00:00Canada.
00:07Oh, I'm so excited.
00:09Designing Technology Lab.
00:11Oh, that's amazing.
00:14Oh my God, that thing's moving.
00:16Hi, designers.
00:18Hi.
00:19In fashion, trends come and go.
00:22But the future is here.
00:24Literally.
00:26For this challenge, we want you to transport us to the year 2125.
00:33Welcome to your avant-garde challenge.
00:38I haven't had experience creating avant-garde.
00:40My aesthetic is a little bit more elegant and timeless.
00:44My interpretation of avant-garde is weird shape, over-the-top design.
00:50But some other people could be like, oh, what the hell is that?
00:53But I'm hoping I don't get the, what the hell is that?
00:56Because I've been getting, what the hell is that?
00:58Take a look at these cutting edge materials that were created right here
01:02at TMU's Design and Technology Lab.
01:05Transparaprint, Camo Foil, UV Foam, and Gritted Cotton.
01:10This week, you'll be working with them.
01:12The fabrics still look amazing, but I've never actually worked with them.
01:19So I'm a bit skeptical.
01:21But you won't be century hopping solo.
01:25This week, you're working in...
01:28Teams.
01:30Oh!
01:31I don't like teams.
01:35I have never been a team player.
01:40For this challenge, each team must incorporate two of these printed materials into their designs.
01:46Leland and Delane, as our two challenge winners, you get to pick your teams.
01:52Oh my God!
01:53That's sweet!
01:54That's sweet!
01:55Choose wisely, because this week, two designers from the losing team will be out.
02:00I think this is a very high-pressure week.
02:05It's gonna suck to see two people go, so I'm hopeful that's not me.
02:09Delane, you get first pick.
02:15Rome.
02:16Good choice.
02:17Leland, your turn.
02:19I gotta pick Charles, Chuck, my guy.
02:22Curtis.
02:24I want people that have a strong individual voice.
02:27My girl, Kat.
02:28And open to collaboration.
02:30Dalarimic.
02:33I think I'm gonna go Maya.
02:34Maya is so talented.
02:36And Foster.
02:37Foster's technical skill is so precise.
02:41Leland, you get the last pick.
02:43Do you choose Littlefeather or Nemo?
02:46I'm the bottom of the barrel.
02:48Big bummer.
02:50Nobody's gonna pick me.
02:52I am really nervous.
02:53I just wanna run away.
02:57I'm gonna go Littlefeather.
02:58I feel like a loser.
03:03Being in the bottom, two challenges in a row.
03:06I feel like I have to prove myself.
03:09Nemo, you get to pick which team you wanna join.
03:15I pick team forward.
03:16Yay!
03:18I'm more comfortable with Delane's team.
03:20They're easy to work with.
03:22I'm hoping I don't bring them down.
03:24I'm happy with my team.
03:26Six might be too many cooks in the kitchen.
03:29Leland, you get first pick of material.
03:31I'm gonna have to go UV foam.
03:33We can do a lot with it.
03:34Create some really cool shapes.
03:36We're gonna go with the camo foil.
03:37Nice.
03:39I love a thermoplastic, so I'm in.
03:41That means team forward, you get gritted cotton.
03:45Each one of you must incorporate both of your team's materials.
03:49And as a team, the collection must be cohesive.
03:52Got it.
03:54This is a two-day challenge.
03:55I'm so excited to see what the future holds.
03:59Get sketchy.
04:01Alrighty, let's do it, ladies.
04:04First pick of models.
04:05Okay, no drama.
04:06Just flip them over.
04:08I feel really confident with my team.
04:10Avant-garde is one of my favorite things to do,
04:12but it's a little scary relying on other people.
04:14Two people are going home this week.
04:16Okay, are we happy with this?
04:18Yes.
04:19This is already futuristic.
04:21The transparent print is even stiffer than I thought it would be.
04:24I'm not a fan, but the UV foam brings an extra fun layer playing with light.
04:30That's a royal blue, right?
04:31Yeah.
04:32Like a royal electric blue.
04:33But how do you tie this into that?
04:36I feel like almost water and earth.
04:39100%.
04:40Blue to represent water.
04:41Brownish transparent print as earth.
04:44Mm-hmm.
04:45So the story that we've come up with is that in a hundred years,
04:48our resources are finite.
04:50It's the search for water and earth.
04:52It's like a love letter to, like, the element.
04:54Yeah.
04:56First thing I will say, I think we should stick with that color palette.
04:59Yes.
05:00I know that the grid cotton will be really easy to work with,
05:02but the foil camouflage might be a bit tricky.
05:05It gets very crinkly no matter what you do with it.
05:07Realistically, in a hundred years, we could be in a very dystopian, military-like world.
05:13Yeah.
05:14Our inspiration is futuristic dystopianism.
05:17Very bold shoulders, very clean lines and structure.
05:20I'm seeing this as, like, a protective fabric, like an armor.
05:24Yes.
05:25I want to make thigh-high boots, high-waisted shorts,
05:28and a jacket with a dramatic collar.
05:30I'm envisioning that she's a warrior.
05:32Perfect.
05:33Yeah.
05:36We're not sure what the weather is like in the future.
05:39So I'm thinking about neoprene bodysuits,
05:42and then I wanted to use the UV foam as the parts that would come down.
05:46They would be doing the casket.
05:48Yeah.
05:49I'm so happy with my team.
05:51We have Charles, Leland, Foster, and Maya.
05:54These guys are deadly.
05:57So, Little Feather,
05:58the specific reason that I want to do a part of our team
06:00is I think that you'll really kind of come alive.
06:02When we have a material that isn't a sewing thing,
06:05you can create some great shapes.
06:06You can do some gluing.
06:09No.
06:10Don't just do arts and crafts.
06:12I don't want nothing falling off on the runway.
06:16Okay, guys.
06:17Time's up.
06:18Let's go shopping.
06:22Hey, time travelers.
06:24Hey.
06:25The brief said avant-garde,
06:27and you guys have to use both of your materials in each design,
06:32and keep cohesion, top of mind.
06:35Got it?
06:36Yep.
06:37Each of you have $600 to spend and 30 minutes to shop.
06:40Get going.
06:43Look at this.
06:44I know what I'm looking for.
06:48So, our colors were going for bronze, black, nudes.
06:50Our team's color palette is very earthy.
06:52Browns with transparent textures.
06:55What do you think about this?
06:56For the coat?
06:57Yes.
06:58I'm creating a voluminous coat that has transparent material
07:01to draw attention to the UV foam.
07:03I really love that.
07:05That pink is too pink.
07:07The pink is way too pink.
07:08Yeah.
07:09Our group is going with colors from the camo foiling,
07:12because everyone is going for colors.
07:14I'll just go for black and incorporate this.
07:16I'm very comfortable in designing an avant-garde,
07:19so I'm making a structured military-type blazer with pants.
07:24This is my challenge.
07:25I've got this.
07:26How's it going?
07:27Good.
07:28I'm picking up the pinks in our collection.
07:29This fabric is very elegant.
07:31What's going to make it feel futuristic?
07:33The structure.
07:34I'm going for a-line skirt with a pointy asymmetrical top.
07:40It's spaceship couture.
07:42All right, make sure it's futuristic.
07:44Yeah.
07:45I need super stretch and silver.
07:47I don't like this challenge.
07:49I don't do avant-garde cuts, you know, and silhouettes.
07:54But I am making a square shoulder chainmail body armor
07:59with silver fabric, so it's protecting my model,
08:03because it's the end of the world, apparently.
08:06This is amazing.
08:08Designers, you have less than 10 minutes.
08:11It's not bad if you lean into the green in the right way.
08:13You think the yellow goes with all this?
08:15Yeah.
08:16Time's up!
08:18I will see you all back at the workroom.
08:24Team challenge.
08:25Let's do this.
08:26Team forward.
08:28Let's do it.
08:29Here's our materials.
08:31Oh, I can't wait to play with those.
08:34Whoa.
08:35This is incredible.
08:39These materials are ugly.
08:42I don't like them.
08:44It's not going to be easy to keep it smooth.
08:46Yeah, I'm going to try to keep it as straight as possible.
08:49I'm so excited.
08:51Me too.
08:52I've worked with unconventional materials like this, gosh, I think like when I was in grade 7 at my father's appliance store.
08:59For some reason, fabric and material always spoke to me.
09:03And now I've become known for my oversized boxy jackets.
09:08So this jacket has to be perfect because I would love to finally get that win this week.
09:15I love this coat.
09:16Okay, you guys, what do you think of this structure?
09:19Wow.
09:20Oh, yes.
09:21Yes.
09:22This could be a very costumey, cosplay-ish challenge.
09:27And that's my wheelhouse.
09:29So I'm making a pointed shoulder bustier with a matching sleeve that I'm going to turn into a glove.
09:34But the real selling point is these giant wide leg pants, almost like a gliding Queen Amidala moment.
09:41This is going to just be like one side of the pant leg.
09:43Wow.
09:44And they're going to be really wide.
09:45I finally got this whole thing pleated.
09:48I'm feeling good about my design.
09:50I'm the only one who hasn't been on the bottom or the top.
09:54A lot of the work I do is one-of-a-kind pieces.
09:57So maybe this will be enough to get the judges to notice me.
10:02I got to work faster if I'm going to get things done tonight.
10:06So I know this isn't quite an avant-garde look.
10:08My look is definitely giving futuristic.
10:11I am making a mosaic corset dress.
10:14Super cool, especially with all the metallic details.
10:17I just have to make sure it looks expensive and not just a craft project.
10:21It's way better, right?
10:22Yeah.
10:26I really don't like this fabric.
10:29Little fan thing.
10:31I need to take a minute away from mine.
10:33How's yours going?
10:34This is my neoprene test.
10:37I don't know that this spiral is going to work in the neoprene.
10:40It could work, but you might need to just shorten this area to actually create more of a circular shape.
10:46I'm super intimidated.
10:48I'm surrounded by so many talented people and everyone has an opinion.
10:54I just feel out of my realm.
10:56I'm feeling overwhelmed right now.
10:57It's a lot of critiquing at one time.
10:59Everything you have pinned looks good.
11:01All right.
11:02Okay, got it.
11:03I got it.
11:04I got it.
11:05I just need some space.
11:06Okay.
11:07Okay.
11:08I just don't want to let my team down.
11:10I know that they think I'm the weakest link.
11:13However, I'm really trying.
11:17We all just want you to do well.
11:19I just have to build up my confidence.
11:24Now you've got this.
11:25All right.
11:30I want my look to be the look that's embracing the yellow from this camouflage foil.
11:34But I can't be head to toe yellow.
11:36I don't want to stand out.
11:37I don't want to be the sore thumb.
11:38My look is the most saturated in yellow.
11:41Nobody else is making anything with yellow in it.
11:44I'm not cohesive with everybody else.
11:46We want to figure out where we can use this in your look, hey?
11:48You know what, though?
11:50I'm doing a yoke.
11:51Maybe I do my top yoke in this.
11:53Oh, okay.
11:54I really like that.
11:55Most of our team is actually doing quite well.
11:58Everyone has a clear vision.
12:00So I am not worried about our team being in the chopping block
12:03because our fabrics are solid and we have a very good story.
12:07Five minutes, everybody.
12:10Oh, wow.
12:12Let's go home, guys.
12:14Okay.
12:21This is it.
12:22Let's do it.
12:23Let's go.
12:25Come on over.
12:26Why don't we just have a quick check-in at the start of the day?
12:28We're doing avant-garde this week with custom fabrics.
12:31We need these moments of color and shape to make us feel something.
12:35It's not just going to be clean lines in the future.
12:38I agree.
12:39I'm really happy with our team's idea.
12:41I'm making a three-piece look with a big white pant,
12:45a short bomber with big shoulder pads.
12:48I think it's completely doable to bring in everybody else's ideas.
12:52So I'm feeling pretty good.
12:54Team John!
12:55Yeah!
12:56I forgot what our team name is.
12:59Can we just go one by one and just say like what we're going to be doing today?
13:02So I am still doing a corset.
13:03I will do with my chainmail silver fabric pants and long sleeve to the floor turtle head neck.
13:12Um, I had no idea that Kat even had sketched out pants.
13:17Kat has seemed to shift her design and I don't know what is going down the runway,
13:21so I don't know how I'm supposed to match it.
13:24It's not me to do crazy shapes that go everywhere.
13:28So why should I do that?
13:31It's going to be fun.
13:36What do you think, Sansie Foster?
13:38Yes, girl.
13:39That is avant-garde.
13:42I love that.
13:43I'm super excited.
13:44I'm still working on my vision, but this is a team challenge and I've incorporated all of the team's suggestions,
13:55but it's still me at the end of the day.
13:57I just need to figure out how to keep the shape on the suit.
14:02This is going well, but I need it done for the fitting.
14:05Oh, I know.
14:06I'm behind.
14:07I finished the shorts, finished the vest, finished the boots, finished the crop top.
14:12I still have so much to do.
14:14We also need to have elements that tie us together.
14:18So I'm just going to make it work and hope I'll be able to stand out in a good way.
14:22I just, I hope it's avant-garde enough.
14:25Good morning, designers.
14:27Hey.
14:28Hey.
14:29Your models are here.
14:32Hi there.
14:33Hello.
14:34How are you?
14:35Nice to meet you.
14:36It's a bit complicated because I've done all this pleading.
14:39It looks so good.
14:41Yeah, it's really flattering.
14:42Ooh.
14:43I like it.
14:45Awesome.
14:46Tell me what's going on.
14:47I still see my favorite fabric on the table.
14:49I know.
14:50It's going to go somewhere.
14:51It is.
14:52It is.
14:53I don't make a lot of menswear, but I do have a background in tailoring.
14:57For this look, I want to show something that is conceptual, futuristic, and well thought out.
15:03I have to figure out how I'm going to implement this into that.
15:07Does this feel okay?
15:08How does this feel comfort-wise?
15:09It's good.
15:10It's just like this.
15:11Oh, my God.
15:12I'm so sorry.
15:13This fabric is very elegant.
15:14It's not giving me future.
15:16The structure will give you the future.
15:19So this boning would be sitting here just to kind of give it that asymmetrical look.
15:25What you're not doing is making an evening gown and then sticking these on it, right?
15:32Yeah.
15:33You're not doing that.
15:34No.
15:35Future avant-garde awkward pieces.
15:37Oh, my God.
15:38Am I not good?
15:39To me, it's art.
15:40Avant-garde.
15:41Couture.
15:42So even though Aurora looks very concerned, I feel like I got this.
15:44It looks amazing.
15:45But it's not.
15:46Look.
15:47That is incredible.
15:48Wow.
15:49Yeah.
15:50Let's see our family.
15:51This collection is cohesive.
15:52Modern, avant-garde, but still within the world of believability.
15:54I see it.
15:55I see the vision.
15:56All four of them.
15:57All four of them.
15:58All four of them.
15:59All four of them.
16:00All four of them.
16:01All four of them.
16:02All four of them.
16:03All four of them.
16:04All four of them.
16:05All four of them.
16:06All five of us checking in with each other is giving everybody else confidence.
16:11Even Little Feather has confidence.
16:13Honey, you're eating.
16:14It's so good.
16:15A Little Feather's outfit might win the runway this week.
16:19I still need to topstitch this so it'll actually do what it's supposed to do.
16:23And you can hold it.
16:24Kat, we have pants.
16:26Oh, yes.
16:27Delaine.
16:28Can you come over with your model?
16:31Yes, come.
16:32Ooh.
16:33Is this a knit?
16:34Yeah.
16:35You haven't seen it?
16:36You haven't seen it?
16:37I haven't seen it up close like this.
16:38How are these ones having conversation?
16:41Because this is extremely structured.
16:43Yeah.
16:44And this is very flowy.
16:45All the details and everything gonna be here.
16:49On the waist?
16:50Have you guys talked about your looks together at all?
16:54Yeah.
16:55Yeah.
16:56These pants are perfect.
16:57Are they perfect for this challenge?
16:59I don't know, but I like them, okay?
17:01So just stop talking to me.
17:06I think that we have to line up the models.
17:09Okay.
17:10Curtis, can you run here to line the models?
17:13Rome, can we put stuff together?
17:16I don't even know what the f*** is going on over there.
17:24I see a lot of different kind of looks happening.
17:27It will need to be put together more.
17:30I have no idea what they're doing.
17:33I'm just seeing a lot of colors going on.
17:35Take one last look right now, because the fitting is officially over.
17:42Models, I need you guys out.
17:44Okay.
17:45You guys need to have, like, a little more urgency
17:48with making sure things are cohesive.
17:50Our group did not communicate as effectively as we should have.
17:54It absolutely makes me nervous.
17:56If I get put into the bottom because of other people's work,
17:59I will lose my mind.
18:02All right, designers.
18:03Two people are out this week.
18:05That's how much noncommunication is going to cost you guys.
18:08You have a few hours left.
18:10Figure it out.
18:12I'll see you guys tomorrow.
18:16I'm feeling good on my part,
18:18but Kat's outfit is a bit different from everybody else's.
18:21And also, Nemo's, I don't think, is very futuristic.
18:24If a team goes down, then I go down,
18:27and two people are going home.
18:29So it is do or die.
18:30I'm sewing up until the last minute.
18:34Less than ten minutes.
18:36Uh-oh.
18:37Where's my scissors?
18:39Is it straight?
18:40Is it, like, stiff?
18:41I think when she walks, it's gonna bounce a bit.
18:48You guys, time's up.
18:49Oh, my God, I'm exhausted.
18:51I'm so exhausted.
19:00I need to do the hood, the sleeve, and the color.
19:03Do you like it?
19:04Yes.
19:05Add more.
19:06It's wrinkly.
19:07It's stiff as hell.
19:08Today is a runway day,
19:10and I still have to do the bodice,
19:12but it isn't working.
19:14It's crinkly.
19:15It's bent.
19:16So I have to create a new one.
19:18I don't think I have enough.
19:19I might have.
19:21That?
19:22Fight for my life.
19:25Good morning, designers.
19:26Good morning.
19:27I brought your models.
19:29Hello, miss.
19:30Ew.
19:32I have two more flounces
19:33I'm gonna add to the back.
19:37Where's my model?
19:38You still have to iron the plates down.
19:41Missing your model.
19:42I am waiting.
19:44And waiting.
19:46Your model is not here.
19:49And they're not coming.
19:51Oh.
19:52That is not what I wanna hear.
19:53Not at this time.
19:55Not moments before the runway.
19:57I've got someone else for you.
19:59Okay.
20:00Perfect.
20:01Let me just see his measurements.
20:03He's taller.
20:04I'm feeling the pressure and panic.
20:09There's no time for the changes.
20:12That's okay.
20:13We'll make it work.
20:14I wish they'd sent Tyson Beckford,
20:16but he wasn't available.
20:21Can I help you with anything?
20:22You're pasting and then trimming around it?
20:24Yeah.
20:25I'm on full-blown panic mode.
20:28I still don't have the material on the bodice.
20:31If I were you, I would top-stitch this all down,
20:34all around the border.
20:35At this point, I'm very worried
20:36that she's not even gonna have a look on the runway.
20:38This is a team challenge,
20:39and two people are going home this week.
20:41But I'm not gonna let anybody sink.
20:43If you want, I can take this
20:44and top-stitch around the whole thing
20:45at the industrial.
20:46Okay.
20:47Unfortunately, nothing is working out.
20:50Oh, my God.
20:51No.
20:52The needle broke.
20:53We're taping it.
20:54We're taping it.
20:55Well, the skirt is good.
20:59Thankfully, I only have one change to do on my new model,
21:02and that is to tighten the skirt.
21:04If this is a quick fix...
21:06Foster, how you doing, baby?
21:07I'm good.
21:08Do you want to do a quick huddle?
21:09Yeah, are you ready?
21:10Yeah, yeah, we can do it.
21:11We can do it.
21:12Yeah.
21:13This is good.
21:14This is good.
21:15Uh...
21:16The brief was that each look
21:18has to feature both materials prominently,
21:24and I'm just seeing this.
21:25UV material.
21:26Where is the other material?
21:30I expected more.
21:33Aurora's right.
21:34We have to embrace this transparent print.
21:36I'm just melting plastic all over the place here.
21:39Oh, my God.
21:40No worries.
21:41Keep going.
21:42Keep going.
21:43Don't worry about me.
21:44Designers, when you're ready,
21:45you can start bringing your models
21:47over to the L'Oreal Paris Glam Room.
21:50I'm excited to get your hair done.
21:54Oh, yeah.
21:55I'm looking for a strong, bold eye
21:57because we're 100 years in the future.
21:59I'm going to use the Voluminous Mascara.
22:01I'm actually going to use Burgundy
22:03because it's really going to accentuate
22:05her gorgeous blue eyes.
22:06Oh, yeah.
22:07I like that on the bottom.
22:08Yeah.
22:09Ten minutes left, everybody.
22:14Gorgeous.
22:15Let's go.
22:16Start heading to the runway.
22:20Okay.
22:23It doesn't look that bad.
22:25All right.
22:26Final looks, everyone.
22:27Let's go.
22:28There's no thumb hole on this.
22:30I've got to quickly make one.
22:34So the back isn't finished.
22:37I don't know anymore.
22:39All right, designers.
22:40Let's get these models out and onto the runway.
22:43I have to glue the edges
22:45so that it gives it a clean finish.
22:47Namo.
22:48Yeah.
22:49Namo.
22:50I don't know.
22:51I'm...
22:52You gotta go.
22:53I'm...
22:54You gotta go.
22:55I know.
22:56I'm over this at this point.
22:58Currently, I am not happy with myself.
23:03That's all I can say.
23:05Hi, designers.
23:06Hello.
23:07This week, your challenge was to create a cohesive collection of avant-garde fits suitable for the year 2125 tonight.
23:22is a double elimination.
23:23Please say hello to your judges.
23:25fashion designer,
23:27fashion designer,
23:40fashion designer,
23:41fashion designer,
23:42fashion designer,
23:43fashion journalist,
23:44jeannie becker.
23:45Hi.
23:46Great to see you all.
23:47And our guest judge,
23:48celebrity makeup artist and co-founder of Patrick Ta Beauty, Patrick Ta.
23:56Hi, everyone.
23:57Oh, my God.
23:58Patrick Ta is here.
23:59He's the OG makeup influencer.
24:00He's a very big inspiration.
24:01I know.
24:02I'm super excited to be here.
24:03We'll be scoring your designs as they come down the runway.
24:06First up, team fashion.
24:10I feel amazing.
24:11I was shooting for something really big and dramatic.
24:14And, oh, my God.
24:17I did it.
24:18I was shooting for something really big and dramatic.
24:22And, oh, my God.
24:23I did it.
24:24I was shooting for something really big and dramatic.
24:28And, oh, my God.
24:32I did it.
24:35I'm really proud of my outfit this week.
24:43My favorite thing about my outfit is that it gives that futuristic feeling,
24:47that avant-garde look without being a costume.
24:53I want to show the judges a bit more of my style and the way I like to create shapes.
24:58I love the cutout in the back.
25:00And the pants are the best thing I've done in this competition.
25:09Oh, this week, I feel I really did step up to the plate.
25:14I am so proud of my look.
25:19I finally get to show the judges a more conceptual side to my designs.
25:24I am so happy.
25:25This is the best thing I've ever made.
25:26It's avant-garde.
25:27I'm super confident.
25:28It's perfect.
25:31This jacket is exactly how I wanted it to look.
25:32I wanted it to feel light.
25:33I wanted it to feel heavy at the same time.
25:34I wanted it to feel heavy at the same time.
25:40And I know for a fact, when you see this jacket, you will think of Charles Lou.
25:41And I know for a fact, when you see this jacket, you will think of Charles Lou.
26:10I'm feeling confident about the runway.
26:14The five of them looked great together.
26:17Everybody had a really cool concept.
26:19They followed through with it.
26:21And I think all five of these people are all in the same universe.
26:25And now, team forward.
26:32I'm really proud of what I created.
26:34The skirt is just, it's everything.
26:36And you can really see all the detail and mosaic work I put into the corset.
26:42I probably could have pushed myself a little bit more.
26:45However, it's definitely given future, so I think I'm all right.
26:49The future is here.
26:54My model is a Monoxie, a caretaker who's here to defend all the people still living on Earth 100 years from now.
27:03She looks cool.
27:04She looks badass.
27:05I love the structure of the collar.
27:07It is bold, edgy, unique.
27:11I'm hoping they see my creativity.
27:18To me, this is avant-garde.
27:20It is bold and out of this world.
27:24I wanted to show the judges what I offer to this competition.
27:28This is what I do.
27:30I'm not feeling this one. I really don't. It's not perfect, but it shows my aesthetic.
27:42I really love this pants.
27:44At least the chainmail bodysuit is perfectly fitted.
27:54I'm really proud of this look.
27:57I think the pointed skirt and the open vest in the front is perfect.
28:00And this fun little cap is just the perfect way to tie it all together.
28:03I'm not happy with myself. It's not my best work.
28:16The front looks good. It's giving me that avant-garde look that I want.
28:21But the back isn't finished.
28:27It's yet another thing that I'm not happy with hitting the runway.
28:31It feels crappy.
28:33I am actually really proud of my team. Each of us really put so much work into the looks.
28:43Yes, there were some unfinished things with Nemo's dress.
28:47But when the seconds count down, there's not much you can do.
28:53Designers, please step up to the runway.
28:56You took us to a new time, but now your future is in our hands.
29:06Only one team will be in, and two designers from the losing team will be out.
29:15Tonight, team fashion, you shine the brightest.
29:21You are the winning team, and you are all in.
29:23Yay!
29:25Thank you. Thank you so much.
29:27Which means team four, you are the losing team, and two of you will be out.
29:33Please leave the runway.
29:37You win some, you lose some.
29:40It was a very hard challenge.
29:42Team fashion, you may be the winners of this challenge, but I gotta tell you, I'm not that impressed.
29:50She's upset.
29:51We're gonna get it.
29:53And I was expecting a lot more.
29:56However, there were a few highlights.
29:59We're gonna take a look at some of the top looks from this team.
30:02Oh.
30:04Foster, you looked so shocked there.
30:07I wouldn't consider myself an avant-garde designer.
30:09Walk us through this avant-garde look, because your mom looks great.
30:11We reference a hundred years ago, even today.
30:14So I felt that in a hundred years from now, there are things that would still look back upon.
30:18Tailoring would be one of them.
30:20Our concept was about the scarcity of resources, and I always find when something is scarce, it's a luxury.
30:26So man has this obsession with nature and earth.
30:31As you are explaining your design, I'm falling more in love with it.
30:36The way the folds flow, it's like really beautiful.
30:38Really divine.
30:39I love the juxtaposition of the structure of the top and then the fluidity of the bottom.
30:46It looks like it fits your model perfectly.
30:49You really got it to mold on the body.
30:51It was for a different model.
30:53I'm not really sure what happened to him, but he was a no-show.
30:55Well, you wouldn't, no. Congratulations, Foster.
30:58Thank you so much, judges.
30:59And the next top look from this team.
31:02Oh my God, that's me.
31:04Leland, tell us about this look.
31:06I specifically wanted to play with angles, shapes, and I wanted to do something that was really non-gendered.
31:12I love the silhouette. Let's start with the shoulders.
31:14Shoulders are amazing.
31:15There's just kind of a beautiful connection and symmetry with the lines here.
31:20The pleats on the pants are so well executed.
31:23It transported me.
31:24I immediately started thinking about what character would this be in a movie.
31:28But sometimes I think maybe, is it too costumey?
31:31It'll be interesting to see what comes down the runway from you in the next few weeks.
31:35I know he can do costume.
31:37However, I want from this day forth for us to never say that word again.
31:41Thank you, Leland.
31:42Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
31:43And now our final top look of this team.
31:48Charles, you time traveled and you brought back some receipts.
31:51I wanted to play with these biomorphic shapes and I wanted to create all these butterfly wings and have a return to nature.
32:00Honestly, I was blown away when I saw this come down the runway. It's amazing. It felt futuristic.
32:04I'm so impressed. Definitely a beautiful piece. Artful, imaginative.
32:09Both materials were standouts. It wasn't like you were trying to fit them in. You were trying to showcase them.
32:14It was the perfect piece to close the show.
32:17Thank you so much.
32:19Charles, Foster, Leland, you are our top designers of the week.
32:25But only one of you will be the winner.
32:28Maya and Littlefeather, you're both still in.
32:31You can all leave the runway.
32:34Congratulations.
32:35Congratulations.
32:36You guys, we did it.
32:38We did it. We did it. We did it. We did it.
32:44Hello, designers. Unfortunately, you are the losing team.
32:48Let's bring out the looks that scored the lowest in your team's collection. Here's the first.
32:55Oh, yes.
32:57Kat, tell us about this look.
32:59Our story was, it's like an apocalyptic situation, so we need to protect ourselves.
33:05So I did a full bodysuit of chainmail.
33:08I'm really confused. This does not feel futuristic at all.
33:12I am a fan of a stretchy tight catsuit, but a glittery fabric, I just didn't think was aesthetically pleasing.
33:19This is just bad taste. And I know you can do way better. Thank you, Kat.
33:25Let's bring out the next lowest score.
33:27Delarumic, explain this look for us.
33:33A hundred years from now, our earth is damaged due to climate change, resource extraction.
33:40And if anyone understands that, it's indigenous people.
33:44So my thinking was, she's a protector.
33:47She's someone we look to for guidance and strength.
33:50Your heritage is beautiful. Your story is beautiful.
33:53But the outfit simply isn't.
33:55I commend you for using both fabrics, but it just felt a bit chaotic.
34:01For me, I had trouble seeing these pieces jive together.
34:05Thank you, Delarumic.
34:07And our final lowest score of the night.
34:10Namo, your model wasn't able to continue wearing your design.
34:21So they won't be coming out.
34:23Oh.
34:24Oh.
34:25Oh.
34:26My gosh.
34:27Oh.
34:28My gosh.
34:29Tell us what happened.
34:30Yeah.
34:31It was very tough working with the foil.
34:33Everything just fell apart.
34:35And so the top wasn't finished.
34:37So then I taped and glued on the edges.
34:40Glue on the model?
34:41Yeah.
34:42Glue on their skin?
34:43Yeah.
34:44Oh, that's good.
34:45A little bit, yeah.
34:49Designers do not bring down dresses that are glued to models.
34:52I'm beating myself up for it right now.
34:54I feel for you and, like, I want to cry, like, with you.
34:57Like, I was watching you as your model was walking down the runway.
35:01I could see defeat within your eyes.
35:03To be honest, I felt like a burden already in this group because I wasn't picked at all.
35:09So, yeah.
35:11Yeah.
35:12I think we would all feel the same way, honestly.
35:15Thank you, Nemo.
35:17Kat, Dalarumic, and Nemo, two of you will be out.
35:24Delaine, Curtis, and Rome, you're all still in.
35:30Designers, you can all leave the runway.
35:33Oh, for sure.
35:38That was a lot.
35:39Mama.
35:40You made me.
35:41Aw.
35:42That was hard to lie.
35:43Yeah.
35:44All right.
35:45Let's talk about who should be our winner.
35:46If you look at someone like Leland, we've seen this consistent level of craftsmanship.
35:51I love the cutout of the transparent print.
35:53It kind of felt like fire.
35:55I believe that we have a very talented designer here.
35:58This outfit is absolutely incredible.
36:00But it did feel a bit costumey.
36:02And that is not where we really want to be going with Leland.
36:06I do think this challenge does require a bit of costume.
36:09What about Foster?
36:11I mean, his mom didn't show up.
36:12When he's under pressure, he can actually do better.
36:14I thought Foster did an amazing job, no question.
36:17And I also like the fact that there was a real gender-fluid vibe to that.
36:23I love the top.
36:24The top was very sleek-built, futuristic.
36:26Charles, his design was immaculate.
36:29This was one of my favorite looks.
36:31The shape, it was definitely boundary pushing.
36:33I thought it was a great utilization of the materials.
36:36That headpiece was something that you would see on a red carpet.
36:40I thought it was almost in a league of its own.
36:42Now, who should be worried that they're going home tonight?
36:45It's a tough one.
36:46I really believe that Nemo's got talent, but the craftsmanship was just really bad.
36:53And very little about it screamed futuristic to me.
36:57The top was, I don't even know how that thing was on.
37:00On.
37:01Not well-constructed.
37:02Business in the front and it was like panic in the back.
37:05Let's not forget Cat.
37:06That was atrocious.
37:08That was like a bad home ec project.
37:10It was an avant-garde.
37:12I think the capelet was ill-fitting.
37:14I would be embarrassed to walk down the runway with that.
37:17But I just found Cat's look much more aesthetically pleasing than Dalarumix.
37:22This felt like material thrown into a futuristic washing machine.
37:28Sometimes less is more.
37:29It really was very disappointing.
37:32Bottom line is, this is a runway and these outfits don't spark excitement.
37:38It is embarrassing. It sucks.
37:40I literally cried when yours went down the runway.
37:43I was thinking of all the indigenous girls watching.
37:46Just seeing that representation is so important.
37:50It was a powerful moment.
37:52Okay, it looks like we made our decisions.
37:54Let's bring the designers back.
38:00Foster, Charles, and Leland.
38:04The top look tonight was innovative, conceptual, and inventive.
38:10The winner of this challenge is...
38:16Charles.
38:22Congratulations.
38:23Thank you so much.
38:24Oh my God!
38:26I'm feeling so good!
38:28Everyone, finally.
38:30To hear that is so validating as a designer.
38:33I wanted to prove myself and for people to feel something.
38:37Thank you so much.
38:38You have a very bright future ahead.
38:41I really believe in you.
38:42Jeannie Becker loves me.
38:44I love her.
38:45I've watched her ever since I was a kid.
38:48I followed her journey and now she's following mine.
38:50Foster and Leland, you're still in.
38:54And you can all leave the runway.
38:56Thank you so much.
38:59Guess who won?
39:00Guess who won?
