"The prints aren't my thing." "They're not what I would gravitate towards as a customer." "Joshuahasfouramazing looks, but there's a lot of different colors in it." "I just think that they might be a little too casual." "Goodmorning,designers." "Gather round, please." "I wanna welcome you to the Piperline workspace at the 1407 Broadway Building." "The judges asked to see a sample of each of your collections, so you will each be presenting three looks." "Your models will not be in today for a fitting." "They will be coming in tomorrow."

"CanI express a disappointment of sorts?" "And I'll tell you why." "I feel as though you've retreated back into your comfort zone." "Right,yes." "There'sthatpossibilitythat they're going to say, "Anya, this didn't surprise us."" "Yeah." "Dowewannasee the remaining seven looks?" "I don't know." "IfeellowerthanI've felt  in this whole competition." "It's the worst critique I've had, and it's a big moment." "And it's hard."

"And this is the first time I've ever witnessed Anya seem to not have the confidence that she had through the rest of the competition." "Somuchof howI'vebeen here  has been, like, not taking it too seriously." "Because I didn't think about anybody else." "I didn't think about what are my parents gonna think?" "What's the country gonna think?" "What are my friends gonna think?" "What are my brothers gonna think?" "And then, I think I got home and got, like, so overwhelmed by, like, how much this means to everybody." "And it's like, I didn't expect that." "I didn't expect that." "I didn't expect for it to be such a big deal." "Comingupon ProjectRunway:" "Howiseveryone?" "Alittlenervous." "Something has to calm down." "Suchisthegame." "IhopeImakeit."

"I'mgladIgot to86that gown I was trying to do." "'Cause that was about to be a disaster." "Tim tells me that I need to be centered." "I feel, all over the place, I have so much that I have to do." "I'm gonna have to pull it together unless I'm going to be the first person ever not to have a complete collection, and" "I can't do that." "Ithinkwe shouldgo, guys." "Drop the scissors."

"So I want the hair pulled up into a pony tail, but then I want a big braid." "Okay." "Iwouldlikeeveryonejust to be tight slicked back." "And just pony tail." "Godownalittlebitmore." "Doyouthinkmaybesomething like a twist in the" "Um...well,let'sgivethis" "Yes,moretexture." "Andthenjustkindofjust- " "Exactly." "SoI 'mthinkingabout a fuchsia lip." "Beautiful." "Iwantthemtojust look like  they've come out of a commercial for...a bronzer type thing." "You know?" "Okay." "Justkindof smokeyeyes,but not too dominating." "I don't even want it to be like," ""Oh, she's going out to town."" "I want her to" "Alittlesoftdaytimesmoke." "ButI 'llsithereand watch you guys." "Oh,good." "Canyoudo somethingto darken my eyes?" "Like, would that look cool?" "Idon'twanttolook like  a drag queen." "And that's easy for me, 'cause" "I'm beautiful already." "[Laughter]" "It'sverytense." "We're all very focused." "Anya's so quiet because she's, you know, over there sewing like..." "She's like this close to everything." "But I can tell, you know, her being quiet is definitely her focused, frantic energy going into the clothes." "Anyaisapersonwhoputs everything together at the last minute." "So I'm not surprised." "I'vejustswitchedone ofmy looks." "The look that I switched to is going to be more fashion forward." "Igottasewthis in two minutes." "And now we have to make adjustments with the fit." "It's a lot of pressure, a lot of nerves going on." "Designers,in15 minutes,you  and your models and I are going to the runway." "Thankyou,Tim." "Thankyou." "Iloveit ." "Perfect." "Thevoiceis in theclothing." "I hope they're gonna look at it and say, "it's refined, it's constructed well, and we can't wait to see the rest of it at" "Lincoln Center."" "So it definitely means everything to make it into that top three." "[Air hissing]" "Imostof allfeelproudof myself to have pulled myself out of a funk and just kept moving." "Because, at this point, that's the best that I can do." "Can you walk?" "It's to show the best pieces that I think show my style and show the collection and give the judges a sense of what I want to show at Mercedes-Benz." "Cute,loveit ." "Justshowingin FashionWeek, uhh, it's something that I think" "I've dreamt for so long." "And this is it." "Yeah." "[Crying] I tried my best to represent myself and just go out there and just be--be fierce." "Now I hope people enjoy it." "There'sa lotIfeellike is riding on this." "I just hope I make it." "I just want this so badly." "So I hope I make it." "I really do." "I really want this, so..." "Designersandmodels,itis time to go down to the runway." "All right, everyone?" "Follow me." "Chelsea,giveme aturn." "Turn and look at me for a second." "Yeah,okay,you'regood." "Comingupon ProjectRunway:" "I think that skirt is awful." "Itlookstortured." "Halloweencostume." "It'sfullHalloween." "[Laughing]It'sbad." "Oy,yi,yi ,yi ,yi ." "Welcomebackto NewYork,and welcome back to the runway." "All:" "Thankyou." "Tonight,we'lldecidewhich three of you will compete at" "Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, and which one of you will be out." "We wanted to see more from all of you before we made our final decision." "So we had all four of you create collections." "Tonight, you will show us three looks, and we'll decide who we want to see more from." "Okay, let's say hello to the judges." "First, we have CFDA lifetime achievement award winner" "Michael Kors." "Welcomeback,guys." "Thankyou,Michael." "Fashiondirectorfor" "Marie Claire magazine," "Nina Garcia." "Hello." "All:" "Hi,Nina." "Andthat'sit ." "[Laughter]" "Good." "You'reallverytalented." "But unfortunately, only three of you will compete at Fashion" "Week." "All right, let's start the show." "AsI 'mlookingat theleather skirt with that little cocktail dress, it looks really, really cool." "I like it." "It's that rock and roll girl." "And she looks like a mean girl, almost." "She worked it out." "The second look is probably my favorite." "It's a stunner." "You can't go wrong with a tuxedo with glass." "I love it." "I love head to toe." "It's beyond belief." "She has arrived." "I love the third look." "I think my favorite thing is the jacket." "It looks really cool." "It's an odd combination, but I wanted to show a show piece instead of showing something that's aesthetically normal." "I'm really happy with the way everything looked." "It's just probably the best that" "I've done." "Love it." "Thefirstlookisa short batik dress." "I think the dress is quite nice." "It's a great step towards merging the aesthetics that I now feel I have." "I'm looking at Megan in the deep wool bathing suit with a beige long cover-up." "It's not terrible, but on a darker-skinned girl it would really look amazing." "It is what it is." "I think that it will be fine." "Shelookslikeshe camefrom  the Bahamas." "The third look is a long, gold satin gown." "I feel that this dress shows that I'm trying to merge the aesthetics that I have discovered in myself." "I feel proud of what I've done." "I feel like they best represent the entire palettes of the collection as well as where I'm trying to go as a designer." "Myfirstlookismycasual look." "It's loose and easy." "But it has details and edge that my girl would love." "The second look is the brocade two-piece, which is very me." "It has a mid-range." ""I can to a cocktail party or to work" kind of feel." "So there really were no issues there." "My third look is very representative of what I think my customer would like to see." "I like it." "I think it has a wow factor and a sense of sophistication that I think goes with the rest of the collection." "Iliketheshimmering." "Mm-hmm." "Iloveit ." "Iloveitalot." "I am in love with my collection." "I'm very excited that it's very different from the others." "I'm just really proud of myself for getting to this moment." "I'mreallyhappywithhow this tailored jacket has turned out." "In terms of using unconventional fabrics, I think it embodies what I do as a designer." "I'm really happy with my neoprene little black dress." "It's quite beautiful." "It's making me melt." "My third look, I love." "I think it's a stunning piece." "It shows the organic-ness of the drapes that I do." "But then there's also an amazing-fitting jumper that's wearable and extremely beautiful." "I feel good." "I think my three looks definitely represent what my collection has to offer." "I can see how brilliant it will look when it's at Lincoln" "Center." "Threeofyouwillbe competing at Mercedes-Benz" "Fashion Week." "And one of you will be out." "Anya,we'regonnaspeakto you first." "Let's bring out your models." "Tell us about your looks and why you brought these looks today." "Well,I wenthometo" "Trinidad." "I wanted to represent myself as a Caribbean designer." "And I chose these three to give a sense of the palettes and to give a taste of what the whole collection is." "Ilovethisfirstdressthat you did." "It's a hybrid between that last black dress that you did and your Caribbean roots." "Right." "Ihaveto sayIwasa little bit surprised." "Out of the three looks, I liked one, which is this dress." "I like that print." "That, to me, shows your sense of style." "I don't think that the bathing suit is particularly flattering on her." "I feel like she's falling out." "And then this caftan, this particular color to me looks just very drab and very sad." "The gown, to me, looks like it's something that you've done in a day." "And I just don't see it being, like, made very well." "The back part just kind of looks folded over, so it looks very heavy, and it looks kind of unfinished." "It doesn't flow." "It just kind of hangs there and is stuck." "Itlookstortured." "And, listen, and it's satin, so it shows everything." "Imean,thegownkind of comes at the end." "It's your "wow" piece." "And I feel like it has to be perfect." "Thestylingis nothelping you at all." "You don't need the big wonder woman belt, you don't need the bracelets." "The shoe looks like something that a bad newscaster would wear." "The vibe, I think, is right." "You've just gotta remember how to style it to keep it young." "If they looked a little beachier, it would take the whole thing and give it an easiness." "Right." "Ithinkit needstolook ,in a weird way, how would someone in the Caribbean look glamorous?" "Right." "Well,they'dbe undone." "Iwouldtrytochange the shoes." "Maybe you would want to do some cool flats to make it look a little cooler." "Right." "Partofwhatmakesyou different than anybody else here is that you have a very different point of view." "You just have to, Anya, really embrace what you're good at." "Yeah,thankyou." "Allright,Anya,we'veheard what you had to say." "Models, you can leave the runway." "Thankyou." "Thankyou ." "Bye ." "Kimberly,tellus aboutyour looks and why you chose these three to show us today." "IwentbackhometoBrooklyn." "I'm very passionate about where" "I'm from." "The first look is kind of casual, and it shows that vibe." "My second look is more of a "she could be going out, she could be going to work, maybe."" "And then, with Boyana, I, you know, showed you the gown and some of the easy draping that's in the collection." "And I just styled them, you know, just to keep it kind of young and still urban and..." "Fun." "IlovethatIknow that  they're your clothes." "You like a girl who's tough and who's got attitude." "I like what's going on with how you've handled the sexiness." "'Cause they're actually all covered up in the front." "Which is kind of great, 'cause normally, you know, someone says, "I wanna make it sexy,"" "which basically means she's topless and she's bottomless." "These clothes are full of color, full of sex appeal." "So the last thing you need is armloads of bracelets, those big bags, the matching cobalt shoe into the cobalt pant." "She looks a little like a club foot, it's so heavy." "But I wouldn't even mind seeing just black shoes, simpler hair." "And I wish they were cleaned up a little bit." "Okay." "ButI likethatithasyour vibe, 'cause that's really what this is about--you having a point of view." "Thankyou." "Ithinktheaccessorizingis an issue for me." "You need to rethink the whole styling because it's going to help your clothes look much better." "Okay." "Sothinkaboutthat." "They should look cooler, these clothes." "Ihadthebiggestproblem with the skirt." "I do not love the bubble butt." "To me, especially from the side, it looks like a cartoon." "I think that skirt is awful." "Itmightbe betterifitwas not quite as arced in the hem." "It might be a little bit more universally flattering, and you still got to experiment with volume." "Areyougonnastartwith one of these looks?" "There'sonepiecebefore this." "It's a leather jacket over a mini-dress." "Isthisyourpalette?" "No,I havesomeivories." "It's actually the ivory jacket goes over the skirt." "Sowhere'stheivoryjacket?" "Idon'tknow." "Oh!" "It was a bit big." "Idon'tknow,Imean ,today is an important day." "Iag--yes,Iagree." "Imean,youmightnotevengo because maybe you picked the wrong things today." "Okay, we've heard what you had to say." "Models, you can leave the runway." "Viktor, tell us about your looks and why you chose these three to show us today." "WhenI wenthome,Iwent  through pictures." "I went back all the way to my trip in Mexico, where I started." "That's where one of my brothers who passed away wanted to take me." "And, um...my other brother, which is his twin, took me to the beach." "I took these pictures." "I printed them into fabric." "These were just palms and kind of the sunset when I was having dinner with my boyfriend." "I really wanted to show print." "I wanted to show texture." "I wanted to show separates." "This is what I wanted to show you guys." "Ilovethesefirsttwo." "I think the jacket's great." "I like the way you played with the print on the trouser." "The tailoring's impeccable." "The little zippered dress, she doesn't need sunglasses, quite honestly." "The dress is glamorous enough." "If the accessories complete it and finish it, that's great." "But if they distract, it's a problem." "Idolikethis,um, see-through top with all the mirrors on there." "I think that that's really cool." "Couldyoudo me afavorand take the jacket off?" "Ahh." "Ahh." "The dress is gorgeous." "That's enough." "Once you add that jacket to it, it's too much." "CanI tryit on ?" "Youwantto ?" "Mm-hmm." "Yeah." "'Cause I had" "Ifyoudecidenot toshow it, maybe I'll just keep it." "Iwouldlovefor you tohave  it." "But, realistically, she's wearing a T-shirt and black pants." "Itlooksreallygood." "Imean,thatisa lotof work." "Thework'sinsane." "Iwishthesewerealittle bit smaller." "I think it's a really interesting idea, though." "It'sa funpiece." "Youknow?" "CanI askyouaquestion?" "I love this piece so much and" "I'dwhipup apairofblack  pants and a black tank top." "Gotit." "Findsomethingthat'sa backdrop for the work that you put into the jacket." "Okay." "Ilovethetop partofthis." "I think the skirt is too full." "Can I see when you zip it down, can I take a look at what happens?" "I wonder what it would look like without the leather skirt." "Oh, well..." "Ilovethat." "Divine!" "The prints are fantastic." "You don't need to be so tricky," "Viktor." "Okay." "Youdon'tneedthis distracting leather zipper skirt." "Unfortunately,youhaveto put the skirt back on." "Ohh." "All right." "Ithinktheeditingis important." "We told you to turn up the volume, but you might be just, you know" "More?" "No,no,no !" "You don't have to go all the way." "Just remember, when you've got two great pieces together, you want to let them shine and be a star." "But they're both great." "I just--together, they freak me out." "Okay,we'veheardwhatyou had to say." "Models, you can leave the runway." "Joshua, tell us about your looks, and tell us why you chose these three looks to show us today." "Well,I chosethesethree because they're kind of the DNA of my collection." "I really start out with this great palette of color that transcends into a more darker palette." "I just really wanted to play with some intriguing cuts, things that are new and innovative." "I really definitely wanted to show a little bit of my draping, but also the tailoring that I do." "Ihaveto say,Ilikedalot of your designs today." "Thankyou." "It'smodern,it 'sforward." "I like that it has this kind of colorful top underneath it." "I like it mixed with the pink pants." "I especially like this jacket." "I was not so in love with the buckle." "Kind of reminds me of, you know, the kind of strap that I put on my kids in the car seat." "It looks a little inexpensive." "Not so crazy about these shoes." "They're a little busy down there." "The focus should just be on the jacket." "Well...youhaveme alittle bit on a roller coaster." "We start with the high." "The jacket's great." "Thankyou." "AndI actuallylike the utilitarian seatbelt." "I mean, I love the whole vibe there." "Now we're gonna go to the middle, and I think the back of this dress is great." "I love the cut." "It'sa sexydress." "It's very simple, but it has interest." "Ihatethismodestytab." "If it's on a girl who's flat enough and thin enough, you don't need the modesty tab." "Here, love it from the front, hate if from the back." "Okay." "Oy,yi,yi ,yi ,yi ." "Can you turn around?" "Oh, my gosh, no." "The notion that any woman is gonna have her ass exposed in" "Olivia Newton-John's leggings..." "I'd rethink this weird combo." "But I love the neckline." "There's a consistency with this geometry that you have going here, which is fantastic." "Can you take her belt off for a second?" "Sure." "Trythebeltonherwiththe dress." "Itwason her,but Ichose not to because it breaks up the-- letmejustsee ." "Well, if you didn't have the modesty tab--I think it's great." "Youconvincedme ." "I like it now too." "Yeah." "Believeitor not,you who  have been having so many issues with styling managed to actually have the better styling." "These girls are pretty clean." "They look very polished." "Thankyou." "Justremembernottoaddtoo much." "I am so impressed." "You are a very good designer." "Havea consistency." "Have a focus." "You know, I really think that's so important." "Okay,Josh,we 'veheardwhat you had to say." "Models, you can leave the runway." "We have a very tough decision to make, and then I call you back out." "You can leave the runway." "Thankyou." "Thankyou,guys." "Thankyou." "[Singsong] In-tense." "Itwasfun,though." "It was a fun judging, right?" "Itwasgood." "Ihaveasmileonmy face." "But then it really hits me that...this is the moment where one of my major dreams will either come true, or it will die right here." "Ifeelthatitwent really well for me." "You know, I'm very humbled to hear, I mean, Nina Garcia say," ""You are a great designer."" "Youbothhavethe tightest collection." "You showed tremendous growth, and you--you did what they asked you to do, which is turn up the volume, but you kept it you." "You know, I thought from the beginning it was between Kim and" "I, and I think that that's just where we are now, you know?" "So that's not surprising to me." "I want to be in the top three more than I'm ready to admit to myself, because, when I think about it too much, it just freaks me out." "Ihaveto saythat,today,we have a really tough decision." "You know, they all did something good." "And some things that they really have to work on." "Especially the girls today, because I thought the boys did quite well." "Viktor, I was very impressed with today." "He has very special pieces." "I'm not always saying that they go together..." "That'shisproblem." "Youknow?" "Theywereallmadeperfectly." "But let's be Frank." "We restyled two out of three." "Yeah." "Thoseprintswereveryhis own." "Allofhisclothesare impeccably made and tailored." "For the benefit of having a better collection, he needs to know how to edit." "I don't know what else he's got up his sleeve." "Joshua's gotta fix that ugly cat suit/gown combo." "'Cause it's hideous." "Halloweencostume?" "It'sfullHalloween." "[Laughing]It'sbad." "Andthentheblackdresswith the little modesty tab, he's gotta fix that too." "His styling was the best of the bunch." "Thebest--hekeptitsimple, edited, I mean, and he of all people..." "Buthehassomeclothesto make." "He's not done yet, either." "All four of them really put forth something that was distinctly theirs." "Really?" "YouthinkAnya?" "Yeah,I thinkshegot caught up with trying to be glamorous." "Butitdoesn'thaveher handwriting on it." "Thatfirstdress..." "Firstdresswasfabulous." "I'mtalkingaboutthe evening gown." "Why did she do it in that fabric?" "Becauseshe'snotusedto making dresses like that, so she really didn't know." "Butwhy,forthe finale,why would you do that?" "Do something that you know you're good at." "She might even have blown it." "Well,itwasvery inconsistent." "Twooutof three..." "Twooutof threewerenot great." "Therewereothersthattwo out of three were not good, either." "WhenI lookat whatKimberly was doing, a styling disaster." "Ididn'tlikeher color palette." "And then those matching shoes with bags made it even worse." "Ilookat thesecolorsandI  look at the way it's styled, and" "I'm worried what else Kimberly's gonna show us." "Youweren'tthatnegativeon" "Kimberly!" "No,no." "Youlikedthatbubbleskirt." "I was like, "really?"" "Ikindof likedthatshewas playing with volume." "I just think that the way she showed it with that top and that handbag and those shoes and the braid made it looks crazy." "The girls choked today." "Bothofthemwereequallybad today." "Yes,bothof themwere equally bad." "Theyallneedtimetobe able to make something and possibly edit it and change it and shift it." "I think anything's possible." "Anythingispossible." "Well,I justwanttosay,  whatever happens today..." "I think this has been a journey for all of us." "And I'm so happy and honored to be with all of you guys." "I just want to say that I love you guys." "We'reallconnected." "Yeah." "Thefourof us ." "Yeah,I 'mhonoredas well." "Truly honored." "Sowe'vemadeour decision?" "Are we sure about this?" "Let'sbringthembackout." "You've all given us a lot to talk about, and we're glad to see you pushed yourselves and showed us your very distinct points of view." "There were some things we liked about what you showed us, and some things we didn't." "And that goes for all of you." "FashionWeekis here." "And we're about to cross the finish line." "Those of you who move forward must listen to our feedback." "Use the next couple of days to bring yourselves to the next level." "Joshua..." "Congratulations."

"There's a lot of potential in your looks." "But you both had problems." "Kimberly, from the hair and makeup to the accessories... your styling was a big problem." "And you have to watch your color palette." "Anya, we appreciate that you went for Caribbean glam, but the looks that you showed us today, they were missing something." "Kimberly..." "[Suspenseful music]" "♪ ♪" "You will show at New York" "Fashion Week." "Congratulations." "Thankyou." "[Whispering]Congrats." "Oh, I'm proud of you." "Congratulations." "Thankyou."
