"Previously on  Project Runway..." "We want you to create a fashion-forward, editorial look that will run in Marie Claire, and it will be worn by Jordana Brewster." "It's time for each of you to design on your own." "Yes!" "But you will have helpers." "Aw!" "Are you sure?" "No, you turn it over." "I can't work with Richard." "I just need to stop panicking." "Mentally, where I am right now, I'm not necessarily on the brink of insanity, but kind of in that realm." "Stanley..." "Yes?" "You are the winner of this challenge." "Wow!" "Thank you." "What an honor." "Michelle, Nina specifically said not to give her a T-shirt and pants, and that is exactly what you did." "Michelle..." "You're getting a do-or-die moment." "We were about to send you home, but we're gonna give you one last shot." "Okay." "Thanks." "You're in!" "You're in!" "I don't know." "They said that there's one last chance, so we'll see what happens." "Oh, my God!" "Wow, there's another..." "Well, yeah." "Challenge." "What did they say?" "Yay!" "I don't really want to be touched right now." "Why?" "Give me some space." "What did she say?" "Um, "you have one last chance."" "Okay." "We'll see what happens." "This is Project Runway..." "Teams edition." "The winner of Project Runway will receive $50,000 in technology and office space from HP and Intel to bring their creativity to life and run their business, a fashion spread in" "Marie Claire magazine, a 2013 Lexus GS, $100,000 from L'Oreal" "Paris to start their own line, and the chance to design and sell an exclusive collection at Lord  Taylor." "And the model paired with the winner of Project Runway will win a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine and $25,000 from L'Oreal Paris advanced haircare." ""One last chance." Wow, this is really crazy." "Roller coaster." "None of us know what's gonna happen, so we're all in this limbo." "It's kind of freaky." "It's hard to get super excited about a second chance when you feel like even your second chance won't be good enough." "Just, I feel really worn down." "It's all good, Michelle." "I'm so proud of what I made." "I know." "I thought it would incredibly casual editorial and everything." "I mean, you just never know." "You just never know." "Look, you didn't go home." "You're here because you're talented." "I know, I know." "It's frustrating." "I felt like, from day one, I was at the top." "I was just always on a team that was failing." "I-I just don't know if maybe my point of view is not the one that wants to be heard." "All right, I am here to make things perfectly clear." "Okay." "No one's going home." "Oh!" "Yay!" "You're all here because you're all extremely talented, and you have a second chance because of how extremely talented you are, all right?" "So, everyone, please meet Heidi and me on the Runway in ten minutes, all right?" "Okay, everyone, I'll see you downstairs." "I'm happy for Michelle that she got a second chance, because I think it's well-deserved, but it's a little bit of, um, mixed feelings, because we just had to work so hard for a challenge and it's still the same." "Five people are still here." "Come on." "Get this over with." "Hi, everybody." "Hello." "Welcome back to the Runway." "It is time for your final challenge, the one that will decide which of you will compete at Mercedes-Benz fashion week." "Michelle, for you, this is a do-or-die moment, and you really need to wow us to prove that we made the right decision in giving you this chance." "Nothing is gonna change for me, personally." "Every challenge has been a do-or-die challenge." "And I just want to say that this is really the biggest challenge of the season for each and every one of you, because it's your final opportunity to show the judges what you can really achieve." "As always, we have embraced being here in New York city this season, but now we think you need a change of scenery." "Wow." "We think it's time to get you out of here for a little bit." "You know, see the world." "Oh, my God." "I couldn't agree more, Heidi." "We're sending each of you to a different European country for your inspiration." "Oh, my God!" "Has anyone been to Europe before?" "Yes." "Yes, we all have." "I haven't." "Oh!" "I'm so excited." "I've never been anywhere." "Just stayed here in the united states." "It's so overwhelming." "You're each going to a city that is a fashion capital." "You're going there to find inspiration, and also to buy the textiles for this final challenge." "What?" "Wow." "And you're leaving tonight." "What?" "No." "We..." "All right, let's see who's going where." "Layana, you're going to Barcelona, Spain." "Thank you." "Yay!" "Holy cow." "Oh, I've never been to Spain." "Cool." "Patricia, you are going to Paris." "Yeah." "Thank you." "Merci." "Daniel, you're going to Berlin." "Deutschland." "You're going to Germany." "Oh, my God!" "I'm not coming back." "Stanley." "Yes?" "You're going to London, England." "No way!" "Fun times." "Good times." "Michelle, as you can see, I have no tickets left in my hand." "True, true." "We were prepared to send you home on the last challenge." "Mm-hmm." "But we decided to give you one last chance to prove yourself." "Fabulous." "But you will not be traveling to Europe." "That's okay." "You will be staying here, in" "New York city." "All right." "The fashion capital of the world." "Yes!" "It's got it all." "Just as was the case in the last challenge, we are providing you with sewing assistants, and the sewing assistants are traveling with you." "Layana, Samantha will be traveling with you." "Whoo!" "Sam!" "Oh, my God!" "Samantha and I in Spain!" "Oh!" "Oh, my God!" "Congratulations!" "That's definitely like the cherry on top of the cake, 'cause I think she's so much fun, talented, but at the same time, I'm thinking, "ooh, this could be trouble."" "Not too much fun in Barcelona." "You guys got to work over there, okay?" "I'm here to help." "Patricia, Kate will be traveling with you." "Whoo!" "Yes!" "I couldn't have a better partner to go with." "We were roommates, we got along." "Perfect!" "Oh, my God!" "Daniel, Amanda will be traveling with you, and she will be your assistant." "Girl!" "We're gonna have fun." "I'm actually really excited to work with Daniel." "I think we have a lot to learn from each other." "I will be editing Daniel and just kind of give him a younger vibe." "Stanley, Richard will be traveling with you." "Come on, girl." "Yeah!" "Whoo!" "Stanley and Richard in London." "And Michelle..." "Oh, tutti." "Tutti ruined it." "You saw him already?" "He came out without even being prompted." "Whoo!" "Hey, Tu." "Tu is a diva." "He's one of the funniest people." "We ain't going nowhere." "It's okay." "We'll stay in New York." "We're staying put." "I love me some Tu." "We would like to see each of you create a high-end Runway look that is creative and spectacular." "And your budget for this challenge is $1,000 U.S. wow!" "So expectations are very high, as well they should be." "Tomorrow, you have all day to sketch and be inspired by the city and to go fabric shopping." "Then you're going to come back to New York to work on your garment." "You go there, you suck it all in..." "Hop back on the plane..." "And start sewing." "All right, designers." "Good-bye and good luck." "We'll see you back here." "Bye." "Bye." "Heidi, why can't you and I go to Europe?" "I mean, really." "We should go too." "Yeah!" "Oh, my God, here we go." "I'm so excited, Kate." "I couldn't have a better person with me." "I know." "To London, please." "I'm just really overwhelmed." "I didn't think anything like this would happen to me today." "I didn't think in a million years I'd be going to Berlin." "Oh, I'm gonna be so inspired." "Barcelona." "Paree." "I'm going to Paris." "The gods were listening." "My prayers are answered." "Yeah!" "London." "Here we go." "I have butterflies in my stomach." "It's like I'm going on a first date." "We're on the plane right now." "We're going to Berlin to buy fabric." "This is crazy." "London." "Whoa, I'm just excited." "But I'm really trying to just, you know, stay in the moment and soak it up for everything that it is, because it's gonna be a crazy one-day trip." "It's cool." "We're on the wrong side of the road." "Yeah." "You gonna go see the queen?" "Yeah." "We made it." "We made it." "Oh, I don't know what to expect." "What is gonna happen?" "Very exciting." "Ooh-whee." "This is really cool." "Oh, I love that." "I like seeing the old and the new together." "Wow." "That's gorgeous." "Oh!" "It's just unbelievable." "I've been always wanting to come here." "Oh, wow." "That's awesome." "That is so cool, too, whatever those things are." "I think I got the best place." "And I just can't wait to absorb everything that I'm going to be exposed to." "Do you believe this?" "No." "We're here." "I cannot believe that I am in Paris." "We're not really altogether realizing we're here." "Yeah, we're so American." "Welcome to Paris." "Oh, my gosh." "Oh, see, that's so beautiful." "The whatchamacallit." "Arc de triomphe." " So beautiful." " There's the eiffel tower." "Holy crap, that's awesome." "That's amazing." "Look." "Whoa." "Wow." "When I think of Berlin, I think of the Berlin wall..." "Knowing that what it stood for and what it kept people apart, kept families apart." "I think of all the heartbreak that was there." "Wow." "Wow." "Too much." "Yeah." "Too much." "I was not expecting this." "I'm thinking how lucky I am to see this." "It's a lot to see..." "Wow." "You know?" "I can't explain really how happy I am." "But it's a happiness I know I haven't felt." "When my fellow designers go off to their chic, European cities, and I'm here in New York, I'm just so homesick and really lonely." "Even when I wasn't winning in the past challenges, I still felt really incredibly good about what I did." "And now it's like feeling good about what you do, is that not even good enough?" "And there enters this whole self doubt." "If I don't get this dark cloud that's hanging over my emotions out of here, I could end up creating something really miserable." "Okay, let's soak up the local flavor." "I'm gonna take pictures right away." "Our minds are just racing." "Oh, I want to take a picture of this." "I mean, we are on sensory overload right now." "I love that." "Oh, that's beautiful." "Oh, what is that spiky thing?" "Oh, look at that ripped paper with the painting." "That's where I'm gonna go, yeah." "That's pretty cool." "Look at this character." "It's not your regular graffiti, where it's spray painted or painted." "It is paper." "And then they put it onto the wall." "There is some funky, cool stuff going on here." "I'm starting to see more texture and the layers of history." "I could totally create fabric with all of this graffiti kind of stuff." "I'm not doing the romantic, whimsical Paris." "I'm doing the true, gritty, street, make-a-statement Paris." "This is cool." "It's, like, I'm not gonna give you a native woman on a buffalo blanket with her wind blowing in the hair." "Why would I just give a romantic" "Parisian?" "Too pretty." "Oh, and the small streets." "That church looks awesome." "Barcelona, it's, like, a place of so much passion." "How do you even make something like this?" "Can you imagine, like, going home, "this is where I live,"" "just, like, old building made of brick walls and all these, like, beautiful designs." "Like, these things, you know, for a pattern." "I'm so drawn to the beauty of the architecture and the details of the tiles." "I think it's amazing." "Details really seem important for you." "Yeah." "Oh, wow, that's westminster abbey." "Look at this." "Look at those arches." "It just looks..." "Extravagant." "Yeah." "We passed by westminster abbey, we passed by the parliament building." "That is gorgeous." "Wowee." "I am immediately starting to get inspired by all the architecture." "And I look over at big Ben, and it's so massive." "And it's just blowing my mind right now." "Look at that." "He's ringing." "Big Ben's ringing." "Yeah." "How cool is that?" "I know." "This is amazing." "I'm gonna start sketching." "I want to cover it up, I think, a little bit here." "My eyes keep floating toward the windows." "The further I go up, the darker the figurines get, and the darker the windows get." "What if there was this woman who lived up there?" "And what would she be wearing?" "Kind of ghostly or haunting." "So this is the little capelet thing, see?" "All of the inside of this will be all beaded." "Mm-hmm." "It's pretty dramatic." "And all black." "So I'm trying to come up with a design that's very modest in the front, very structural in shape." "But I come up with a silhouette that is very long and lean." "I've always gravitated toward things that are dark." "I wanted to be a vampire when I was a little boy." "And I've created lots of cheery clothes this season." "So I just kind of want to do" "Stanley and just do something just a little dark." "I think this is gonna be good." "No, I know it's gonna be good." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Oh, this is interesting." "I like the way this is." "Look, underneath here." "Yeah." "Did you see that building?" "Oh, my God." "There is my shape." "There is my idea." "This really cool building had all these, like, angles going along." "It was, like, the mother ship has landed." "I love the geometry of it." "Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam." "That's the one." "This is my inspiration." "Off to sketching." "Wow." "Oh, my God, we're at the eiffel tower, and that's where I'm gonna sketch." "Oh, my God." "This is just so breathtaking." "How many people have been there for painting, sculpting, drawing?" "And I get to be a part of this whole experience." "There's just... the amount of history is incredible." "I'm thinking for the top, I want something that is a really exquisite, expensive piece of material." "That's gonna have all my layers of textiles that's going to create that wonderful layering of history throughout the streets of Paris." "Is the jacket fitted or is it loose?" "It's fitted." "Okay, I think that's gonna be really unique." "Yeah." "Hey." "Hi." "I was pretty downtrodden that I didn't get to go to Europe." "Oh, my gosh." "This is crazy." "But there is a lot of beauty around me." "Wow, look at all the buildings." "It's beautiful." "The weather is good." "This is good weather for me." "It's raining." "And it's the opportunity for me to cleanse those negative feelings." "That's cool." "It's really, like, washing of those wounds and moving forward." "Oh." "Oh, be careful." "Holy cow." "We almost got decapitated." "I love these old buildings." "I know." "It's so cool, right?" "I love that old and new." "And this one right here." "Look how cute that is." "It's like a little house." "What's really inspiring me is the old buildings sandwiched in with the new." "Wow." "Especially when it's reflected in the glass of something new." "This has really changed my spirit." "Oh, this." "That, I love." "I wonder if there's a way to paint like that onto something, and then remove it." "I really love the stains from old chimneys and furnaces when it was coal and/or wood burning." "That's something I might want to recreate." "I know." "The color is so cool you know?" "It's beautiful." "I think that it's just really pretty stunning." "Oh, are we heading to" "Brooklyn?" "I guess so." "Oh, my God, in front of this building." "I know." "This is crazy." "Okay, so it's all about the jacket." "Okay." "That's what's gonna make it real luxe." "We just need to find a really pretty leather." "Is this a skirt or a dress?" "I think it's gotta be a skirt, separates." "I love that idea." "Okay, well, let me play devil's advocate." "Younger women wear a jacket over a dress and not a jacket and a skirt." "That's true." "Daniel needs to design for a younger client, which is why Berlin is perfect for him." "I can cut a beautiful bias dress." "I haven't done one." "I love this idea." "I told her I wanted to do a bias-cut dress." "It has some type of movement at the bottom." "Everything I've done has been fitted and tight." "This is soft and angular." "But I'm willing to go that far at this challenge to take my design to a different level." "This is a totally different Daniel." "Oh, my gosh." "Wow." "This is so amazing." "I can't believe this is it, la sagrada familia." "Oh." "Being out here, sketching in front of this amazing monument," "I just feel so inspired." "I'm here to fulfill my dream." "And my mom is the person that I want to make the most proud, because she had such a hard time trying to raise me, my brother, and my sister on her own." "We're really gonna go full on with a pattern." "I'm already, like, thinking," ""okay, I want to work with leather and create my pattern."" "The best way to showcase that would be with a very beautiful jacket." "The main focus of this is definitely the jacket." "Oh, yeah." "I agree." "I'm going to be making a leather jacket with a tile pattern, skinny-leg pants, and a simple tank top." "I see it." "You see it, right?" "Yeah, yeah." "I see it, too." "She is beautiful today." "This would be kind of, like, a good place to sit and sketch." "Yeah." "I really want to do this leather bib, play with the shiny, 'cause what I liked about the windows, you know, the glass on the buildings, is that shiny." "The challenge was to make a garment that is luxe." "And being in New York, I can't think of anything better than a tailored, wool cashmere dress." "Okay, okay." "I feel good." "Oh, yeah." "Yay." "See?" "I just hope they get that the simplicity can be luxe." "This is my last chance." "I'm not a cat." "I don't have nine lives." "I got that one extra life." "And this is it, my one chance to show the judges what I can do and hopefully make it to fashion week." "This is nice right here, too." "And they also have this right here." "There's just tons of beautiful fabric." "There's this up here." "Check this out up here." "Ooh." "Richard points out this leather sequined that is outstanding." "How much is this a yard?" "This is £140." "So if I was an American?" "Oh, in U.S. dollars." "I'll have to convert it." "Okay." "You know, when you go to London, and someone tells you have $1,000 to buy fabric, we're like, "whoo," but you don't realize their fabric's a lot more expensive." "You're looking at £569.90 if you want to take 4 1/2 of this fabric." "That's all my money." "There's this fabric that I really want." "I don't think I'm gonna have enough." "I'm just freaking out about it." "Oh, my God, here we are." "Okay." "Divide and conquer?" "No." "Divide and conquer?" "Let's stick together." "Unite and conquer." "We know exactly what we want to get at the fabric store." "We are looking for leather, suede, and silk." "Easy." "Oh, it's a special order." "Could you sell us those two panels?" "Oh, no." "No?" "You can't?" "Okay." "That's okay." "Oh, the twists and turns." "There is no leather." "There's no silk." "Interesting." "It is a corner, neighborhood fabric store." "No." "No." "Let's keep moving." "Um, we have to rethink everything." "No." "Yikes." "I'll be anywhere where there's organza." "I'm finally here." "I've always wanted to see the fabrics in Paris." "Okay." "Patricia is just kind of sprinting around in circles, and we really don't have a big game plan." "Uh, five meters." "Of this?" "Yes." "C'est dix." "Yeah, so it's ten eur..." "Ooh!" "Ten Euros?" "Okay." "And then this is two of that organza silk." "Organza silk." "For this one, 50?" "Oui." "Oh, God, I don't know what she just said." "So the biggest challenge of the fabric shopping is this language barrier." "I don't understand what they're saying." "Patricia, we need to return 247 Euros' worth." "So..." "I don't know how much anything costs." "Do you need this?" "No." "No." "Okay." "So, no." "Where are we at?" "154." "154." "We still need..." "no, I need that." "Okay." "No, I need this." "I need this for sure." "I need that." "No, don't." "Leave it." "I'll leave it." "No, you can't take the fabric away from me." "Only I can do this elimination." "Not you." "her ears." "Patricia, we need to return 247 Euros' worth." "If we get rid of these, where are we at?" "So that's 740." "We have a pile, you know, the size of me, and we need to narrow this down to, like, something that we can actually travel with and pay for." "All right, we've got five minutes." "Do you need all these solids?" "There's so many." "Either black or blue." "Okay." "All right." "Voila." "Voila." "Okay." "Okay." "I have my fabrics." "I'm so relieved." "Merci, merci." "No problem." "This has to be the wow factor." "It just does." "I found the perfect fabric for what I need, but I don't think" "I'm gonna be able to use it inside my capelet because of the price of it." "I'm just gonna do the dress and do the capelet in silk satin." "No room for error at all, none." "In fact, I can't even use the fabric until after my model fitting, because that's how crucial it is that the dress actually fits." "There you go." "Okay." "What is this?" "We find vinyl." "This." "I am making a jacket in vinyl, white vinyl that looks like leather." "I'm ready." "White jacket, black dress?" "Why not?" "Black and white." "And that's me." "So we end up with black for the dress and white for the jacket, which is a little bit edgier." "And it might even make more of an impact." "My gut says do this." "Okay, okay." "Hi." "Hi." "Do you have leather?" "No." "My whole design is based on leather." "What am I going to do?" "Where is that fabric you found for me?" "I need lining for the..." "Oh, my God." "Ooh!" "I am so sorry." "Of course, we have to, right on the spot, change everything we were going to do and think quick." "I don't want to scratch the jacket." "I'm going forward with the jacket." "Oh, my God, this is awesome." "Sam." "This is awesome." "And there's different sizes." "Oh, my God, I love this." "So I find these two different types of black Lace." "Oh, I like them both." "The pattern is exactly like something that I was hoping to achieve with the leather, but it's already here." "Can you start cutting for me?" "You got the material?" "Do we cut it ourselves?" "Yes." "After all that, I have to cut my own fabric." "I just..." "I would like to go look at wool first." "Oh, cashmere." "I like this color." "100 bucks a yard." "Hot dog." "If I got five yards of that, that is $500." "That is half my budgie." "I want five yards." "Really?" "Yeah, yeah." "'Cause it is really beautiful." "That is freaking gorgeous." "So, like, diarrhea brown, I love it." "It's very different." "Yeah." "It's sick." "So beautiful." "I mean, like, the feeling and the smell is like..." "Super." "This is gonna be so weird and awesome." "This challenge, it's the most amount of money I've ever spent on a garment." "I'm spending $1,000 on cashmere and leather." "It's not only incredibly exciting, but I'm also a little terrified to use these materials, because if I mess up, I don't have anything else." "Thank you, mood." "I'm actually really lucky that I got to go to London." "I know I'm going to complete a strong design for the judges." "Here's to London." "Cheers." "To London." "I'm very, very happy." "I've discovered what was lacking in my point of view." "This is the last push." "I definitely want to capture the feeling of old beauty." "Yeah." "When my garment's walking down the Runway, I want the judges' jaw dropping." "Like..." "Ah!" "Barcelona." "Oh, that's gorgeous." "Oh, my God." "It's just so beautiful." "So beautiful." "I mean, how effing lucky are we?" "In this moment, I'm feeling such success and such strength." "Oh, God." "Because this is a moment that I'm proving to myself that I am worthy of having my work as something important." "And the sacrifices I had to make to get here..." "I know." "Will be all worth it." "Oh, my God, yes." "And then I'll just be strong and I'll never doubt myself again, just because I love my work." "Dreams come true." "Oh." "Just the two of us?" "So it looks like it's just the two of us." "I'm just planning out the attack, what steps need to be done first." "Just be smart about the time, 'cause it's so important." "Time goes so quick." "You guys." "Oh, my God." "Hi." "Why do you look so rested?" "Good to see you guys." "Good to see you too." "Hey." "Hey." "Hey, you guys." "Jetsetters." "Hi." "Hey, Mr. Berlin." "Guten tag." "Gimme some sugar." "How are you?" "Oh, don't hug you." "Yeah, no hugging." "Okay, no hugging." "No problem." "I'm just gonna..." "Need some personal space." "Having to listen to the other designers in this state of cheer..." "We got to go to the eiffel tower and sketch." "They're all so happy and joyous, and they've had a wonderful experience, and they're all bonded because of it, and it hurts." "It really felt like salt in the wound." "Did you go around the city and different stores and stuff?" "No, we just went to mood." "Wow." "Even though I'm extremely exhausted and so is Amanda, we start working." "Look how that looks." "That looks amazing." "I love it." "I can see smoke coming out of her ears." "If I was in Michelle's position, I would be like, "you guys keep talking about it, but I can still take your place."" "That's what I think she needs to focus on." "Okay." "Look at that." "Mm-hmm." "I'm talking so barely." "Barely!" "It didn't take me that long to make it." "Oh, you did layers upon layers." "You mixed them all." "You are one fly bitch." "Thank you." "I'm creating this textile of layering and layering and layering of silk organza, silk chiffon, so it's, like, installation graffiti." "That doesn't pull away from this, though, right?" "No, it's gonna get sewn." "Oh, okay." "Patricia is an amazing textile person, but she started getting, like, really crafty, and it doesn't work." "It doesn't look like a design that could be worn." "I'm gonna sew it now." "Okeydokey, dokey." "How's it going, boo-boo?" "Who, me?" "Yeah." "Gorge." "Thanks." "Yeah." "Everyone needs a reversible, quilted, laminated, [bleep] Chest plate." "Avant-turd." "That's what I call it." "They are not staying flat." "You gotta press them first." "I tried that." "Let me do it." "You sit down." "I will try." "You go sit down." "I don't have patience." "This is gonna be a long process." "Do you need help?" "I need more than that." "A prayer." "I think I've found my calling in bondage lobster-eating gear." "There were times where I was in a really dark place, but as I work, that frustration is getting out." "And as I'm creating, it's lifting my spirits." "It's lifting my energy." "You think of stuff I just don't think of." "It's really pulling me out of the funk." "I'm making a pair of boots to go with this." "They are going to look hot." "I think they look like hooker boots, like the plastic hooker boots that you would buy when you're dressing up like a hooker for Halloween." "Hello, designers." "Hello." "Hi, Tim." "How is everybody?" "Good." "It's your last challenge, and I'm eager to see what you're doing." "Hi, Daniel." "How are you?" "Hi, Amanda." "Hello." "How are the two of you?" "Great." "Have you recovered from your whirlwind trip?" "No, we've been going since..." "Well, you haven't had time to get jet lag." "So what was your impression of the city, in general?" "Wow." "I was just so overwhelmed." "These are photographs that you took?" "Yes." "And what's this building?" "This is one that caught my eye instantly and my total inspiration, too, also." "So tell me what you're doing." "What are you creating?" "The inspiration of this came to terms with this crazy, cool jacket, which I love." "This is a jacket." "And it does have a long sleeve, fitted." "What is this?" "It's actually man-made pleather." "I don't really like what Daniel's making." "I think it looks very cheap." "And it's very difficult to make a white pleather jacket look expensive." "So how are you feeling about the whole look?" "This is new for me." "This is different." "And it's a rounded shoulder, asymmetrical zipper." "Mm-hmm." "It has more attitude, more sex appeal." "You have a lot of work to do." "Okay." "A lot of work." "Okay." "All right, carry on." "Thank you." "Gentlemen, how was London?" "Amazing." "London was fabulous." "It was so much fun and so inspiring." "I think the best part was, um, going over to the abbey and to the parliament building." "What did this experience inspire you to create?" "Well, looking at all the structures, I came up with this design, very simple." "Tried to create something that's kind of modest, but still have a new kick to it." "You said modest?" "Modest." "This is very modest." "Okay." "So this is a separate piece." "And this is, like, a little capelet, yeah." "I just wanted to do something that kind of covered her up." "But once you take it off, she would have this, you know, beautiful back." "I mean, with the cape, from the front, she looks very monastic." "Mm-hmm." "So there is an element of surprise..." "Mm-hmm, yeah." "When it's removed." "And this is actually gonna go inside the lining of the skirt." "Good heavens." "On silk chiffon." "Give it just a little bit more fluff." "I'm feeling good about it." "Good." "Okay." "Carry on, Stanley." "We're doing our work." "All right." "Thank you, Tim." "Patricia, Kate, how are you?" "Hi, Tim." "We're fine, we're fabulous." "Paris, what was it like?" "It was an amazing experience." "It was incredible." "We saw a lot of installation graffiti, so I was inspired to create a textile that had all of that layering." "How have you created this?" "It's layers upon layers upon layers." "Here's the bag, Tim." "Good heavens." "So I've basically, like, painted with textiles." "All of these." "Patricia, it's quite remarkable." "Thank you." "I'm designing three pieces, a take on an overall with a blouse underneath, and then a jacket." "All right." "Let's talk about this." "What's the relationship between this and the jacket?" "It's gonna be the leather." "There's gonna be a leather strip on here and on the sides." "But they seem like they're from two completely different places." "The vibe seems so different." "Is it too different?" "I mean, it seems different to me." "I don't get it." "I know." "I'm very worried." "But you're not getting it either." "I mean, it's really all about this." "That's your star player." "Can you rename it, so it's not a jacket?" "It's just a top?" "And you don't have to worry about any of this." "Oh, okay." "You know, it's the top." "That would be so much simpler, too." "Well, and it makes more sense." "It's the top." "Right." "I agree." "Based on Tim's critique, the focus should be on this beautiful top." "I don't mind changing that up a bit at all." "How are you, Michelle?" "Good." "Good." "Hi, Tu." "I'm so eager to hear what you're doing." "What is this piece?" "This is a... for lack of a nicer-sounding term... a bib." "Or a breastplate." "A breastplate, a piece of armor." "Can I see the back?" "Yes." "Oh, this is stunning." "Thank you." "And then the other idea, because this is my favorite thing I saw while we were traveling around New York..." "Oh, let me see your photographs." "Leftover soot from the coal-burning fire furnaces on the sides of buildings, brick buildings." "You see a lot of it." "Yeah." "I had an idea of doing that, kind of really thick on the bottom and building its way up." "I love the idea of the ombre." "How would you actually execute it?" "Smudging it in, like you were shading a charcoal drawing." "Is this actually charcoal?" "No, it's actually a fabric paint." "Oh, it's a fabric paint." "So it doesn't come off." "Why not?" "I'm on the side of encouraging." "Okay." "Tim is also like, "push it." "Paint it." "You have the idea to do it." "Do it." "It's your last moment to wow the judges."" "I think it's a fabulous, really beautiful, sophisticated look." "Do it." "Okay." "Soot it up." "Sooting it up." "All right." "Thanks, Michelle." "Thank you." "Hi, Layana." "Hi, Samantha." "Hello, Tim." "So what was the best part of" "Barcelona?" "It was really hard to decide." "We were just mesmerized by everything we were looking at." "What did you take photographs of?" "It's so gorgeous, Tim." "Everything you look at, it's like..." "Detail, detail." "The details." "And I just love this." "Details everywhere." "I knew we have to create, like, a pattern that translates this beauty that we can see." "It's beautiful." "So what are you making?" "Okay, so I'm making a jacket, a pair of pants, and a blouse." "But it's more of a coat." "Yeah, it is a coat." "I'm sorry, I said jacket." "Sorry, yeah." "And is this the shape we're going to see here?" "So it's a "V"." "Mm-hmm." "Okay." "Not unlike the shape of the top underneath." "Well, you're not really gonna see the top underneath." "So she's gonna keep the coat closed?" "She will." "I want the coat closed." "And then for this, it's long-sleeved." "And then I just want it coming out a little bit for the pop of color." "Can I say something, though?" "Mm-hmm." "This is so much work." "Yes, it is." "Do you have time to do this and this elaborate blouse?" "Well, I have Samantha." "But I'm considering our timeframe." "I feel great about what I'm creating." "And they haven't seen anything that's tailored from me." "I want them to be surprised and mesmerized." "I'm working on this coat." "I just know how much work you still have remaining, and it's a lot." "It's considerable." "Yeah." "So you have to do all of this?" "Yes." "Okay." "I have to." "So you're not concerned about time?" "All right, you have a lot of work to do." "Carry on." "I will." "Okay." "Thanks, Tim." "Thank you." "Designers, you have until 11:00 tonight." "Your models will be in for a fitting in about an hour." "All right, I will see you in the morning." "And have a great night, okay?" "Thank you, Tim." "What are you making?" "These sleeves." "Ooh." "Really?" "I was really reticent to paint this beautiful coating cashmere, 'cause it's almost like defacing it." "But after Tim saying that you have to push it, I'm just gonna do it." "What, did you dye it?" "Yeah, I love it." "It's still wet." "Be careful." "It's bitchin'." "Michelle decides to paint the bottom of her skirt, which I don't necessarily agree with." "I just think it just dirties up that fabric." "This worked well." "Even that's really pretty." "Yeah." "Mm-hmm." "There are the girls." "Hey, you." "This is my do-or-die, make it or break it moment." "I'm taking it in half an inch." "Perfect." "Love the way this looks." "Daniel really had an epiphany in Berlin." "Ooh-wee." "And I'm really excited to see if this shift continues, 'cause I think it could get really good." "It's falling beautiful." "Stanley's final look is absolutely amazing." "You could see our trip encompassed in this garment." "It looks beautiful." "You did such a great job." "Samantha is pretty good." "She's on top of her game, but the jacket's not even put together." "Everything is separate pieces, and I'm still pinning the bias tape to create the tile effect." "I'm going to have to be working on this jacket until the last minute." "I'll see you tomorrow." "Oh!" "We got this." "We totally do." "Mwah!" "Thank you." "Bye-bye." "Mwah!" "That rocked." "Um, Layana, you got work to do." "Sam, yes." "I'm getting worried." "What you need to do is actually put the jacket together." "No, I cannot." "I cannot put the jacket together before I finish this." "This coat is taking so much time, much longer than I expected." "Okay, time." "It's time to go, folks." "Time is going by so fast." "I am very worried." "All righty, guys." "Ooh, what a beautiful mess." "Cool." "These look awesome." "Good morning, Tim." "Good morning, designers." "How is everyone?" "Fabulous, thank you." "Good." "It's your last challenge." "I know." "We're gonna have a fabulous show." "Yes." "We are." "All right?" "Absolutely." "You have two hours until we go down to the Runway." "You will have an hour to send your models to the L'Oreal Paris hair and makeup rooms." "Use the Lord  Taylor wall very thoughtfully, okay?" "All right, I'll check back in with you later." "Thank you." "Thank you." "This morning, I'm feeling good when I start sewing the pieces together." "I know it's a little rushed, but I'm gonna be able to finish." "How are you?" "I'm actually doing pretty good." "The judges are gonna love it and see how much work I put into it." "I think I'm doing everything that I should be doing to make it to fashion week." "I want to win it." "I really do." "So I'm bringing my "a" game." "Let's see if these work." "I think they are." "I made a pair of boots." "They are going to look hot." "I have a good chance to go to fashion week, which I really want to do." "I know I can do this." "Oh, my God." "Yay." "Oh, my God, I'm so sick." "I'm gonna throw up." "They're gonna flip it around and say, "we don't like the way it's finished."" "Stop talking like that, okay?" "I think Patricia's saving grace is her uniqueness." "No one has ever seen this textile before." "If she can survive this last challenge, she can blow the judges away at fashion week." "They're gonna love it, and that's that." "In Paris, I saw a lot of, like, smoky eye filling." "So that way, her eyes being the kind of... the strength is in the eyes." "Mm-hmm." "We want her to look expensive and very clean." "I would do a shimmery, golden gloss around the eye." "Yeah, perfect." "I've always loved when the makeup is simple." "But I want to take it to that little edge." "We're gonna do the liquid liner." "It's just a really strong, triangle-wide clear." "I love it." "Can you split it down the middle?" "Uh-huh." "And tuck it behind the ears and flat iron it?" "Nice, shiny, glossy hair." "Yeah, yeah." "We're gonna use the everstyle smooth  shine creme and a nice glossy smooth finish." "Thank you." "I was thinking maybe just down, like, sleek." "What do you think?" "You're better to go up." "I want it up." "Do it up, but it should have a New York edge to it." "Yeah." "Take this into more of a mohawk feeling." "Got it." "So we'll use the everstyle root lifting spray to get a lot of volume." "That's what I want." "Girl, I am sweating right now." "Really?" "My, like, nerves are through the roof." "Why?" "I'm nervous about this." "I really want to go to fashion week." "I'm looking at her, and I am just elated." "I love it." "She looks amazing." "Oh, I like that." "Yeah." "I feel really lucky that I'm still here, that I get to make one last garment." "And I so can see myself at fashion week." "And I want to be there so bad." "Designers, in ten minutes, we are going to the Runway, you and your models and I, all right?" "Thank you." "Oh, my gosh." "You look like a bad bee-yatch." "Showing at fashion week, it's something that every designer is waiting for." "Being able to do that would just open so many doors for me in my career." "It's definitely what I've been waiting for..." "For 20 years." "Oh, my God, Marina, this turned out awesome." "You want to get this part down here, and I'll pin the cape on her?" "Okay, that's good." "This challenge will determine who will go to fashion week." "I want to finish this journey on top, so it's gonna happen." "Designers, say good-bye to your sewing assistants." "You and your models and I are going down to the Runway." "Right now, all right?" "Designers." "Okay, let's go, come on." "Models." "Daniel." "Yes." "Come on." "Come on." "Layana." "Bye." "Good luck." "We love all of you." "Thank you." "Hi, everybody." "Hey." "Hello." "Welcome to the Runway." "As you know, in fashion, one day you're in, and the next day, you're out." "This is a very important fashion show." "Tonight, we will decide who will compete at Mercedes-Benz fashion week..." "Oh, my God." "And who will be out." "Michelle, this challenge was a do-or-die moment." "We almost eliminated you last challenge, but we gave you one more shot, because we believe in you." "For this challenge, we sent you all to fashion capitals of the world." "Four of you went to European adventures to find your inspiration and buy your fabric." "And, Michelle, you found your inspiration right here in New York city." "Mm-hmm." "How was the trip?" "Oh, my God." "Was it amazing?" "Yes." "Really?" "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes." "Exciting." "I have to say, this was an amazing opportunity." "And our expectations, they are high." "Okay, let's meet the judges." "First, we have acclaimed" "American designer Zac Posen." "Hi." "Hi, Zac." "Fashion director for" "Marie Claire magazine, Nina Garcia." "Hi, everyone." "Hi, Nina." "And our guest judge for today, stylish singer/songwriter and nine-time grammy winner, John Legend." "Hello." "Hi." "We will score your designs as they come down the Runway." "Some of you will go to New York fashion week, and one of you will be out." "Okay, let's start the show." "It speaks Barcelona, and it speaks my experience there." "I think the judges are gonna love it and see how much work I put into it." "It just looks amazing." "I really, really love it." "I feel so confident." "I really think I'm going to fashion week." "The dress is swinging." "It looks so light and lively." "It's beautiful." "The shine, you can actually see the detail of the quilting, which is something I didn't think you would see." "The ombre, you do not see it nearly as well as you did in the workroom." "And that's a little worrisome, because it's starting to look muddy, and that's not really my intention." "Ooh, way to swirl in it." "Ooh, Lisa, I love you." "The way she's walking and just giving so much drama down the Runway, it's beyond beautiful." "It's... it's breathtaking." "It captures my inspiration." "It captures the look and feel of London that I want to portray." "I'm just so happy and proud just because it says "Stanley."" "It looks like me." "It evokes my design aesthetic, everything about it." "I am seeing the layers that I saw on the street." "I am seeing that the collar is different." "The yoke is different." "The sleeve is different." "Nobody else has done a sleeve and a collar like that." "I hope that they see that I really did push textile and construction to a different level." "That looks amazing, right?" "Especially with that, like, sleeve." "I embraced that fabric store in Berlin and used what they had, even though it was a man-made pleather." "We constructed it and did all of these slashing techniques and topstitching everything." "It is exciting to me." "It looks cool." "It felt different." "It felt new to me." "And I think it looked amazing." "Oh, yes." "Designers, tonight we will decide which of you will compete at Mercedes-Benz fashion week and who will be out." "Tonight, we will decide which of you will compete at Mercedes-Benz fashion week and who will be out." "All right, let's bring out your models." "All right, I want to start with" "Daniel." "Daniel, tell us about your trip, your inspiration, and your look." "Berlin turned the volume up for me on attitude and sex appeal." "And actually, the architecture had a big impact on me." "So I was inspired by this building by the marketplace." "And actually, this is pleather." "And the piecework in this reminds me of the building that we saw that had all the angles." "I think you captured very well the beat of Berlin." "I mean, it has that underground movement." "It is very edgy." "I love this jacket." "I like very much what you did with the boots." "Did you make that?" "Yes, ma'am." "That's a wedge." "And I made the stocking and then molded it to her leg." "That pulls that whole look together, and it turns it into a showpiece." "Uh, could I see the dress?" "Because the dress is really very beautifully draped, too." "I cut it on the bias." "I was fortunate enough to let it drape." "Phenomenal." "Really good work, Daniel." "Thank you." "Actually, I think the least exciting thing to me about it was the white pleather." "But I love the dress underneath." "I love the boots." "I definitely see Berlin." "I've been there many times." "And whenever I think of Berlin, I think of creativity when it comes to architecture." "And I see that when I look at this design." "I think you are very brave for working in white pleather." "There's some humor to that." "But you know, sometimes, there is something sort of weird and often futuristic in there that that works." "And I think you pulled it off." "And I think the whole look looks terrific." "You should be very proud." "Yes." "Daniel, I like this look too." "You know, this looks like a young, modern, hip girl." "I see also the inspiration of Berlin, because Berlin is very much about architecture." "It's quite hard and strong." "I'm also very happy to see something modern from you, because you are designing a little bit older sometimes." "You know, we kind of criticized you on that a few times." "So I'm very happy for you." "Thank you, Heidi." "Stanley." "When I got the card saying I was going to London, I knew I wanted to play with fantasy." "For some reason, I just kept going dark." "We got to sketch at the abbey and the parliament building." "It's from the Georgian era, and I wanted to design something that the ladies wore at that time and just kind of modernize it, so I came up with just a long column with a cape." "When you take it off, it just has this sexiness to it." "These are leather sequins that I chose to line the inside with." "And this is it." "I absolutely love this." "I love the capelet." "It came down the Runway, and it was dramatic." "But what I love the most was that glimpse of luxury with the paillettes on the inside." "Really well done." "Thank you." "I think you really turned up the volume by being very simple in a way, which is kind of hard to do, right?" "Sometimes you have to do it with a lot of bright colors or crazy prints." "But the silhouette is actually quite simple." "But it's very, very strong and simple." "With this veil, the makeup, you gave her the really thick, heavy eyeliner so she looks very strong and powerful." "I loved it, too." "Bravo." "Thank you." "You captured an elegance from the front and then a surprise from the back." "I think the mystery of London." "You know, I think Sherlock Holmes with the cape." "I'm very impressed." "Thank you." "I think the shape just looks so gorgeous on her." "It's so elegant and sleek." "It just feels right." "I think you two, like, look like a perfect couple too." "You, like, accessorize each other well." "It's true." "Yeah." "And I do have to say, it is so nice to see you smile." "You know, I've noticed you guys laugh more, and you're always very, very..." "Yeah, I'm very serious." "Very serious." "Yes, very focused." "Sometimes, I'm like, "does he have fun here with us?"" "It's nice when you come out of your shell." "Thank you." "Layana, tell us about your look." "Well, my trip was to" "Barcelona." "I was so inspired by the old feeling, the architecture." "'Cause a lot of, like, the houses and the buildings have this, like, tile work and intricate patterns they're painting on, and that's what I came up with." "Well, I think that you made some smart choices in the materials." "When I think of Barcelona, and I think of Spain, I think of tiles, I think of Lace." "It looks nicely made." "For me, the sleeve was a big eyesore." "Those sleeves." "Why?" "Why?" "This outfit looks so old-fashioned." "And old-fashioned coming from a very young designer is kind of tragic." "Barcelona is a city full of color, full of incredibly passionate heritage." "I'm not getting that from this coat." "I also think your hair and makeup didn't help you." "I mean, this is so not like you that I'm kind of shocked." "The neckline, what you did up here, is actually quite interesting." "I mean, there is something here that could've been actually really good." "But she has no sex appeal, your model, today." "She looks like an older lady from Barcelona that's wearing a housecoat, you know, completely covered up." "I didn't like it." "I would wear it." "I like it." "I like what you're wearing." "I like what you're wearing too." "In what you're wearing, you look like Barcelona." "You look very Spanish too." "Ole." "She looks like your mom." "When someone has gone through all this effort and gone to Barcelona to design this beautiful piece, the woman should feel hot." "And I just don't feel like most women would feel hot wearing this." "Not that everything has to be hot and sexy, but you do want to look hip and young." "You don't want to look older." "Can we have a look at what is under the jacket?" "Much nicer." "There is something romantic and feminine and engaging from that blouse, 1,000 times more than this coat." "And the sleeves are actually very beautiful, had you cut them shorter." "I think, keep to your romantic roots." "You know, you have such a nice balance in the work we've seen between edge and femininity." "And here, it just feels like it all got buttoned up." "Sorry." "Does that make sense to you, what we've been telling you or..." "It does." "But I really like the jacket." "Sorry." "Patricia, tell us about your look." "As soon as we were out into the city of Paris, I started to see graffiti." "And it was like art installation graffiti by the way they would draw something really quick and then they post it on the walls with other graffiti." "So I wanted to create a textile that was very much like the graffiti." "It's like painting with fabric." "And then I created the pants with a hint of the leather to accentuate what's going on up here." "Well, I wrote on my notes, I wrote "trash couture."" "Oh." "You know, I really appreciate your textile development." "I'm really interested in this idea of decoupage graffiti." "Right." "I like the idea of painting with fabric." "Right." "I don't really see it in front of me." "It sort of looks a little messy, a little bit collapsed and lumpy and dumpy." "Okay." "Patricia, you went to probably one of the most inspiring cities in the world." "Right." "I'm a little underwhelmed with this." "It looks so odd." "It feels almost like cotton candy gone wrong or a collage that you put together with papier mache." "I don't think there is a vibe of the city at all." "Okay." "It's funny, because I'm on this esteemed panel with all these great fashion minds here, and I was worried maybe I wasn't hip enough to get it." "It just doesn't work for me." "The shape or actually, the lack thereof." "And then, the slacks just seem very blah." "There's no real character to them." "You also have to watch your pant hem length." "I'm sorry." "I didn't see that until now." "But I know." "I see it." "To me, this top is special." "It has some great, unusual shape to it, and I like it." "Thank you." "I agree with the bottom." "She needs something more interesting to go with such an unusual top." "But could've, should've, would've." "It's not about that." "No, I like it, though." "I think there need to be designers out there that create things that we haven't seen before." "And to me, this is an unusual, special top." "I mean, I do try to push, you know, my textiles into something that was more fitted." "Listen, it's great." "Risk is important." "I'm always happier to see somebody take risk than settle in the chic banal or something that is comfortable for us." "All right." "Thank you." "Michelle." "Well, going around New York city, I think what I clicked onto the most was the old buildings sandwiched in between the glass of something that was newly-built." "Um, having a $1,000 budget, I was like, "I'm gonna go for it," and I bought $500 worth of cashmere wool and then some patent leather." "And then this chest plate is reversible." "Shine, new, soft, old, with a little ombre effect in paint." "To me, this is a comeback." "Thanks, Nina." "You captured the city spirit." "I love what you did with the patent leather." "I am thrilled that you turned this around." "I love it." "Oh, yay." "I really love the cashmere and the way it walked." "And I think with the breastplate being so shiny and really different, I think the combination of the two was very unexpected, but the risk paid off." "Awesome." "I do like the silhouette." "I'm not in love with the fabric." "Okay." "I understand you were trying to make an effect." "But the fabric of the skirt looks more like a dirty horse blankie." "I do see New York in there, though." "I do, because New York is dirty." "So I would not buy that skirt, because I would be afraid that people would think, "that Heidi" "Klum, she is dirty." "She's been dragging that skirt all through the mud." What does it look like with the harness off of it, the dress?" "I can see that you pushed yourself." "You wanted to go more luxe and away from sportswear-weight fabrics that are your comfort zone." "The dust on the bottom, that's a very brave move." "I see your New York." "It has a New York quality to it." "Can I see the..." "the reverse side." "The reverse." "Hmm." "Did you do the quilting?" "I did." "That's a lot of work, doing that harness, right?" "Will you put it back on?" "Yeah." "Thank you, Michelle." "Models, you guys can leave the" "Runway." "Thank you." "Stanley." "Yes." "Why should you go to fashion week, and what other two designers should go with you?" "I think I've evolved." "I mean, you guys have pushed me." "You've given me so much insight into who I am as a designer." "And the last few Runway shows are just an example of what I have to offer." "Daniel has a very strong message." "I like how he's evolved as a designer as well, just from" "Germany, and just how he turned it around and became this completely different person from a boy from Texas, so I was proud of him." "And I also like Michelle's aesthetic." "It's kind of punk rock and it's kind of chic." "But it's all Michelle, and she stands behind it, and I like her convictions." "Patricia." "I feel that I should go to fashion week because I would have more time to really be able to work my textiles and to do a different look that has not ever been done before." "And as far as people that I'd like to see at fashion week, Michelle and Stan, because I've always enjoyed their silhouettes." "Yeah, that's who I think." "Layana." "I don't have the experience that the others do, but I feel like I know who I am as a designer." "And I would pick Michelle, because I also feel like she's very strong about her point of view." "And I am so interested by what Patricia does, but I do feel like, as a designer, Stanley's stronger, so I would pick" "Michelle and Stanley." "Thank you." "Daniel." "Just the experience of going to Berlin just opened this door for me, so I know I can make a beautiful collection inspired from this." "As for who I would take with me, it would be Stanley, 'cause he just totally rocks it out, which is doing the simplest things but with a twist to it." "And Michelle 'cause her point of view is forward." "She's willing to take that risk." "So I think it would be a cool combination." "Michelle, why should you go to fashion week, and what two designers would you take with you?" "I think the world is ready to see a little bit of this take that I do of really clean, modern sportswear with kind of a dirty edge and what I can do in more than ten hours." "And the designers that I would love to see a Runway show from, definitely Stanley." "From day one, clean and smoking, lots of vintage inspiration but real modern twists." "And Layana, I want her to bring that feminine sexy out, because my sexy's not quite like that." "So I would love to see how she pushes it." "Okay, we've heard what you had to say." "We're gonna have a long chat, and then I'll being you back out." "You can leave the Runway." "Ooh-whee." "It's done." "I hope we all can go to fashion week." "That's what I want to say." "If not this time, another time." "That's all I know." "'Cause I'm not gonna stop here, that's for sure." "You don't know until..." "Yeah." "Deliberating and..." "My confidence is low that I'm gonna move on to fashion week because of the comments that came from the judges." "I thought, looking at the Runway today, I was like, "wow." "There are no losers up there." I'm proud of myself." "Good." "You should be." "I really am." "It's been a really dark ride for me." "And I'm so glad that I got accomplished today what I did." "And I think that as long as we have our craft, as long as we have our inspiration, we can get ourselves out of dark places and get to where there's light." "It makes me a little sad that my background is evening, but I wanted to show something else." "And I worked so hard on that damn jacket." "And they hate it." "They did not hate it." "I don't like to argue with them." "I feel like my clothes should speak for themselves." "Yes." "I totally got it." "I like it." "That's "a," the most important thing ever." "Absolutely." "We have some very big decisions to make today." "Let's start with Stanley." "We all agreed we all loved his look." "I love that he added an element of a cape." "He captured a lot of parts of London." "He created something great for a fashion show." "I think Stanley has the most experience coming into this competition." "You feel the confidence exuding off of him, and you see it in the work." "He's polished." "He gets simplicity." "He's poised." "He obviously is using historical references, but what we see in front of us doesn't feel dated." "I'm a big fan." "I'm a fan of his too." "I mean, the girl always looks very well put together." "Stanley, I find so focused, so refined in his taste." "Apparently, all of his colleagues do as well." "Yeah." "It's true, yeah." "Everyone was saying his name." "And that's really cool." "That means he worked his tushy off the whole competition." "And when you prove to your peers that you're a winner, that's everything." "Let's talk about Michelle." "I loved Michelle's." "I did too." "I liked the pockets." "Her garment looked very nicely made." "It was so striking when she walked out." "Michelle completely surprised me today." "She pushed herself to show us another outlook, something that wasn't so street casual." "And I think that's really admirable." "There's something about Michelle." "She's very scrappy but tough." "She's a fighter." "She is a fighter." "She has great recovery." "In this challenge, she came right back on top, when she was really at the bottom." "We almost kicked her off last week." "Tenacity will get you far in a lot of places." "Yes." "In my business as well." "Especially when you're being judged everywhere you go." "And if she has that in her, then that'll take her a long way." "I mean, she would work very, very hard to not let us down at New York fashion week." "I agree." "Okay, so let's talk about" "Daniel." "Are any of us nervous about" "Daniel's taste?" "Yes." "Because he can be really good." "Or sometimes, he can be a little old fart-y." "For not having gone to Europe ever, he didn't let that overwhelm him." "And he picked up on that Berlin underground." "Totally." "Like, I just felt Berlin when she walked out." "It just looked exactly like" "I think of Berlin." "Even Marina, the model, looked German." "Yeah, I was gonna say, she's probably German." "She looks German now." "He styled her correctly." "He used those, you know, leather boots to make it more of a showpiece." "I think having something weird, like white pleather, does remind me of the style choices I see in Berlin that sort of are a little bit bizarre and '90s referential." "Right." "Aesthetically, I wasn't in love with the jacket." "But it made perfect sense for the challenge." "There's girls that would buy that, wear that exactly the way he showed it." "I liked it." "I could see that dress on you." "I would like to wear it." "Moving on to Layana." "I have to say Layana really surprised me today." "Layana has the most commercial taste of all of them, so when she has to do something that is a little more high fashion, she's going to struggle, because that's not her strength." "Her strength is really in very commercial pieces, which there's nothing wrong with that." "It's true." "If I think about the avant-garde look, which is also supposed to be very high fashion, she really failed there, too." "Yeah, but I think it would be interesting to see something from her at New York fashion week, because she offers something that is very commercial, that women might be very interested in wearing." "In the Marie Claire challenge, she really pushed herself." "And it was very nice." "I don't know." "I'm basing it off of what I saw today, and it's hard for me to see the taste level that would make me think she's one of the top people." "And she did not understand what we saw, because even though we said, "do you see where we're coming from, what we're saying?"" "She's like, "no, I like it." "I think it looks great."" "I liked the blouse." "So that's troubling." "I liked the blouse, too, on its own." "I thought the blouse had promise." "But when I see that, it does make me question, if she's going to build a whole collection, what her editing process is going to be." "Yeah." "Patricia, let's talk about her." "Yes, she's out there." "And a lot of times, she has done some pieces where we had big question marks over our heads." "But she does really do things that I have never seen before." "So I am, every time, intrigued, because you never know what she might show up with." "And I like that." "I think Patricia is a great textile designer." "But I don't think Patricia is ready to put on a show." "She needs time to grow and..." "Time to grow?" "When she's 80?" "When?" "When?" "I mean, she's not 16." "This is her chance right now." "And she might actually blow us all away." "Would you wear that jacket?" "Yes." "Make it work." "I could wear Patricia's outfit on the cover of" "Marie Claire magazine." "I don't think so." "It's unshootable." "It's unwearable." "You wouldn't be able to make it work, and you're a supermodel." "You see these amazing things, they look like beautiful pieces of art." "And maybe you wouldn't consider wearing them just because, like, who dresses like that all the time?" "Right." "But they still have to look beautiful, you know." "And that was my concern with that jacket." "Like, it was interesting, but it wasn't beautiful." "See to me, for some reason, I saw the beauty in it." "I did." "To me, she's done so many things that were always unexpected." "Like, she does just odd things." "And I'm like, "wow, she really pushes it."" "She's bringing cool references." "She did not surprise me at the Marie Claire challenge." "It was bad." "She did not impress me in the art challenge, where I thought she was going to flourish." "I loved that." "I understand the fascination with her, but I think that this artsy fartsy thing is... come on, guys." "Fashion is not art." "It kind of is, some of it." "If it's not basic, it is." "Fashion is not art." "Stores are not museums." "You go to stores to buy clothes." "You don't go to stores to look at clothes." "Listen, there is a place in fashion for over-the-top, for extreme, for maybe unwearable, and I think it's so important, because otherwise, we will just have the chic banal." "I do also have to say, I mean, I would be so worried, too, chewing my nails off, when the Runway show starts, and Patricia's clothes would come out, that it would be completely crazy." "It's possible." "You have to take those risks." "But it's a risk." "She is a risk." "Listen, your first show is the hardest ever." "It could be amazing." "It could be she goes away for a few months... it could be arts and craft horror, okay?" "It could be." "I agree with you." "I'm willing to take that risk." "Okay, this was a really tough decision." "But we've made our decision." "Okay, let's bring them back out." "Designers, congratulations for making it this far." "Its quite an accomplishment." "Unfortunately, not all of you will make it to New York fashion week." "One of you will be out." "Designers, unfortunately, not all of you will make it to" "New York fashion week." "One of you will be out." "Stanley." "Yes." "Congratulations." "Yes." "You are coming back to New York city." "Yes." "Thank you." "You're in." "You can leave the Runway." "I'm so proud of myself." "Regardless of what anybody says or how serious I was, no one can take away from me that I focus and I played my game well." "So I'm proud of myself." "Daniel." "You will be designing a collection, and you will be coming back to New York." "Thank you." "Congratulations." "You're in." "You can leave the Runway." "I used to feel that I was born too early and started too late, but it's never too late to pursue what's inside of me, and I think it shows on this last challenge that I got it." "Yes." "I'm so happy." "Yeah, me, too." "Oh, my God, Stanley." "Michelle, we're glad that we gave you a second chance, because you really turned it around." "Thank you." "You too will design a collection and return back to" "New York." "Thank you." "You're in." "You can leave the Runway." "Thank you." "Aah!" "I made it." "I made it." "And now, the next step is to heal and regroup and rejuvenate and get that inspiration to move forward." "And I can't wait." "I can't wait." "Yes?" "Patricia, Layana, unfortunately, it's the end of the line for one of you." "And this was a very tough decision." "Layana, we were not impressed with your look today, and it looked a little bit like a housecoat." "We also feel like you didn't show us the spirit of Barcelona." "It wasn't your best." "Patricia, I liked your look, but the other judges had major issues with it." "They felt your top was sloppy, unflattering, and relied too much on textiles versus design." "Layana..." "I'm sorry, you're out." "Patricia, you're in, and we're gonna see you back here in New York city." "I wish you good luck." "I won't disappoint you." "I promise I won't." "You can leave the Runway." "Thank you so much." "For me to show at fashion week now is like such a dream come true that I can really give something new in the eyes of a native that will show the strength of who we are as people." "To have that opportunity, thank you." "Bottom of my heart, thank you." "I made it in." "Whoa." "Why are you crying?" "You deserve to be there." "Wow." "Holy cow." "See?" "Wow." "Layana, we feel that you are a great designer, and I'm sure that we're gonna hear more from you in the future." "I wish you the best of luck." "Thanks." "Auf Wiedersehen." "Thank you." "Thank you, thank you." "I feel very disappointed that this little dream I had didn't come true." "But I really like my jacket." "So at least I get sent home for something that I'm not ashamed of." "I so love your work." "You're so young and brilliant." "This is just a scratch on the earth of what you're gonna be doing." "Thank you, guys." "I was the one here that had the least amount of experience, and I made it so far." "I just have to be strong and believe that I know who I am as a designer, and nobody can take that away from me." "Hey." "Hey." "Listen, I'm gonna strike a positive note here." "Final five." "How fabulous is this?" "Congratulations." "Really, Layana, you should be so proud you made it this far." "I am." "And I have to send you to the workroom to clean up your space." "Bye, guys." "Bye-bye." "I love you." "I love you." "Bye, Stan." "Very, very proud of you." "Thank you." "Bye, Layana." "Bye." "The hardest thing about going home now is having to tell my mom that I didn't make it." "I really wanted this for her." "But I know that she's gonna be so proud of me." "Next time on" "Project Runway..." "I'm giving you each $10,000 to create a 12-look collection." "It just brings your whole" " collection..." " Down." "I'm, like, 1/10 of the way done." "I'm overwhelmed by this visit today." "You've really given me a kind of epiphany about you." "There's tension in his face." "What's up?" "And he's maybe not that excited to see me." "Isn't this pretty?" "His garments aren't even close to being finished." "This look is phenomenal." "That is awesome." "I think you have to decide who you are." "It's all over the place." "I'm underwhelmed."
