Project Runway (2004–…): Season 8, Episode 4 - Hats Off to You - full transcript

Previously on

Project Runway...

I love the unconventional

challenges because they give

you an opportunity to work with

materials you wouldn't work with

otherwise.

Do you guys have plastic

tiaras?

We are not making a pinata.

We are making a dress.



I can't seem to figure out

how to make it into something

that I like.

How's it going?

Are you gonna make it?

I have no time left.

To think that this is just a

dress made of ribbon material

from a party store,

i think that's remarkable.

To me, it's kind of a really

strange mix going on.

Andy, congratulations, you

are the winner of this



challenge.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, Sarah.

That means you're out.

How you feeling right now?

You feeling a little better?

Ivy just fainted.

I'm just really scared for her.

This is Project Runway.

Yes!

Let's go!

The search for the next big

fashion designer.

I was born ready.

You know you love this.

You're either in...

Or you're out.

It's about fashion.

Who will be the next great

fashion designer?

I'm the best there is.

17 designers...

This is my chance.

Three finalists...

But only one can be

the winner.

It's Fashion Week, or go

home.

I've come way too far to

lose.

For these 17 designers,

Project Runway is the chance of

a lifetime.

The winner of Project Runway

will receive $100,000 from

L'Oreal Paris to start their own

line, a fashion spread in

Marie Claire magazine,

a $50,000 technology suite from

HP and Intel to create their

vision and run their business,

and the opportunity to design

and sell an exclusive collection

The model paired with the winner

of Project Runway will receive a

fashion spread in Marie Claire

magazine and $25,000 from

L'Oreal Paris Studio Secrets

Professional.

Okay, give me a sec.

She's in the hallway.

Just try and breathe, nice

and easy.

Almost immediately, ivy

passed out.

Nice, easy breaths.

Ivy just fainted.

And I'm worried because I know

they have to take her to the

hospital, and I...

It just seems really serious to

me.

How are you feeling right

now?

Do you feel a little better?

Still feel a little dizzy?

I'm worried if she's gonna be

okay, if she's gonna go home.

I think I'm really worried now.

Ivy, the minute we went to the

workroom, it was like, bam, the

girl was on.

And I think she just stopped

taking care of herself.

It was more important to get the

dress done.

Yeah, she was stressing so

much.

I don't think she ate a lot.

The girl drinks a lot of diet

coke, and smokes a lot, and you

know, maybe the coffee thing...

Stressing.

Yeah, and she's stressing.

At least we know she's in

good care, and she's at the

hospital, and they're gonna do

their best to make sure that...

She'll be okay.

She'll be all right.

Project Runway 8x04
Hats Off to You
Original Air Date on August 19, 2010

I just got released from the

hospital, and the doctor gave me

the okay that I can go back to

work.

The end result was just

dehydration.

And I feel so embarrassed that

it happened.

If there's one lesson that I've

learned, it's to definitely take

care of the body.

I am really looking forward to

the next day and creating my

vision that I got inspired by

the hospital room.

Hello.

Hi.

Andy, you were the winner of

the last challenge, so you will

have immunity and cannot be

eliminated this week.

I am really excited about this

next challenge.

And you are about to see why.

Let's bring out your models.

Oh, my gosh.

Wow.

Oh, my God.

Isn't this amazing?

Yes.

Every hat, one after the

other is just as fabulous, and

breathtaking, and a piece of

art.

And I think to myself, "I am so

happy to be here right now."

I'm excited to introduce you

to the artist himself.

He designs for the most

beautiful women in the world--

from Sarah Jessica Parker, to

Lady gaga...

Philip treacy.

Hi.

Mwah!

Welcome.

Thank you.

Hi.

Philip treacy is an amazing

hat designer.

I don't even know if I would

call him a designer as more of

an artist.

He's a craftsman, and he is

phenomenal at what he does.

Designers, your challenge is

to create a look inspired by

and worthy to be worn with one

of these works of art.

To have your dress being worn

with one of his hats?

That's, like, the Holy grail,

dude.

That's--that's big time.

Philip, do you have any

advice for them?

I think you have to think in

terms of the volume and the

proportion that will work with

the overall silhouette of the

person.

And matching is old hat.

That is good advice.

Andy, you won the last

challenge, so you get to pick

your hat first.

You will also be working with

the model that is wearing your

hat--all of you will.

I'm going to stick with

my Cassie.

Thank you.

April.

The first hat that I am drawn

to is the one that ify's

wearing.

I think that it's super cool.

But ify's a difficult model to

work with.

I'm gonna stay with millana.

Michael drummond.

I'm going to stick with my

model, zhanna.

And that's my favorite hat.

Michael costello.

Lenka.

Love you.

Thank you.

Peach.

My model, ify, oooh!

Her attitude is awful.

But she's a tall, lanky, thin

girl.

She's stunningly beautiful.

I'm going to stick with ify.

Thank you.

Gretchen.

I have a fetish with

feathers, so I'm going to stick

with my model, Alexandra.

Christopher.

I'm staying with my Rose.

Mondo.

Eyen, I would love to work

together again.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Ivy.

I would love to stick with

ekaterina.

Thank you.

A.J.

Every single time, we seem to

make it work, so I'm going to

stick with you, amare.

Thank you.

Valerie.

I'm not crazy about her hat,

'cause it's not really a hat,

it's more of a mask.

But I really wanted to stay

loyal to my model.

This mask-hat seems pretty

tricky, but my model and I seem

to have a pretty good thing

going.

So I'm sticking with Tina Marie.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Casanova.

Well, I will stay with my

sarae.

Kristin, kaven is left on

the runway, and you will be

working with her again and this

beautiful hat.

I love orchids.

It's one of my favorite flowers.

But damn, you know?

It's so in-your-face.

Okay, Philip will be our

guest judge.

Good luck with this challenge,

and I'll see you on the runway.

Bye, everybody.

Bye.

Hello, everybody.

Hi.

How excited are you?

Way, very excited.

We have the hats in the

designer lounge.

There is a photograph of each of

your hats on your hp touchsmart

notebook.

Now you have until 11:00

tonight...

So your 15 minutes of sketching

begins now.

And then we're going to mood,

where we will have a budget of

$150.

Whew.

Okay?

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you.

The hat I was given reminded

me of something that you'd wear

in the future to some kind of

island.

So I wanted to do a resort-wear

outfit that was complementary of

the hat, but still accented it.

I see this hat being worn on

the head of a woman who is part

of the royal family.

It feels good to not worry

because I have immunity, and I

have a really good chance of

winning again.

I'm a huge David bowie fan.

So I thought of labyrinth, and

I thought of the leather, and

spandex, and the high collars,

and low-scooped baroque corseted

dresses.

I think I might do something

that points a nod to those

things.

But a little more modern, and

edgier, and understated.

I know what I wanna design.

Like, this halter that would

drop down and just have the

circular movement that it had

with the hat.

I know that this dress is gonna

kick ass, and it's gonna be

amazing.

So this hat is completely

architectural.

And it is framing my model's

face so well.

And I just want to be able to

mimic that.

And I think that this hat speaks

of a warrior.

Back at home, I'm inspired by

my garden.

But here, having a flower as a

hat?

Oh, goodness.

This is gonna be tough.

This really is gonna be a tough

challenge.

You like yours?

For me, yours is the risky one.

It is risky.

All right, designers, let's

head off to mood.

Follow me.

So excited.

It is exciting.

I'm so excited.

Thrilling.

It's Philip treacy!

Let's go.

There's a million, trillion

fabrics to choose from.

I think they all have voices,

and I'm hearing them.

While I was in the hospital,

I saw the curtains that were in

there.

And I really liked the contrast

between the solid and the mesh

fabric.

So I'm thinking that would be a

really nice detail to have in

the back.

So it was very serendipitous.

I'm just trying to see if

this is the right fabric for

that.

Is that too--I don't want

anything too shiny.

It's not playing second

fiddle to the hat.

It needs to be a good marriage.

Right.

Hold your feather.

I got this.

No, it matches my hat perfectly.

It has the silhouette of it.

You're right.

It does.

Oh, homage-age.

All right, designers, time

is up.

$147.55.

$147?

And 55.

Nice.

All right, everyone, let's

head back to the workroom.

Thank you, mood!

Thank you, mood.

Off we go.

I'm a little nervous.

Ooh, what happened here?

I'm thinking seriously to quit.

What happened?

I'm not sure if I'm able to

hear more stuff, like before.

Casanova, don't say that.

I believe in you.

You can do it!

Casanova's kind of being a diva,

but I mean, it's expected coming

from a queen.

But there are times when it can

be a little much for everyone in

the workroom.

The judges, they know that I

sew very well.

But maybe they believe that I

don't have taste.

And that's the thing that I have

to do in the next challenge,

to show my taste.

No, you're really not.

No, I didn't get a zipper for

my dress.

You know what, I thought

about the same thing.

I can't believe I didn't do that

either.

Well, I've got this--

no, I didn't.

Oh, my God.

You're smart enough to do

this.

You know, Murphy's law, dude.

I tell you what, that guy Murphy

and I are not friends.

I have an extra one if you

need one, but it's not in black.

Ooh, what color is it?

White.

That's fine.

Is it invisible?

Yeah.

It's a flower.

It's the hat.

This is really gonna be a tough

challenge, because it's so

literal.

And I'm not used--I don't do

literal.

I don't do literal at all.

To me, all the other hats have

such great possibilities.

I mean, you could make the story

your own.

How do you make a story out of

an orchid?

I don't really know.

Um...I don't know what I'm

gonna do.

Coming up on

Project Runway...

Haven't we all seen this

dress a hundred times before?

Yeah, you think?

I'm not going to dissuade you

from being concerned.

You should be.

What am I doing?

What the hell am I doing?

What if I made something

like--

ah.

Ten hours, everybody.

That's it.

Not that much time.

Ten hours.

Our challenge is to design

a garment worthy enough to be

worn with one of Philip treacy's

hats.

You are in awe just of the

presence of his designs.

My scissors are gone.

You know, there are moments

that I get a little, like,

jittery in my belly, and I'm

like, "oh, crap, I could totally

blow it and be in the bottom."

Just, I have to keep working

harder.

Anybody have, like, a black

knit?

As far as time wise, I'm

looking at the clock and I think

I can do this.

I'm feeling confident.

Just don't wanna pass out again,

like last time.

Ah.

I'd have just loved to have

gotten yours.

I'm inspired.

I wasn't at first, but now I'm

like, "oh, my God."

At first this challenge scared

me, because I'm like, "what am I

going to do with this orchid?"

I want it to be an evening--

like, a black evening-ish dress,

but with a little bit of whimsy

in it.

But then I thought this would

inspire me because, when I got

married, I actually had orchids,

you know, in my hair.

And I needed to do something

that conveyed romance, that

conveyed l le.

It's also very provocative

somewhat.

It is very provocative.

I was like, ooh, she's gonna

meet her lover.

Oh, my God, where's my husband?

But Whoo!

Flowers have both male and

female organs, so.

You know, it's walking sex.

The hat brings out your sexy?

Yeah, well, look at it.

It's just a big vagina.

Wait, so what are you trying

to tell us?

Vagina makes you excited?

Well, doesn't it--oh, never

mind, look who I'm talking to!

Kristin, she's a character.

Oh, thank you!

I think Kristin's crazy.

I needed that so bad.

Wow!

I'm serious.

I hope I get to talk to my

son today.

Oh, that's right, happy

father's day, honey.

Thank you.

I have my son, Giovanni.

He's six years old, love of my

life.

Happy father's day.

Happy father's day, Michael.

Thank you.

Anyone else a dad around

here?

No, not me.

What do you think?

"If that's your style.

It's not mine."

I think Michael c is an

insecure designer.

And I don't think he has his

vision yet.

His dress, it's a hot mess.

Do you have a seam down the

front?

Yeah.

Mm.

Uh.

I am a few hours into my design

right now.

I'm telling myself that I love

it when I really don't.

Damn, I don't even know what

happened here.

This is a big deal, and my dress

sucks at this point.

How is everybody?

Good.

Good, excellent.

Hi, Valerie.

Hi, Tim.

So talk to me about what

you're doing.

I wanted to do a jacket.

Mm-hmm.

She has red lips, and the

black mask.

I decided to mix the soft with

the hard in using this white

faux leather for the jacket.

And I'm also putting the black

zippers here on the chest.

Do you think the zippers are too

heavy?

Killing me with your silence.

My feeling about these things

in general is if they don't have

a purpose, why have them?

Well, it's a design detail.

I feel like it's the hardware of

the dress, and it gives it a

little more edge.

But it also needs to be

necessary because with just as

much frequency the judges talk

about editing.

Right, right.

You know?

Did you really need that?

Right.

You can play with it.

Right.

Zippers are my favorite part.

So I really want to take his

advice, but at the same time, he

does remind me that I need to

stay true to myself and it's my

decision.

All right, thank you.

Thank you.

April.

Hey, how are you?

I'm good. Talk to me.

What did that hat say to you?

Well, I really liked it,

'cause it was kind of modern,

but still avant-garde.

Mm-hmm.

I wanted to do hot shorts and

a jacket.

I don't think the runway is

really the place for Booty

shorts, nor do I think designing

for a Philip treacy hat is the

place for Booty shorts.

For me, for the cut of the

short...

Mm-hmm.

And the color of the short...

Mm-hmm.

It really says "diaper."

Especially it's quilted, so

there's a thickness to it.

I mean, I totally would wear

them if my butt was that small.

But it's not, so.

I think the shorts are a cool

idea and a risky idea at the

same time.

Thank you.

Thank you, see you later.

Michael.

Hi, Tim.

What is this?

It's just a pleated fabric of

some sort.

Maybe it's a blend.

It's fabulous, though.

Basically, I figured if I

mimicked the line--like, the

opening here, it will open her

up more.

Because it's very heavy.

I do know that it could easily

step into a place that's Sci-Fi

fiction fantasy.

But do you know something?

But I'm okay with that.

You want to walk the

precipice, you want to.

Oh, no, I don't know what

that really means.

You don't wanna play it safe.

Got you.

I don't wanna--you're right.

And you don't want it to be

a kooky costume.

Don't.

So it becomes a matter of

taste.

Mm-hmm.

And when it's a matter of

taste, we don't know where it's

going to go.

But as long as you have the

confidence in your look, in some

ways it doesn't matter.

Mm-hmm.

All right.

Thank you, Michael.

Thank you.

Can't wait to see it.

Come here, chica.

We got work to do.

So how's Kristin?

Okay.

You know, I have the orchid.

Yeah, I know, it's stunning.

It's stunning.

This looks fussy.

Yeah, it does.

Just doesn't look modern.

It gets on my nerves too.

Yeah, that gets on my nerves

too.

So there we go, gone.

Kristin, I really don't like

her work.

I feel like it's really sloppy

and not very thoughtful.

I did wanna add a little

shrug to it, but...

Why?

What if I made something...

Ah!

Thank you.

It's gone. Okay.

All right.

Thank you, Kristin.

Okay, thanks, Tim.

The woman who can afford that

hat...

Yes?

Would be able to afford a

polka dot dress where the polka

dots line up.

Okay.

And they don't on your dress.

Okay.

I thought I'd do a really

short pencil skirt.

A really short pencil skirt.

What do you mean "really

short?"

Like, you know, 15, 16

inches, not up...

Yeah.

You know, to show the good

china.

Hey, Tim.

Wow, look at all this fabric.

Making a pant, and then it's

going to have this waistband.

Not a fully exposed zipper, but

it'll be laid in there.

It's a lot of look.

Right, it is.

But that's what I do.

Christopher, I'm crazy about

this print.

I love this print.

I wanted her to have an open

neck to allow for the angles of

the top.

Yeah. Oh, I agree.

So I, like, gave it a lot of

kick of, like, fabric in here.

So I think on the runway it will

flow, like, open.

Hmm.

It's, like, I feel like I've

just been this steady as she

goes.

Like, slowly going up.

But never quite there.

And then I got a lot of buttons

to kind of...

I thought maybe these could

be really interesting on the

leggings as well.

To kind of give it a little bit

of energy.

I just wonder if it's gonna

seem like you're trying too

hard.

You're right.

Absolutely.

All right, Christopher, thank

you.

Thank you.

I feel awesome about my

design.

I have no concern, until Tim

comes to my table and say...

Haven't we all seen this

dress a hundred times before?

Yes, you think?

And to me, it says,

"Donna karan, 1988."

I cannot make any more

mistake.

I already did mistake enough.

I'm not like a cat with seven

life.

When you see this hat, do you

think who would wear the hat?

What kind of person would she

be?

Oh, my God!

Nobody wear the hat.

It's very editorial.

Editorial?

Editorial.

Well, in fact, people do wear

Philip treacy's hats.

For me, the dress is more

wearable.

Oh, it's very wearable.

That's one of my concerns about

it.

So the dress should be not

wearable?

No. No, no, no, no, no.

It's almost as though you went

shopping, bought a dress, and

you're putting it on your model,

and she's wearing Philip

treacy's hat.

Mm-hmm.

All right.

I don't know what else I can

say except finish it superbly.

Okay?

Okay.

All right.

Casanova, he has strong

sewing skills.

And I feel like, with proper

guidance, he could do really

well.

Thank you, Casanova.

Thank you.

So, Michael, how's it going?

Not exactly as I'd hoped for.

Talk to me.

Well, I've never worked with

this kind of fabric before, and

it created, like, a little

puckering detail that's driving

me insane.

So that's my big concern.

It--I mean, I'm not going to

dissuade you from being

concerned; You should be.

That's what I thought.

I feel so bad about this

dress, but...

Change it up.

I agree.

You have to.

At least you know it.

Yeah.

How am I gonna make another

dress in a short amount of time?

How am I gonna do this?

All right, Michael...

Go make it work.

Pack my Bags, I'll

just go home.

I'll just go home.

Coming up on

Project Runway...

Why would you send a diaper

down the runway?

I don't think he has any idea

what is modern.

He's afraid of it looking

like a cardboard box.

I think it's gonna be peach,

Kristin, and April in the

bottom.

All right, designers, I'm

leaving you for the evening.

Some of you have some very

important decisions to make.

I trust that they will be made.

And the winner of this challenge

will have immunity and cannot

be eliminated from the next

challenge.

All right?

I will see you in the morning.

Work hard.

And get restst!

I decided to take Tim's

advice, and I cut that sucker

right off the mannequin.

I start playing with some other

fabrics, but I'm not feeling too

confident at this point.

Michael costello, he has a

lot to learn.

He didn't bring a ruler with

him.

At least to help you with a

straight line.

I mean, there are many ways to

skin a cat, but you should

probably bring a knife.

Are you done with your dress

already?

Almost.

I need to make a hem and put a

zipper, and that's it.

Uh-oh.

I think April, her stuff

still looks like student work.

And I think her work is too

costume-y.

I think she's probably gonna go

home soon.

Thanks, mom!

We miss you a lot.

Oh, he did?

Let me talk to him.

Dad, I didn't really catch a

fish.

You didn't really catch a

fish?

Being able to talk to Giovanni

really put me at ease.

You know, 'cause he's my boy.

I love him to death.

When you'll be back?

I don't know yet.

I needed to hear from him.

My mind was in a crazy place.

Love you, baby.

Bye.

Bye.

I think you have to, as a

designer, go with your gut

feeling but know when to stop.

That's why it's good when you

have somebody like Tim come in

the room because he kind of

puts you back on track.

I had this other really

beautiful fabric, and I got an

idea and I just went with it.

I think I'm on to something

that's really beautiful and very

sophisticated.

Michael c's look, he

sometimes just goes

over-the-top.

His taste level is a little bit

questionable at times.

It needs something, because I

feel like....Look.

Definitely leggings.

Oh, the back is nice.

I like the back.

I actually like it now.

What we're gonna do is just

tweak it a little bit.

Like, that's totally the ticket

right there.

Yeah, I like this.

Don't get depressed 'cause

we're not winning.

No, because we are.

'Cause we're doing really

well.

I don't know what she's

thinking.

All the judges are gonna be

like, "why would you send a

diaper down the runway?"

It's really feminine.

Let me look at you next to

it.

Yes, yes!

I like my garment.

I like the way it flows, and I

like that it's romantic.

You know, I'm feeling good about

it.

She have a lot of idea how to

make a big mess around the body

of the model.

But it's not design.

Yeah.

We're done, we're good.

I'm crazy.

Like, I have to finish this

thing, and I didn't even make my

skirt.

And everyone's like, "what about

your skirt?

What about your skirt?"

I'm out of time and I'm out of

trick ponies, so.

But they're all, like, secretly

happy.

Let's go home.

Did you guys get a chance to

look at anybody's work?

No, I didn't.

Can we trash talk for a

little bit?

You know, I liked Casanova's

at first.

I don't know if I like it now.

I don't think he has any idea

what is modern and fresh.

He's making old Lady clothes

again, right?

Is that what you heard?

Is that what you heard?

Yes.

He said Donna karan, 1980s.

Michael drummond with that

cardboard.

I actually like it.

But he might--but I don't

know what he's gonna do with it,

though.

Like, it fits well,

but, like, he's afraid of it

looking like a cardboard box.

Well, the fabric looks like

a cardboard box.

So who do you guys think is

going home tomorrow?

I think it's gonna be peach,

Kristin, and April in the

bottom.

I am nervous about tomorrow.

Why?

Yeah, 'cause I have a nice

little dress.

But it's a nice little dress.

I'm afraid to--

yeah, but how does it look

with the hat?

You know, I don't know.

I don't know.

Well, that's what matters.

I'll find out tomorrow.

Mm.

And Heidi likes short, and

tight, and shiny.

Whatever, you know.

'Cause, like, you know, I only

care--I care more about what

Philip thinks.

You know, but I don't want Heidi

to, "well, it's not short..."

You know?

I don't want, you know...

We'll see.

I have to see it.

I haven't seen your dress.

I wish you didn't tell me

that.

Coming up on

Project Runway...

I see some worried looks

around here.

Stop doing this, machine!

Agh!

It may take a stick of

butter...

Ouch, ouch.

But I'm going to get this

girl in this dress.

Coming!

Ivy...

That's--

whoa, sorry.

♪ Da, da, da, da ♪

you know, even if I have

immunity...

Like, I know I can't go home

today, but I don't wanna, like,

mess up.

I'm afraid for April because

her garment really, really does

look like a diaper.

Who do you think's gonna be

in the top?

I think I could be in the top

two.

I just want a critique.

I've just been in the middle,

and I'm tired of not at least

getting feedback, whether it's

positive or negative.

Are you going as the hulk

today?

Why do you have all that green

on your face?

Because too oily.

It's a nice look for you.

Thank you.

All right, let's go.

Where's my sanity?

April, no sanity, no dignity.

Let's go.

Ready to go.

Good morning.

It's runway day, but I still

have the back of the jacket to

drape, I still have the zipper

for the skirt, the hem of the

skirt.

It's kind of a lot, but I know I

can execute things beautifully

and quickly.

Hemming the skirt for me

just is what scares me the most,

because hemming a skirt can take

a long time.

So yeah, I'm a little nervous.

You're going so fast.

Stop doing this, machine!

Agh!

Bad machine.

Good morning, everybody.

Good morning.

It's a big, big day.

It's your Philip treacy day.

So you have two hours to send

your models to the L'Oreal Paris

makeup room and the garnier

hair salon.

And remember, with the piperlime

accessory wall, this is about

your design and Philip treacy's

hats, so be very thoughtful

about how you use it.

I see some worried looks around

here.

Everyone all right?

Okay, I'm sending in your

models.

Thank you.

I think if there's enough

time, I'm gonna try to make you

a different skirt.

Okay.

Oh, my God.

You guys. Oh, jeez.

I think I brought it in from the

workroom.

All right, you guys, don't

get crazy over there.

I think it's gonna work.

Let's go. Hurry.

Hi.

Superstar.

I've got this crazy hat.

And I love it.

So I just want it to be--think,

like, finger, a little messy.

A little texture.

Fantastic.

Okay.

If you could just stay true

to the hat and just kind of hide

the hair.

So just really decompress

the bun so it, like, almost

disappears, right?

Yes. In your language.

Perfect. Yeah.

Instead of a bun, you want

a roll.

Mm-hmm. I want a roll.

You don't want princess Leia?

I love exactly how he did it.

It looks like soft, soft blush

and then the light pink, baby

neutral lip.

Okay. Excellent.

I would love to add this

mustache on her with liquid

eyeliner or something.

'Cause she's doing menswear

today.

Okay.

All righty?

Have a seat over here,

handsome.

I wanted to make sure that I

did a dress that really

complemented that hat, and,

hopefully, the judges, they'll

be impressed with that in such

little time.

I do not expect Michael c

in the top.

The dress that he made--every

girl from Puerto Rico have the

same dress in their closets.

Decisions. Decisions.

I feel confident going to the

runway with my look.

A lot of the girls like the

shorts.

Millana liked 'em.

I thought they were cool, and

it's trendy right now.

Are you still using that

butterfly bracelet?

Yes, and I love that

butterfly bracelet.

Right, well, you better put

it on there before I snag it.

The concept of my dress is to

really make certain that the

dress and the orchid as a unit

convey romance and love.

I'm happy with mine.

I'm totally loving it.

I really like the styling.

Really, really.

I have gotten so many

compliments on it.

So many people have said, like,

"Christopher, I think that you

have a chance to get this one."

I hope you win.

I want to win.

It looks really small in the

waist.

Yup.

It's looking pretty tiny, and

I thought, well, it may take a

stick of butter, but I'm going

to get this girl in this dress.

Ouch. Ouch.

Well, pin it there...

I think it's nice that

Philip treacy is there because

he is so avant-garde and

creative, and it's exciting to

see what his opinion is.

Who made this?

Andy.

Andy.

It's clever to pick up the

shimmer.

Yeah.

Rather than the color.

Who made this?

Casanova.

Okay.

Why on earth do you have a

mustache?

I'm a little worried about

this thing, but it's okay.

Yeah.

When I put this look

together, I decided to go with

boots, 'cause I thought that

kind of made her a little bit

hipper.

So when I styled her, it was

like, oh, my God, she kind of

looks like chic pirate a little

bit.

I am feeling nervous.

My hands are shaking.

I'm trying to keep it together.

I'm doing self-affirmations

like telling myself I can do it,

I can do it.

And it really, really needs to

be perfect, so I'm just trying

to sew as quickly as possible

'cause I'm not sending anything

down the runway that's not

executed well.

All right.

All right, designers and

models, let's go down to the

runway right now.

Follow me, please.

Peach.

Coming!

Ivy.

Oh, sorry.

That's it.

That--what--blah!

Huh. That was a first.

Coming up on

Project Runway...

I think it looks like you

didn't have a plan with this

dress.

I have to say I didn't

respond well to it.

May I see the back?

Oh! No!

hello.

Hi.

Welcome to the runway.

As you know, in fashion,

one day you're in and the next

day you're out.

There are 13 of you here, and

after tonight, there will be 12.

Your challenge was to create a

look inspired by and worthy to

be worn with one of

Philip treacy's amazing hats.

I'm a longtime fan of his work,

and today I'm also wearing one

of his masterpieces.

Okay, let's meet the judges.

First we have top designer

Michael kors...

Hey, guys.

Fashion director for

Marie Claire magazine,

Nina Garcia...

Hi, everyone.

And we're very excited to

have famous hat designer

Philip treacy.

Hi.

Well, we'll score your

designs as they come down the

runway.

One of you will be named the

winner, and one of you will be

out.

Okay, let's start the show.

♪ ♪

I'm thinking, oh, lord.

Damn, well, that look good.

And I think the combination

between my dress and

Philip treacy's hat is

absolutely stunning.

So elegant.

So sophisticated.

It looked awesome.

I loved it. It looked amazing.

I really like my outfit a

lot.

I'd definitely wear it.

I pushed my bounds of what I

am comfortable with.

And I feel like I interpreted my

hat in a manner that was true

to my aesthetic and not just the

hats.

I love the way my garment

looks on the runway because I

love the way it flows, and I

love the way that it's

harmonious with the hat, with

the orchid.

She looks fabulous.

It looks amazing.

She looks like the sun.

I love her.

I can't even handle it.

I'm really, really proud of

myself.

I'm very happy.
Myself.

I see Tina Marie come down

the runway, and I really love

it.

And I think it looks very clean,

very polished.

It's got a little tinge of

drama and a little tinge of

sexiness and flirtiness, and I

think it encompasses a lot of

different things in one garment.

It's very me.

I couldn't be happier.

Going down the runway, I feel

really good about how my dress

looks.

I think that it looks fantastic.

Totally different than what I

normally do, but still

completely me.

And I feel good about this one.

Watching Cassie come down the

runway, I just feel like she

just looks so expensive.

I'm hoping the judges notice

that and that they really are

affected by it, because it's

a strong look.

And, at the same time, it's

believable that somebody would

actually wear this in their

everyday life.

I think I nailed it.

I am so impressed with myself

with the way that the outfit

turned out that I can't help

but get a little emotional, and

ekaterina looked so gorgeous in

it, and it looks like it was

made for her.

And it's like my baby.

It was beautiful.

I need to get over myself.

As I'm watching my whole look

go down the runway, it really

does look like she's going to

this futuristic resort.

I'm happy with it, and I don't

regret anything.

I love it.

It looks so elegant and, I

think, so chic.

And I think it worked so well

with this hat.

I think ify walked the

daylights out of that hat and

that dress.

She did such a great job.

And I think I can handle her

now.

When I saw my model on the

runway, I just think, Casanova,

you will be safe.

Whatever, Donna karan 1980s, you

will be safe.

I worked so hard on

completing a look and finishing

it to my liking.

But, you know, when I see it

walking down the runway, I don't

change anything in my head.

It's exactly what I dreamt.

If I call your name, please

step forward.

April.

Michael drummond.

Christopher.

Michael costello, please step

forward.

Valerie.

Kristin.

If I have not called your name,

congratulations.

Your scores have qualified you

to move on to the next

challenge.

You can leave the runway.

Let's bring out your models.

Oh, Christopher knocked it

out of the park.

Yeah, his looks great.

So sophisticated, but still edgy

and sexy.

Totally.

Like, I would wear that whole

outfit on the streets.

We haven't even talked about

Michael c's.

I think he's in the bottom.

It was way too easy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I thought April was in the

top.

You don't think she's in the

top?

I think April's in the

bottom.

I think she's in the bottom.

Her shorts didn't fit right.

Valerie's in the bottom.

But her mask and her dress

don't have anything to do with

each other.

They have no relationship.

She missed the boat.

Michael drummond, tell us

about your look.

I was easily inspired by

your art, so I was also inspired

by architects.

This reminded me of a warrior,

and it also reminded me of a

farmer a bit.

And I don't mean that in a bad

way.

A warrior and a...?

A farmer.

Okay.

Yeah, because I remember this

sort of was to protect you from

the sun.

I kind of was inspired by the

sun.

It is a gold belt to sort of

reflect the idea of the sun and

light.

I think you did a great job

with this.

I love the shoulders.

I love that you made the

material.

You made the model look

fantastic.

And I think you really looked

at the shape of the hat.

Hats are part architecture, and

you've managed to make an

architectural outfit.

So how did you do the skirt?

I actually just made it a

tube, and then I crinkled it

and pressed it with an iron.

I think it's really cool.

I like how you manipulated the

fabric.

I like the texture on the

skirt very, very much.

I like the pleating.

I like the detailing.

And I like the silhouette.

I really do think it works

very well together.

And the other thing that I found

very interesting was the open

back.

Even from the back, it's just

very dramatic, and it

complements the hat beautifully.

Kristin.

I just looked at the lines

of the orchid.

But I decided to make the dress

more architectural, so I just

picked a nice solid black, but

just had, you know, the pop-up

color underneath, so that's

the story really.

An orchid is this incredibly

beautiful and sexy flower.

I look at what happened to the

dress, and I see no correlation

between the two other than the

fact that we have pink accents.

I think the black satin's

definitely not working in your

favor.

Can I see the back of the dress?

It just hangs around.

Yeah, there's no harmony to

the dress.

Here you have a girl with an

amazing body, and I don't know

what it's doing for her body at

all.

I think it looks like you

didn't have a plan with this

dress.

And the other thing is the

matchy toenails and the flower

shoe.

I don't know why you would go

so matchy-matchy and literal

with this.

Initially, I really liked

the idea that you emulated the

stripes of the hat on the back

of the dress, but I think that

the--I think it probably would

have needed something more

fragile.

Kristin, you've been very

quiet through all of this.

I do disagree.

I definitely did have a concept.

I didn't want it to be, like,

just tight and just where you

see the waist.

I wanted it to flow.

And that was my intention.

The dress that is up there

is very contradicting.

It's soft, but it's not.

Right.

You know, whereas had you

gone maybe with a lighter

fabric.

It's not architectural.

And it's not fluid either.

Okay. Thank you.

Christopher.

I absolutely loved, loved my

hat.

I didn't use any other hard

angles, because I felt like

there were so many points here.

So I wanted it to continuously

flow.

I was greatly inspired by the

feeling of, like, parisian

fashion.

Of a delicate woman, but also a

powerful woman.

I have to say I didn't

respond well to it.

It's too dark.

I would have liked to have seen

some color in there.

Something to make it a little

happier.

It seems sad to me.

Okay.

When I look at you trying to

kind of edge her up with that

black belt, with the black

boot, and with that Gray satin

legging, which is--I mean,

even a model can't wear that

legging.

It kind of loses the whole idea

of the hat.

And then she has this coat made

out of drapes.

There's no romance here to me

at all.

It feels very stiff.

It feels overly designed.

I think it's fighting for the

attention with the hat.

The fabric that you chose is

so heavy that you can't really

appreciate the lightness, and

that what's so fabulous about

this hat.

This needed something that...

It makes her look, like, held

down to the floor?

Yes.

Like, just heavy.

She's sinking in.

Rather than floating away.

You know, simplicity can be

beautiful rather than too

complicated.

Mm-hmm.

I don't see the connection.

There's nothing daywear about

the hat.

Right.

Michael.

When I look at the hat, it

has a hardness to it, but also

it has a playfulness to it when

you look at the stem here.

I notice that this movement

was transitioned into my dress.

And the fabrics to me were just

so beautiful, and I thought that

they just picked up the

beautiful tones in the hat.

I fell in love with it.

I think it's just a fun little

dress.

This is what harmony looks

like.

It's not matchy-matchy.

I love the idea that she's kind

of, you know, goddess of the Sea

without being a costume.

Can we see the back?

It looks effortless.

You know, when you wear

something that's draped and

asymmetrical like this, that's

what you want.

I knew right then and there.

I put it on the dress form, and

it just had this flow to it

that was just so inspiring.

And I was like, "ah, this works

with my hat."

The color of the hat and the

color of the dress are perfect.

I love that you picked a nude

shoe, almost to, you know, make

it disappear.

It's really not about anything

but...

The dress and the hat.

It is a great dress with the

hat, but I also think it is a

beautiful dress on its own.

And I think it was really

clever of you to use the

iridescence of the hat as the

coloring, and I think you've

done an exceptional job with

this.

Thank you.

April, tell us about your

look.

My sole inspiration was the

hat.

I liked how it had a very kind

of futuristic beach whimsical

look to it.

So I played with the lines by

doing different textures of

black and then just a pop of

pink to kind of bring it

together.

When I look at the vibe of

this, I think you picked the

right category

but the execution and the actual

pieces...

First off, I think it's very

literal.

When I look at this kind of

triple-panty--I mean, and the

panty is ill-fitting.

I guess if you're going for a

three-day weekend, it looks like

you layered your underpants for

the weekend, and each day you

kind of unpeeled and you had a

new panty.

Can I see the back?

Oh!

No!

I don't want to know why her

panty has a big black zipper

in the back.

I don't mind the top.

I think it's aually really

beautiful.

But I feel like you ran out of

time or you ran out of ideas.

You sold it short.

Literally.

Yeah, I didn't want to

overpower the hat, a I think

that's where I kind of got in

my dilemma.

This kind of hat, you could

have gone a lot further and made

a fantastic volume, but also the

whole outfit, it's just--it's

a little bit weak.

Okay.

Valerie, tell us about your

look.

I didn't want it to be too

literal.

Nor did I want it to be too

costume-y.

So I chose to use this scoop

neckline here, and then the

jacket, I wanted to show a

little bit of mix of hard and

soft.

When she takes the jacket off,

I feel like it's a very modern

take on the scoop,

edwardian-style reference.

You know, especially with the

back.

You know, the racerback is very

clean, it's very sexy, and

then the zipper is just very

consistent with the mask.

I think it's--it's beautiful.

It's actually one of my

favorites, because it is soft,

but still hard and sexy at the

same time.

I do love the white little

jacket.

I like that it has a zipper in

the back.

And it looks rlly well-made.

I like the idea that you have

this kind of handkerchief,

Stevie nicks kind of hem, but

it's actually very geometric

and neat.

You know, I think it's nice

that it's not expected.

Right, well, and I figured

because the lace was so

intricate, to do a lace dress or

do something with lots of

cutouts would be

counterproductive.

There's something very

mischievous and coquettish about

the mask that translatesnto

the spirit of your dress.

You know, the construction

of your jacket and the pattern

cutting and how you've made it,

it's beautiful.

But I really don't understand

how--personally, I don't

understand where it's coming

from.

Right.

I had thought about an evening

dress, but I felt an evening

dress would be expected.

So kind of wanted to do

something a little off-the-cuff

and a little more modernized

and a little more me.

Okay.

Okay, we've heard what you

had to say.

We're gonna have a little chat.

And then we'll bring you back

out.

You can leave the runway.

Hi.

So they loved yours, Michael?

They absolutely loved it.

The first word that Michael kors

said was "harmonious."

They all said so much good

stuff, I forgot what it was.

They didn't say anything bad

about it.

They just really loved it.

They said that the execution was

great.

Not only does it complement the

hat, but even without the hat,

someone would look great in it.

It feels good.

It really feels good to be down

there and finally get my

crique from them.

They didn't like yours?

They didn't like yours?

No.

Christopher, they didn't

like yours?

None of 'em liked it.

They were like--heidi was like,

"it makes me feel sad."

And they didn't really like

the styling.

They didn't like the boots.

I was really shocked.

It's intense being up there,

man.

Second time in the bottom.

How did you articulate?

I went towards resort wear,

because that's what the hat

reminded me of.

Don't get teary-eyed.

Oh, .

What the .

It's okay to cry.

It's really fine.

Well, it's just--it's just--

the thing that upsets me is

that I thought that--I was

really confident with it, you

know.

I just felt like it was so me.

So that's why I was rely

confident.

But, yeah, it is what it is.

It sucks.

Let's talk about the

designers that we didn't like

so much.

Let's talk about Christopher.

There was no sense of

fragility to what he did at all.

In fact, she looked very heavy

and leaden.

I really think that

Christopher thought that this

look was really edgy.

It looked dated.

It looked stiff.

It was overly designed.

Yeah.

And bad taste.

Also the girl is possibly

the most beautiful, stunning

girl, and it made her less

beautiful.

If there's any plus, there

was form to that jacket-vest,

whatever you want to call it,

but I think if you would have

seen that vest worn with

something ethereal, without the

belt, with something light, I

think you would have had

something there.

Okay, let's talk about

Kristin.

The design itself, the

color, and then the actual

fabric and how to execute it, it

never came together at all.

It looks like she had no

plan.

The hat looks summery.

It looks happy.

And the fabric does not look

happy.

And just because it has strong

pink in it doesn't make it

happier.

This was not joyous.

Any positives?

Yeah, I think she has some--

brings a different element.

She has a talent for her

aesthetic.

Okay, let's talk about April.

She's got the triple-panty

problem, which I think the idea

is ridiculous, quite frankly.

But the jacket I didn't think

was that bad.

Potentially, if it was all

made perfectly, potentially,

it's fine, but it is their

moment to shine rather than

blend.

There's something not

working.

I have to say the only thing

that I like about April is she

made a top and pants.

Even though it didn't work.

But she di't go for the little

dress.

You know, which is more of a

safe thing.

Okay, let's talk about the

designs that we did like.

Let's talk about Michael c.

There's something very

effortless about Michael c's

design.

You know, the colors, the

pulling in that shimmer from

the hat, the color of her hair,

lipstick, just was really

perfect.

I think so too.

I think Michael c really

managed to pull the whole

thing together without it

matching.

I think in mood, in texture,

in color...

That is the most cohesive.

Yes.

You know, I mean, it all kind

of converged and worked.

We also liked Valerie's

dress.

There's nothing offensive

about it.

But it's not the most stylish of

combinations, personally.

We liked it, didn't we?

I liked it.

I liked the bolero.

I think it gave it a little

pop of happiness, because it is

quite severe.

And it's flirty, but it's still

a little hard and cool on the

top with the white.

You know, I actually liked

the fact that it looked

polished, it looked well-made,

it looked well-tailored.

It was well-made, and it was

well-constructed.

I think in this instance

I'm happy that she didn't do a

black chiffon and lace gown.

Yes.

Let's talk about

Michael drummond.

I really love the top.

There's something very simple

but complicated.

The color of that skirt, it's

lovely.

It's different.

It has an originality that I

haven't seen everywhere.

And how he used the materials

and made the fabrications in a

day, it's impressive.

He definitely played with a

lot of different volumes and

with different textures.

I think that the pleating

that he did on the orange skirt,

not only did it give you texture

and dimension, it also did

something great for her body.

He's obviously talented.

So we've made our decision?

Yeah.

Okay, let's bring them back

out.

The six of you had the highest

and the lowest scores.

One of you will be named the

winner, and one of you will be

out.

One of you ll be named the

winner, and one of you will be

out.

Valerie, you're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Michael costello...

You picked the perfect

silhouette and material, which

made the dress look impeccable

and effortless.

Michael drummond, your look was

gorgeous.

It was sophisticated, sharp, and

architectural.

Michael costello...

Congratulations, you are the

winner of this challenge.

Really?

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

You will also have immunity

for the next challenge.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

I cried, and I could cry

right now, I'm so--you have no

idea.

I felt like I won the whole

season.

Hi.

Is it you?

I won.

Yay.

I almost cried, I was so

excited.

What the ?

Oh, my God, I said it.

What a feeling.

Winning this challenge, I think

it validates me here to the

other designers, and they see

Michael is capable of, you know,

making a dress.

I bust out a whole collection

in a half a day.

Right.

I feel like he is a

replicator.

He's not a visionary.

I want to celebrate.

I want to go out tonight.

Like, really, Michael c on

the top and winning?

And me and Gretchen not even

being on there?

Seriously. Seriously.

Michael drummond, you're in.

You can leave the runway.

Christopher.

You're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Ya--yay?

They can't send you home.

You're too fabulous.

Yeah, there was no way you

were going home for that

beautiful outfit.

No way.

And you're such a handsome

boy.

Don't use taffeta.

We were shocked, 'cause when

you were out there, we're all

in here going, "you were in the

top with these guys."

Oh, no. No, no, no.

I was not in the top.

Kristin...

April...

One of you will be out.

Kristin, you had one of the

most fantastic hats to work

with.

And your mostly black dress was

disappointing.

It was not complementary to the

joyful spirit of the hat.

Also the fit was unflattering.

April, your look confused us.

The triple-panty was completely

unflattering and too

matchy-matchy to your hat.

You had a wow hat to work with.

And you gave us a blah outfit.

Kristin...

I'm sorry. You're out.

April, that means you're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

That's a smile.

That's a smile.

Are you in?

Are you in?

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

I'm not ready to lose you

yet, baby.

I'm wearing this tonight

then.

Oh, gosh, that's gonna be...

You and I...

Bottom two twice.

We cannot...

We cannot...

Alejandro, no more.

>>Auf wiedersehen.

All the best to you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thanks, Michael.

I'm sad that I have to leave,

but I'm so happy to really get

back to the real world.

Yeah, I'm relieved.

I'm relieved--I'm relieved to--

it was my time to go.

Don't look like that.

Well, sit down.

Sit down.

No, but it was really great,

you know, just meeting you all.

I think you all are so talented.

And I'm so happy for you.

Thank you, babe.

I'm really happy for you.

Thank you, babe.

Hi.

Hi, Tim.

Tim!

How are you doing?

Kristin.

Oh, Tim.

Mwah.

So I have to send you to the

workroom.

Yes.

To clean up your space.

Yes.

Okay?

Bye, Kristin.

Bye, Kristin.

Bye, honey.

This was a great experience,

and I'm really happy that I got

to be on here.

And I'm very confident in my

own abilities.

You know, it's not the end for

me.

I mean, this is just the

beginning.

That was the worst day of my

life.

That was the worst day of my

entire life.

If I'm in the bottom one more

time, I'm seriously gonna

seam-rip my Face off.

Yay.

Wait a second, we got to talk

about the winner here.

Michael c?

I was so Surprised.

I thought he was in the bottom.

I saw his dress.

It was like a total mermaid

thing.

It was hideous.

I saw it.

He asked me my opinion.

It looked like mae West.

Congratulations on your win.

I know. Shocking.

But well-deserved.

It was two handkerchiefs

ruched on a piece of cord and

wrapped around.

Philip treacy loved my dress.

That's so awesome.

I just don't like

Michael costello's aesthetic.

Now we're gonna have to hear

about it for days.

This apartment needs three

damn winners, okay?

Deal.

Next time on

Project Runway...

For this challenge, you will

be working in two teams of six.

All those egos over there

just gonna be buttin' heads.

This is gonna be gathered.

I'm lost.

Come on, man.

, I'm Tired.

Tell us what you want to do,

and then we'll figure out how

it all works

no, that's not how a team

challenge works.

It has no design.

The colors are ghastly.

who is the weakest designer

in your group?

Someone's going down.

That's the truth.
