"I feel like she embodied what I needed." "I could tell she really liked it." "And I think those things are all key in making your challenge turn into a win."

"Once it finally really hits the runway, I actually think that it looks pretty good." "However, I do think that I might have to defend myself in terms of aesthetic as I feel like" "I have the garment that stands out the most." "whenI sawmy model,Ifeel  more comfortable because onstage, it looks like prettier than on my working table." "It's sexy, but it's not vulgar."

"Ithoughtshelookedvery  sophisticated." "I also love your styling." "It was just perfectly done." "Congratulations." "Iagree." "I thought it was simply elegant when you came out."

"youwon." "Iwon." "And it feels really good." "I also feel a little weird because I have a sinking suspicion that there are a lot of people going home tonight."

"I'ma reallynervouswreck now 'cause I'm thinking like," ""oh, my God, like, you know, there's a chance that I may not even make it on the show."" "noneofyoushouldfeel safe ." "therestof yourepresent the bottom six." "Since this is the last phase of your audition process, we're going to talk to and hear from all of you." "Ivy." "Tell us about your look." "thegarmentthatIstarted with was Peaches' pant." "I guess my design aesthetic is a little more minimalistic, where it's more attention to detail." "Like on the side of the pant here, I have the pleating detail and the embellishment on the blouse." "well,nooffensetoPeach, but I don't know why she packed those." "But you didn't transform." "well,thechallengewasn'tto transform." "It was to implicate into our design, so-- well,youjustshowedher pants and ruched them up the side." "And I look at the blouse, which to me kind of looks like it went through a paper shredder." "It really tells no story." "And then the hoop earring on top of it, I mean-- really?" "Oh, I like the earring." "she'sgotalot of personalities going on in one outfit." "It's very confusing to me." "youtookthepantandmadeit into a Capri, basically." "sorrytointerruptor interject, but I don't know." "I guess I just have to disagree 'cause I just feel like there's a lot of detail to it." "forgetwhatyoudid tothe pant or not." "The blouse looks mumsy." "It's an odd length." "Then to top that off, the styling is a disaster." "I,too,hadthe samethought." "When it came out, I was like," ""wow, she made pants out of pants." "How interesting." "Not."" "Imean,it 'ssuchan unfortunate pant to begin with." "All in all, it looks very, yeah, kind of small town hick outfit night at the bar." "Imean,Istandbymy design." "I think it's beautiful." "So I'm sorry that it's not your favorite." "Jason." "Tell us about your look." "soI gotthiskimono, beautiful kimono from Andy." "When my model came in, the size didn't really, it wasn't really fitting her so, you know, I kind of adjusted the fit." "And every time she came out, it just kept sinking and sinking." "And there's really nothing you guys can say that I won't agree with." "Jason,Jason,Jason." "This, to me, looks exactly like my hairdressing cape I was wearing when I had my haircut." "And then when I look at what you had to work with, not much has changed." "It's kind of just the other way around." "thisobviouslyis areally short challenge and you can see where it's unfinished." "However, I think there's something interesting about it that it hangs in such a drab way." "I'm confused and I don't totally mind what it could be." "itgotdrabberasthenight  progressed, so." "it'sa littlesad." "It's a little backwards bathrobe." "wait." "Question." "Did you think you could just put it on backwards and we wouldn't notice?" "no,no,no ,no ,no ." "I cinched the waist up here." "You can see where it's sewn." "ew,I seethat,but it- - wecanalsosee whereit's  pinned." "butit'sbackwards." "youhavepinsinthegarment." "it'sjusttimerestraints." "soyouleftthe pins?" "well..." "Yeah, I guess." "Idon'tknow,itjust doesn't work." "April." "Ireceivedamen 'sblazer." "And I cut out the front panels and turned it inside out." "And then I took fabric from mood and did the dress underneath and then the back panels." "I wanted it to be kind of raw and kind of unfinished." "thatalwaysworriesmetoo,  you know, when people do this-- hackandsew." "Hackandsew." "becausethenyouneverknow , is it because you don't know how to do it?" "What happens when she takes the belt off, can we have a look?" "So this is the jacket." "Did you turn it around, or what happened?" "yeah,I gotridofthelapel  and-- thisislikeahotmess." "totallystrange." "youknow,Iactuallylike  deconstructed clothes." "If you're gonna do deconstruction, we've gotta be able to see that, in fact, you can construct." "right,okay." "shelookslikean' 80sstreet" "Walker." "I mean, it just looks trashy." "Okay." "I think if I was allotted a longer amount of time, I think that I could really show you what I can do." "McKell." "okay,soIgot A.J.'S short-sleeved button-down shirt." "And it had some metal bits on the shoulder." "And I got rid of the metal bits up here and brought some metallic into her skirt." "And then I just wanted to make it fun and flirty and a good time." "Ilikethefactthat you mixed these fabrics, that precious fabric with that common, just button-down shirt." "But the styling again, guys, you have to be very mindful of that because it's all about the presentation." "That bag, it's the flower with the hair." "thestyling,Iagreewith" "Nina, it's a train wreck." "To me, it looks like some kind of disco kind of apron." "And I love the idea of something glamorous mixed with something utilitarian." "But I don't get any cohesion here at all, even in the contrast." "Can I see the side?" "Yeah." "Hello, world." "I mean, side cleavage is a rare thrilling moment for any woman." "Ihaveto saytoo ,and I'm  sorry, I think it is butt ugly." "It is just so not flattering." "Itypicallydesignvery tailored things, and this is pretty out of the box, which is ironic that I got so destroyed with my choice." "And hopefully, I can show you more of what I do." "Nicholas." "theitemIhad towork with  was Christopher's bomber jacket." "mm-hmm." "thiswasactuallythe bottom of the jacket, the ribbing." "And I had this idea of trying to take this sportswear and trying to mix it with an evening look." "itlooksveryodd tome." "And on top of it, I think it's really boring." "oh,I 'msorry." "thewholethingreallyjust  doesn't mesh together." "Nicholas,I thinktheideaof doing sportswear and evening sounds fantastic." "But this is too quiet." "So it's almost like it's a snooze." "Iwasconcernedwiththetime restraints." "I'm a little bit sorry I didn't go a bit more dramatic, you know, with the skirt, because I certainly can do things like that." "So I just really hope I get another chance to show you guys what I could really do with a little bit more time." "Casanova." "thegarmentthatIhave to work with was the kind of blouse with a lot of movement, a lot of tails." "So I was trying to find another fabric and still match with the original one." "it'sodd." "I mean, it's the only word for it." "I mean, it's this strange mix of things." "She's like a mother of the bride who's a belly dancer." "I mean, she's sexaholic, but she's conservative." "I don't know who she is." "She's a pole dancer in Dubai." "itisquestionableintaste." "It's almost fascinating." "But it's just fascinatingly bad." "Can we see the back, please?" "Ithinkit 'sinteresting." "When you moved, there was something fascinating." "I mean, I loved how daring it was in the back and I also loathed it." "I mean, at least it got a reaction." "Iwasthinkingina bathing suit top and a sarong." "right,right." "Casanova." "Take one last attempt to defend yourself." "Do I see a big old question mark over your head?" "yes." "didyouunderstandthe  question?" "no." "missGarciawillbethe translator." "oh." "Casanova... oh." "Thank you for the translation." "Probably I should still think out of the box, but in a more conservative way." "Probably." "okay." "We've heard what you had to say." "We're gonna have a little chat, and we'll bring you back out." "You can leave the runway." "Thank you." "oh,whathappened,what happened, what happened?" "wedon'tknowyet ." "youdon'tknowyet ?" "what?" "IthinkIwannagohome,  guys." "We can just cancel the Ivy show." "'Cause seriously, Ivy right now is, like, beaten down, spit on, and rolled over like a sad dog." "Ithinktwoare goinghome ." "Idotoo." "allright,whydon 'twestart with Ivy?" "Ivy." "whomadepantsout ofpants." "whata stretch." "whata stretch." "And she didn't quite understand that." "eventhoughshedidn't understand the challenge, to build a blouse like that to go with that-- buthowcanyou thinkthat , that you're not supposed to touch the pant?" "excuseme,whensomething's that unattractive, you certainly need to transform them." "You know, I think the whole thing was just a ridiculous mess when you think about it all together." "butshesewed." "sheknowshowtomake  clothes." "Whether she has any taste or talent-- right." "thatI don'tknow." "sheactuallytriedto convince us, to no avail, that this was good taste and this was good." "Casanova." "Casanova either has a hearing problem, or he doesn't speak" "English." "doesn'tspeakEnglishthat well." "I can't figure it out." "hedefinitelythoughtoutside of the box." "I mean, that's a blouse turned into a belly dancing dress." "I mean, it's an odd one." "And the taste level is certainly scary." "You wouldn't dream of ever hitting broad daylight in this dress, it's just" "Idon'tthinkanybodywould dream of coming up with this outfit from that blouse." "That's what's so remarkable." "no,itseemsliketenyears  ago." "you'dfindit in aweird kind of store in the mall that has a name like..." "Dazzles." "razzledazzled." "yeah,razzledazzled,where they sell, like, wigs and dresses." "thereissomething intriguing." "yes." "whatcouldthecar crashbe?" "yeah." "youknow?" "I mean, it's an odd one." "really?" "Idon'tknow." "let'stalkaboutJason." "His story was so bizarre." "yeah." "he'stheonlyone who  actually had a lot of fabric." "He had all of it, and all he did was flip it." "whyisdoneusingthesewing machine?" "butI doactuallylikethe way it kind of was put together." "I like the boot with it." "I like the-- thespikyhair." "Ilikethespiky,gel-yhair." "Imean,at leastitwas a look." "therewasalot ofstoryto not much outfit." "that'strue." "whatdowe thinkaboutApril?"

"It doesn't look so like a pastiche from another time." "yes,I agree." "whoknowsif sheknowshowto actually make clothes?" "right." "butthischallengewas ,like, the shortest one you guys have ever done-- ever." "Inhistory." "sofortheunfinishedseams and everything, it's like, you feel like you really have to say, "okay, I get it."" "I mean, they had five hours for this on their first day?" "whataboutMcKell?" "She definitely lives in a different world." "she'sinan alternate universe." "The only thing to me that had any merit there was the idea that she thought, okay, I'm gonna take this very casual shirt-- right." "Andmixitwith-- andI 'mgonnago glamwithit and mix it up." "andI 'mgonnachopthe  sleeves off." "itjustdidn'twork." "yeah,andshemadethemodel  look unflattering." "That was very unflattering on her body." "theaccessorieswere a disaster." "atrocious." "thehairtoo." "The hair was really horrible." "yeah,everything." "So I don't know, is there something cool in her that we didn't see today?" "I don't know." "whataboutNicholas?" "he'sgotagirlwho's gorgeous." "And I think she could wear a bag." "But even her beauty didn't sell you the gown, which was just a boring dress." "He, on the other hand, I'm bored, but I know he knows how to make clothes." "I mean, it was a finished evening gown-- andhewasveryconcernedto deliver something that looked well made and finished." "It was very respectful." "mm-hmm." "buthesentout aboring dress." "Do you reward the person who's safe, or do you, you know, reward someone who it didn't work but they at least tried?" "I don't know." "isthereanyonethatwewanna  give a second chance to?" "Ithinkso ." "allright,let'sbringthem  back out." "The six of you were in the bottom of this challenge."

"We want to see more from you." "You're in." "You can leave the runway." "Thankyou." "Make room for me on that couch." "yay!" "yay!" "Nicholas." "We want to see if you can push yourself given more time." "You're in." "You can leave the runway." "thankyouso much." "I will push myself so hard." "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "yay!" "Jason." "We are intrigued." "You're in." "You can leave the runway." "thankyou." "oh,man." "McKell." "We were perplexed, not only by your design but also by your poor styling choices." "Casanova." "No one can say that you didn't think outside of the box." "Your look was fascinatingly bizarre, and we question your taste." "Ivy." "You didn't stretch yourself in this challenge." "You made pants out of pants, and not very well at that." "McKell." "I'm sorry, you're out." "Wiedersehen." "thanks." "yay." "Ididn'tmakethe cut ." "youdidn't?" "no." "I 'mout." "you'reout?" "yeah."

"The dress is adorable." "Didn't fit your model very well, and there was the dubious styling." "But it's a lesson to all of you." "It's every little subtlety and nuance." "We're gonna miss you." "thankyou." "allright." "So I have to send you to the workroom to clean up your space, okay?" "Bye, McKell." "I'mfeelingalittlebummed, but, you know, I guess someone has to be the first, and that's me." "It's hard to follow your dreams."
