00:32First and last together, and that's it.
00:36Uh-oh.
00:37Hola!
00:38You got a designer and a model.
00:41I'm a tall bitch.
00:49Hey, Ziva.
00:50How are you? I'm Joseph McCray.
00:51I'm Ethan, but you may recognize me
00:54as Utica from RuPaul's Drag Race.
00:56You think I can eat that?
00:57Yeah, you can cue on it.
00:59Girl, this is Crystals.

01:01Hello!
01:02Hey, Ziva.
01:03How are you?
01:04Hola.
01:05Ethan, nice to meet you.
01:06Vijay.
01:07I'm Joseph McCray.
01:08Hi, Joseph.
01:09Nice to meet you.
01:10No, no, no, you gotta say that first and then.
01:11Hi.
01:12Hold on, Vijay is Joseph McCray.
01:13Okay, Joseph, right?

01:30Hey.
01:31Hola.
01:32Hi.
01:33Bitches, I am back.
01:34Jesus, nice to meet you.
01:36I'm Jesus Estrada from Project Runway Season 7.
01:40I'm so excited.
01:42Jesus, we are concerned about your taste level.
01:45I was a baby.
01:46I was 21 years old.
01:48I'm 36 now.
01:49Hola.
01:50Back then, I didn't know who I was as a designer.
01:52Now, coming back, I know my DNA.
01:55I have a very successful business.
01:57So, Heidi has nothing to worry about this time around, about my taste level.
02:02I'm gonna win, just so you know.
02:04So, I hope you bitches are ready.
02:05Yes.
02:06What is going on?
02:08Girl.
02:09I'm Vijay.
02:10I'm Joan.
02:11Nice to meet you.
02:12Nice to meet you, Joan.
02:13Hey, guys.
02:14Hey, what's up?
02:15Hi.
02:16My name is Yuchen.
02:17Hi.
02:18Hi.
02:21My name is Casey Black.
02:22I was on Season 19 of Project Runway, and I left on Episode 1.
02:30I'm, like, cry laughing.
02:32Casey, you are out.
02:34Being eliminated in the first challenge, I didn't get to show who I was as a person, as a designer, as an artist.
02:41So, I'm just hoping to prove who I am.
02:43Hi.
02:44Hi.
02:45Hi.
02:46Hi.
02:47Hi.
02:48Hi.
02:49Hi.
02:50Honey, you look like you're ready.
02:51I mean, born ready, baby.
02:52Yeah.
02:53Oh, shit, bitch.
02:54Are you guys ready to double the travel?
02:58Is that my twin brother?
02:59Bitch!
03:00Oh, no.
03:02Bitch!
03:04No, no.
03:05I...
03:06There's another one.
03:08The Estrada's in that country plan.
03:10Fuck off of there, bitch.
03:11Let them meet the winner.
03:12Wait, this one's my side, no?
03:14They want me here, though.
03:15Wait, this one's my side, no?
03:16They want me here, though.
03:18You want to tell them that you want this side?
03:19Yeah, that's my side.
03:21Is that going to be a fight?
03:23Hi, I'm Antonio Estrada.
03:24I'm the winner of Project Runway season 21,
03:26and this is the first runner-up.
03:28No, I'm kidding.
03:30We'll see you on season seven.
03:31No, this is his first time.
03:33I waited 15 years.
03:34We're here.
03:35Yes.
03:36There you go.
03:38I always knew I wanted to do fashion.
03:40It was my dream to be on Project Runway, not my brother.
03:43I said my brother went in before me, so.
03:45But I never felt like I was living in his shadow.
03:49I'm talented.
03:51I'm excited to showcase my own creations.
03:53It's going to be my own vision, my own style,
03:55outside of my brother.
03:56And I'm here to win.
03:57Six, seven, eight, nine, seven, six, seven, seven, eight.
03:58We're done.
03:59We're done.
04:00We're done.
04:01Yeah, 12.
04:02Ah!
04:03There you go.
04:04Ah!
04:05Ah!
04:06Yeah!
04:10Welcome home, mama.
04:11Yes!
04:12Yes!
04:13Yes!
04:14Designers, welcome to Project Runway.
04:16I can't believe I'm saying this again.
04:18This is so exciting.
04:19I'm your host, Heidi Klum.
04:21Heidi Klum!
04:22Yes!
04:23Yes!
04:24This is truly a magical place where dreams do come true.
04:28And no one knows this more than the world-renowned designer
04:31and icon next to me, Christian Siriano!
04:35Yes!
04:40I'm good.
04:41So you want to know your first challenge?
04:43Absolutely.
04:44Yes.
04:45Okay, if you ask any designer where they first fell in love with fashion, I think one answer
04:50comes up more than any other.
04:51The Disney princess.
04:53Ooh!
04:54The princesses have inspired so many designers for decades.
05:00And as you know, behind every powerful princess...
05:03Yes!
05:04There's something lurking.
05:05Ooh!
05:06The Disney villains.
05:07Yes!
05:08Not only were they scary, but they were fabulously evil.
05:10Aw!
05:11Okay, designers.
05:12We're in a new home with new rules.
05:13So for your first challenge, you will be forming fashion houses.
05:14Woo!
05:15Heidi!
05:16What are you doing to us?
05:17One house will be house of princess, while the other will be the house of villains.
05:20Muah!
05:21I know.
05:22Please stand on the side that your work is on.
05:23Right here, right here.
05:24Oh my God.
05:25Your house is the house of princess.
05:26Okay!
05:27I don't want to sew in all black.
05:28Yeah, me neither.
05:29That makes you house of villains.
05:30Each house must be a house of princess.
05:31Okay, so for your first challenge, you will be forming fashion houses.
05:32Woo!
05:33Heidi!
05:34What are you doing to us?
05:35One house will be house of princess, while the other will be the house of villains.
05:36Wow!
05:37I know.
05:38Please stand on the side that your work is on.
05:39Right here.
05:40Right here.
05:41Oh my God.
05:42Your house is the house of princess.
05:43Okay!
05:44Okay!
05:45I don't want to sew in all black.
05:46Yeah, me neither!
05:47The new house of villains.
05:48Each house must create a cohesive collection.
05:52Mmm.
05:53That's C word.
05:54For the very first runway show at the Enchanted United Palace.
05:59Ooh!
06:00Ooh!
06:01You only have one day to create this look.
06:04Whew!
06:05You guys have 45 minutes to brainstorm, to sketch, and then you run off to Mu to get your
06:11fabric.
06:12Woo!
06:13Oh God!
06:14I'm so happy to be here, and I can't believe I'm saying this in the
06:17morning again.
06:18I'll see you on the runway!
06:19Woo!
06:20Love you, Heidi.
06:21What's happening?
06:22I am having a moment of PTSD because my first challenge in season 19 was a group challenge.
06:35And now I'm in season 21, and it's also a group challenge.
06:39I'm getting hives.
06:40I'm sweating.
06:41I'm, like, having panic attacks.
06:42I cannot be eliminated first.
06:44Not again.
06:45Okay.
06:46Here we go, guys.
06:47Okay.
06:48All right.
06:49Our first challenge is a group challenge, so we have to sketch and figure out what we're
07:02gonna have going on so we can bring these princess looks to life.
07:06It is game on.
07:07Let's go.
07:08What's that one thing that can thread all the collection?
07:11I think it's gonna come down to the fabric selection.
07:14Fabric.
07:15I definitely got inspired by Ursula, and since I have a delicious, curvaceous girl as a
07:22model, I wanna do a powerful suit, fit it all the way below the knee, and then it's gonna
07:27go out.
07:28I wanna make sure her body looks, like, snatched.
07:30I think a villain has a good cape.
07:33Yeah.
07:34And if I can switch up the idea of having a cape, would we like that?
07:37Yes.
07:38I grew up on a farm.
07:40When I created Utica, it was a conduit for my queer artistic energy, because back on the
07:46farm, I am the gay community.
07:48I'm the mayor of Queerville.
07:51I mostly do these one-of-a-kind bespoke pieces for my community, but not everybody wants
07:58to ready-to-wear drag outfit, so I'm worried about that.
08:02It could get too costumey if I don't do it right.
08:06Oh.
08:08It has to be cohesive.
08:09So, we should think of a theme, like a color palette.
08:12I work with my brother 24-7, so if I can win this for myself, it's proving myself.
08:18I'm excited to intimidate the other designers, and I'm excited to intimidate my brother.
08:23The color palette's bright right into that.
08:25The fabric that I brought from home, it's literally that fabric, the butterfly, but it's
08:30in pink and it has orange-y tones.
08:34The butterflies are blue.
08:36So, let's have the inspiration of our collection be butterfly.
08:41Butterfly, yes.
08:43Cool.
08:44Yes.
08:45Um, okay.
08:46Butterfly fabric is not going on my design.
08:49I'm really sorry.
08:50I don't know if it's giving princess.
08:53It's just not my style.
08:54So, show me how you do it.
08:56My name is Madeline.
08:58My design point of view is inspired by historical fashion.
09:02I like collars.
09:03I like poofy sleeves.
09:05I like pants.
09:08I gotta see this fabric, because if it doesn't speak to me, I'm not using it.
09:12That's fine.
09:13You know?
09:14It's crazy.
09:15We're agreeing to this fabric that we've never seen.
09:17All right, guys.
09:18Here we go.
09:19What is that?
09:21I am not feeling it.
09:23She's ice cold.
09:24My name is Joan Madison.
09:27I'm years old.
09:29I'm a seasoned designer.
09:31I've worked in the garment industry.
09:33I've owned and operated my own bridal shop for the last 20 years.
09:37So, this is my time.
09:39And I'm not here to use basic butterfly fabric.
09:42You know, I'm here to show them who's the queen.
09:45I feel like I want brighter.
09:47I want brighter, too.
09:48Yeah.
09:49Antonio's butterfly fabric.
09:51It was pretty cool to me.
09:52But I already knew that I was going to do what I wanted to do.
09:55Anyway, so...
09:58Are you going to pull something from here?
10:00I don't even know.
10:02For me, the butterflies reprincess.
10:04But if they don't yet, they're crazy.
10:12All right, designers.
10:13$600 each.
10:1445 minutes to shop.
10:16Okay, go.
10:19Joseph McCray.
10:20Joseph McCray.
10:21Joseph McCray.
10:22You got to say the first with the last.
10:23Joseph McCray.
10:24You got to say the first with the last.
10:29Nah, this is too purple.
10:31Everybody's using this print.
10:32No, I'm the only one.
10:33But they all make sense.
10:35We got sequin.
10:36We have velvet.
10:37We've got your print.
10:38We have tulle.
10:39Our team had a plan coming into this.
10:41But now we're running around the store.
10:43Chicken with his head cut off.
10:45I'm like...
10:46And now we've got tweed.
10:47I don't know what's happening.
10:48Patricia, this is 2025, baby.
10:50Okay, I'm...
10:51Listen, I work in 2025.
10:53I'm doing okay.
10:54Come, come, come, come.
10:56Villain team, can I please have you and beat it, please?
10:59We have to have a meeting right now.
11:00I've played this game before, and I think at this point, I know what it takes.
11:05And if someone has to take control, I think that person's going to be me.
11:08Great idea.
11:09Let's meet.
11:10Make sure it makes sense together.
11:13I need to get lining, so I'll be back, okay?
11:16Lining?
11:17Lining.
11:18Okay.
11:19Okay.
11:20Vijay is in her own bubble.
11:22She needs to be a team player.
11:24I don't know.
11:25My team is going everywhere, so I haven't been able to get them here.
11:28No meeting?
11:29Hope it looks good.
11:34Fiddling, fiddling.
11:35Here we go.
11:38Did I cut enough?
11:39Can we sing Disney songs?
11:51It's a good thing that's not her day job.
11:55That fabric is gorge.
11:57Take off the file.
11:58Yeah, right?
11:59Don't you think?
12:00Yeah.
12:01That's gorgeous.
12:02I know.
12:03I think so, too.
12:04In season 19, I had a lot of ideas.
12:06It was really hard for me to edit down.
12:09And I lost track of time.
12:10I don't want that to happen again.
12:11So this challenge, I just think Sleeping Beauty and tulle ball gown.
12:16I'm going to play with layers of tulle that I'm pan fleeting.
12:21But, Casey, I remember her from season 19.
12:25Her aesthetic is very, um, loud.
12:31And yeah, it's pretty.
12:35Welcome to Project Runway season 21.
12:38Look at me go.
12:40My name is Vijay Floresca.
12:42Aside from being a fashion designer,
12:44I used to be a beauty queen.
12:49Here's my pageant wave.
12:52I was second runner up in Project Runway Philippines
12:55season one and first runner up in Dress My Tour.
12:59Being in those competitions will help me
13:02to finally win this competition.
13:04No more runner ups, but to win the competition.
13:08How's the joint diva?
13:10This one, this one.
13:15I can't really get a read on Vijay.
13:17This is a team challenge and you have to be
13:20a little receptive to other people's critique
13:22and interest in what you're doing.
13:24She really is in her own zone and to us,
13:27it seems like she's being an asshole.
13:38You know what you want, I know you like it.
13:41Let's do it.
13:43Woo!
13:44Let's get this party started.
13:45Get back to work.
13:49Color palettes coming together.
13:50And that transition couldn't be any more perfect.
13:53I'm feeling like my team is a winning team.
13:56And I guess you can call me the team leader
13:58just because they actually fell in love with the fabric
14:00that I wanted to use for this challenge.
14:02But you know, I'm a Turner Strada.
14:04I can make anyone fall in love with anything.
14:07I think we're doing it, you guys.
14:08House of Princess.
14:10It's a lot of pink.
14:11It's a lot of ruffles.
14:12And there's some butterflies in there.
14:15It's not my flavor.
14:16I'm glad I'm not on Team Princess.
14:19Yeah, I hate it as well.
14:21Hey, BJ, how you doing?
14:25Huh?
14:26I think there's some people in my team
14:28that are not being team players.
14:30BJ's energy is very standoffish and bitchy.
14:34Why you don't have a machine?
14:36Where's your machine?
14:37Girl, these are all of our machines.
14:38No, I mean, like, that was the one that I'm using.
14:40Okay, well, I can use it too.
14:41Which one is the one that you were using?
14:42That's why I'm asking.
14:43I'm using all of them because we're all using all of them.
14:45Okay, so you don't have, like, one of them?
14:46No, like, everybody's using all of them.
14:47I'm using all of them because we're all using all of them.
14:48Okay, so you don't have, like, one of them?
14:49No!
14:50Like, everybody's using all of them.
14:52Come on, girl.
14:55You just decide to be lazy
14:58and not thread your own machine.
14:59This girl, the fight for the machine begins.
15:03Girl, relax.
15:04Like, you don't own the machines.
15:06You're using Black Thread, honey?
15:08I am as well, so, which part of my start?
15:12I don't like that shit.
15:13This is a competition.
15:14We're not here to meet friends.
15:16We're here to win this.
15:17And I think maybe Jesus wants to distract me.
15:20I'm not gonna give him that power.
15:22I'm just gonna ignore it.
15:24See, this is my well-in-law.
15:25Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
15:27You don't want to be in a bad touch.
15:28No, bitch.
15:29God, take it first for you.
15:30Mister, a hair mask.
15:34Hello?
15:35Hey!
15:36Party!
15:37I love you.
15:38Hi, hi!
15:39There's a lot going on in here.
15:40Yes, it is.
15:45KC?
15:46Yes.
15:47Hi.
15:48Hi.
15:48We meet again.
15:49I know.
15:50I already need a martini.
15:51What's happening?
15:52She'll be like a cake dress and the flowers.
15:54She's a cake.
15:55I'm just thinking, you know, there's ways
15:58to make this feel a bit more modern and cool.
16:02Like maybe this tool is in here
16:04and it's more of a tool overlay somewhere.
16:07The proportions and the fit will be important here.
16:11Yeah.
16:12The waist, for sure.
16:13There's just so many things you could do
16:14to make this feel really cool and interesting.
16:17Oh no.
16:18I have done a waist like this before
16:20and I love asymmetrical.
16:21I do a lot of asymmetrical.
16:23So I don't want to give that up.
16:26I think it's going to be gorgeous.
16:27Okay. Good luck.
16:32Wow.
16:33This is a little number, the Joseph McCray puffer.
16:36Beautiful shape.
16:37I like to play with shape a lot.
16:39I have a degree in electrical engineering.
16:40I think the engineering has very heavily influenced
16:43my design aesthetic and you look at the structure
16:45and you look at the like silhouettes.
16:47So I'm going to create a mean puffer jacket,
16:50along with a wrap satin skirt
16:52in this midnight periwinkle repulsory fabric.
16:55People may not directly relate it to a princess,
16:58but listen, every princess need a jacket.
17:00I'm feeling low key Tinkerbell for real, for real.
17:02Making these cohesive is still part of the challenge.
17:05Don't just make a fabulous look for you.
17:08I know you don't want to listen.
17:09This is a skin situation, but.
17:12Wait, that's all out?
17:13No, it's not.
17:14Wait, wait.
17:16This is Disney.
17:18I know, I know.
17:19Where are my pearls?
17:25Antonio.
17:26What is happening over here?
17:27So what I'm going to do is I'm going to do this bubble dress,
17:30lace up in the back.
17:31And then I want to do a coat over it with these two different
17:35colored tools all over the coat.
17:37So it will be like a reveal.
17:39You're making kind of two dresses that you might not finish.
17:44Why can't this piece just be the moment?
17:46But this one's done already.
17:47I'm just waiting for my model.
17:48It's done because literally like my intern could sew that
17:52in 30 minutes.
17:52Like that's not hard.
17:55What?
17:57What the ?
17:58Don't lose it completely.
17:59But like, what else could this be?
18:00Could it have sculpture?
18:02Could it have some other element that anyone else has?
18:05Something's got to be cohesive.
18:06Like, don't you think the butterfly thing is
18:09because of you, right?
18:11Yeah.
18:12OK, so then you got to be amazing.
18:15I won't let you down.
18:17I feel like he kind of just like slapped me in the face.
18:20He was like, my intern can make that in 30 minutes.
18:22I'm like, OK.
18:24I'm a Gemini.
18:25I don't take critiques.
18:25I take critiques very like, don't tell me what to do.
18:29But I'm going to step it up.
18:31Step me up.
18:32No.
18:36Yuchen, what is your work normally like?
18:39My work is more like very futuristic, very edgy, and very avant-garde.
18:44So I think you should do that because this doesn't feel very futuristic.
18:47OK.
18:48It doesn't feel that avant-garde.
18:49To be honest, I haven't made garments like this before.
18:52For my brand, I always like, you know, making ready-to-wear.
18:54It's always very futuristic, very powerful.
18:57I'm here to challenge myself.
18:59My inspiration for this look is from Taka.
19:02So I'm making this like tool and lace dress with flowers and veins growing over and with
19:10a veil.
19:11Please don't be ugly.
19:12OK.
19:13Thank you, Christian.
19:14Jesus.
19:15Yes.
19:16What's happening?
19:17I'm basically doing a powerful coat dress.
19:19All right.
19:20I also have another dress underneath.
19:22Right.
19:23So I think the challenge for you is how to make this feel more fashion, like something
19:28forward-thinking.
19:30I know in my head how the final product's going to look, and I think it's elegant.
19:35Now it's about how to make this feel like really modern, you know?
19:39Yeah, yeah.
19:40OK.
19:41I would love a tour of the brain.
19:44Well, we know that a villain loves a cape.
19:48I'm doing my version of a cape, where the cape is going to connect to the top of the head.
19:54Love it.
19:55And then clean, simple, classic underneath.
19:58Mm-hmm.
19:59So this is a pant and a top.
20:01Yep.
20:02Pant and a top.
20:03Then the twist.
20:04Oh, I love a twist.
20:05I will pattern in a curved glove pattern.
20:08I don't think they want it to feel too costumy.
20:11So I do think that that is important with your look, because you have such a dramatic moment.
20:18Try not to get in my head about it.
20:19Try not to get in my head about it.
20:21I don't know.
20:23I don't know.
20:24I don't know.
20:25I don't know.
20:26I don't know.
20:26I don't know.
20:27How's the team going?
20:28We've got some independent creatures.
20:30We do, of course.
20:31Of course.
20:32We have a bitchy one in here.
20:34You have an assassin one?
20:35Yeah.
20:35Ooh.
20:36This thing over there in the corner.
20:37Ooh.
20:38Vijay?
20:39Oh, yeah.
20:40She's what we call in the business.
20:42A .
20:43Mm-hmm.
20:44Interesting.
20:45Wow.
20:46I don't think there's a problem with being old , but when it's your own team, come on.
20:52We just have a rectangle and fabric draped on the mannequin.
20:55I don't know what, like, the vibe is.
20:58We have four more hours to finish everything, and then you will be sending your models to
21:02the Ulta Beauty Salon, and I'll see you guys in a little bit for model fittings.
21:07Don't turn into a pumpkin.
21:09Bye.
21:10Bye.
21:13We are meeting right now.
21:14I think the House of Villains didn't get enough great feedback from Christian Suriano, so
21:19I must demand a team meeting right now because I cannot go home on the first challenge.
21:24Let's step back.
21:25It doesn't look cohesive.
21:28We need to add an element.
21:30I think the cohesiveness is all about the flowers that we have.
21:33It is floral, right?
21:34You're also the only one with lace, so we have to incorporate lace somewhere.
21:38I don't have more lace at all.
21:39Well, you need to cut a little piece, so it needs to be cohesive.
21:42Have you ever made a collection?
21:44Yeah.
21:45Being cohesive is making it that it looks like it's from the same collection and same design.
21:50I know, but why lace?
21:52No one has lace.
21:53That's what I'm saying.
21:54No one has this leather.
21:55Yeah.
21:56No one has this velvet.
21:57I'm adding velvet on mine.
21:58I'm adding your flower as well.
22:00Mr. Yushin, this is a team challenge.
22:02I'm not meaning taking his lace to, like, sabotage him.
22:05I'm just trying to do the best that I can.
22:06For the red, I mean, it's beautiful, but it seems like we don't have red for any other
22:09looks.
22:10I think it's okay.
22:11Yeah.
22:12I think if you do, like, a red pop of color.
22:14I also, I'm very competitive in there.
22:15I want to hold black.
22:16I don't really understand why I have to devote my lace.
22:19Why he's doing this to me?
22:21Well, he's the biggest problem in a team.
22:23I'm just saying if we want to make the collection cohesive, you're the only one with lace.
22:30Wow, Yushin, he's definitely being a little shady bitch.
22:34If you're not here to be a team player, there's going to be a problem throughout this whole competition.
22:43Today is the first runway, and I'm just so scared what's going to happen.
22:47Not myself, but for other designers.
22:51She's part of Team Villain, so it's just slicked back.
22:54I want something, like, you know, crying, smoky.
22:56Okay, thank you.
22:57You stand right here.
22:59This is great.
23:00Look at the proportions.
23:01Look at, you can't see her waist.
23:02You've got nothing.
23:03I'm not going to make her look like a piñata.
23:05But that's kind of what it looks like.
23:07Oh, my God.
23:08I'm running out of time, and then I have to do a belt for this coat dress.
23:12I didn't want to have her look like a loofah.
23:14Silence!
23:22Where's the model?
23:23Oh, my God.
23:24This is more stressful than Cinderella at the ball.
23:27You are still sewing?
23:29No, this one, like...
23:30Mmm!
23:31It's not sewing, Heidi, in three, two...
23:37Hi, everybody!
23:38Hi!
23:42All right, designers.
23:43That's it.
23:44That's time.
23:45You are coming.
23:46Come on.
23:47Please meet our Project Runway judges, my longtime friend, editor-in-chief of Elle Magazine, Nina Garcia.
23:52Woo!
23:53Here you are.
23:54Baby, that woman is powerful.
23:58I hope Nina Garcia sees my look, and she, like, sees me in my princess.
24:03The FDA award-winning stylist and image architect, La Roche.
24:10I'm thrilled.
24:11La Roche, incredible celebrity stylist.
24:14He's worked with Zendaya.
24:16La Roche can tear me a new one whenever the man wants, okay?
24:19And please meet again our mentor, Christian Sirianna.
24:24Welcome to our first show of the season of Project Runway.
24:27As you know, in fashion, one day you're in, and the next day, you're out.
24:31And in my case, you're back in again.
24:33Woo!
24:36For our first challenge, our designers formed Fashion Houses, two teams of six designers
24:42creating cohesive collections inspired by Disney princesses or Disney villains.
24:49Woo!
24:50Let's start the show!
24:51Woo!
24:59I feel so confident.
25:01This dress is really giving a vibe of cool, modern.
25:05I would walk out of here with that, happy.
25:07Yeah.
25:08I'm telling you, that girl is a villain.
25:11You can wear it now.
25:12It's not so costuming.
25:13I think it's beautiful.
25:18Seeing my look go down the runway, I'm really happy.
25:20I'm proud of it.
25:25Just to see the scarf dragging, so it gave some kind of sense of elegance and dramatic effect.
25:31The shape of my gown looks so clean and elegant.
25:36I love the way the light hits the velvet.
25:39The collar is exciting.
25:41It gives drama.
25:42It's very well, too.
25:43I couldn't be more pleased that this is the first piece that the judges see for me.
25:48I am so happy she's giving me a villain vibe.
25:56The leather is moving.
25:58The pants is well made.
26:00Perfectly tailored for her.
26:02It's like I'm so speechless.
26:04Yes.
26:06Wow.
26:07I'm pinching myself, seeing my look going down the runway.
26:10It's perfect, chic, and I feel like she looks like the villain.
26:15Oh!
26:16Don't put your curse on me.
26:17I know!
26:25This look is the magnum opus of my mix between grand and sophisticated.
26:31Look at the detail of the glove.
26:33It's so witchy.
26:34It's harnessing wind, and it just feels like I have created something that is truly special.
26:42I hope that they get a good meal from what I'm serving.
26:46Yes!
26:47I feel the Joseph McCray princess gracing the space.
26:58I just cannot take my eyes off with my girl, because she is so beautiful.
27:02And I did that.
27:04Did you say daytime princess?
27:05Daytime. She's going to lunch.
27:10I think it looks cute.
27:11I think she looks good.
27:13I feel good, actually.
27:14I just am not the kind of person to be like, oh, my God.
27:18Whoever did this knows how to sew.
27:20The construction is really great.
27:23When my model walks down the runway, it's definitely giving modern Jasmine for sure.
27:29And I see emotions being provoked when she's walking, and that's what I want.
27:34So I'm feeling confident about my look. It's a vibe.
27:38I'm feeling emotional and happy of the work.
27:40Seeing my model in my beautiful butterfly fabric that I brought from home makes me feel so nurtured, love, and accomplished.
27:49Is that camouflage?
27:51It's like a butterfly print.
27:56She is just floating in my gown, and it's exactly the feeling I wanted.
28:01It is modern princess feeling.
28:04I love how the tool floats.
28:07It's like a little dance happening on the fabric.
28:12I feel very proud.
28:14Seeing my princess slash queen's garment, whoo, I think she definitely owned the space.
28:21I knew that it was over.
28:27Designers, congratulations!
28:30That was a very special first show.
28:32Well done!
28:34Now we have to see which house has a fairytale ending, and which one just ends.
28:40My heart is racing, and I love my look.
28:42I'm sure the judges want to see more of me.
28:45I mean, what is there not to love of Antonio, right?
28:48But you never know. It's anyone's game.
28:56Welcome to your home away from home, the runway.
28:59Amazing.
29:01This was a great first challenge, and applause to all of you guys, because really everyone did a great job.
29:07But we're going to start nitpicking now.
29:11Yeah.
29:13We have scored your designs, and only one house has risen to the top.
29:18The best look will come from the winning house, while the eliminated designer will come from the losing house.
29:25The winning house for this challenge is...
29:30House of Villains.
29:31This team was a hard one to work with, but we won. We won. We won.
29:41Congratulations.
29:44Unfortunately, that means house of princes. You were the losing house.
29:48You can leave the runway. We'll talk to you later.
29:53Oh, my God.
29:55I didn't think I belonged here.
29:59I am shocked.
30:00What just happened?
30:03This feels horrible.
30:07So, congratulations. You guys are winning a house.
30:10Your clothes really spoke to the challenge, but also did in a way that felt really modern.
30:17That separated you from the other team.
30:19Your collection, at least, looked cohesive.
30:24All right, let's talk to the top three of our favorite looks.
30:30Ethan.
30:32Ta-da!
30:34We also loved Yuchin.
30:39And we had a little bit of a debate over the third spot.
30:45It is Jesus.
30:48Yes!
30:50Alex.
30:51Angelo.
30:52BJ.
30:53You're safe.
30:54And you can leave the runway.
30:55Thank you so much.
30:56Thank you, baby.
30:59Thank you, guys.
31:01All right.
31:02Let's bring out your models.
31:05You were our three favorite looks tonight.
31:08All right, Yuchin.
31:09Let's talk about your looks.
31:11To me, this is now.
31:13I love this, especially now.
31:14Everything is about sheer.
31:15And so I feel like you're right on what's happening right now.
31:18And she looks beautiful.
31:19I would wear this, too.
31:20Gorgeous.
31:21I really like your dress.
31:23It's young.
31:24It's sexy.
31:25It's gothic.
31:26It's evil.
31:27I can definitely see Jenna Ortega in this dress
31:30at a premiere of Wednesday Addams.
31:33A slight change.
31:34I would have switched the styling with the boots,
31:36but I think it is a really, really great dress.
31:38And I think it is very commercial.
31:40The flower in the back is curious,
31:42but I love the ruching that you did on the bodice.
31:47If we change this black into pink,
31:49you could be in the princess.
31:51Yeah, thank you.
31:52Just say.
31:53Yeah.
31:54I'm versatile.
31:55All right.
31:56Oh, me too.
32:00Ethan, we're going to talk to you next.
32:02Hello, distinguished panel of judges.
32:04Okay.
32:06Your model is actually quite petite.
32:08However, she felt grandiose.
32:12It was like this dark shadow had just slithered
32:15through the stage.
32:17It wasn't just the clothes.
32:19It was a feeling.
32:21The construction was really, really good.
32:23The velvet was a great idea.
32:25Velvet always looked so rich.
32:27There was a little things that I noticed on the cape.
32:30There was a scene that I wish I didn't see.
32:33And a little bit of the hymn is puckering,
32:35but you did such a beautiful job.
32:37Bravo, my love.
32:38It's giving me villain,
32:39but it's not giving me costume.
32:41I feel like if you don't have this cape on,
32:43you wear this jumpsuit underneath.
32:44It's, like, modern.
32:45It's cool.
32:46I would want to wear it.
32:47I love the nails,
32:48because this little detail,
32:50I was like, yes!
32:52And she looks stunning.
32:54All right, Jesus.
32:56Jesus, it's so lovely to see you again.
32:59It was bold of you to choose a color
33:03when everybody else stuck to black.
33:06I think that's why you're up here,
33:08is because in a sea of black,
33:09to have this fabrication
33:11that feels really rich and really luxe
33:13was really important.
33:14For me, it was very important
33:15to make her feel sexy,
33:17and I think that I embody that.
33:19I love the coat.
33:20I think it's fabulous.
33:22I hated it.
33:24I was the only one I was out judged.
33:26Hate is such a big word.
33:28It's a short word.
33:29It's only four letters.
33:32I'm sorry if you hate the coat.
33:34I hate the whole look.
33:38Aw, don't get emotional.
33:41Please.
33:42We liked it.
33:43I love how your model looks.
33:45She feels regal.
33:47We need ambitious designers.
33:49Yes.
33:50Guys, I have to disagree
33:52with everything Nina said.
33:54To me, she doesn't look cool.
33:56She doesn't look young.
33:57She looks like a Nigerian auntie.
33:59I have clients of all different sizes,
34:01ages, and one thing you have to care about
34:05is the placement of the breast.
34:07Then you could have done something
34:09to lift the breast a little bit more.
34:11If you're gonna say that you wanna make
34:13a curvy woman feel beautiful and powerful
34:15and all those things,
34:16do you have to do it in your design?
34:18Does anyone disagree with any of that?
34:20Yeah.
34:22A lot of the times I feel like designers
34:24put a curvy girl into something so loose
34:27that we can't see the beautiful curves.
34:29Then I think you look beautiful.
34:31Okay.
34:32All right.
34:33Now it's time to name our winner.
34:35Congratulations, Ethan.
34:47You're the winner of this challenge.
34:48Yes.
34:49Shut up.
34:51Crown me, baby,
34:53because the queen is on top this week.
34:57Yurika won.
34:58He said.
34:59He said.
35:00He said.
35:01He said.
35:02He said.
35:03He said.
35:04He said.
35:05Oh!
35:06Feels right.
35:07La Roche was rocked.
35:09I'm so shocked right now.
35:11Shocked.
35:12Shocked.
35:13Shocked.
35:14It feels like I'm not on the top,
35:15even though I should be celebrating being on the top.
35:18I feel a little attacked.
35:20I'm gagged.
35:22But, and I think it's very critical for me moving forward
35:26to really listen to what the judges have to say.
35:29All I have to do is prove him wrong.
35:31What was the feedback for yours?
35:33What did they have to say?
35:34Oh, good.
35:35Yeah?
35:36And does it really get some, like, you know,
35:37very good advices, you know?
35:38But my advice to you is through this challenge,
35:41like, every time I would be like,
35:43oh, can we do this?
35:44You're like, no, no, no.
35:45Just, sometimes you do have,
35:47sometimes you have to listen.
35:49But girl, I have to say what I'm saying.
35:51So, remember you talking about my lace?
35:53You're saying everyone take a piece of the lace
35:55from your chance.
35:56Did I say that?
35:57Everybody take a piece of his lace.
35:58We have the camera on there.
35:59Okay, bro.
36:01It was a team challenge,
36:02and that was just a request.
36:03I know.
36:04I have my own opinion.
36:05I'm a very mature designer,
36:06so nobody need to tell me anything
36:08unless I want to take it, okay?
36:10You're getting really offended.
36:12Really is throwing me off.
36:14Right, right, right.
36:15Like, seriously?
36:16Mm-hmm.
36:17You know what you're doing, girl.
36:18No, I don't know what I'm doing.
36:19You don't know.
36:20You don't know.
36:21Child.
36:22All right, let's bring out House of Princess.
36:33House of Princess, you made our least favorite collection.
36:36It was not cohesive.
36:38Unfortunately, there were three looks that were less Disney
36:41and more dismal.
36:44Balania, Madeline, Joan, you're safe,
36:50and you can leave the runway.
36:51Thank you for running here.
36:53Woo!
36:54Woo!
37:01Unfortunately, that means Casey, Joseph, and Antonio.
37:05You had the three bottom looks.
37:07I'm not being punked.
37:10Am I being punked?
37:19Am I being punked?
37:20No.
37:21Okay.
37:22Mm-hmm.
37:24All right, let's bring out your models.
37:33Joseph, we're gonna start with you first.
37:34Like, I did not see the inspo.
37:37I knew that that was you,
37:38but I just don't get princess from this thing.
37:40I wish that you would have picked Elaine.
37:43You have volume,
37:44but then you have her wrapped up in this skirt
37:48that seems to be strangling her.
37:51It's a question of proportions.
37:53You're playing with too many.
37:55I disagree.
37:56I enjoy the way you play with proportions.
37:59I like the coat.
38:00He popped that coat off,
38:01and it was a sweetheart bodice dress.
38:03But it isn't.
38:04I like it.
38:05I think she looks really cool.
38:07I can see some of my clients wearing this.
38:09To me...
38:10We agreed to disagree.
38:11Yeah, we agreed to disagree.
38:14Can she turn around?
38:17Yeah.
38:18Now the back isn't great.
38:19This is not. I'm sorry.
38:20The back is a couch cushion.
38:22Okay, Antonia.
38:23If you had asked ChatGBT
38:25to help you make a John Batista Valley for $100,
38:28then that's what that look was.
38:31After Christian's critiques,
38:33I did change my look a few times,
38:35and there is another dress underneath.
38:38Is the dress still underneath?
38:39Yeah.
38:40Let's see it.
38:41Oh, yeah.
38:42Yeah.
38:43Well, Christian told me his intern
38:44can make that dress in 30 minutes.
38:45Oh, you can't blame it on everything on Christian.
38:48I just think this dress underneath an intern
38:50could make it in 30 minutes.
38:51It's a tube dress.
38:52You couldn't have shown that by itself.
38:54But, you know, why didn't you let it be open?
38:56I don't know why you put the belt on it.
38:59I didn't know you were gonna cover up
39:00the butterflies completely.
39:02It's better this way.
39:03Yeah, because with that cute little mini dress under it,
39:05at least you see her body.
39:07It's charming.
39:09But this is not how we saw it.
39:10She just looked like a big loofah.
39:12When Christian was criticized,
39:14I was like, don't think it's gonna be a pinata.
39:16Stop blaming it on Christian.
39:17You're here now.
39:18No, I'm not blaming Christian.
39:19I wrote...
39:20He knows.
39:21I'm a Gemini, and I don't like people
39:23telling me what to do.
39:24And I was like, you're an adult.
39:26You're gonna listen to Christian.
39:27He's here for a reason.
39:28He's your mentor.
39:29And I did listen to him.
39:30And that's why I changed my look three times.
39:31And, you know, you pushed me to...
39:33Oh, he's spicy.
39:34...to be better.
39:35The inspo of the butterfly comes from which princess?
39:38Which princess?
39:39I mean, every princess.
39:42Antonio, but you're being so defensive.
39:44No, I'm not.
39:45We're just trying to understand your work.
39:46No, you are.
39:47I'm trying to explain myself.
39:48I'm sorry if I'm coming out.
39:49Right.
39:50But I don't think there's any reason to be defensive.
39:51No, I'm not being defensive at all.
39:52I'm just explaining myself.
39:53Sorry if I'm coming out.
39:54No, I think Nina's right to call that out.
39:56I think you are being defensive and also a little bit rude.
40:00It's okay to be criticized and to be...
40:03I'm taking the criticism.
40:04...and to be, you know, let down by the criticism,
40:07but to kind of, like, throw it back.
40:10Joby's post has really been really quite nasty.
40:13I'm just letting you know.
40:14Okay.
40:15One girl to another.
40:16Maybe it's my Latina side.
40:17Maybe.
40:22Next.
40:24Casey, let's talk about your look.
40:26I really love this chacard.
40:29And I wish that all this other stuff would disappear.
40:33I don't know.
40:34To me, it looks like a nightgown.
40:36You know, it's very lackluster in terms of, like, shape and everything.
40:40And what you then wrapped around, to me, looks like an afterthought.
40:44Can she turn around?
40:45Yes.
40:46The ribbon is what I hated.
40:47Yeah.
40:48What if I stood back?
40:49A hundred percent.
40:50I want to see, like, more design.
40:52Is that inspiring?
40:53I love the deep plunge.
40:55I just think it was a miss.
40:56Because you had everything to make something so beautiful
41:00and so fairytale-like.
41:02And you kind of missed it.
41:05I hear ya.
41:06All right, designers, we have to make a decision.
41:08You can leave the runway.
41:15This is so much fun.
41:17I love this, y'all.
41:18Yeah, I can tell.
41:21I don't know if they're gonna make it out alive at the end.
41:27Can you see what's happening?
41:29You're good.
41:30But you know what?
41:31I'm just a little bit dry.
41:32I'm just a little bit dry.
41:33Yeah, I'm just a little bit dry.
41:36I guess we can all agree that Joseph is not going home, right?
41:39There's so much going on, but the color was really beautiful.
41:43The combination of fabrics were very wonderful.
41:46He's like, I'm making what I make.
41:49Couches.
41:50Casey, Nina, what did you think?
41:52The dress was a complete mess.
41:54It was horrible.
41:55It was a mess.
41:56And boring, too.
41:57It's literally like she took a staple gun.
41:58It was just like...
41:59No, it was awful.
42:00I'm an adult, and I'm gonna take criticism about bitch.
42:03When you're putting words in my mouth, like...
42:04Antonio, blah, what were your thoughts?
42:06That dress, when he opened it up, was really cute.
42:09I'm like 30 minutes to make that dress.
42:11Yeah, but the coat made.
42:12I like that it was a coat.
42:13I know, but what if he didn't have that coat?
42:15Yeah.
42:16No, he needed that kind of.
42:17He's like, whoa, your attitude, I'm like, oh, bitch.
42:20That attitude is so bad.
42:23What did he say?
42:24It's probably just the Latina in me, girl.
42:26I was like, yeah, all right.
42:29That's not an excuse.
42:30So with my Nina, baby.
42:31Yeah.
42:32You could be very talented, but if you have a bad attitude,
42:36and you can't work with others in this industry,
42:39we have seen it.
42:41Bad attitude is a problem.
42:43I'm so proud of myself.
42:46It's just very emotional, you know?
42:49And intense, like.
42:51It's just intense.
42:53I just feel like I'm in shock a bit.
42:56Right now, like, um, I actually really loved my dress.
43:01Being in this position again.
43:02I never thought I'd be in the bottom three.
43:04At this stage of the competition again, like,
43:06after being eliminated on episode one of another season,
43:09like, it just feels like a bad joke.
43:11I don't want to go home.
43:13You're so mean.
43:14I'm like, no.
43:15Why am I here?
43:16I didn't think my design was the worst.
43:20But being in the bottom three, I feel, like, shattered.
43:22Do I really need to be here?
43:23Do I really need this?
43:24It's like, let's just go home.
43:25So do we say home the bad dress or the bad attitude?
43:29I want to go home.
43:30No.
43:31No.
43:32No.
43:33No.
43:34No.
43:35No.
43:36No.
43:37No.
43:38No.
43:39No.
43:40No.
43:41No.
43:42No.
43:43If I say it, my attitude's going to be worse.
