00:00This is Project OneWay.
00:07Joan, Eugene, we made our decision.
00:11Joan, we asked you to take us to the streets,
00:15but you took us to the sanctuary.
00:17I'm feeling bad.
00:19My luck spoke to who I am as a designer,
00:22but maybe I should have listened to Christian and Jesus.
00:26Eugene, this was your challenge to shine.
00:30But give us nothing new.
00:32I'm sorry.
00:33I feel so disappointed
00:35because streetwear is supposed to be my challenge.
00:37I feel like I disappoint everyone, especially Laura.
00:40I'm sorry.
00:45Joan.
00:52I'm sorry you're out.
00:54Eugene, that means you're in.
00:56You can leave the runway.
00:57Sure.
00:58Oh, no worries, sweetie.
01:00Oh, no.
01:01It's okay.
01:02It's okay.
01:03It's okay.
01:04I'm sorry.
01:05You're so sweet.
01:07You're so sweet.
01:12Aw.
01:13Aw.
01:14The babies.
01:15I just wanted to say we all think that you're a great designer.
01:19And, you know, this was not your week.
01:21This was not your challenge.
01:22You will go back to your business.
01:23Yes.
01:24You dress amazing women.
01:26And I thank you guys for this opportunity.
01:28I am one of the older designers.
01:30You know, I'm 60.
01:31I'm fabulous.
01:32Yeah.
01:33You are.
01:34You can definitely walk out of here with your head up high.
01:37Yes.
01:38I get to hear.
01:39Auf Wiedersehen.
01:40Auf Wiedersehen.
01:42Mwah.
01:43Thank you, Heidi.
01:44All the best to you, Joe.
01:45It's been a pleasure.
01:46Bye.
01:47Bye, John.
01:48Bye.
01:49You better work for 60, Mama.
01:51Okay.
01:52Oh.
01:53Oh.
01:54She's coming from my job.
01:56I just feel so bad that Miss Joan is going home.
02:03I take it personally.
02:04I feel like John has to go home because of me.
02:06It's okay, baby.
02:07It's okay.
02:08Oh, Miss Joan.
02:10I'm going home.
02:11Stop it.
02:12No.
02:13What are you apologizing about?
02:15You are just starting your career.
02:17Oh, my Lord.
02:18Yuchen, come on now.
02:21You have another opportunity to show them who you are.
02:25It's been a pleasure meeting all you guys and working with you.
02:31And you're so talented.
02:32Oh, I don't want to cry.
02:34Ah!
02:35That my auntie.
02:37I love her.
02:39Miss Joan, you are the joy of this season.
02:44Saying bye to Miss Joan is one of the hardest things to do.
02:49She is one of those people that I connected in a deeper level.
02:53She's a very hardworking person.
02:54She's kind.
02:55And I'm going to miss her.
02:57It makes my heart full to even be in the room with you guys.
03:03Miss Joan, she's got that just love in her soul.
03:07And she's offered me a lot of love and a lot of safe space.
03:10And I'm going to miss my little safe space.
03:13Kristen.
03:14Kristen.
03:15Joan.
03:16They said I took them to church, Kristen.
03:19And not to the street.
03:20See, that's because you weren't there at Moves with me to stop me from buying that bathroom.
03:26Call me anytime, okay?
03:27I sure will.
03:28Project Runway saved my life, y'all.
03:33I came in this competition to prove to myself that I deserve to be here, that I'm strong, and I'm proud of myself.
03:43Miss Joan, child.
03:44Mm, mm, mm.
03:45I left it all on the runway.
03:48It's six of us now, so the competition is getting steep.
04:06I must make it to the final five.
04:09Oh, my God.
04:10Wow.
04:11Oh, my gosh.
04:12I could use a nice dress.
04:13Oh, my God.
04:14How do you feel?
04:15I feel okay.
04:16I feel like I didn't really get a win.
04:18Congratulations.
04:19And I'm like, uh, I don't really feel like that.
04:22Last challenge, Lost said that Bellana had an issue with her body language, which is being criticized.
04:27When you are being critiqued, your body language gets a little nasty.
04:31I was not doing that.
04:34Wait.
04:35I agree with you, but I have to tell the foundation first.
04:38This is my creative process.
04:43This is my creative process.
04:44She's like...
04:49I don't know if that's what I was like.
04:51Is that how I look?
04:52Bellana, I love you, girl, but we gotta work on the attitude, girl.
04:56I don't like people telling me what to do.
04:59Are you guys ready for the next challenge?
05:02I'm the only one that hasn't won.
05:04You're the only one who hasn't won.
05:07I was so close last week to take that win home, which means now I can just taste the win for this next week.
05:16So leaving this challenge, you're gonna win it.
05:23Let's see if he can do it without his brother's help.
05:26Let's go!
05:27Let's go!
05:28Let's go!
05:29Let's go!
05:30Christian!
05:31Christian!
05:32Oh, Heidi!
05:33How are you feeling?
05:34Like I'm ready for some horsing around.
05:40Well, giddy up!
05:41Let's bring in those designers!
05:43Woo!
05:44Wow!
05:45Oh, my God!
05:46Bringing me back home!
05:47Oh, my God!
05:48Oh, he needs to step stool.
05:49Look at some big horse!
05:50Chiquito!
05:51This is gonna take a hot minute.
05:52Oh!
05:53I missed it.
05:54Ye to the ha!
05:55You really get your groin out there!
05:56Yeah!
05:57That worked!
05:58Well, as you know, in fashion, one day you're in, and the next day, you're out.
06:11What started out as 12 designers is now down to the dirty half dozen.
06:17For this next challenge, it's all about Western flair.
06:22Not only is pop culture obsessed with all things country, from Yellowstone to the Queen Bee herself, Cowboy Carter,
06:29but runways across the world are saddling up to fresh takes on classic country Western styles, fabrication, and design.
06:37So, for this next challenge, you will be tapping into the zeitgeist and creating a look that is your take on Western chic.
06:46Western is one of the challenges that Antonio and I are so excited to have in the competition.
06:51I mean, I basically live with a cowboy.
06:54I love my cowboy hats.
06:56I love my cowboy boots.
06:57His closet, it's literally all Western.
06:59Chaps, like, leather jackets.
07:01This could be my win.
07:03You have sunrise to sunset to complete your look.
07:07Half of us are gone, and now another one-day challenge is gonna decide.
07:12The final five.
07:14The anxiety levels are ramping up, like...
07:18All right, good luck, designers.
07:20Christian, should we mosey?
07:22Thanks, divas.
07:23Mwah!
07:30Oh, God.
07:32This place.
07:33I'd love, like, a burgundy leather.
07:35I know that a lot of designers are going to the leather section because, yes, it's a Western chic fashion challenge.
07:42And to me, why would I go there if all of you are already going there?
07:47Next.
07:48You're doing...
07:50How is this Western?
07:52You'll see.
07:53Oh.
07:54Silent killer.
07:55Like, I just don't understand how vinyl can be Western.
07:58Sway, sway, sway, sway.
08:00This week, the pressure is on.
08:02I have to win a challenge.
08:05What am I gonna do?
08:06So far in the competition, I've used a lot of color.
08:08I've used a lot of print.
08:09And I'm like, you know what?
08:10I'm gonna shock everyone and I'm gonna do white.
08:13I can do a mini skirt with French.
08:15I can do my jacket crop with French.
08:17Cuanto vale esta?
08:18It was, like, calling me.
08:19I was like...
08:20Okay, this is cool.
08:24I don't know too much about Western culture.
08:26You know what a lasso is?
08:28Lasso, no.
08:29This looks like Christmas.
08:31Do not get this.
08:33This challenge is very personal for me because Antonio and I are from Northern Mexico.
08:39When I was three, I remember coming into America in our cowboy boots.
08:44So for this look, I really want to lean into a Western, Indigenous vibe.
08:49It's in my roots and it's in my DNA.
08:52And that's why I need to find the perfect fabric because I have to deliver.
09:02All right!
09:04I love my fabric.
09:07Your fabric loves you.
09:10Guys, I'm putting the interfacing by the muslin, okay?
09:13Getting into the workroom, I automatically just go straight to cutting my fabric.
09:17Because I really want to figure out what I'm gonna make for under this coat now.
09:22I got this beautiful leather, but I don't have much of it.
09:26So I have to be really careful in how I use this leather.
09:29And at this point, I have to make something so innovative and amazing to be able to win this challenge.
09:38Oh, .
09:42Clearly you can interface on leather.
09:44What?
09:45Oh, .
09:47I just up my fabric.
09:49It burned it.
09:50Stop!
09:51Stop.
09:52Oh, no.
09:53Like, I don't know what to do.
09:54I'm freaking out.
09:55I have no backup.
09:56Holy shit.
10:02It burned it.
10:03Holy shit.
10:04I haven't really, like, messed up throughout this whole competition.
10:07And then this happens to me.
10:08I cannot believe I just did this.
10:13He interfaced almost all his fabrics for some reason.
10:16But leather already has a body.
10:19So why would you interface the leather?
10:22Wait.
10:23That looks cool, though.
10:24Use that as a top.
10:26It could even be a dress, bitch.
10:29The burning on Jesus' leather is giving kind of an armpit kind of energy.
10:35Okay.
10:36I'm gonna be honest with you.
10:37It looks like pit stains.
10:41Because of the coloring.
10:42Are you gonna treat it of some sort?
10:46Looks like boob sweat.
10:47Oh, .
10:50I trust Ethan's judgment, so am I screwed?
10:53At this point, there's nothing I can do.
10:56I just have to make it work.
11:02Hello.
11:03Hi, everybody.
11:04Ooh, should we go here?
11:06I'm doing these front panels.
11:08I am making a Ethan wear leather gown.
11:11She literally is gonna look like a python.
11:14We love, like, a little snake in the grass.
11:16I grew up on a farm and, you know, we had snakes.
11:19Did you really?
11:20You grew up on a farm?
11:21I grew up on country-western films, and I literally grew up on a farm.
11:25And these films surround themselves with powerful female energy.
11:30And I'm trying to pull that energy into my clothes.
11:33Yee-haw!
11:34I'm making a two-piece denim western-inspired set with a cotton button-down.
11:42Similar to what you just said.
11:43It's not.
11:44I promise it's not.
11:45It's gonna look totally different.
11:46All right.
11:47Are you feeling good?
11:48You won the last challenge.
11:49I feel like a disciplined child, though.
11:51What did Law say?
11:52My body language is disrespectful when I'm getting a critique, so I have to be sharp.
11:57After getting called out about my attitude last week, it's very, very important to me to show the judges that I'm listening.
12:05I need to leave it in the workroom and not bring it on stage.
12:11We're fringing?
12:12Yeah.
12:13You're gonna fringe this whole thing?
12:15For this challenge, I want it to be a little unexpected, but still western chic.
12:21Yes.
12:22I am making a futuristic vinyl fringe dress.
12:26How are you gonna do this?
12:28Hmm.
12:29That's a good cross shine.
12:31I'm gonna do a leather jacket crop.
12:33It's gonna have a mini skirt that I'm gonna fringe.
12:36Don't you think that it's, like, kind of a little bit done?
12:42He's right.
12:43It's just white leather jacket, a white leather skirt.
12:45But that's why I want the details to really stand out.
12:48I'm the only one that hasn't had a win.
12:49I've been on the top, but this close to winning.
12:52And I know that the techniques that I have in my brain can really take this look to the next level and win this challenge.
13:00What did you do?
13:01So, it was a mistake.
13:03Oh.
13:04I tried to interface my leather and then burn.
13:06I think maybe the burning technique is kind of interesting.
13:11Maybe you do more to the skirt.
13:14Thank God.
13:16Work it hard.
13:17So, I'm making this dress.
13:18Yeah.
13:19I wanted to make it all sequenced.
13:20Mm-hmm.
13:21And I'm gonna have, like, you know, a little bit dripping on here.
13:23I can buy this at the mall right now.
13:25I just wanted to take this shining part of Western, like, you know, culture.
13:29I get it.
13:30Like a performance S.
13:31Yeah.
13:32Like Dolly Parton.
13:33Do you know who that is?
13:34No.
13:35Oh, God.
13:38Are you all right?
13:39Need some water?
13:40No.
13:41No.
13:42I guess she's a very big country star.
13:45Yeah, she is.
13:47Here's my thing.
13:48You don't have to make a dress.
13:50You make jackets all the time.
13:51Why don't you make a cool jacket with fringe all over it?
13:54And you love the mini sexy skirt.
13:56And, like, why can't it be more you?
14:00I have to stick on dress.
14:02Fine.
14:03Goodbye.
14:04Good luck.
14:05Last challenge.
14:06The judges didn't like my pants and hoodie.
14:08So, I'm doing something different than making a dress.
14:11I've made my decision.
14:13I just hope I have enough time.
14:15But I will make something on the dress, though.
14:17I'm just telling you.
14:18I'm warning you.
14:19Okay.
14:22You have to win this one.
14:23Everybody has one except me.
14:25Yeah.
14:26I've been close.
14:27I know. You've been really close.
14:28How many times?
14:29I've been close two times.
14:30That was in the top twice.
14:31It's been very exciting to see my brother when he challenges.
14:34But I came into this competition thinking I was going to do better than him.
14:39Wow.
14:40I'm starting to think Jesus is my biggest competition.
14:46Designer, there's a new sheriff in town.
14:49And there's only going to be room for one twin in this competition.
14:53Who would it be?
14:54Are you sure, bitch?
14:55Who would it be?
14:56What is happening out here?
14:58Oh, my God.
14:59One of them has to go at some point.
15:01So, is it today?
15:02What?
15:03Oh, my Lord.
15:04I think that dealing with one twin is very challenging.
15:08And dealing with two twins is even more challenging.
15:11They should both go home.
15:15BJ can act bored all she wants, but she's going to wake up real quick when she's in the bottom.
15:21What is that bake for?
15:22It's a tumbleweed.
15:23Girl, that's a wig.
15:24That's a tumbleweed.
15:25That's a tumbleweed.
15:26It's a tumbleweed.
15:27It's a tumbleweed.
15:28It's a tumbleweed.
15:29Oh, my Lord.
15:30It's not working.
15:31I feel really bad for Yushin because I think that he does not have a clue what Western is.
15:46I mean, he didn't know who Dolly Parton is.
15:48So, if you don't know who Dolly Parton is, you do not know what Western is.
15:51I'm interested to see how he pumps that out.
15:53I don't understand why he's doing a gown and not something that's in his element.
15:58He's pushing himself.
16:00I have hit a wall.
16:02I feel stuck and I'm moving so slow.
16:05I am so thankful for my second chance, but I need to prove I belong here.
16:11Hello.
16:12Hello.
16:13Does anybody want to ride on my pony?
16:15Yes.
16:16Yes.
16:17Do I put it in the front or in the back?
16:20Oh, my God.
16:21Okay.
16:22Give me my pony back.
16:23All right.
16:24Enough of the pony.
16:25Okay.
16:26Let's bring in your model.
16:27I don't know about the skirt.
16:32The top looks really cool.
16:33The skirt doesn't look cool yet.
16:35Can you, like, scratch it?
16:36I am.
16:37I think it's ruined the fitting.
16:38Okay.
16:39You burn it.
16:40I burn it.
16:41I love it.
16:42I mean, I think the whole look turned out so good.
16:45I cannot believe that this mistake might turn out to be the greatest mistake I've ever done in this competition.
16:52It's looking almost like a piece of art.
16:54What about we have a lot of, like, fringe from the hat?
16:56To the floor like that?
16:58Yeah.
16:59I think you should make your dress more interesting first.
17:02More interesting.
17:03Or you can add a jacket because it's boring.
17:06But I don't know how to make progress.
17:08Well, that's the challenge here, my friend.
17:13Mommy Christian is yelling at me.
17:15He want me to make a jacket, but I don't really have time.
17:18Since we already have the base dress, it's time for me to think about how am I going to make this more Western?
17:24One question.
17:25Do you think this hat wore this hat?
17:27I don't care about your stupid hat.
17:30I care about your dress.
17:32Hmm.
17:34What is your story?
17:35I don't have a story.
17:37No, but you have to give them something.
17:39If I had to go to a Western event, I would make this for myself.
17:42I would make this for myself and put it on.
17:44That's all I'm going to say.
17:45Yeah, Christian, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
17:49Does it get a shoulder pad?
17:51I think we can give you a shoulder pad.
17:54Doing this challenge, I know that I want to create something unexpected and out of the box.
17:59And what I'm doing, I think it's different, but it's a cool dress.
18:04BJ, you don't need any other accessories.
18:06Absolutely.
18:07You don't need any.
18:08No, get that bag out of here.
18:09You have a classic fringe dress.
18:11BJ is very proud of her look, but girl, I feel like she's going to be in the bottom.
18:16I feel like she thinks she thought outside the box, but I don't think she did.
18:20I think she made her model look like a box.
18:23Keep it simple.
18:26All right, designers.
18:27That's it.
18:28That's time with your models.
18:29Thank you so much, ladies.
18:31Love you.
18:32Love you.
18:33Less than three hours to go.
18:35And then we're going home.
18:40How to make it interesting?
18:41How to make it interesting?
18:42Maybe give her an old time, like, saloon girls bustle.
18:46Nah.
18:47Or like a really cool neck scarf.
18:49Scarf?
18:50Girl, I'm throwing you ideas.
18:51You either pick them up and run with them or you figure it out on your own.
18:56Okay.
18:57I think that Yuchen is scared of this challenge.
18:59It is both out of his culture and he's been really shook up these last two challenges.
19:05I'm so tired.
19:08Literally, I've been cutting the fringe for like eight hours.
19:11I know.
19:12You have a two-day challenge.
19:13Yeah.
19:14For real.
19:15I am pushing myself to the point of exhaustion.
19:18I know it's risky, but I hope that the judges will see the work that I put in.
19:23And maybe if they don't love it, they'll give me some grace to keep me from going home.
19:29It's no time.
19:32One hour left, you guys.
19:35It's no time.
19:38Ethan's dress is similar to the dress that I made from the Boring Fabric Challenge.
19:45The judges don't like it when you show something that the other designers have already done.
19:50Jesus, I saw Ethan's dress and it kind of reminded me of the gray dress that I made for Luz, right?
19:57Maybe it's unintentional, you know, but what do you think?
20:00Well, well, well, the bitch is staring the pots.
20:04I mean, I think it's very him.
20:08Yeah.
20:09It's definitely going to stand out.
20:11What do you think about yourself?
20:13Um...
20:16It's okay.
20:17I think it's important to be original and if your work is referencing the work of your other competitors, then it means that you need to change that and you need to come up with something else.
20:29I don't want to cause drama, but I need to talk to Ethan.
20:32Okay.
20:33Are you going to be doing a lot of the crisscross detail?
20:37Mm-hmm.
20:38Because when I saw your dress, it kind of reminded me of the gray dress.
20:42Which one?
20:43The wool.
20:44His?
20:45No, my dress.
20:46Yours.
20:47Yours.
20:48What the ?
20:49It's not similar, but it's kind of like the same idea where it's kind of like, it has kind of like a cutout here.
20:55I think that Vijay is spewing bullshit.
20:59I don't agree that a full crocodile gown has anything to do with her wool mini dress.
21:06So when I saw, I was like, I think I need to tell Ethan because the judges might call you out for that, especially Nina.
21:12I was like, don't copy each other.
21:16No way in hell would I want to plagiarize your boring work.
21:19So, buzz off.
21:23Woo!
21:24Hey!
21:25Howdy!
21:26Good morning, come on!
21:27Yee-haw!
21:28Today is the runway show and the pressure is on.
21:31We're so close to the top five and there's no room for mistakes.
21:35We'll see what happens on the runway.
21:41Jesus, who do you think is in trouble today?
21:44You.
21:45Me?
21:46Oh my God, why me?
21:47I don't know.
21:48I don't know what the judges are going to think.
21:49I know.
21:50It's very risky.
21:51It's risky for sure.
21:52I'm worried about Vijay.
21:53Well, I'm not really worried because I want her to be out of this competition.
21:56Model!
21:57Yay!
21:58What's up, girlfriend?
22:01Hello.
22:02Hello.
22:03Hello.
22:04Hey, Christian!
22:05Oh my God, you look so sexy.
22:10Let's see what's going on around here.
22:12Do you think the front fits perfect?
22:15I had to take this whole panel, remove it from the inside and put it over top to alleviate
22:21the boob space.
22:22My , I usually work with, they're all fake.
22:25They don't move.
22:26And then when I lift that up, that'll relieve the boob tension.
22:29So, like, real this whole competition has been, like, a journey.
22:35It looks cool.
22:37I mean, listen, I don't know what they're going to think because it's a wild card.
22:42Yeah.
22:43I just want you to be prepared.
22:44Oh, damn.
22:45I wanted to sell this before you came.
22:46Ah!
22:47The twins may live and breathe Western, but I'm coming off of a win and I finally know
22:51who I am.
22:52I'm not backing down.
22:53I'm coming for them.
22:54I just got to watch my body language.
22:56Antonio, please take off the glasses.
22:58I get it.
23:03So, are you going to do the whole booby horn situation?
23:07Yeah.
23:08I decided to make this bullhorn because I got inspired by Tibet culture, which is kind
23:16of similar to Western culture.
23:18In Tibetan culture, they put all these decorations on the bullhorn.
23:22That means good luck.
23:24And I know the bullhorn is screaming in the Western world.
23:27I think they're going to like it.
23:29You're going to be very, very slay on the stage.
23:37It's something.
23:38Yeah.
23:39She's very horny.
23:45All right, models, you guys can go to the Ulta Beauty salon now.
23:48We are back.
23:50Howdy, cowgirl.
23:51I want her to have pigtails, but I want it to be behind her ear.
23:54So, if I were to go into an Ulta Beauty, do they provide makeup services?
23:58Every Ulta Beauty store has a salon.
24:01Now, our professional stylists are trained to help you find your look, your vibe, and your moment.
24:06So, everything from makeup, to skincare, to hair care, we're here to make you feel and look amazing.
24:12Oh, that's very cool.
24:13All right, designers, that's it.
24:14That's time.
24:15Let's head to the runway.
24:16All right, designers, that's it.
24:18That's time.
24:19Let's head to the runway.
24:25Hi.
24:26Howdy, Heidi.
24:27Hi, Heidi.
24:28Hi, all.
24:29Hi.
24:30Welcome to the runway.
24:31As you know in fashion, one day you're in, and the next day you're out.
24:34For this challenge, you had one day to create your take on Western chic.
24:39Let's meet our judges.
24:41CFDA award-winning stylist and image architect, Laura Roach.
24:46And joining us, a country music star and the first African-American female to be nominated for a Grammy in the country music category, Mickey Guyton.
24:58Welcome.
24:59And executive vice president and creative director for Gap, Inc. and chief creative officer of Old Navy, Zach Posen.
25:08Oh, my God.
25:10Zach Posen.
25:11I've seen that face on Project Runway so many times.
25:14This is not cute.
25:15He is very meticulous with craftsmanship.
25:18One of the best designers that I know.
25:20It's great to be back in the saddle here on Project Runway.
25:24Yeah.
25:25No pun intended.
25:26All right, let's start the show.
25:33I nailed my look.
25:35It is Western and it's so chic.
25:38And this burn leather, what really was stressing me out, has turned into greatness.
25:43This burn is a technique that I would definitely do again.
25:46That is gorgeous.
25:48Oh, my God.
25:49Like I'm ready for a country make-up.
25:50Country takeover.
25:51Cowgirl glam with a rebel strut.
25:55Whiskey lips don't care much.
25:56As I see my look go down the runway, I'm excited.
25:59I'm proud of it.
26:01My eye goes directly to the denim and the tan leather and the sharp point cutouts look really
26:09cool.
26:10I like it a lot.
26:11This one just gives me chills.
26:12Mm-hmm.
26:13Like, I'd wear that right now.
26:14Now hear me roar just like a thunder.
26:18No, I ain't gonna play.
26:21I love this.
26:22I love seeing it just snake down the runway.
26:25It's like Roberto Balbalifung 10 years ago.
26:28I just wish it would fit better on the breasts.
26:30Feels really good to see what I have accomplished.
26:33The styling and the detail.
26:35And it's fun.
26:36It's a moment.
26:37And if there's anything I know how to do, it's a moment.
26:40Now hear me roar just like...
26:41Seems like taking me to a country-wide show, honey.
26:44Roar just like a thunder.
26:50I'm feeling so proud of myself.
26:52Showcasing a piece that I put all my soul and intentions into it.
26:56What?
26:57That is stunning.
26:59I'm a fierce competitor.
27:00Don't underestimate me.
27:02Today is gonna be tough.
27:04Mm-hmm.
27:05You're so good.
27:07Oh, yeah.
27:09Jump in and ride with me.
27:12Not your fault.
27:13My vision to create something unexpected and not the usual Western chic fashion is very risky.
27:21Looking at all the creations on the runway, mine is different.
27:26But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the judges will appreciate that I'm a designer who takes risks.
27:32It's like Casey Caldwell for Prana.
27:33I don't understand that.
27:34You don't wanna miss out.
27:35Woo!
27:36We'll be hard.
27:37As Lyris is going down the runway, I feel so happy.
27:48She's totally rocked out.
27:50And she looks so fierce.
27:52I'm very happy with the outcome.
27:54All right, now.
27:55Oh, no.
27:56She's gonna sell a garment.
27:57She's definitely gonna sell a garment.
27:58I can literally read Mrs. Law's face just by him rolling his eyes.
28:07I can see that some of these designers are in trouble, and I just hope I'm not one of them.
28:11Congratulations.
28:12That was quite the runway show.
28:15We scored your designs.
28:16Antonio.
28:17Jesus.
28:18Alania.
28:19You got our favorite designs this week.
28:34That means Ethan, Hugin, and Vijay, you had our least favorite designs today.
28:47You can leave the runway.
28:49Congrats.
28:50Thank you, thank you.
28:55Gag.
28:56It's getting hotter.
28:58I'm really sad that the judges did not love what I made, and the rest did not pay off.
29:03But I think I made something bold, and I did not make something basic and literal like the other designers here.
29:11They definitely had the most, like, accessible pieces out of everybody.
29:17Yeah.
29:18I'm just surprised to be in the bottle, because I know my look is really good, comparative to, like, some of these looks that are so, like...
29:28There's gotta be another word for boring.
29:30Like, I just don't think they're interesting.
29:31Like, if I can just go and buy them off the rack, I don't think that is interesting to me.
29:35So...
29:40You will see.
29:41Okay, let's bring out your models.
29:43Yes!
29:44Barbie!
29:45Stunning.
29:46Thank you so much.
29:49All right, Antonio.
29:50Let's start with you.
29:51Yeah.
29:52It is so special.
29:54Wow.
29:55And to do this in a day.
29:56And for that price.
29:57You kind of checked off the boxes for me.
29:58There's conchos.
29:59There's fringe.
30:00You're working with bow leather.
30:02And this band waistband.
30:04Oh, yeah.
30:05The belt.
30:06The top.
30:07The belt.
30:08The buckle was black, so I wrapped it in leather.
30:10Such a good idea.
30:11Did the braids.
30:12Risque.
30:13It gives it the fashion edge.
30:14It's stunning.
30:15I'm Latino, so I needed to sex it up a little bit.
30:17Hey!
30:18I think that this outfit is absolutely beautiful.
30:21Latinos in country music have a very beautiful love affair.
30:25Vaqueros.
30:26Yep.
30:27The conchos, everything.
30:28There's a huge Latino movement in country music.
30:30Yeah.
30:31And to see that and see that you're representing that is absolutely beautiful.
30:36The styling is absolutely phenomenal.
30:39The hair choice, the makeup choice.
30:41Really, really, really well done.
30:43Well, I think of you every time I style down.
30:46I mean, you should.
30:47I'm the best.
30:48I know.
30:49Yeah.
30:50Okay, Balania, we're gonna talk to you next.
30:53When this came out, I knew exactly it was you, which is great,
30:56because it's really showing us that you have a strong point of view.
30:59It's just absolutely stunning.
31:01Love the authenticity.
31:02Didn't feel like you were trying to interpret it as anything else but what it is.
31:06It was very genuine and honest.
31:08And I just thought the lines and everything were so beautiful.
31:10Just love it so much.
31:11You just did a great job.
31:12Thank you so much.
31:13The leather or suede material.
31:15Can she just turn?
31:16Yes, she is.
31:17It's great.
31:18I mean, there's kind of complicated things happening here, right?
31:20Yes, it is.
31:21That are kind of working together.
31:22You're playing with different proportions, layering, volumes, transparency, graphic,
31:28and it kind of all works.
31:30I feel like you always find this way of putting things together that, in theory, don't really work in a way, but it totally works.
31:39And that makes it new again.
31:40So, I loved it.
31:43Jesus!
31:44Hello.
31:45It's stunning.
31:47From every angle, every detail.
31:48That coat is just singing, you know?
31:50And that it's see-through.
31:51And when she walked, it was so beautiful.
31:53Thank you so much.
31:54And all this fringe she put on there.
31:55The coat is really, really spectacular.
31:57I love going to vintage stores, and this looks like it could have easily been from the 70s that someone wore that to Woodstock and just kept it in the most pristine condition.
32:06What is the top?
32:07Is it a print?
32:08Is it molded?
32:09So, creating this kind of, like, beautiful texture was a mistake.
32:13I like the mistake of it.
32:15Same.
32:16Same.
32:17That kind of spontaneity in design process is when the most interesting discoveries get found.
32:23Like, the mess that works.
32:24I thought that that was not a mistake.
32:26It's just so beautiful.
32:27Like, out the gate when I saw it, I loved it instantly.
32:31It's just amazing.
32:32Like, it was definitely one of my favorites.
32:34I mean, all of y'all are my favorites.
32:35That's why you are here.
32:37I have to say, this was a tough one.
32:41Yes, it was.
32:42Very tough.
32:43Picking the winner here because, really, you guys all did a fantastic job.
32:47The winning look not only felt true to country roots, it pushed the envelope of what Western chic looks like.
32:55Congratulations.
32:56This could be my win.
32:57My first win, finally.
33:00Jesus, you are the winner.
33:05Ah!
33:06Share this with you.
33:07Oh, you guys are so cute.
33:08This works for us.
33:09Thank you so much.
33:10Jesus wins.
33:11At this point, I am frustrated because I am the cowboy, and Jesus is not the cowboy.
33:27And I wanted my first win, finally.
33:29Oh, Jesus!
33:30Congratulations.
33:31You can leave the runway.
33:32Thank you so much.
33:37This was a tough win, you know?
33:38I really wanted Antonio to take the win.
33:39I won.
33:40Woo!
33:41Yeah.
33:42And then I really thought he was going to win.
33:44I mean, your win is his win, too.
33:46I know.
33:47Here we go again.
33:48Jesus won another challenge.
33:50And I'm pretty sure that it's going to make him really, really cocky.
33:55Wow, Luke!
33:56I'm so relieved I made it to the top five.
33:58And I'm just climbing to the top.
34:01But VJ, girl, I think your time might be over soon.
34:06Ethan, VJ, and Eugene, you created our least favorite designs.
34:16All right, let's bring out your models.
34:23Ethan, let's start with you.
34:24Tell us about your look.
34:25I created my own evening wear avant-garde snake in the grass.
34:30When it first came out, it kind of felt like I had seen this.
34:33However seen in front of me right now, it's impeccably made.
34:37I thought the dress really is stunning.
34:40I think it was the ties that threw me off personally.
34:43I don't know if that's dark brown or black,
34:45but had it been something more in the tone of the skins,
34:49that would have elevated it a little bit more.
34:51Agreed, that's what I...
34:52And made it look even more expensive.
34:54And there's something to me that's going on with the boobs
34:57that's not quite flattering.
34:58It's too narrow.
34:59That's what pushed you out of the top three.
35:02The styling is really good.
35:03I love the cowboy hat.
35:04I love the drama with the tail.
35:06And it does feel country, right?
35:07Yes, it absolutely does.
35:08You missed the top three by just a few points.
35:10It's a showstopper.
35:11Mm-hmm.
35:12I'm not mad at it.
35:13Vijay C.
35:15The judges know that my work is not like your work.
35:19Okay, Hu-Chin, can you tell us about your look?
35:21I want to bring this excitement on the runway.
35:23In a little drama, and when she's walking on the runway, there's like...
35:26Like a nipple tussle.
35:27Right.
35:28So it's all about the excitement.
35:30What I'm looking for in this country-western fashion is the authenticity.
35:34And I just don't think that that was executed in this.
35:38I don't understand how you are a streetwear designer and you gave us an evening dress.
35:46And a really bad evening dress.
35:48I don't think it fit her that well.
35:50If you're gonna play with the satire, and if it's gonna be something that's about like horny disco, nasty couture.
35:57Then it has to be like weirder and stranger and more perverse.
36:01Thank you, Zach.
36:02I feel like you just went for something so nutty that I'm like, did you think this was a winning look?
36:09The taste level here is beyond.
36:12Beyond.
36:13Beyond good or beyond bad?
36:15Beyond bad.
36:16Yeah, okay.
36:17We hate the dress.
36:18We hate the dress.
36:19We hate the dress.
36:20We hate the dress.
36:21Okay, Vijay, let's hear about your look.
36:24For this particular challenge, it was really intentional to kind of like go on a different direction.
36:30What is it gonna be in the future to see what western fashion is?
36:35So let's start with the good.
36:36The good thing about you is that you know a woman's body.
36:39Mm-hmm.
36:40The way you cut that curve to make her waist look small in the exact place it should and using that nude material was brilliant.
36:49Everything else is such a mismatch and so confusing.
36:54Yeah, this was a miss for me.
36:56This looked like a project runway nightmare.
36:58It didn't make sense to me.
37:00Western chic, I'm just not getting that here.
37:03Vinyl doesn't say modernity to me or futurism.
37:05Mm-hmm.
37:06It's kind of post-modern.
37:07You know, it's like it's been there.
37:08We've been there since the 60s.
37:10We asked for country chic, you gave us country shit, and I'm not gonna hold that back.
37:15I think you were trying to like try something different and the things that like trust your gut, it's always 100% correct.
37:23Thank you for all the feedback.
37:24Of course.
37:26Both twins are in the top and I'm in the bottom.
37:30This is embarrassing.
37:32And now I might go home.
37:34This cannot be my ending.
37:36We have a lot to discuss.
37:37And sadly, one of you will be out.
37:40You can all leave the runway.
37:41Thank you so much.
37:45Well, it's really now between Vijay and Yuchen because Ethan is safe.
37:51He was our number four today, right?
37:54He made tiny mistakes.
37:55Yeah.
37:56That kept him out of the top three.
37:58Yuchen going for two horns on the breasts and like bedazzling her from head to toe.
38:04Not even enough.
38:05Plastic fringe from head to toe.
38:06There wasn't enough bedazzle for me to make it that weird.
38:09It's like not the moment.
38:10No.
38:11Last challenge, I was on the bottom.
38:13It took some confidence away from me.
38:15I've been questioning myself.
38:16If I got the chance to stay in the competition, I have to be able to shake that off.
38:21Hopefully, they give me that chance.
38:23There was absolutely nothing redeeming about it.
38:26Nothing.
38:27The accessories, the necklace.
38:29Terrible.
38:30And then he just bedazzled it everywhere.
38:31Put the necklace on the hat.
38:32I have that hat from Etsy, by the way.
38:34I know you do.
38:35I do.
38:36I saw you.
38:37Everybody who went to Beyonce's tour had the hat on.
38:38I mean, they did.
38:39He lost his confidence, though.
38:41We've all lost our confidence before, right?
38:44But this has like lost the plot.
38:46BJ, I mean, she brought something that didn't feel chic at all.
38:50And the key to good Western, it has to be authentic.
38:53Anytime that it's anything else, it seems like it's making fun of what Western culture is.
38:59It looked like a really bad costume party.
39:01It really did.
39:02Yeah.
39:03I hate it.
39:04You would never wear that.
39:05No.
39:06Right.
39:07This is recycled fashion, and it should be recycled.
39:09All right.
39:10Let's bring them back out.
39:11See you later.
39:12Bye.
39:13Ah.
39:18Eugene, BJ, and Ethan, we've made our decision.
39:25I don't think of nervous for myself.
39:27However, it's a tight game between BJ and Yuchen.
39:31And Yuchen, he's been a really good friend in this competition.
39:35So, I want BJ to go home.
39:40Ethan, you're safe.
39:41You can leave the runway.
39:42Thank you all so much.
39:49Yuchen, BJ, one of you will be in, and one of you will be out.
39:53I know my confidence has been shaken, but I just hope the judges decide to keep me in the competition.
40:01I'm scared.
