because we've made great work.

03:30So we're both safe.

03:31Are you kidding me?

03:32I want you to go home.

03:33Christian.

03:34What are you doing?

03:35Shut up.

03:36The bitch is back and I'm not going home.

03:39It's on.

03:40Oh, God.

03:41Get out of my way.

03:42Tots.

03:43Tots.

03:44Tots.

03:45Tots.

03:46Tots.

03:47Mama.

03:48Wow.

03:49Hello, designers.

03:50Hi, Heidi.

03:51Hello.

03:52The final five.

03:53I feel like I've said that before.

03:54Danger move.

03:55It's top five.

03:56We're all still here.

03:57I'm coming up a win.

03:58Wow.

03:59Let me take a deep breath.

04:00This feeling is good.

04:01I am more confident as a solo designer than I've ever been.

04:03And the finish line is really, really, really close.

04:06There's five of you, but unfortunately, only three of you will make it to the big finale.

04:22This is the most important challenge of this competition.

04:27This is the challenge before the finale.

04:29And knowing the two of us are going home, I can't wait for it.

04:34And knowing the two of us are going home, I can't mess this up.

04:37I just can't.

04:39Because this challenge determines who is going to the finale, we had to do something very,

04:44very special.

04:45Take a look.

04:47Roll the clip.

04:49Oh, hi, Heidi.

04:50Oh, my God.

04:52And hello, designers.

04:54It's Oz's most popular witches.

04:55Wow.

04:56Ah.

04:57Cynthia.

04:58Ariana.

04:59We hear this season of Project Runway has more twists and turns than the Yellow Brick Road.

05:03And we're certain the experience has changed you for good.

05:06We wish we could be there in person, but you are in amazing and talented hands.

05:10We're pleased to welcome to the runway the most swankified man in Oz.

05:13Oscar-winning costume designer of Wicked.

05:15Wow.

05:16And the upcoming Wicked for Good, Paul Teswell.

05:18Good luck, designers.

05:19Wow.

05:20Ah.

05:21Wow.

05:22Woo!

05:23Designers.

05:24Wow.

05:25It's such an honor to have you here.

05:28Oh, thank you.

05:29It's so great to be here.

05:30Oh, thank you.

05:33Paul Teswell is the first African-American man to win an Oscar for best costume design.

05:39On top of, like, all his other accolades, because he's been really running these costume design Broadway streets since the 90s.

05:46So, um, you know, just in the presence of an icon, no big deal.

05:49You will be creating an avant-garde look based on the themes of the upcoming movie Wicked for Good.

05:58To help inspire you, you are getting a sneak peek.

06:01Sneak peek.

06:02Stop.

06:03Stop.

06:08You're the only friend I ever had.

06:14But there's no going back.

06:20They're coming for you.

06:26Think of what we can do.

06:27Together.

06:31I can relate to this so much because Antonio and I have such a strong brotherhood.

06:43And Glenda and Elphaba have such a strong sisterhood.

06:46So, I'm like, wow, this is such a beautiful challenge for Antonio and I.

06:50Wicked focuses on the power of friendship, marginalization of people that are different, and also self-empowerment.

06:59So, it's on you, hopefully, to take that inspiration and create it in your own way and reimagine the idea of Oz.

07:07And what if I told you, you might have not only one day, but you have two days!

07:17Oh, my God.

07:18Finally!

07:19Girl, I'm about to cry.

07:21A lot of emotions.

07:22I got saved.

07:23I got saved.

07:24Paul Taswell.

07:25Wicked.

07:26Avant-garde.

07:27Damn it!

07:28Paul and Christian will meet you guys in the workroom, where there will be some other surprises.

07:32So, enjoy.

07:33Good luck to all of you.

07:34Oh, my God!

07:35My designers.

07:36So fragile, so expansive, so designer.

07:39Is this for Rio?

07:40So, not only did you get a special look at the film, you also get this fabulous special look at the costumes from the film, which is incredible.

07:54And you're gonna get to talk directly with the man who made it all come to life.

08:01What you see before you is Elphaba and Glinda.

08:05For Elphaba, I leaned into all that was organic.

08:09I was influenced by mycelia, bark, the underside of mushrooms.

08:14Speechless.

08:15With Glinda, it's all that is artificial, all that is sparkly and beautiful.

08:21I then wanted to really establish that idea of the iridescent bubble, swirls, and those things that are whimsical.

08:29And pink and green define what the world of Wicked is.

08:32Think about this idea, taking the inspiration of Wicked for good, but still avant-garde in whatever that means to you and your brand and your work.

08:40Still needs to be fashion.

08:41It's still a runway.

08:42Push it.

08:43Really hard.

08:44You guys go sketch and we'll come around.

08:46Ah!

08:49This is my challenge.

08:51I'm good at avant-garde.

08:53Good luck to the designers.

08:55Good luck.

08:56Hi, I'm Glinda.

08:57Obviously.

08:58I'm thinking about doing a head-to-toe pink beaded bodysuit with gloves and do a beautiful cape of organza.

09:08Amazing.

09:09Well, make sure that you're also thinking about avant-garde, like something you've never seen before.

09:12Yeah.

09:13Because like a pink bodysuit is fabulous, but like Jennifer Lopez literally wears that every single night and a flower cape Valentino's made for like 20 years.

09:21So push it more.

09:23I'm not worried at all.

09:24I hope my win last week can carry me through this challenge and into the finale.

09:29My biggest competition is my brother, and I feel like I finally catch up to him.

09:34The judges really are going to see what Antonio Estrada is capable of.

09:38I wanted to tap more into the nature side, so I thought about a beautiful tree. Nature has no linear lines.

09:44Absolutely.

09:45But remember, you know, still want that fashion moment.

09:48I'm trying to use the design style that I discovered for myself, sophisticated streetwear, and push it to avant-garde.

09:57The pressure is turned up to 5,000, and I really, really, really want to make it to the finale, so I'm determined to deliver.

10:07Wicked For Good is a movie about friendship being torn apart, and I kind of want to create a fabric that's kind of like peeling off or being torn apart.

10:17I really want it to be crazy, but in a good way.

10:20I mean, what I'm seeing is really exciting. Huge fan of texture.

10:23Also, like your work is, you know, very quiet sometimes. I think this has to be the fantasy.

10:28Yes, right?

10:29I really agree with Christian. My work, it's very quiet because I think that there is beauty in simplicity, but avant-garde should not be quiet.

10:41I love to play with restraint. A lot of Elphaba's journey, she's restraining herself because of her skin.

10:49Growing up, I was a little queer kid, and I didn't know really how to express myself, and so when I saw Wicked, it did help me, like, feel comfortable on my own skin, and yeah, it really means a lot to me.

11:01Ugh. I'm obsessed.

11:03And so I want to play with this beautiful crystal overlay off the shoulders, just it's flowing down into just beautiful fabric.

11:13You did do the first challenge, where you had a glove through your giant wind cape, and that standing still might not be enough.

11:22This needs to be incredible, which you, above all people, can do.

11:29Mm.

11:30Avant-garde is my bread and butter. I think that I could do a hybrid of what I've done before, but these decisions are the ones that are gonna push me into the finale, so I gotta make the right decisions.

11:39It's a lot of pressure.

11:41I have a really strong connection with Elphaba. I want to create this really amazing avant-garde coat dress with really huge hips.

11:53I don't know if avant-garde is in Jesus' wheelhouse, because he makes a lot of beautiful dresses, but a beautiful dress is not avant-garde.

12:02Then I want to mold the collar into around the neck and into a hat.

12:07I mean, the silhouette of the dress is something that we've seen before. It's literally exactly the same. I don't know what he's thinking. This challenge might be Jesus' downfall.

12:17I got this.

12:19And we're back. This is probably the most important shop of the season. Five of you left. Two of you go home on this challenge. Fabric is so important.

12:3130 minutes. $1,000 a shot.

12:33I love money. And I love spending other people's money.

12:36Ready, go. On your broomsticks.

12:39I have been eyeing this crystal fabric and I find this beautiful green satin. My ritual plan was in silver because of Glinda's shoes, but that crystal fabric is more of a green tone. So like green is just a natural choice.

13:01Vijay, all this red is for you. A lot of your budgets go into this one fabric. Setting myself apart from other designers is a strategy that I've used for the entire competition because you need to have a unique point of view.

13:15All gonna be red. Yes. The whole thing. Yes. Very powerful.

13:19It's a risk to use red because I know that this is not the usual colors that you can associate with the movie, but no risk, no reward.

13:28Can you see your sketch, PJ? No.

13:30I don't know yet what I'm making. I just want to see what you sketched. I don't know yet what I'm making.

13:35You don't have to show him. I like that she doesn't show anybody. No. Like you can't be the editor.

13:40She's trying to win. I like it. All right, designers, one minute left.

13:45One minute left. Anxiety. What color are you using? Green.

13:50Oh my God. You and Ethan are both using green. So it's a battle between who has the best green look.

13:57Bitch, I'm not worried. He was not supposed to do green. He was supposed to do silver. I'm his biggest threat.

14:07Can you see? It's inside of that. Bitch, you never want to show me your sketch. You want to see my fabric?

14:12VJ is a silent killer. I'll see it later. She never wants to show anybody's her sketch.

14:17When you show me your sketch, I'll show you my fabric. This bitch. I'm not showing you my sketch.

14:20Game is on, VJ.

14:22Gimme, gimme, gimme more. And you better not have any more. I want all of you.

14:28Make some magic happen.

14:30Gimme, gimme more.

14:32You guys really bought expensive fabrics. How much is it a yard?

14:38This is $750 a yard. Wow.

14:41Jesus said you copied his color.

14:46Get it straight, bitch. I don't want you to, like, start tea.

14:49But never say that he was copying me. Don't put words in my mouth.

14:52You just accused me of saying that he copied me and I didn't say that. Let me just clear the air.

14:57I want to clear it because you're starting tea.

14:59I'm just, like, asking why both of you are using green.

15:02You're initially going for silver.

15:05No, no. The last time was that Ethan was going to use silver. I was going to do the green.

15:08And Antonio was going to do pink.

15:10Pink. Okay.

15:11Because we're hoping that we're on the top three. Period.

15:14Whoa. Whoa. Damn. What? Bitch.

15:19But never say that he was copying me. Don't put words in my mouth.

15:23He said that you change it to green.

15:25Actually, my original thought was green.

15:28But then I thought, oh, what if I switch it to silver for the shoes?

15:32I'm not copying nobody. I'm just doing the correct branding.

15:35No one here owns green.

15:37She's got to go home.

15:38I know it's like when I'm, this is like the moment that I'm like, bleh, chiton.

15:44Jesus is fuming. I can already feel his heat coming down from his pores.

15:49I have my popcorn ready.

15:51Y'all are spicy.

15:53This is just getting me more fuel to send you home.

15:58Jesus can go from zero to 200%.

16:02And I am the opposite. I'm not taking it in a very personal level.

16:06But I think Jesus cannot do that.

16:08So there is going to be chaos and war.

16:12The sea witch bitch goes home.

16:13It's like, I'm done with it.

16:15I don't want that.

16:16She really is a shit starter.

16:18She's a shit starter.

16:19Uh-huh.

16:20I don't hear shit. I don't know shit.

16:21Nope.

16:22It's very serious.

16:23And I don't like it.

16:24You don't with the Gemini.

16:26Oh my God.

16:29I've gotten nowhere with my garment.

16:31I don't have time for this, y'all.

16:33I'm going to change mine into a gown.

16:37The fabric is too beautiful not to do a gown.

16:40I have a question with both of you.

16:42Like, this is like a random question.

16:45Uh-oh.

16:46For example, just let's say, of course, ideally, both of you want to be in the finale.

16:51But let's say there's only one.

16:53Have you guys talked about who do you think deserve it more?

16:57I don't know.

16:58This is just like an honest.

17:00I think Antonio started in the bottom and then you started in the top.

17:04And then during the entire competition, it's kind of like he's on the top, on the top, on the top.

17:10And then like...

17:11Rich.

17:12What are you talking about?

17:13Honey, I'm just going up.

17:14I'm not saying you're going down.

17:15No, listen to me.

17:16I'm just going up.

17:17Security!

17:20Security!

17:22We need security on set.

17:24You never know.

17:25Like, last challenge, it was a shock to me that I was in the bottom.

17:30You should have gone home.

17:32Period.

17:35I mean, I like my look.

17:36When I ask questions, I'm just trying to know you and to get to know you.

17:40But I get in trouble sometimes because I'm always very honest.

17:44And sometimes I lose friends because of that.

17:47It might come across offensive.

17:49You missed the challenge, honey.

17:51Why did I miss it?

17:52Because there was no reveal.

17:53There was a reveal of the Christmas sweater.

17:56I'd rather wear a Christmas sweater rather than dancing with the stars that looks like a magician.

18:02My coat was stronger than all your three pieces if you really want to go there.

18:07Wow.

18:09My job this week is to take your ass off.

18:13You're a feisty bitch.

18:15Oh my God.

18:16Starting trouble.

18:17Jesus, now I want to with me.

18:19This is very loud.

18:23I'm not really trying to create drama.

18:32She looks at me and I'm like, bye.

18:34No comment.

18:35Jesus and I fight a lot.

18:40But for me, it's coming from competition.

18:43You put two competitive people in one group.

18:48So what would you expect?

18:49You know, we're not going to hug each other.

18:51We're going to stop each other because we want to win.

18:53And that's normal.

18:54She said, I'm not starting to start drama.

18:56I'm like, yeah, but you did.

18:57She is drama.

18:58You don't have a DNA, honey.

19:00All your looks look from different designers.

19:03VG has always seen us as frenemies, but she's pushed me way too far.

19:08I don't know if it's her strategy to make it to the top because I truly have no idea why she's still in this competition.

19:16You really want me to go there?

19:18Ready, set, go.

19:19Hi, everybody.

19:20Hi, Christian.

19:21There's not that much done.

19:23I was going to do a jumpsuit.

19:28I kind of had a nightmare that J-Lo sent me home.

19:31So I changed my mind.

19:33I'm not doing a cave.

19:34It's almost like a shawl, but I want to make it big and I want to make my own flowers.

19:38It has to be huge.

19:40Focus on this wow moment piece.

19:42You need a flower cocoon.

19:44Flower cocoon bubble.

19:46Let me write that down.

19:47How do you spell cocoon?

19:48Cocoon.

19:49I don't know.

19:51C-A-C-O-O-N?

19:58This is one of Alphaba's friends from the forest.

20:01Tree creature.

20:02Yes.

20:03This is really cool.

20:05It was really hard to find texture and the right color of trees and moss.

20:08I don't think you should go too costume-esque, like a tree.

20:15What's going to make you stand out?

20:17Knowing that I could have gone home in the last challenge is shaking my confidence.

20:22I'm worried about my look not standing out in the room full of glitter, sparkle, and 3D definition.

20:31I'm concerned.

20:32Who is she, Lady Godiva?

20:35So you're sticking with your plan.

20:37Like you're not going to see the body at all.

20:39Yeah.

20:40Like you're covering her up in green.

20:41Even if it was just a small amount into a V or something.

20:45You know, I could plunge this down and really get it close to the body.

20:50I think so.

20:51I don't want them to be like this just isn't enough.

20:54Throughout this competition, I have had to tone it down because, you know, my sentiments for fashion is really loud and bananas.

21:01But this challenge is my opportunity to really turn what I'm good at up to 100.

21:08This is that one challenge you could push it even just a little bit more.

21:12Okay.

21:13I don't want it to kind of look like what I did for Unconventional You Know The Count.

21:18I want to make her a little more sexy.

21:20I think you can do all this.

21:22Or just let me.

21:23I know, but that's a lot of work.

21:25I can handle it.

21:26I need to send her home.

21:27I need to send her home.

21:28You really, I guess, what did you just say?

21:30BJ just killed the vibe not too long ago.

21:33She, she's one of those.

21:36I am sad because there's a lot of assumptions that I am steering the pot.

21:40One of the things that I learned in this competition is that you got to be very careful because people just really create drama out of nothing.

21:48BJ, the room is very frazzled about you today.

21:51I know, I don't know why.

21:54It just feels so weird because they, they thought that I should, that I should got eliminated last challenge.

22:01I don't know.

22:03Alphaba is a person that kind of like being rejected for who she is.

22:07And you know, it's like, yeah, it's like, you know, it's like, I felt rejection so many times and it's not that easy.

22:14It's kind of like, I kind of relate to that character as a trans woman being rejected, being said no a lot of times.

22:21And so it's like, no matter how hard it is.

22:26I understand.

22:27Trust me, I was an out little gay boy when I was on this.

22:30Yeah.

22:31In 2008.

22:32Yeah.

22:33It was rough.

22:34It wasn't fun.

22:35Yeah.

22:36But you're here and there's so many allies in the world and people are going to be so inspired by you.

22:39There are things about me that people don't understand.

22:43As an immigrant woman, as a trans woman, and as a fierce competitor.

22:48But those are the things that I like about me.

22:51I see my uniqueness as a special power.

22:55And I want to channel all of that into this design.

22:58You get to create and show people what you can do.

23:01Yeah.

23:02So be proud of yourself.

23:08A little trepidatious about them being like, it's too similar to the first one.

23:22But it's a totally different, like, headpiece.

23:25Totally different.

23:26Yeah.

23:27There's not a lot of time to pivot.

23:29And pivoting last week hurt a lot.

23:33But I'm hoping that I kill it.

23:35One stumble could let me fall out of this competition.

23:38Oh no!

23:39I think I could be in trouble.

23:41When the beat drops!

23:42Hands up!

23:43Hands up!

23:44Hands up!

23:45When the beat drops!

23:46Hello, designers!

23:47Hi!

23:48Hello!

23:49Wow, what an honor.

23:50Ah, it's fun!

23:51Oh my God.

23:52The Oscar winner.

23:53I have never had an opportunity to have my work critiqued by an Oscar winner.

23:59How are you?

24:00It's a pleasure.

24:01So this is...

24:02This is it.

24:03Definitely avant-garde.

24:04And it would be great to understand direction so that it doesn't feel random.

24:17Okay, I'll do that.

24:18It needs to be intentional.

24:19Yeah.

24:20My worry is that, are they gonna get it?

24:22Are they gonna see Wicked?

24:24The face of your model is open.

24:26And how does it relate to the green skin?

24:30I think it could be kind of cool if all of her face was covered, too.

24:33Well, that's what I was wondering as well.

24:35And I think that it would also push the avant-garde.

24:37It's a good idea.

24:38Yeah.

24:39I'm excited to see that.

24:41Antonio.

24:42Hello, your majesty.

24:48Tell me about your design.

24:49So, originally when we spoke, I wanted to do a catsuit.

24:53I remember Chris was like, oh, J-Lo's done that.

24:55And I'm like, you know what?

24:56Right, right, right.

24:57I'm gonna do the most beautiful evening gown I've ever made.

25:00Okay.

25:01I'm adding the green heart because it's a special place for my alphabet, which is my twin brother.

25:06Mm-hmm.

25:07Okay.

25:08We've seen many evening dresses.

25:12How is this an avant-garde statement?

25:15Because this poppy flower that's on the floor, it's gonna be her flower cocoon.

25:20Mm-hmm.

25:21Kind of like wings.

25:22Pushing your silhouette is the direction that I would suggest.

25:27Yeah.

25:28Really make it something we've never seen before.

25:31I mean, that was fueling almost all of my decisions when I was designing Wicked.

25:35So, how can you take us to that next level?

25:38This is my interpretation of her hat.

25:41Mm-hmm.

25:42Right?

25:43So, I want the point to be dramatic, like avant-garde.

25:45And I wanted to do a 3D heart because, you know, my brother's doing green and I mixed the pink in it.

25:51The twins, obviously, are helping each other, but they're not helping each other editing the look.

25:59If I'm Jesus, I will tell Antonio right now to get rid of that ugly flower.

26:06It represents the love that she will forever in her life have for Glenda.

26:11Wonderful.

26:12It touches my heart.

26:14There may be strengths in what you have already, but if you focus on that and make that really beautiful,

26:19then you really won't need anything else.

26:22Where I'm at in my process is getting the moss effect full throttle going.

26:27What I see currently are silhouettes that in and themselves are interesting.

26:33Mm-hmm.

26:34It's how do you keep all of it talking to each other.

26:37Talking to each other.

26:38Mm.

26:39I like Bolaunias, but it doesn't read avant-garde.

26:43It reads street wear.

26:44There's a lot at stake because two people are going to go.

26:48So, girl, go big.

26:50Push yourself beyond your comfort zone.

26:52That's what avant-garde is all about.

26:54Everybody, I'm hugely impressed.

26:56So, win or lose, let's rejoicify.

26:59Yeah!

27:01Bye.

27:02Bye.

27:03Oh, I hope it works.

27:04Tomorrow, two of you go home and get to watch me in the finale.

27:09Guys, this is it.

27:10I woke up feeling like a wicked bitch.

27:24Oh, you look pretty much.

27:25Yeah.

27:26So much better, right?

27:27I like this more.

27:28Hi, everybody.

27:29Hi, Christian.

27:30You have an hour and a half left.

27:31That's it?

27:32Oh, my God.

27:33Uh-huh.

27:34It's a moment.

27:35What if you cut it off just, like, leave this, but cut this off so it can...

27:40It can bellow.

27:41This is making it heavy.

27:42Wow.

27:43She's very Victoria's Secret Angel.

27:44Uh-huh.

27:45All right, models to hair and makeup.

27:46Let's go.

27:47Perfect.

27:48Gorgeous.

27:49The lighter shades so her eyes could pop, maybe, like, from the corner out.

28:02Nude lip and lashes.

28:04You should fix the inside of this garment because that's going to get you home.

28:09Click your heels, but I don't think you want to go there.

28:11How much time do we have left?

28:1210 minutes.

28:13Oh!

28:14This is it.

28:17Only three out of five are going to the finale.

28:20I want it.

28:21That's it.

28:22Time to head to the runway.

28:23Ah!

28:24Run, run, run!

28:25That's it, baby.

28:26Yeah!

28:27Hello.

28:28How are you?

28:30Welcome to the runway, the final five.

28:33Yes!

28:34As you know, in fashion, one day you're in, and the next day you're out.

28:37But tonight, two, unfortunately, will be out.

28:41For this challenge, you had to create an avant-garde look based on the themes from the new

28:46film, Wicked For Good.

28:48And please tell me, what was it like having Paul's input and looking at your designs?

28:52Oh, my God.

28:53It was extremely magical.

28:56He's also right over there.

28:57Hi, Paul.

28:58Hi, Paul.

28:59You're here.

29:01Thank you so much, Paul, for all the guidance that you've given the designers.

29:04Absolutely.

29:05My pleasure.

29:06Let's meet the judges.

29:07CFDA award-winning stylist and image architect, Law Roach.

29:12Yes, Law.

29:13Hello, Law.

29:14Editor of Elle magazine, Nina Garcia.

29:17Woo!

29:18And my friend, supermodel, actress, producer, fashion diva, and wicked fan, Tyra Banks.

29:25Woo!

29:26Woo!

29:27Woo!

29:28Woo!

29:29V. Banks herself.

29:31Miss Ty Tyra Banks.

29:33Ah!

29:34Let's start the show.

29:42I love my look.

29:44She was morphing into the dress, and the dress is morphing into the hat.

29:48It's gorge.

29:49Stunning.

29:50My vision has come to life to perfection.

29:54Such an iconic moment.

29:55Ooh, by large.

29:56I've accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish for this look.

30:09She looks so, so elegant and so avant-garde.

30:15It's making me feel so proud of myself.

30:18When you rise up, you can walk to me, talk to me.

30:22I'm happy seeing this green goddess walk down the runway.

30:26My look does not have sparkle.

30:28It does not have that much volume.

30:31But it's me.

30:32Definitely me.

30:33And I'm obsessed.

30:34I am hopeful that it's still enough to get me to the finale.

30:37Seeing my look walk on the runway, I feel the spiral detail is so beautiful.

30:49And the movement, it's so powerful.

30:52I mean, the color is so dramatic.

30:55And I'm really, really happy with the outcome of the dress.

30:58This is all so magical.

31:08To be able to see my look just fly down the runway.

31:12It's sparkling under the light.

31:14The lines are gorgeous.

31:15It looks expensive.

31:17It looks unique.

31:18It looks so avant-garde.

31:21And I think that I did myself so proud today.

31:24It looks so good.

31:26It looks so good.

31:27Yeah.

31:31This is going to be so hard today.

31:33Oh, my gosh.

31:34Designers, please step onto the runway.

31:40We've scored your designs and we want to talk to all of you.

31:42Jesus, we're going to start with you and your model.

31:46I really wanted to just create something very powerful.

31:50I wanted to do a heart to incorporate the paint of Antonio's fabric

31:55because, to me, it represents the love that Elphaba has for Glinda.

32:00But, for me, it's the love that I have for my twin brother.

32:04Avant-garde means being innovative.

32:07Being experimental.

32:10And that all came through.

32:13It really is pushing the boundaries.

32:18Well done.

32:19Aw, Jesus.

32:21It's okay to be emotional.

32:23I think it's really, really, really beautiful.

32:26Now, the shoes came out really draggy to me.

32:29But you know what?

32:30This is a runway look.

32:32This is the avant-garde moment when you can be outrageous.

32:36It's going to hit Nina first.

32:38She's going to photograph it.

32:39No, it's going to hit me first because I'm going to get it right off the red carpet.

32:41Oh, you're going to fight?

32:42Oh, no.

32:43We're going to get it right off the red carpet.

32:44Oh, no, no, no, no.

32:45Oh, yes, baby.

32:46We get it first.

32:47I get it first, babe.

32:48Depends on your celebrity.

32:49Sorry.

32:50And we know who my celebrity is.

32:51All right.

32:52Nina came back feisty tonight.

32:53Yes.

32:54I know.

32:55That's what you say every time I come here.

32:57Whatever.

32:58Jesus.

32:59Kyra.

33:00I don't see two days.

33:01I see two months.

33:02Yes.

33:03I did love the look.

33:04It came out, and I was like, wow.

33:06The sparkles, how you place them all.

33:07I don't know.

33:08It just gives it this kind of texture in a way.

33:11It's divine.

33:12Thank you so much.

33:14Okay, Antonio, let's get your model out.

33:17I knew that I was going to do a pink dress inspired by Glinda.

33:20Mm-hmm.

33:21And what really came to my mind is the poppy flower in the movie.

33:25I love the dress.

33:26I think the dress is beautiful.

33:28Does it read to me immediately wicked?

33:31No.

33:32I'm seeing a little bit more Vegas.

33:34The construction on the actual dress is really beautiful.

33:37Let's talk about the back, because that's what I'm most troubled with.

33:41That's a disaster.

33:43And it is not defying gravity.

33:46It's bad.

33:47Tell the truth.

33:48Shame the devil.

33:49It's like a bad pinata.

33:53I know that deep inside you know this is catastrophic.

34:00Antonio, I know that deep inside you know this is catastrophic.

34:08The back of the dress looks really unfinished.

34:10I see all your seam works.

34:12It is a bit messy from the back, but I do love the volume.

34:15This brought me back, I feel like, to the beginning.

34:18So even though I was rising to the top, I feel like I'm back to square one, so I'm shutting down.

34:27I think the dress is beautiful, and I actually like the flower.

34:33I want it.

34:34You can have it, Tyra.

34:35Thank you, Antonio.

34:36Hi, Vijay.

34:37Hi, Heidi.

34:38Let's bring out your model.

34:40Wicked for Good is about friendship being torn apart.

34:44So I bought red silk, and I literally shredded it apart.

34:49And Paul mentioned that one of the most important design elements for Wicked is the spiral.

34:56The deconstruction of wrapping that boning and making it look shredded looks fantastic.

35:03The shoe is spectacular, kind of took my breath away.

35:08There was a lot of creativity to it.

35:11I really loved it.

35:12I think it's beautiful.

35:13I think it's avant-garde.

35:14And then the shoe looks clunky.

35:16Does it read wicked to me?

35:18No.

35:19The red totally threw me off.

35:21Had this been in green or black, you could have told the same story, and it would have made more sense for the movie.

35:29But I do think that you did make something really interesting.

35:32I used to teach branding, and there are certain things with branding that are non-negotiables.

35:37And one of those is color.

35:39So for me, that's like a big miss, like a huge miss.

35:43Thank you, Vijay.

35:45Thank you so much.

35:46Okay, Ethan.

35:47Let's bring out your model.

35:48This could have easily been a $50,000 couture dress, and you ruined it with those underwear.

35:55That is one of my biggest pet peeves on the red carpet when it's the wrong underwear.

36:00But it's fab.

36:02I love the addition of the ostrich feathers.

36:05It also is Elphaba with the cape, and the end of the first movie when Glinda threw that cloak around her and she flew off.

36:12I think you did an incredible job.

36:14It's gorge.

36:15I mean, you definitely took a risk by hiding her face because it could have been like they either hate it or love it.

36:21I happen to love it.

36:22You know, it's like, ah.

36:24What I like the most about your work is when you play with these opposites, right?

36:30So here is a sense of modesty, but at the same time of sexiness.

36:36I was just blown away.

36:37I think it's very stunning.

36:38This is unique.

36:39This is special.

36:41Thank you, Ethan.

36:42Thank you all so much.

36:43You can leave the runway.

36:45Thank you, baby.

36:46Okay, Polonia, let's bring out your avant-garde look.

36:49Paul was explaining his inspiration.

36:52He went to nature to see all the textures and the colors, and I was inspired deeply because I'm a plant person.

36:59But since this is avant-garde, I had to go a little bit bigger.

37:02I'm so torn here.

37:04I love the gouches.

37:05However, I don't know about that tail.

37:08It's giving me a little crocodile tail, and it's not even even.

37:12So there's a...

37:13Well, yeah, that speaks to nature and the unevenness in nature.

37:16It's supposed to be representative of moss.

37:17Okay, but does it give you a little crocodile alligator tail?

37:20To me, personally, no, it doesn't.

37:22I love it.

37:23I think there's different levels of avant-garde.

37:25Right.

37:26There's avant-garde couture, and there's avant-garde street fashion.

37:30I think it's absolutely stunning.

37:32My issue is everybody else took a chance, and I think this was pretty safe.

37:38In your opinion, what you've seen so far?

37:40Well, that's not helping you, babe.

37:42Really?

37:43You don't think this is you?

37:45I think this is you.

37:46I'm uncomfortable putting this on the rack.

37:47I love it, but this is...

37:48To me, this is, like, big.

37:49Well, you're gonna have to be uncomfortable a lot in this business.

37:53That's the name of the game.

37:55Fashion is all about the new.

37:58It's safe.

37:59Delania, be quiet.

38:00I have never yelled at a girl like this before.

38:03I was rooted for you.

38:05We were all rooted for you.

38:07God.

38:08Is it that serious?

38:09Oh, bitch, it is.

38:10That was iconic.

38:11Now, let me critique you seriously.

38:14I actually agree with Tyra.

38:16Rick Owens is considered to be one of the greatest avant-garde designers of our generation.

38:21And for me, this is what that feels like.

38:23I do think it's avant-garde, and I do think it's really beautiful.

38:26It's the thing of not being able to take the critiques that loses me with you every single time.

38:32Because if I didn't care, I wouldn't say anything.

38:35I always say, like, cuss us out in your head.

38:38Right.

38:39I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be disrespectful.

38:44If I didn't care, I wouldn't say anything.

38:47I always say, like, cuss us out in your head.

38:50Right.

38:51I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be disrespectful.

38:54That's okay.

38:56Sorry.

38:57I gave yours a high score.

39:00I knew immediately that it was yours.

39:02I also did see Alphaba.

39:04She looks modern also, you know?

39:07This is now.

39:08Thank you, Bolania.

39:10There's five of you, but unfortunately, only three of you will make it to the big finale.

39:16Antonio, should you be in the finale?

39:19Please tell us what two designers do you think should come with you?

39:23I think you should say, I would love to see my brother do a collection.

39:29And I would love to see Ethan do a collection.

39:34I've been so proud of what he's been doing in the competition.

39:37Bolania, who would you take with you?

39:41God!

39:43I would go with the two twins.

39:45So you'll send BJ and Ethan home?

39:48Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

39:50No, that's coming from your heart.

39:52I think it's very brave.

39:54Ethan, what about you?

39:57This is tough.

40:02The twins.

40:04Throughout the whole competition, I have volleyed so many ideas and my work has grown so much.

40:10Like, they've been just watering the seeds the whole time.

40:13I understand.

40:14Oh, that's nice.

40:15Yeah.

40:16Hey, hey, Suze.

40:17I would, of course, like to see my brother be in the finale with me because I am so proud of what he's done and what he's learned in this competition.

40:25And then Ethan, I saw the growth in him through this competition.

40:30I would love for top four because I think Bolania found who she truly is as a designer.

40:36I truly don't know if BJ really knows what her DNA is in the competition.

40:40The strategy is they don't want me to be in the top three because they know that if I'm in the top three, I have a strong chance of winning this.

40:51So who would you take with you?

40:53I will definitely take Ethan and Bolania because I think that these two people are kind and I think that we need the money more than them.

41:05And I feel...

41:06What makes you think that?

41:07It's a hard chance to speak.

41:09That is so stupid.

41:11I like to work with people who are kind and humble.

41:14Are you saying that we're not kind and humble?

41:16Oh, my God.

41:17You're the one that started all the drama in this competition, BJ.

41:20If you really want to go there, because you are not the humble person.

41:24You were starting drama between everybody in this competition and you know that.

41:28So don't stand right here and look like you're the innocent girl.

41:32Period.

41:33Between you and your brother, who's the better designer?

41:35I'm not going to answer that long.

41:36Why not?

41:37I'm not going to answer that.

41:38You saw the hearts on the dresses.

41:40It's a competition.

41:41Please don't do that.

41:42I mean, he was always on top and I was on the bottom.

41:43So I'm proud of him.

41:45Right.

41:46So you think he's the better designer?

41:47Oh, I mean, yeah.

41:48If you want me to say.

41:49Okay, great.

41:50That's all I'm trying to get to.

41:51It's okay.

41:52He said it.

41:53You don't have a lot of family values as maybe you should one day too.

41:56That's fine.

41:57Ooh.

41:58There can only be one winner at the end of the day.

41:59Yeah, yeah.

42:00The best winner should win.

42:01Yeah.

42:02But let's get there.

42:03We have a lot to talk about.

42:04You can leave the runway.

42:06Thank you so much.

42:09Wow.

42:10It got heated in here.

42:12That was really wrong for you to say that.

42:15Please don't.

42:16See, that's what I'm saying.

42:17Please don't.

42:18Kind and humble.

42:19Right?

42:20We are humble.

42:21Oh my God.

42:22I don't even want to be in this room with them.

42:24They're attacking me.

42:25Be kind and humble.

42:26Because you're the one with the big mouth.
