00:00The winner of Project Runway will receive a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine,
00:07a Paris vacation courtesy of Avian, and $100,000 from L'Oreal Paris to start their own life.
00:24It's so weird with Crystal not here. It's like quieter.
00:28Really quiet.
00:28As people go home, we're kind of narrowing down the designers to the people who really have it together,
00:36but someone has to go home, so that's a little bit scary.
00:40I wonder what the next challenge will be.
00:42Whatever it is, I'm sure there is a twist to it, as usual.
00:47I'm just never going to be in that bottom three again.
00:52Being in the bottom three is probably the most empty feeling I've ever felt.
00:57It's like being punched in the stomach and having a lot of air taken out of you.
01:00My mindset is pretty focused on what I need to do now.
01:03I really want to get to Bright Park, so I'm really trying to get my job done.
01:07I don't want the judges to think she made one good garment.
01:10Is it luck or is it that she's actually talented?
01:12So I really want to show that I can continue to produce great work.
01:16All right, girls, you ready?
01:18Althea ends up winning, and I was in utter shock.
01:22I'll be the first one to congratulate anyone that wins if I feel like it was well-earned, and that wasn't.
01:28I'm nervous.
01:29I'm not.
01:31The people that do not deserve to be here is obviously Johnny, and Irina is slowly creeping up that list.
01:39Everybody doesn't deserve to be here because I'm supposed to win, but...
01:43New challenge.
01:44New challenge.
01:45New challenge.
01:45New challenge.
01:46New challenge.
01:46New challenge.
01:46New challenge.
01:59New challenge.
02:03Hello.
02:04How are you?
02:05How's everyone?
02:06Good.
02:07Althea, you won the last challenge, so you have immunity, and you cannot be eliminated this week.
02:13Tim is waiting for you, and he's going to take you on another little field trip.
02:17This challenge will definitely be tough, but the answers will all be in black and white.
02:24Woo!
02:26Woo!
02:27Woo!
02:27Woo!
02:27Woo!
02:27Woo!
02:27Woo!

02:28Woo!
02:28Woo!
02:29Woo!
02:29Woo!
02:29I wish you all good luck, and I'll see you on the runway.
02:32Bye!
02:32Bye!
02:33Bye!
02:33Bye!
02:39Heidi tells us that our challenge is based on something black and white, and because we're
02:44in L.A., my thoughts instantly go to, like, old Hollywood black and white movies.
02:51Any ideas?
02:53Hi, everybody!
02:53Hi!
02:54Hi!
02:55You ready for your field trip?
02:56Yes!
02:57Follow me!
02:57Bye!
02:59There are a lot of really big buildings.
03:01There are a lot of really big buildings.
03:02I'm starting to think, okay, we're going to some sort of factory.
03:06Designers, welcome to the Los Angeles Times, the destination for your challenge.
03:11Yay!
03:11Woo!
03:12Follow me.
03:13Follow me.
03:13Follow me.
03:17We arrive at a huge building that is where they make all the newspapers.
03:28I'm like, okay, this is newspapers.
03:31What does this have to do with fashion?
03:33I'm going this way.
03:38Designers, I am honored to introduce Booth Moore,
03:41the celebrated fashion critic of the Los Angeles Times.
03:44As all of you know, many elements of fashion are derived from today's headlines,
03:48from politics to pop culture to finance.
03:52Fashion is news, and there's no one better to expand on this topic than Booth.
03:56Thanks, Tim.
03:57So, for your next challenge, you're going to bring all this down to a practical level,
04:02and you're going to use pages from the newspaper to create your next look.
04:09Behind us are five pallets, each containing a different section of the Los Angeles Times.
04:14We have news, business, sports, calendar, and image.
04:18This is the fabric for your challenge, okay?
04:22Our material is newspaper.
04:25Um, yeah.
04:27I'm speechless.
04:29There are plastic bags for each of you,
04:31and you have three minutes to gather as much paper as you can.
04:36All right?
04:37And your three minutes begins now.
04:44As soon as that time starts, I sprint for it.
04:47I already have a point of view, and it's based off of, like, a strip of color that I see from a stack of papers.
04:57Designers, 30 seconds.
04:58We have three minutes to collect all the paper, and everyone else is going insane, grabbing stacks and stacks of paper.
05:07I'm like, what are you guys doing?
05:08I mean, you're dressing a human, not an elephant.
05:10All right, everyone, time is up.
05:14That's it.
05:18Designers, come with me.
05:20Oh, wow.
05:31Can't get in.
05:33This challenge is to create a garment entirely out of paper, and it can be anything from a bikini to a wedding dress.
05:42All right, in preparation for our newspaper challenge, we have dyes, we have brushes, we have markers,
05:51and you can use muslin as an infrastructure, however, it may not show.
05:56Great.
05:57Paper clothing has quite a distinguished history.
05:59The first paper dress was created in 1968, 40 years ago, and it made headline news,
06:06and there was quite a fervor for paper clothing.
06:09Paper clothing, not just dresses, pants, whatever you want.
06:13There were even paper slippers.
06:15So continue this tradition, but rebrand it for 2009, and have a great time.
06:22You have until midnight tonight for this challenge,
06:24and the winner of this challenge will have immunity.
06:28All right.
06:29I will be back to check in on you later, okay?
06:32Thanks, everybody.
06:34Make it work.
06:39I'm trying to be really ambitious with this newspaper dress.
06:42I want to do a really fitted, rigid bodice, and then this dress that goes out into hundreds of feathers created out of newspaper.
06:51So that's a lot of work to do, and I'm getting a little nervous.
06:54Tell me something I can do in fabric, and I can tell you what fabrics are good for what.
07:02I have no idea what paper shapes make the best things.
07:05I mean, it's just, like, seriously, starting from, like, the bottom and trying to work in your, like, fashion sense into it.
07:12I just really want to experiment because I don't know what to do.
07:15I figured out the silhouette I wanted and what I kind of wanted to do,
07:21but I knew that I would have to first dye all the paper so it could dry in time.
07:27This does not look pretty to me.
07:29Depends on where you go with it, though.
07:31Wah, wah.
07:32Wah, wah.
07:34I have never worked with newspaper before.
07:38I don't know how to work with newspaper.
07:40I have never sewn newspaper.
07:42So, basically, right now, I'm thinking that I'm going home tomorrow,
07:47and it's not a very good feeling.
07:50I seriously have no clue what I'm doing.
07:57My whole thing is I'm going to mix materials and colors
08:01and sort of really make it look like fabric,
08:03and it doesn't have to still look like newspaper.
08:06So I think I'm just going to do a dress and sort of create a print with newspaper.
08:12I think I'm going to paper mache a bodice
08:20and then make some crazy origami-esque skirt.
08:25I'm going to, like, shellac-er into this dress.
08:28I'm going to have glue all over me when this is over.
08:31Ah!
08:33It's okay.
08:34We're good.
08:34We're good.
08:35My hands are so sticky.
08:38I don't think I've ever really met a small woman like that
08:44that makes so much noise.
08:46I feel like I'm groping this mannequin.
08:48I'm like, ah!
08:51Oh, you know what will be fun later, though?
08:53It's peeling the glue off of your hands.
08:55I know we're kind of the same age,
08:57but it just makes me feel like I'm 40 around her.
09:00Like, she turns into this, like, 11-year-old kid
09:02who just, like, does not shut up.
09:04Does anybody name their mannequin?
09:09Nobody?
09:10Be quiet, you know?
09:11Just, like, sit there and do your work.
09:13I might divulge that information later.
09:15I really can't deal with it right now
09:17because I really have to get my s*** together.
09:25I'm doing this really great dress
09:27that looks like origami,
09:29and it has origami cranes coming off the shoulder
09:31that are actually holding the dress up.
09:33Are you serious?
09:34My dress is looking like this very pretty,
09:35draped and wrapped and folded
09:37piece of large-scale origami,
09:40and I'm really stoked by my dress.
09:42So I get some weird idea to start painting it
09:44with a fabric dye.
09:47I'm sitting next to Johnny,
09:49and for the whole time that he was draping his garment,
09:51I keep looking over at it,
09:52and I'm in a little bit of shock.
09:54It is just awful.
09:55And this is just some wrinkled-up paper
09:58with pig's blood all over it.
10:00This ought to be interesting.
10:01Coming up on Project Runway.
10:07I'm just looking at the design.
10:09It's very ho-hum.
10:10You are going to have a time challenge.
10:12I do.
10:12So do it.
10:14It looks like a bunch of kindergartners did it.
10:16Ouch.
10:17I got, like, all this paper,
10:26and I'm totally blanking all of a sudden.
10:29The fact that I can use, like,
10:30an unconventional material to convey, like,
10:32a point of view is really, really exciting to me.
10:35So I'm being inspired by
10:37unexpected pattern within the paper,
10:39but then also the idea of cubism and origami.
10:42My plan is to make a headline dress.
10:49It's a dress completely decoupaged from headlines
10:52that I'm clipping out of the newspaper.
10:54Hi, everybody.
10:56Hello.
10:57I'm here to check in and see how you're doing,
10:59and I'm going to start with Jordana.
11:01All right.
11:03I'm creating, actually, two garments.
11:06One of them is going to be talking about
11:08what is happening in the world today,
11:10and I'm going to put, like, time to change on it.
11:16I have great respect for your idea, Jordana.
11:19It's more about a political statement,
11:21and just looking at the design, it's very ho-hum.
11:24Oh.
11:25And looking at the design of this,
11:27this is the antithesis of ho-hum.
11:29This is the change.
11:31It's all through your fashion,
11:32through your point of view as a designer.
11:34Yeah.
11:34Put your time and energy into this.
11:36Okay.
11:37I will.
11:38And is there an infrastructure of muslin or anything?
11:40No.
11:40Is it just newspaper?
11:41I love you.
11:43Stunning.
11:44Thank you very much.
11:44Okay?
11:44Just keep going.
11:47All right.
11:47What a great way to start.
11:49Hi, Althea.
11:50Hey.
11:51How are you?
11:52Talk to me.
11:52What are you doing?
11:53So I was thinking, make some shoulder pads
11:55and then use this as sort of, like, drape
11:58and almost create fabric out of it.
12:00I mean, the nice thing is you have immunity.
12:02You can do whatever you want.
12:03Yeah.
12:05But it disappoints me in a way.
12:07I would encourage you to look at the paper upside down.
12:10That way you'll just look at it as abstract shapes and forms.
12:13That's a really good advice.
12:14Okay.
12:15Go, go, go.
12:16Irina, talk to me.
12:26I started with this little dress,
12:30but I just don't like the way it dries
12:33and how stiff it is.
12:35So then I was actually thinking of doing sort of, like, a trench coat.
12:39Okay.
12:39But I just don't think without the muslin base, it would really work.
12:451968, the paper raincoat wasn't on muslin.
12:49All right.
12:49Okay.
12:50Okay.
12:50Thank you, Tim.
12:51All right, Johnny.
12:53What's going on?
12:55It's basically a large-scale Oregon piece.
12:58Birds on the shoulder coming around from the outside.
13:01I'm woeful, Johnny,
13:03because right now it looks like a craft project gone awry.
13:07That's not good.
13:08No.
13:09It looks like a bunch of kindergartners did it.
13:11I guess I should start something different,
13:13because what's going to happen is the birds are actually going to look like
13:15they're holding the dress up.
13:17And they look like the birds attacked the dress.
13:22Ouch, is my reaction.
13:24I've got to do something else.
13:25I've got to do it in four and a half hours,
13:27so I'm starting over.
13:35Hi, Tim.
13:36Nicholas, how are you?
13:38At this point, I'm just sort of, like,
13:40going with it and seeing where it takes me.
13:43You have a good trajectory going.
13:45Just sustain your momentum here.
13:48But you think I'm going in a good direction, though?
13:50You just need to ensure that this doesn't end up looking too costuming.
13:54Right, exactly.
13:55At the same time, you want it to be...
13:58Interesting.
13:59All right, Tim, thank you.
14:01Thank you, Nicholas.
14:01I'm going to keep working.
14:02Okay.
14:05Christopher.
14:05Tim.
14:06How are you doing?
14:07I wanted, like, a showstopper.
14:09So I wanted to do this full-length feather.
14:12Good God.
14:13Is this your plan?
14:14Yeah.
14:15I think you can have a showstopper.
14:18I want to do these paper feathers all the way down.
14:21I was inspired by the newspaper.
14:23I love just the black and white, the clean print.
14:26The last thing you need to do is talk to me.
14:27Okay.
14:28So do it.
14:29I can't wait to see this.
14:31All right, thanks, Tim.
14:31Okay, thank you.
14:32Yep.
14:32Designers, I am absolutely wowed.
14:36And I'm really inspired.
14:38I cannot wait for this runway show.
14:40And your muddles will be coming in in a little while.
14:44All right.
14:44Thank you, everybody.
14:45I will see you tomorrow.
14:47All right?
14:49After I throw the dress away, I have all these extra squares that I was going to fold into origami birds.
14:57So I started laying it out, tiling the squares on the muslin, hoping and praying that, God, please let this work.
15:04Let something good come out of this.
15:05Herman, does this look like fur to you?
15:09I want to do, like, a shawl collar trench coat.
15:13I had the idea of the trench coat in the beginning, but when Tim said, you know what, there was a version of a coat made out of paper, and it clicked.
15:22I said, you know what, if it was made, then it's possible, then I could do it.
15:27When I first moved to New York City at the age of 17, and back then I used to hang out with a lot of punk rock kids down in the East Village.
15:33So I thought, oh, you know, maybe I should do kind of like a 90s, the millennium version of punk rock, and so I sort of went from there.
15:44I looked for images, and then I really started, like, getting the sort of idea of my dress and piecing together the different images to create a dress, and how can I use this challenge to my advantage?
15:57At this point, I'm kind of bewildered.
15:59I'm not really loving it at all now, because I thought I had a good idea in the first place, and it turns out that it really wasn't that good of an idea.
16:06Oh, my God!
16:08That's so cool!
16:11Lose paper!
16:12I can work with that.
16:14How do you wear it?
16:15Um, well, we're going to figure that out now.
16:19It's going to be really cold.
16:21No!
16:21Oh, it's so cool.
16:24It's, like, so chic.
16:26You know, I'm slightly worried about the paper tearing.
16:28You know, when you're designing a non-fabric material, you have to consider her moving, because she's not, you know, she's not a mannequin.
16:35She's not going to stand still the whole time.
16:37The skirt is really, really heavy, and the dress being a strapless, that's going to be my only challenge, I think, is trying to keep that dress from falling off on the runway.
16:54Does that feel better?
16:55I think I'm going to wear those birds now.
17:06When Emery comes in for the model fitting, I'm feeling really, really just disappointed in myself, and I'm kind of nervous.
17:12Do you want to know what else happened?
17:13Is it when I was ironing?
17:14It was just an iron paper.
17:16The steamer decided it was going to start spilling, and water got all over it.
17:20He just starts spewing this whole sob story, how the whole thing was ruined by a steamer, like, this mysterious steamer accident.
17:28We didn't even want to have a steamer in the sewing room that day.
17:30We find out that Johnny had made up this lie.
17:33So, basically, Johnny tore up his first dress just because Tim Gunn came and said it was pretty bad.
17:41Figure it out, I guess.
17:42Okay, love you so much.
17:43Love you.
17:44Okay.
17:45I love you too.
17:46Towards the end of the night, I'm getting really tired, and I hate what I've done.
17:55So, I started doing a crossword puzzle.
17:58The majority of the designers are really sick of the whole Johnny attitude, the lack of passion that he puts into his designs, and the lack of time spent on it.
18:10I looked over, and I saw he was, like, doing a crossword puzzle.
18:12Some people just don't really have the follow-through as others.
18:23All right, kids.
18:25We gotta go.
18:32What a day.
18:34Who would have thought paper would be so difficult?
18:36I know.
18:38I love this challenge.
18:40I love the idea of it.
18:41It's something that I really wanted.
18:43Tim tore my ass apart.
18:44Did he?
18:45What did he say?
18:45The first dress he did.
18:46Oh, my God.
18:48Wait, so you have an all-new piece?
18:50All new.
18:51To be completely honest with you, because I was ironing it, and the iron decided to sputter, and the top started to rip.
19:00Johnny complaining and maybe making up a story with the steamer is kind of BS.
19:06As soon as I put it down, it went, whew, because I know that Tim came in at about 7 o'clock, and that's when he threw his dress out.
19:12I'm really curious to see what the judges are going to do.
19:17What did Tim say?
19:19Birds are attacking his dress.
19:21Because right now, it looks like a craft project going awry.
19:25Coming up on Project Runway.
19:37Some of you look like you're kind of stalling out.
19:40I'm just really struggling.
19:41Oh, my God.
19:42I'm so nervous.
19:44If I go home on an arts and crafts project, I'm not going to be happy.
19:47It's just a nightmare.
19:55Oh, man.
19:59All right, so who do we, like, like the most?
20:02I like Altias, the way it's turning out.
20:05Working with paper is a lot different than I expected, but even though I have immunity, I'm still working just as hard.
20:12Who do we think is going to be in the bottom?
20:14Do you like Nicholas's?
20:16I'm not wild about it.
20:18It's the morning of the runaway show.
20:21I'm just really struggling with the newspaper challenge.
20:25Everybody else seems to be having a blast.
20:27What do you think Johnny has under his shroud?
20:29I think he wants an unveiling.
20:31He almost wants an unveiling.
20:33He's still here for a reason.
20:35Yes.
20:36I'll make relief.
20:40I really don't care what other designers think about me.
20:43I don't give a damn.
20:44Get over it.
20:46It's time to go.
20:46Yep.
20:47All right, Heidi, tear us apart in the runaway.
20:50Yeah, literally.
20:52Tear us apart in the runaway.
20:53Exactly.
20:54All right.
21:04Nothing fell off yet.
21:07This is an edge.
21:10I took an approach that not a lot of people took, and I did separates.
21:14I did a top and I did a skirt.
21:15So I'm a little anxious.
21:17So I decided to go with my trench coat idea.
21:24It's definitely risky doing a coat because I don't know if the sleeves are going to happen
21:29or not.
21:29It's just a nightmare.
21:31It's just a nightmare.
21:31Good morning, everybody.
21:32Good morning, Steve.
21:33Good morning, Steve.
21:34I'm very excited about today's show.
21:35It's going to be interesting, to say the least.
21:38I'm about to send in your models.
21:40You have two hours to achieve the following.
21:43Send them to the Garnier Hair Studio, to the L'Oreal Paris Makeup Room, and fit them in your garments.
21:48Please use the Macy's accessory wall, and I will tell you, I took a look around the room
21:53this morning.
21:55Some of you look like you're kind of stalling out.
21:57Don't let that happen, okay?
21:59Rally.
22:00I'm going to send in your models.
22:01Well, I'm going to fit the bodice on you.
22:08I think it's pretty cool.
22:09I think it's really cool.
22:10I think Emery's trying to lift my spirits, but I don't have enough time to do what I would
22:14want to do to it.
22:15If they like it, they like it.
22:16If they don't, I'm sorry.
22:19I definitely feel like I'm ahead of the game.
22:21I have constructed the dress perfectly.
22:24You wouldn't even be able to tell that it's made out of paper.
22:27Yay, me.
22:29Can you even walk in that thing?
22:31Yeah.
22:32Really?
22:32Yeah.
22:33I'm so nervous.
22:35I finished my dress, and then I realized, not only do I have to get it on my model, first
22:43I have to get it off of my mannequin.
22:45Hooray!
22:51Yeah, it's one of the lines I'm coming.
22:53I'm like, it's like, it looks blah, and like, compared to all the work everyone else did,
22:58it looks very easy.
22:59Hey, Althea, I see her glancing at me with these sort of weird eyes, so I don't know
23:05what that's all about, but I don't even really want to know.
23:07Let's go get your herd in.
23:09We're going to get her herd in.
23:10Just put it up.
23:18Higher, yeah.
23:20So just like bulbs and reds in the bottom of the crease.
23:23I think that's really cute.
23:27Full-on hung drop.
23:34Designers and models, in exactly five minutes, we are going to the runway.
23:41Pack up a little emergency repair kit, including lots of tape.
23:44It's like giving birth.
23:52Oh my God, it's so cute.
23:53If I go home on an arts and crafts project, I'm not going to be happy.
23:58Johnny thinks very highly of himself, and the dress that he's about to send down the runway,
24:05I hope the judges tear him apart for it.
24:09Nicholas's design looks a little stupid.
24:11It's definitely not punk rock.
24:12It's, I don't know, stump rock.
24:14It's dinosaur chic.
24:17All right, designers and models, time is up.
24:21Follow me, please.
24:22We're going down to the runway.
24:24Oh my God.
24:25Yeah.
24:27Come, everybody.
24:28Awesome, we're done.
24:30Ladies.
24:34Coming up on Project Runway.
24:36Looks like an insect.
24:38That's probably my mistake.
24:40I have a feeling he wasn't telling the truth.
24:42Jerk.
24:44Hello.
24:49Hi.
24:51Welcome to the runway.
24:52As you know, in fashion, one day you're in, and the next day, you're out.
24:58There are 12 of you here, and after tonight, there will be 11.
25:02This week, you visited the LA Times, where you were asked to use newspapers to create your look.
25:10And these papers weren't just inspiration.
25:13They were your actual fabrics.
25:14And I really look forward to seeing your creativity hit the runway today.
25:20All right, let's meet the judges.
25:21First, we have American designer, Tommy Hilfiger, who has a new collection exclusive at Macy's.
25:30Senior editor for Marie Claire Magazine, Zoe Glasner.
25:34And star of the hit ABC show, Desperate Housewives, Eva Longoria Parker.
25:39We will score your designs as they come down the runway.
25:47One of you will be named the winner, and one of you will be out.
25:52Let's start the show.
25:53The more I looked at the dress, the more I realized how much Asian inspiration I got from it.
26:03The coloring that I used ended up looking like bamboo leaves.
26:07I feel confident.
26:07My model looks great.
26:11If I want to be experimental, if I want to be daring, I'm going to do it.
26:16Hopefully, this garment will get me in the top three.
26:19I'm never just designing to be safe.
26:25I always want to be in the top.
26:28I like to play with hard and soft, and I think this is speaking to my design aesthetic.
26:36It looks absolutely amazing.
26:39It's sexy and fun and flirty, and it feels like me.
26:50I've never made anything out of paper before.
26:53It was like arts and crafts, but at the same time, you had to get your point across.
27:02I watched my design coming down the runway.
27:05Honestly, I don't like it.
27:06I don't think it's to any sort of up-to-par to my abilities.
27:10I think the original dress would have got a better response.
27:16I am proud of what I have created in this challenge.
27:21I really think that I have made something out of nothing.
27:29Seeing my dress is really amazing.
27:32My goal in this was to create a gown that looks like it's not made out of paper.
27:43I see my model, Ebony, walk down the runway, and I'm just praying to God that the thing stays on her.
27:50I'm pretty happy with it, and the makeup looks awesome.
27:53They put these, like, feathers in her eyelashes.
27:55I am amazed and happy.
28:03It's exactly what I want it to be.
28:06It's different than anything else.
28:09I was breathless.
28:11I really feel that even though this dress was made in paper, it still really represents me as a designer.
28:20I like to design intellectually.
28:23I really try to make the body look good.
28:29It was a really difficult challenge.
28:31I'm a little worried about the dress because it wasn't as polished as I would have liked it.
28:36I'm expecting I'm either going to be in the bottom or safe.
28:46If I call your name, please step forward.
28:50Johnny.
28:53Nicholas.
28:56Christopher.
28:59Althea.
29:02Jordana.
29:04Irina.
29:04If I did not call your name, congratulations.
29:10Your scores have qualified you to move on to the next challenge.
29:13You can leave the runway.
29:21The remaining designers have the highest and the lowest scores.
29:25One of you will be named the winner, and one of you will be out.
29:30Let's bring out your models.
29:34I saw this image of a building, and I thought, well, how cool if I could sort of layer them in a way that they were almost like fans.
29:49and I tried to contour like her bum.
29:53I love it.
29:54This is a classic dress that I wear all the time
29:57and I always accentuate my bum
29:59because that's my asset.
30:02I think it's pretty genius.
30:05I thought the execution was well done
30:08considering what you had to work with
30:09because you have a lot of pieces.
30:11I probably used about 100 newspapers.
30:13I think it's exquisite,
30:15the sort of detail work that you've done, the pattern.
30:17If that wasn't paper, I would totally want to wear
30:19it.
30:20Jordana, tell us about your look.
30:22First of all, I knew that we were using
30:25already unconventional fabrics,
30:26so I wanted to create a conventional look.
30:29I think the top is very architectural, very cool.
30:32I think the pattern's nice.
30:34I have to say, when your garment came down the runway,
30:36I was a little bit bored
30:38because it is so wearable
30:41and it is so real-looking in a way.
30:43I was understanding that we should make wearable
30:46something out of unwearable fabrics.
30:48So that's probably my mistake.
30:51The only fault that you have in this competition
30:53was that everybody else's was so amazing.
30:57There's a lot of creativity up there.
30:59Irina.
31:01Initially, when I heard the newspaper challenge,
31:03for some reason, I thought trench coat.
31:05I was blown away.
31:06That was one of the moments when it came out
31:07and I was like, oh, you know,
31:10and I love that you went against doing a dress.
31:12I think it looks Coco Chanel meets Saint Laurent meets Givenchy
31:18in the 60s and 70s.
31:19I think that if you turn around,
31:22I don't like seeing the scotch tape
31:24and it could be a little shorter.
31:26I love the collar.
31:28I love the sleeves.
31:29And I like that you gave it this sort of volume,
31:31this dimension.
31:32It's something new.
31:34I love that you plate with the paper
31:36and crinkled it up and mushed it all together.
31:39I just literally tore tiny pieces of paper
31:42and I'd scrunch them up, open them back up,
31:44just really make it soft.
31:46New alternative to fur, newspaper.
31:48Yeah.
31:49Johnny, what's going on here?
31:52How much time did you spend on your dress?
31:55I did two of them.
31:56Why?
31:57What happened?
31:57The first one, I was ironing it
31:59and the steamer started to sputter.
32:01It got water all over it
32:03and the whole thing was destroyed.
32:05But I'm not making excuses.
32:06I'm really not.
32:07It doesn't look like a lot of time
32:08was spent on this dress.
32:09I also am not loving the way it is put together.
32:12It looks like she's going to work
32:14with the red shoes and the hair and makeup.
32:18Like work?
32:19Like work.
32:20Like work.
32:21Like a pro?
32:22Like work work.
32:23Oh, that's fun.
32:24I like the idea you had.
32:26I feel like it wasn't executed as well.
32:28The belt up there, it should be at the waist
32:31or it should be an empire.
32:33I'm not a fan of the pointy thing.
32:34This up here, yeah.
32:36But I like classic dresses.
32:38I kind of was digging the whole pop art print.
32:41The hair was a little 80s.
32:42The shoe was a little 80s.
32:43I felt like you were trying to take us somewhere
32:44and I was going there with you.
32:49If I could talk, like say,
32:50but the other dress was pretty,
32:52was hardcore, I have to admit.
32:53It was very like that Dior
32:55kind of draping around and wrapping back up look.
32:58How come are you shaking it?
32:59Is there more to the story that you want to tell us?
33:02It was an odd Dior.
33:04What?
33:05It was a red mess.
33:06It was a red mess.
33:07Thanks, that's sweet.
33:08One of Tim's comments
33:10was that the birds attacked the dress.
33:12Thanks, Nicholas.
33:13That's really nice.
33:14Throw me right into the bus.
33:16Jerk.
33:18Nicholas.
33:19So when I started cutting out the newspaper,
33:21it just sort of reminded me
33:23when I first moved to New York
33:24and I used to hang out
33:25in the East Village a lot
33:26with all the punk kids,
33:27so I kind of wanted to go back to that time
33:29and sort of create a little punk rock look.
33:32I think that doesn't look like the punk thing.
33:36I wrote,
33:37looks like an insect.
33:39You know, she's got the sort of,
33:40like little, the shell casings,
33:42which is also very New York, right?
33:43The cockroaches.
33:44Cockroaches.
33:47Last but not least, Christopher.
33:49My first thought that came to my head was,
33:52it has to be a showstopper.
33:53And so what I did is I created this kind of,
33:56this, the feather look that goes down here.
33:58And I also wanted to retain the newsprint.
34:00I love the black and white.
34:02I love the big full skirt.
34:04How did you do the top?
34:05It looks kind of hard.
34:06Yes, it's like a shell.
34:08And...
34:08What did you do?
34:09It's, um, like a pattern board,
34:12or like pattern paper, really rigid.
34:13I love that it's like armor.
34:16I love that you gave her the little detail in the hair.
34:18I love her hair soft like Guinevere.
34:20It really looks like art.
34:21I mean, it's really beautiful.
34:23I, too, love the top.
34:24I think it was very, very creative.
34:26Nothing on the runway was like it.
34:28It just swayed down the runway,
34:30and it did not look like newspaper.
34:32If you squint your eyes, it looks like feathers.
34:35It's, uh, sexy.
34:37I think it's glamorous.
34:38It's a wow.
34:39Thank you so much.
34:41Okay, we've heard what you had to say.
34:43We're going to have a little chat,
34:44and then I'm going to call you back.
34:46You can leave the runway.
34:55So let's talk about the designers that we liked.
34:58Christopher.
35:00I just thought it was so creative.
35:01He, and, and that bodice.
35:03I'd like to think of how to construct that.
35:05I don't even know how to begin to do that with paper.
35:08It was a risk.
35:09Whereas some of the others were just, like,
35:10strapless little shifts, you know?
35:14Let's go to Althea.
35:15That was also a beautiful dress.
35:17It had some structure.
35:18I loved the architecture of it.
35:20I mean, it really accentuated the bottom.
35:22It accentuated the bosom.
35:23I, I thought it was just well-crafted.
35:26She made a print within a print
35:27and had a whole storyline behind it.
35:29It was very cool.
35:33And then Irina.
35:35Oh, yeah.
35:37It was so well done.
35:38It was like, like couture.
35:40She had these little trompe-l'oeil stitches
35:41that she made with Sharpie
35:42and she had belt loops,
35:43which I thought was very, very clever.
35:45It was dramatic without being gimmicky.
35:49Let's talk about those designers
35:51with the lower scores.
35:52I have mixed feelings with Jordana.
35:55It wasn't made badly.
35:57I just thought as a whole,
35:58it was a bit boring.
35:59Not as exciting as the other two.
36:01You know, it was safe.
36:05All right, let's go to Nicholas.
36:08I didn't like this one at all.
36:10I didn't get the punk thing.
36:12I didn't get the inspiration.
36:13And then it wasn't well done.
36:15It was just tacky.
36:16Punk should have been something so different.
36:21All right, let's move on to Johnny.
36:23It felt like a save.
36:25It ended up, it actually was a save.
36:26The print was cool.
36:28But then looking at the dress
36:29and looking at the construction,
36:30it was a big letdown.
36:32I have a feeling he wasn't
36:33completely telling the truth.
36:35How bad can it spit the steam, too?
36:37Tommy doesn't iron, honey.
36:39He doesn't know.
36:40Look, actually, he'll get it together.
36:46So we've made our decision.
36:50Okay, let's bring them back out.
36:52One of you will be named the winner
37:00and one of you will be out.
37:10One of you will be named the winner
37:11and one of you will be out.
37:17Althea, you're in.
37:19You can leave the runway.
37:30Irina, you are the winner of this challenge.
37:36That's an honor.
37:38Congratulations.
37:39Your originality and your risk-taking
37:41really paid off this time.
37:44You also will have immunity
37:45for the next challenge
37:46and cannot be eliminated.
37:48You can leave the runway.
37:55It feels good.
37:56I finally won.
37:57I mean, it's past due, I feel like.
38:02Christopher, you're in.
38:04You can leave the runway.
38:05Thank you very much.
38:16Jordana, you're in.
38:19You can leave the runway.
38:20Thank you very much.
38:21Nicholas, Johnny, one of you will be out.
38:40Nicholas, we saw where you were trying to go,
38:44but you really didn't get there.
38:46It was all too arts and crafty.
38:50Johnny, you gave us a lot of excuses today,
38:54but as always, we can only judge on what we see.
38:58Your dress was not well made,
39:00and it was just a mess overall.
39:07Nicholas, you're in.
39:12You can leave the runway.
39:16That means, Johnny, you're out.
39:23Thank you very much.
39:24I had a wonderful opportunity.
39:27Auf Wiedersehen.
39:28Bye.
39:28Bye.
39:29Bye, guys.
39:30Bye, Johnny.
39:30Good luck.
39:31Thank you very much.
39:36Right now, I feel a little lost.
39:38I feel a little empty.
39:40Again, I guess is the best word to say it.
39:43Giving up addiction was probably easier to do than this.
39:46I don't think people realize how hard and emotionally taxing this competition is.
39:51I just really wanted to go to Bryant Park.
39:54But I guess it means there's something bigger on the horizon for me, so I can deal with that.
40:00How is everybody?
40:01I have to send you to the workroom to clean up your space.
40:05I know.
40:05You take care.
40:06See you guys later.
40:06Bye, Johnny.
40:07Bye, guys.
40:08You guys rock.
40:09Be careful.
40:09Rock, rock.
40:10Take care.
40:11I'm incredulous at that utterly preposterous feeling of fiction that Johnny did on the runway.
40:19I seriously, I snapped.
40:20I'm sorry.
40:21I couldn't take it anymore.
40:22It was ridiculous.
40:23Like, what was that?
40:24Yeah.
40:25I'm at peace right now with the whole situation.
40:27You can't dwell on the past.
40:29You definitely can't sit there and wallow in it.
40:31I'm not going to stop being a designer just because of this.
40:33In fact, I'm probably going to grow from this as a designer.
40:35It's not the end of Johnny Sackless.
40:37There's still more to come.
