Project Runway: All Stars (2012) s04e08 Episode Script
Making a Splash
PREVIOUSLY ON PROJECT RUNWAY: ALL STARS YOU'LL DESIGN OUTFITS FOR TWO SINGLES ABOUT TO GO ON THEIR FIRST DATE.
THAT MEANS WE'RE DRESSING A MAN.
MAYBE I SHOULD DO MENSWEAR.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT I CAN DO.
AT FIRST, I WAS GONNA DO THE MENSWEAR, BUT THEN THERE WAS SOME SKEPTICISM.
IT'S SEXY, AND IT'S SOPHISTICATED AT THE SAME TIME.
COOL.
I LOVE THIS HIGH NECK.
IT'S ALMOST ECCLESIASTICAL AND NAUTICAL, ON A YACHT.
HA! I'M A HUGE FAN OF HEATHER GREY.
TO MIX IT WITH THAT LILAC, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.
THE WINNER THIS WEEK IS FABIO.
[bleep.]
.
THIS FABRIC LOOKS LIKE A PAIR OF AMAZING PAJAMAS.
HE TOLD YOU TO MAKE HIM NOTHING, AND YOU MADE HIM NOTHING.
BANANA REPUBLIC IS WHAT THAT COULD BE.
HELEN AND JUSTIN, WE WERE UNHAPPY WITH BOTH OF YOUR LOOKS, BUT YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL IN CREATING CHEMISTRY WITH BOTH OF YOUR SINGLES, SO WE ARE GONNA GIVE YOU BOTH A SECOND CHANCE.
FROM PROJECT RUNWAY ARE BACK.
AND THIS TIME THE COMPETITION IS BIGGER THAN EVER.
EACH WEEK, THEIR SKILLS ARE TESTED TO THE LIMIT, AS THEY COMPETE FOR THE LARGEST PRIZE IN RUNWAHISTORY.
WHO WILL BE CUT? AND WHO WILL HAVE IT ALL SEWN UP? THIS IS PROJECT RUNWAY: ALL STARS.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICHELLE.
[all cheering.]
TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! THIRTY-SIXY.
SO WE'RE HAVING COFFEE AT GOTHAM WEST MARKET.
LOOK AT THE NEWSPAPER.
JUSTIN NOTICES THAT ALYSSA MILANO IS ON THE COVER OF USA TODAY.
WHOA! OH.
"ALYSSA MILANO MAKES A SPLASH? PROJECT RUNWAY: ALL STAR DESIGNERS HEAD OUT FOR SOME FUN IN THE SUN"? ARE YOU GUYS READY TO FIND OUT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT? YES.
YEAH, LET'S GO.
I'M BRINGING THIS PAPER.
[laughs.]
HELLO, GOOD MORNING.
HI.
GOOD MORNING.
I SEE THE USA TODAY HEADLINE LED YOU HERE.
I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE PRESIDENT OF USA TODAY TRAVEL, JOHN PETERS.
all: HI! HI, DESIGNERS.
AT USA TODAY TRAVEL, WE PROVIDE TOOLS AND INFORMATION TO HELP TRAVELERS MAKE THE MOST OF THEIR TRIP.
FROM PLANNING AND BOOKING TO EXPERIENCING AND SHARING, WE GIVE READERS WHAT THEY NEED TO PERSONALIZE THEIR LIFESTYLE AND THEIR TRAVEL DESTINATION.
AND BECAUSE NO TRAVEL EXPERIENCE IS COMPLETE WITHOUT JUST THE RIGHT WARDROBE, YOUR CHALLENGE IS TO CREATE ELEGANT RESORT WEAR SUITABLE FOR A GLAMOROUS GETAWAY.
OKAY.
[clapping.]
RESORT WEAR CAN GO DAY TO NIGHT, CAN BE BEACHWEAR, EVENING WEAR, IT CAN BE ANYTHING.
YOUR BUDGET IS $150, AND AS EXTRA MOTIVATION, USA TODAY IS PROVIDING A SPECIAL PRIZE.
YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT THAT, JOHN? WELL, USA TODAY WILL PUBLISH A PHOTO STORY AND INTERVIEW WITH THE WINNING DESIGNER AND THEIR LOOK.
USA TODAREACHES MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DAILY, SO THIS IS EXPOSURE THAT NO MONEY CAN BUY.
AND WE'LL OFFER THE WINNER A CUSTOMIZED VACATION GETAWAY TO THE CARIBBEAN.
WHOO! UGH! WE NEED A VACATION.
VACATION! WE NEED A VACATION, JOHN.
OH, MY GOD.
OKAY, DESIGNERS, THIS IS A BIG PRIZE, SO LET'S UP THE ANTE WITH AN ALL STARS TWIST.
YOU MUST ALSO DESIGN A SWIMSUIT TO GO UNDER YOUR OUTFIT.
I'VE NEVER MADE SWIMSUITS, SO THIS IS REALLY A CHALLENGE ON TOP OF ANOTHER CHALLENGE.
I'VE NEVER DONE SWIMSUITS.
I HAVE NOT MADE SWIMWEAR BEFORE, SO I'M HOPING IT WILL PAN OUT FOR THE BEST.
MY LAST LINE WAS ALL SWIMWEAR, BUT THE FIRST PROBABLY TEN I MADE WERE [bleep.]
AWFUL.
THERE'S ONE LAST THING.
TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE, YOU'RE GOING TO BE RANDOMLY ASSIGNED A NEW MODEL.
WHEN YOU DESIGN FOR ONE MODEL ALL THE TIME, SHE BECOMES YOUR MUSE.
BUT I LOVE MY GIRL! WE KNOW THEIR BODIES.
WE'RE ACCUSTOMED TO THE FITTINGS, AND NOW I DON'T KNOW WHO I'M WORKING WITH.
NOW, MOST SWIMSUITS ARE MADE OF LYCRA, SO TO HELP YOU, WE'VE CONVENIENTLY PLACED ALL THE SWATCHES UNDER THE WATER JUST FOR YOU.
NO, NO, NO.
[laughs.]
BABY GIRL'S NOT GETTING HER HAIR WET FOR NOBODY.
WAIT A MINUTE.
DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT WE WERE GONNA MAKE YOU STRIP TO DO IT? YES.
DON'T WORRY.
WE WOULD NOT DO THAT TO YOU.
THANK YOU.
INSTEAD, I'VE CALLED IN A FEW FRIENDS TO HELP.
OH.
COME ON OUT, BOYS.
[applause.]
OKAY.
OH! OOH.
GOOD JOB.
[laughs.]
THE ALL STARS POOL BOYS ARE HERE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR SWATCH SELECTION.
POOL BOYS.
FORGET THE CHALLENGE BECAUSE POOL BOYS.
THE BOYS WILL SWIM IN FOR YOUR LYCRA AND THEN CLIMB OUT OF THE POOL TO SHOW YOU THE FABRIC UP CLOSE.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SELECTION, YOU JUST SEND THEM BACK IN.
THERE'S NO TIME RESTRICTION.
OH.
WE COULD DO THIS ALL DAY? [both laughing.]
I'M HOPING MY FABRIC IS ALL THE WAY IN THE END OF THE POOL, SO I CAN SEE HIM SWIM AND SEE HIS PRETTY HAIR GLISTEN IN THE WATER.
ARE YOU READY? YES.
[whistle blows.]
TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRTS! TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRTS! [all cheering and laughing.]
OH, MY GOD.
[all screaming and laughing.]
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICHELLE.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! [all screaming and laughing.]
OOH, NO, NO, NO, NO.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
OH, MY GOD, I LOVE IT.
OKAY, OKAY.
THANK YOU! FIND ME A GOOD ONE.
FIND ME A GOOD ONE.
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT I SEE IS A ZIGZAG PRINT.
IT'S YELLOW AND BLACK, AND IT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT'S REALLY GRAPHIC.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS MUDDLED AND CHEESY.
OH, I LIKE IT.
THERE'S A REASON IT'S SPEAKING TO ME.
I WILL KEEP IT.
THAT'S COOL.
I CHOOSE THIS YELLOW AND BLACK PRINT.
IT'S VERY GRAPHIC.
AND THEN I LOOK AROUND, AND I SEE THAT MICHELLE IS USING THE SAME FABRIC, AND IF MICHELLE USING IT, I'M GONNA SWITCH.
WHAT ABOUT THIS RED ONE? OKAY, RIGHT HERE, EH? I CHOOSE THIS CAMOUFLAGE PRINT.
IT'S VERY, VERY DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE, AND I THINK IT MIGHT BE RISKY.
OH, I LOVE IT.
I JUST HOPE THE JUDGES WILL REACT IN A POSITIVE WAY.
IT LOOKS GOOD WITH THE BLACK, LIKE, THE PIPING.
I LIKE IT WITH THE BLACK.
YES, I LOVE THIS.
THIS IS PERFECT.
I DECIDE TO GO WITH THIS FEATHER PRINT THAT HAS A LOT OF COLORS.
IT'S A LITTLE BRIGHT, BUT SPEWS "VACATION.
" KEVIN, CAN YOU DO A BACKSTROKE, PLEASE? [both laughing.]
WE HAVE TO SKETCH.
[laughs.]
THANK YOU.
THANKS, BOYS.
I'M THINKING ROCK AND ROLL, RELAXED, IBIZA.
I'VE DECIDED TO COME UP WITH A REALLY SIMPLE SILHOUETTE.
THE PATTERN ALONE IS ALREADY COMPLICATED AND BUSY.
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A REALLY BUSY SWIMSUIT.
LAST WEEK, THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY CAN BUY MY LOOK AT A CHEAP DEPARTMENT STORE, SO I WILL MAKE SURE THAT THIS WEEK, YOU CANNOT FIND IT IN ANY STORE.
IT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE CUSTOM MADE.
THE SWIMWEAR WILL BE A ONE-PIECE WITH CUTOUT.
IN THE BACK, IT'S GONNA BE ALL BLACK STRIPES.
I'M TRANSFERRING THAT LOOK TO MY RESORT WEAR.
I'M GONNA MAKE A REALLY BOLD PIECE THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT FORGET.
MY GIRL IS JUST A MIAMI GIRL.
FOR MY RESORT WEAR, I'M DOING THIS MATTE, BEADED GREAT TUNIC SHAPE, AND I WANT TO DO A SUPER-LOW-PLUNGING SWIMSUIT.
I THINK IT'S GONNA BE EDGY AND ROCKY, AND THAT'S THE KIND OF GIRL I AM.
I WANT TO GO FOR SOMETHING REALLY BRIGHT AND COLORFUL AND PRETTY, JUST BECAUSE, TO ME, THAT'S VACATION.
I'M THINKING, WITH MY BATHING SUIT, I'M GONNA PAY HOMAGE TO BAYWATCH AND DO THIS SUPER-HIGH CUT, RUNNING-DOWN-THE-BEACH TYPE OF BATHING SUIT.
IT'S TIME TO GO TO MOOD.
WELL, I'M IN THE MOOD, SO LET'S HEAD OVER.
OH.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS, WE HAVE I NEED A PRETTY BASIC COLOR.
I DECIDED THAT MY GIRL IS GOING TO MYKONOS, GREECE, SO I'M GONNA CREATE THIS COLUMN DRESS, BUT I'LL MAKE IT MODERN.
I'M PAIRING IT WITH AN ASYMMETRICAL BATHING SUIT.
KNOWING THAT ISAAC MADE A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT ASYMMETRY AND HOW HE DOESN'T LIKE IT WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT PEOPLE DEFAULT TO ASYMMETRY BECAUSE IT'S THE EASIEST WAY TO MAKE A DRESS FIT.
IT'S A RISK, BUT I'M WILLING TO TAKE IT.
ONE OF THE BEST TRICKS OF THE TRADE WHEN YOU'RE DOING SWIMWEAR IS THIS FOLD-OVER ELASTIC.
IT'S A LOT EASIER TO FINISH THE EDGING.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE EVERYBODY ELSE IS, 'CAUSE THEY'RE GONNA NEED THIS STUFF.
NOTHING'S, LIKE, SPEAKING TO ME.
I'M NOT SKETCHING.
I DON'T REALLY NECESSARILY KNOW WHERE I'M GOING WITH WHAT I'M MAKING, BUT I WANT THIS TO LOOK LIKE SHE'S OUT FOR THE DAY, MAYBE ON HER YACHT.
THIS FEELS MORE ELEGANT AND SPECIAL.
OKAY.
LET'S GET 2 1/2 OF THAT.
I'M THINKING A LACE PANT AND A HIGH-WAIST BATHING-SUIT BOTTOM.
FIVE MINUTES, GUYS, FIVE MINUTES.
OH, YEAH, THAT'S ENOUGH.
I LIKE THE STRIPES.
THANK YOU.
THAT'S FOR THE CHIFFON.
all: THANK YOU, MOOD.
BYE.
BYE, SWATCH.
all: AW! WOW.
THAT DOES NOT GET ANY LESS CRAZY.
I'M STARTING TO CUT THE PATTERN AND GETTING EVERYTHING IN PLACE, AND I SEW IT TOGETHER.
IT DOES NOT READ EXPENSIVE TO ME.
I THINK ONCE YOU HAVE ALL THE STRAPS, IT WON'T LOOK LIKE THAT.
YEAH.
'CAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU ONLY HAVE THIS.
IT LOOKS LIKE A TANK TOP.
YEAH, IT LOOKS-- I REALIZE THE OTHER SIDE IS BLACK.
I JUST TOOK THE PRINT OUT AND STARTED WORKING WITH THAT RIGHT AWAY.
I THINK IT IS A RISK FOR ME TO GO THAT ROUTE.
HOWEVER, THE BATHING SUIT THAT I'M MAKING IS VERY GRAPHIC, AND IT'S NOT YOUR TYPICAL BATHING SUIT.
I LOVE THAT BLUE, SONJIA.
ME TOO.
RIGHT NOW I'M DRAPING THE PANT THAT WILL BE MADE OF LACE.
I DON'T NORMALLY DRAPE.
I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE FIT ON THE PANT IS, LIKE, IMPECCABLE.
WE DON'T WANT NO CRAZY CROTCHES HAPPENING ON THE RUNWAY.
NO CAMEL TOES.
ANY TOES-- NO, WE'RE JUST GONNA LEAVE THE TOES ALONE.
HAS ANYBODY MADE A SWIMSUIT BEFORE? NO.
THEY'RE REALLY A LOT EASIER THAN YOU THINK.
OH, YEAH.
YEAH.
THEY JUST STRETCH.
YOU JUST CUT OUT THE SHAPE PRETTY MUCH, RIGHT? THEY'LL JUDGE YOU-- HOW DO YOU FINISH IT? WELL, I BOUGHT ELASTIC THAT I FOLD OVER.
I THINK THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA HAVE THE MOST TROUBLE WITH THIS CHALLENGE ARE THOSE THAT ARE GONNA GET FRIGHTENED OR TERRIFIED BY THE SWIMSUIT, AND THAT'S JUST A PORTION OF THE CHALLENGE.
HOW WIDE IS IT? I HAVE A COUPLE THAT I BOUGHT.
I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE I'M GONNA USE.
DO YOU HAVE EXTRA ONES? MAYBE.
WE'LL SEE.
NOBODY EVER OFFERS ME ANYTHING.
THEY SEE A STRONG COMPETITOR.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
I'M ABOUT TO FINISH THE TOP.
IT'S TAKING ME FOREVER TO FINISH THE SWIMSUIT, AND I HAVE NOT EVEN STARTED MAKING THE RESORT WEAR YET.
HELEN, HOW DO YOU HEM A PLEAT? GOOD LUCK--THAT'S HOW YOU HEM IT.
[laughs.]
LAST WEEK, NO ONE WENT HOME, ALTHOUGH I'M PRETTY CERTAIN JUSTIN AND I BOTH SHOULD HAVE, AND I'VE BEEN IN THE BOTTOM BEFORE, SO I'M NOT TRYING TO LET THAT CREEP UP ON ME AGAIN.
YEAH, I'M ALL ABOUT THAT YOLO LIFE.
LET ME SEE THE ELASTIC.
I DON'T HAVE--I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE ANYTHING FOR YOU, HONESTLY.
NO, BUT LET ME SEE WHAT IT IS FOR THE FUTURE.
DMITRY ASKED ME FOR SOME ELASTIC, BUT WHAT I HAVE LEFT DOESN'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF STRETCH.
BUT I GOT THIS, TO USE EITHER THIS-- OH.
I HAVE A REGULAR ELASTIC, SO I COULD GET AWAY WITH IT, I THINK.
HI, DESIGNERS.
all: HI.
HOW ARE WE DOING? GOOD, GOOD.
SO USA TODAY HAVE OFFERED AN AMAZING PRIZE FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SO I WANT TO INTRODUCE TO YOU ALISON MAXWELL, WHO'S THE FASHION EDITOR THERE, AND SHE'S GONNA BE CO-MENTORING WITH ME TODAY.
THIS WOMAN KNOWS WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT, AND SO I'M EXCITED TO HEAR HER FEEDBACK.
HI, EVERYONE.
I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT YOUR GIRL AND WHERE SHE'S TRAVELING.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET STARTED.
SHE'S GOING TO IBIZA.
I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE, SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GIRLS WEAR THERE.
IT'S VERY CHIC, ELEGANT, BUT THERE IS THAT PARTY ATMOSPHERE, LETTING LOOSE.
AND IT'S NOT ALL-INCLUSIVE.
IT'S VERY EXCLUSIVE.
I'LL MAKE HER LOOK EXCLUSIVE OR MAYBE CHANGE HER FLIGHT TO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
[laughter.]
I'M THINKING THE SOUTH OF FRANCE.
I LIKE THIS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S APPROPRIATE.
WHY COULD THIS NOT BE APPROPRIATE? IT'S A SWIMSUIT.
IT'S GONNA SHOW SOME FLESH.
YEAH, YEAH, DEFINITELY.
AS LONG AS WE'VE GOT NO NIPPLES HANGING OUT, THEN WE'RE ALL GOOD.
IT'S SUCH A FUN TEASE WITH THE LITTLE TRIM.
I LOVE IT.
OH, THANK YOU.
SO I WAS THINKING EUROPE, MYKONOS.
I LOVE THE PRINT.
I MEAN, I LOVE IT, BUT LOOKING AROUND THE ROOM-- NO.
DON'T LOOK AROUND THE ROOM.
THIS REMINDS ME OF HOW A BOND GIRL WOULD DRESS COMING OUT OF THE WATER.
ZANNA LOVES IT, AND I THINK DMITRY'S LOOK IS ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS.
INITIALLY, I WAS THINKING SHE'S, LIKE, ON HER YACHT IN THE MALDIVES.
SHE'S KIND OF BALLING MAYBE.
THE LACE WOULD BE HERE.
MM-HMM.
THEN I HAVE THIS DENIM-Y FABRIC.
I DO WANT YOU TO REMEMBER TO MAKE IT AS CHIC AS POSSIBLE.
MM-HMM.
YOU'RE PUTTING DENIM WITH SOMETHING THAT'S QUITE LUX.
MM-HMM.
I HAVE TWO IDEAS GOING HERE.
ONE IS REALLY LONG FRINGE OR JUST A VERY SIMPLE TEXTURAL BREAKUP.
WELL, YOU KNOW, FRINGE IS GREAT FOR DANCING.
YEAH.
NOT SO MUCH FOR SWIMMING, THOUGH.
NOT SO MUCH FOR SWIMMING.
NO.
I THINK THIS IS REALLY PRETTY.
WELL, IT TAKES IT AWAY FROM CAUTION TAPE RIGHT.
INTO YEAH.
[laughing.]
A NICE, FINISHED SWIMSUIT.
I REMEMBER READING IN MARIE CLAIRE YEAH, GO FIGURE.
HER WORST NIGHTMARE WOULD BE TO DESIGN SWIMWEAR.
OH.
YEAH.
IT LOOKS HEAVY.
I DON'T HATE IT, THOUGH, FOR THAT REASON.
OKAY.
JUST OKAY? UGH.
THAT SWIMSUIT IT MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE BIT BORING.
REALLY? FEELS A LITTLE COMPLICATED TO ME, TOO, WITH THE TIE AT THE WAIST.
IT'S A BIT CONSERVATIVE FOR YOU--THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
YOU THINK SO? YEAH.
GOOD LUCK.
THIS IS ACTUALLY THE PRINT THAT I GOT TODAY OKAY.
AND IT'S GONNA BE REALLY HIGH CUT, LIKE BAYWATCH, SUPER SEXY.
OKAY.
I JUST PICTURED HER IN A REALLY BEAUTIFUL ISLAND.
I THINK YOU HAVE TO REALLY FOCUS ON THE GLAMOUR ASPECT.
YEAH.
AND I THINK ALSO YOU WANT TO BE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT EASE MM-HMM.
AND FEELING RELAXED.
PERFECT.
ALL RIGHT.
GOOD LUCK.
THANK YOU.
THANKS.
OKAY, ALL-STARS, REMEMBER, THIS IS ABOUT A VERY ELEGANT, FABULOUS TRIP, AND THE PRIZE IS PRETTY FABULOUS TOO.
YES, LET'S NOT FORGET THAT THE WINNER HERE WILL APPEAR IN USA TODAY, SO BE SURE TO GIVE IT YOUR ALL.
GOOD LUCK.
all: THANK YOU.
BYE.
DOES THAT MEAN THE MODELS ARE COMING IN SOON? THAT WOULD SUCK, 'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE A SWIMSUIT TO FIT ON HER.
I'M SO FAR FROM BEING AT THAT PLACE, IT'S LIKE, I CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH IT.
AHH! HI.
HEY, LADIES.
HI.
[laughs.]
WE GOT A FEW THINGS TO TRY ON, 'CAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I'M FITTING YOU.
OKAY, TURN AROUND.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WORKING WITH MY NEW MODEL, AND I HAVE TO LEARN HER BODY TYPE.
HER TORSO IS MUCH LONGER THAN AN AVERAGE TORSO.
SO ALL THE LINE IS GONNA BE LIKE THIS.
OOH.
I PUT THIS TOGETHER IN TWO SECONDS.
I'M GONNA GO TO THE SEWING ROOM.
I WILL BE RIGHT, RIGHT BACK.
HOW TALL ARE YOU? 5'11".
YOU ARE? YEAH.
OKAY.
FOR THE JUMPSUIT, IF IT'S TOO TIGHT, IT'S GONNA, LIKE, HIKE AND PULL, OR IF IT'S TOO LONG, IT'S GONNA BE A REALLY BAGGY CROTCH, SO I'M KIND OF JUST, LIKE, WINGING IT AT THIS POINT AND HOPING THAT IT KIND OF JUST ALL LINES UP.
OKAY.
SUPER BIG, AND STOMPY STOMPY.
THAT IS NOT GRACEFUL.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE.
FOR ME TO MAKE A BATHING SUIT IN ABOUT TWO MINUTES, IT ACTUALLY FITS REALLY GOOD.
I WANT TO MAKE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO IT, BUT I'M LIKE, "WOW, I STILL GOT IT.
" THIS LOOKS GOOD.
YEAH.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT.
YEAH.
OKAY, COOL, I LOVE IT.
THE SWIMSUIT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL ON HER, AND THEN I MOVE ON TO MY RESORT WEAR.
GONNA FIGURE OUT THIS CRAZYTHING.
BECAUSE MY MODEL HAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PROPORTIONS FROM MY PREVIOUS MODEL, IT DOESN'T WORK ON HER BODY.
I CAN'T SAVE THIS DRESS, SO I'M GONNA MAKE A COMPLETELY NEW DRESS WITHIN TWO OR THREE HOURS.
UGH, WHATEVER.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT [indistinct.]
ALL RIGHTY.
BYE, LADIES.
OH, MY GOD, WHERE DO I START? MY MODEL IS HUGE.
SHE'S 6'1".
[laughs.]
AND I COULDN'T FIT THE DRESS I MADE, SO JUST ABANDONED IT, BECAUSE I COULDN'T DEAL WITH IT.
THE EMOTIONS I'M GOING THROUGH, I CAN'T DESCRIBE.
I MEAN, I STILL KEEP MYFACE, BUT INSIDE, I'M READY TO BLOW UP.
I NEED MORE TIME.
IT IS THE END OF THE DAY, AND THE ONLY THING THAT I NEED TO DO IS THE TOP OF THE OUTERWEAR, WHICH HASN'T BEEN DONE BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF THE PLEATED FABRIC, AND I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT I'M GONNA DO ABOUT THAT.
FIVE MINUTES, GUYS, FIVE MINUTES.
OH, GOD! OH, MY GOSH, OH, MY GOSH.
[humming.]
[indistinct.]
OH, MY GOSH.
I SEWED--I MUST HAVE TWISTED MY TOP BEFORE I SEWED IT ON.
I JUST SEWED MY TOP TO MY BOTTOM, AND MY ZIPPER, AND I REALIZED THAT I TWISTED THE TOP PORTION OF MY JUMPSUIT BEFORE I ATTACHED IT TO THE BOTTOM.
IS THAT THE BACK ATTACHED TO THE FRONT? THE WHOLE SIDE IS TWISTED, AND NOW I NEED TO UNDO EVERYTHING AND REDO IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW.
HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN? OH, MY GOSH.
SLEEP DEPRIVATION, THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENS.
TIME WASN'T ALLOTTED FOR, LIKE, SUCH A BIG MISTAKE.
WHEW, OKAY.
TOMORROW MORNING, I JUST HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO.
TIME IS UP! ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO.
I'M BURNED.
IS THE STEAMER ON? I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GONNA FIX THAT SIDE.
I HAVE TO FINISH MY JUMPSUIT AND MAKE A BATHING SUIT, AND-- I JUST--THERE'S JUST NO TIME FOR IT.
OH, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? I NEED TO FINISH MY DRESS AND A BIKINI BOTTOM.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW? I'VE NEVER DONE A BIKINI BOTTOM BEFORE, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS IS GONNA TAKE ME.
AH! EVERYONE'S, LIKE, LAST MINUTE RUSHING AROUND.
IT'S THE TIME WHERE WE ALL MAKE OUR MISTAKES.
EW, THAT'S NOT GOOD.
THIS HAND SEWING RIGHT NOW IS BLOWING MY MIND.
THE SKIRT THAT I MADE, IT HAS TWO TIERS, AND THE SECOND TIER, THE OUTER LAYER, WAS PRETTY LONG, AND SINCE IT'S A RESORT WEAR, I WANTED KEEP IT LIGHT, SO I DECIDED TO MAKE THAT TIER SHORTER, AND USE THE REMAINING FABRIC FROM THAT TIER TO MAKE THE TOP.
HI, MIMI.
HI.
I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
HI.
I ABANDONED THE DRESS THAT WE TRIED YESTERDAY.
REMEMBER? SO COMPLETELY, AND I MADE JUST ANOTHER ONE IN TWO HOURS.
LET ME JUST FINISH THIS.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S--COME HERE IN THE MIRROR.
OH, MY GOD, IT LOOKS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD.
OH, GOOD.
HOW'S YOUR FITTING? IT'S, LIKE, HARD, BECAUSE A JUMPSUIT, YOU HAVE TO FIT THE WHOLE THING.
NO, I KNOW, THE JUMPSUITS ARE HARD.
ALL RIGHT, SIDNEY, LET'S GO HIT THE CHI HAIR CARE SALON.
MWAH, NICE TO SEE YOU.
WELCOME BACK.
KIND OF A SLEEK BUN.
TO THE BACK, BUT THE BUN I WANT TO BE KIND OF MESSY.
MAYBE JUST WET LOOK.
SO MAYBE WET AND A LITTLE BIT OF HEIGHT IN THE BACK.
WANT TO DO, LIKE, A CROWN BRAID.
YEAH, ON BOTH SIDES? YUP, PERFECT.
MY IDEA AT THE MARY KAY DESIGN STUDIO TODAY IS JUST TO GO FULL ON OUT WITH THIS CRAZY MAKEUP.
ACCENTUATE THE BROWS AND GIVE HER LASHES SO LONG THAT SHE CAN'T EVEN OPEN HER EYES.
I WANT TO KEEP HER NICE AND GOLDEN AND GLOWY, BUT REALLY NATURAL.
MAYBE I'M THINKING A LITTLE ICE COCO.
OH, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL! I JUST WANT TO HAVE A REALLY CLEAN, SUN-KISSED LOOK.
A LITTLE BIT OF APRICOT TWIST.
REALLY PRETTY.
OH, YEAH, IT'S REALLY PRETTY.
I LIKE IT A LOT.
[whistling.]
LET ME GO FINISH HER SUIT.
FROM THE QVC ACCESSORY WALL, I GRAB THESE AMAZING WEDGES.
THEY HAVE A CORK SOLE AND THIS CUTE, LITTLE TASSEL, AND I THINK, "WHAT SCREAMS, LIKE, HIGH END RESORT MORE THAN DETAILS LIKE THAT?" OOH, HOW SHORT DID WE GO? [laughs.]
MICHELLE'S LOOK LOOKS MESSY.
THE WAY SHE DRAPED THINGS AND THINGS ARE, LIKE, TUCKED, IT'SIT'S NOT CUTE.
TEN MINUTES, GUYS, TEN MINUTES.
[gasps.]
IS THAT MY MAKEUP? OH, NO.
OH, MY GOSH.
WELL, I'LL COVER IT WITH THE NECKLACE.
YEAH.
I LOVE SAMANTHA'S JUMPSUIT, BUT HER SWIMSUIT, IT'S JUST NOT GOOD.
à GORGEOUS! OH, MY GOD, OH, MY GOD.
OKAY.
[chuckles.]
YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
QUICKLY, QUICKLY.
THANK YOU.
COME ON, GIRL.
WALK AND TALK.
YOUR BUTT LOOKS AWESOME.
YES.

HI, DESIGNERS.
[all greeting.]
THIS WEEK, WE JOINED FORCES WITH USA TODAY TO CHALLENGE YOU TO CREATE ELEGANT RESORT WEAR FOR A GLAMOROUS GETAWAY.
YOU ALSO DESIGNED AN ATTENTION GRABBING SWIMSUIT FROM LYCRA FOUND IN THE BOTTOM OF A POOL.
DID YOU HAVE FUN? OH, YEAH.
YEAH.
WELL, LET'S MEET OUR JUDGES.
FIRST, CO-FOUNDER AND DESIGNER OF LUXURY BRAND MARCHESA, GEORGINA CHAPMAN.
HI, DESIGNERS.

PLEASE WELCOME NIGEL BARKER.
WHOO! HI, DESIGNERS.
[applause.]
THANK YOU.
EASY ON THE EYES.
UH, YEAH.
[laughter.]
SO TONIGHT, YOUR MODELS ARE REVEALING YOUR SWIMSUITS UNDER YOUR RESORT WEAR LIVE ON THE RUNWAY.
SO WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? LET'S DO IT.
GOOD LUCK.
all: THANK YOU.
SHE LOOKS AMAZING, AND IT'S SHOWING A LITTLE HINT OF THE BATHING SUIT, BUT NOT TOO MUCH.
GOD, SHE LOOKS GOOD.
THE DRESS AND HOW IT MOVES AND HOW IT SPARKLES, I LOVE MY LOOK.
I LOVE THE SWIMSUIT.
IT'S LOUD, AND YET AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK REALLY MODERN.
I KNOW I'M TAKING A RISK USING THE DENIM WITH THE LACE, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE JUDGES WILL EITHER LOVE OR HATE GET IT, GIRL.
BUT IT STANDS OUT SO MUCH ON THE RUNWAY, AND I FEEL LIKE I MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE OF WINNING.
I LOVE HOW IT MOVES.
EVERY SINGLE DESIGNER IS LOOKING AT THE DRESS, SAYING, "OH, MY GOD, THAT LOOKS AMAZING.
" MM-HMM.
IF I WERE EVER TO HAVE A RESORT COLLECTION, THIS WOULD BE IT.
IT WOULD BE LACE AND LIGHTLY AND JUST PRETTY AND, "OH, PEEKABOO! LOOK, MY BIKINI'S ON UNDER IT.
" WELCOME TO BRAZIL.
IT MOVES REALLY BEAUTIFULLY.
THESE FABRICS ARE REALLY LUX, AND I REALLY LIKE THE OVERALL LOOK.
MY LOOK IS TOTALLY ELEGANT VACATION LOOK.
BUT I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I'M SEEING SO MUCH BOOTY ON THIS RUNWAY.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HIGH CUT, BUT IT MIGHT AS WELL BE A THONG RIGHT NOW, AND I JUST CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT.
FOR MY DRESS, I'M SHOWING A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF ASYMMETRY.
AND FOR MY BATHING SUIT, I'M SHOWING A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF ASYMMETRY.
DESIGNERS, THANK YOU FOR A REVEALING AND VERY SEXY RUNWAY.
FABIO AND HELEN YOU'RE BOTH SAFE.
OH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
THANK YOU.
YOU CAN LEAVE THE RUNWAY.
[whispering.]
GOOD LUCK.
[whispering.]
THANK YOU.
[dramatic music.]
à ONE OF YOU IS THE WINNER THIS WEEK, AND ONE OF YOU WILL BE GOING HOME.
DMITRY, LET'S START WITH YOU.
I WAS INSPIRED BY GREECE, AND I WANTED TO GIVE HER SOMETHING EFFORTLESS AND VERSATILE.
SHE CAN CHANGE HER SHOES AND GO TO THE BEACH, OR PUT THE HEELS ON AND GO TO THE PARTY.
LET'S SEE THE BIG REVEAL.
OKAY, LET'S START WITH ISAAC.
I REALLY LOVE THIS.
I THINK IT'S EXEMPLARY OF ASYMMETRY.
IT DOESN'T LOOK RANDOM, IT LOOKS SPECIFIC, SO CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU.
I DON'T LOVE SILK CHARMEUSE, BUT WHAT SAVES IT IS THE COLOR.
THE COLOR IS RAVISHING.
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THE SILK WAS ACTUALLY THE CONTRADICTION OF THE CAMO UNDERNEATH.
SO YOU GAVE US AN EVENING-ESQUE LOOK, AND IT REALLY WORKS ON HER.
I LIKE THE ASYMMETRY.
I THINK YOU COULD'VE WATCHED THE HEM.
I THINK THE SWIMSUIT IS REALLY NICE, IT'S ORIGINAL.
THIS PARTICULAR SWIMSUIT, FOR ME, THE CUT IS PERFECT.
MAKE A GREAT COVER SHOT.
WELL DONE.
THANK YOU.
HI, JAY.
I WANTED TO DESIGN A PIECE FOR TRAVEL TO IBIZA.
IT'S A MAXI DRESS THAT SHE COULD WEAR AT NIGHT TO DINNER, AND THEN GOING OUT, TAKE THE DRESS OFF AND GO SWIMMING IN THE DIRTY WATERS OF IBIZA.
[laughs.]
OKAY, LET'S SEE THE SWIMSUIT.
I LOVED YOUR DRESS WHEN IT WALKED DOWN THE RUNWAY.
I THOUGHT IT HAD SUCH WONDERFUL MOVEMENT TO IT, BUT I LIKE THE BOTTOM OF YOUR DRESS MORE THAN THE TOP.
IT WAS--IT'S JUST A TOUCH TOO HEAVY.
SOMEHOW, THERE'S PLEATS THAT DON'T NEED TO BE THERE ON THE SIDE, AND THERE'S THIS LEATHER YOKE THAT SORT OF--IT RUINS IT.
AND THEN WHEN SHE REVEALED THIS BATHING SUIT, I THOUGHT, "WELL, THERE'S ANOTHER CRAZY MOMENT THAT HE HAD," YOU KNOW? JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PRINT NEXT TO THAT DEGRADE STRIPE.
AS FAR AS THE SWIMSUIT'S CONCERNED, YOU KNOW, THE BOTTOM, I THINK, IS A LITTLE TOO HIGH.
IT'S HARD, THAT LINE, WHEN IT CUTS RIGHT ON THE STOMACH BUTTON.
THE FABRIC REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING I'D PUT MY TODDLER BOY IN.
HMM.
HI, SAM.
WHEN I THOUGHT OF RESORT WEAR AND BEING ABOUT THE POOL, AND, LIKE, SEEING THE WATER, AND THE WATER'S ALWAYS SO BLUE, THAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU THINK ABOUT, I THOUGHT TO DO, LIKE, A WIDE-LEG PANT, A ONE-PIECE FOR TRAVELING PURPOSES, LIKE, JUST THROWING YOUR SWIMSUIT WITH IT.
TIME FOR THE BIG REVEAL, SAM.
LET'S SEE YOUR SWIMSUIT.
I LOVE A JUMPSUIT, AND I ALWAYS HAVE ONE IN RESORT.
IT TELLS A STORY, IT HAS ATTITUDE, SO WELL DONE FOR THINKING THAT THOUGHT.
AND THEN SHE TAKES IT OFF AND I GET FLASHDANCAND I'M LOST.
[both laughing.]
I HAVE TO BE HONEST.
I JUST GOT, LIKE, BAD '80s WHO'S THE BOSS? FLASHBACKS.
SAMANTHA.
[laughing.]
EXACTLY.
I JUST THINK THERE ARE, LIKE, TASTE CHOICES HERE ON THE BATHING SUIT, WHEREAS, LIKE, ON THE JUMPSUIT, YOU HIT A HOME RUN.
I LIKE THE COLOR SO MUCH, BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING NOT-SO-FLATTERING ABOUT THE FRONT OF THE JUMPSUIT.
IT SAGGED IN A FUNNY WAY THAT I THINK REALLY WRECKED SOME OF THE EFFECT OF THE VERY GOOD JUMPSUIT.
THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT, JUSTIN.
FOR THIS RESORT WEAR, I'M THINKING ABOUT GOING TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE, AND I JUST MADE A REALLY STRAIGHTFORWARD ENVELOPE DRESS.
AND THE BIG REVEAL.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A REALLY COHESIVE, CLASSY LOOK.
I REALLY UNDERSTAND THIS WOMAN.
I WANT TO BE THIS WOMAN.
WOW, JUSTIN, THIS IS GREAT.
THERE WAS A CHASTITY TO HER IN A KIND OF GRECIAN GODDESS SORT OF WAY, AND ALSO, DARLING, IT'S A BLACK SWIMSUIT.
IT LOOKS SO FRESH.
I ADORE IT.
CONGRATULATIONS.
THE BACK IS AMAZING.
I WOULD LITERALLY PHOTOGRAPH THIS FROM THE BACK YEAH.
LOOKING OVER HER SHOULDER, AND IT WOULD SELL.
LOVE YOUR CHOICE OF FABRIC, AND THAT BATHING SUIT IS JUST PRETTY PERFECT.
THANK YOU.
OKAY, MICHELLE.
SHE'S A MIAMI GIRL, AND SHE'S GOING FROM POOLSIDE, AND THROWING ON THIS FROCK ON TOP, CLIMBING INTO HER CONVERTIBLE, AND GOING DANCING.
OKAY, YOUR BIG REVEAL.
I LOVE THE SWIMSUIT, 'CAUSE I THINK IT'S A TEXTILE LAYERED ON TOP OF ANOTHER TEXTILE.
IS THAT RIGHT? THE PRINT I HAVE IS THIS CHARLIE BROWN ZIGZAG YELLOW AND BLACK, AND SO I ACTUALLY FOUND AN ELASTIC THAT I COULD STACK OVER TOP TO CHANGE THE PATTERN UP.
I THINK IT'S SORT OF THE BEST SWIMSUIT WE'VE SEEN TODAY, REALLY.
I LOVE THAT YOU DIDN'T TAKE THIS TRIANGLE UP TOO HIGH, AND THE STRAPS STARTED REALLY LOW.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY FRESH.
WHAT IS THAT LITTLE DETAIL IN THE FRONT? THAT'S-- IT'S THE SAME ELASTIC, JUST RIGHT THROUGH HERE.
IT REALLY CONTOURS THE BODY NICELY, IT PULLS THE WAIST IN.
HOWEVER, IN THE DRESS, I FEEL LIKE IT DID EVERYTHING A WOMAN DOESN'T WANT TO HAPPEN TO THEIR BODY.
THE PLEATS OR WHATEVER THEY WERE, THE WAY IT WAS CAUGHT JUST SIMPLY LOOKED TO ME AS IF SHE HAD CAUGHT IT IN HER UNDERWEAR.
OH, BOY, NIGEL, UGH! BUT WOW, WHAT A SWIMSUIT.
THANK YOU, MICHELLE.
THANK YOU.
SONJIA.
WHEN I THINK OF RESORT, I JUST THINK OF SOMETHING REALLY KIND OF EASY AND RELAXED, KIND OF KEEP IT SEMI-SEXY, BUT STILL FUNCTIONAL AND FUN.
LET'S SEE YOUR REVEAL.
MM.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL START WITH YOUR "PAJAMA" OUTFIT.
I LOVE THE PLACEMENT OF YOUR LACE, THAT'S SO IMPORTANT WHEN YOU HAVE A FABRIC LIKE THAT.
THANK YOU.
AND THOSE PANTS, OH, MY GOD, THOSE PANTS ARE INSANELY BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU.
I KNOW YOU LOVE THE PANTS, ISAAC, BUT FOR ME, THEY JUST WEREN'T LONG ENOUGH.
IT SEEMED TO SHORTEN HER.
WHAT I DIDN'T NECESSARILY LOVE WAS THE TRIMMING, THIS BIG PANEL OF WHAT IS IT, TAFFETA-- DENIM, ACTUALLY.
OH, IT'S DENIM.
MM-HMM.
HAD YOU JUST SHOWN US THE PANTS WITH THE SWIMSUIT-- BECAUSE THE TOP OF THE PAJAMA THING WASN'T MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS.
MM-HMM.
BUT LIKE, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW A BANDEAU THAT ACTUALLY FLATTERED A WOMAN'S ANATOMY.
NO, IT'S SO GOOD.
I'M SITTING HERE WONDERING WHY THEY DON'T MAKE STRAPLESS BRAS IN THIS SILHOUETTE.
IT'S THE MOST GENIUS THING EVER.
I CAN REALLY SEE BOTH THESE THINGS TRANSLATING INTO SUCH AN INTERESTING COLLECTION.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, DESIGNERS.
THE JUDGES AND I ARE GONNA DELIBERATE, AND WE'LL CALL YOU BACK.
OKAY.
HEY, GIRLS.
SO? AND THE FAIRY.
[laughs.]
YOU'RE ON THE BOTTOM.
YOU'RE ON THE BOTTOM.
YOU'RE ON THE TOP, YOU'RE ON THE TOP, YOU'RE ON THE TOP, I'M ON THE BOTTOM.
OH, REALLY? THEY EITHER LOVED A SWIMSUIT, OR THEY LOVED A DRESS.
YEAH.
SO IT WAS THE MOST KIND OF POSITIVE CRITIQUE OVERALL.
A LOT OF SKIN ON THE RUNWAY.
BUT NOT IN A GRATUITOUS WAY.
I WAS PROUD OF THEM.
NO, I THOUGHT IT WAS HANDLED VERY, VERY WELL.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MOST ACCESSIBLE DESIGNS.
LOVED SONJIA.
I SEE THOSE CLOTHES, AND THERE'S SOMETHING FRESH AND MODERN AND EXCITING.
I WANT TO SEE HER COLLECTION.
AND THE SWIMSUIT WAS SUPERB, AND REALLY ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC PIECES, SOMETHING THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS REALLY DONE, AND IT ALREADY LOOKED BRILLIANT.
THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THE USAGE OF THAT FABRIC AROUND THE MIDDLE.
THIS WAS AWKWARD.
AS SHE TURNED, THERE WERE A FEW BAD ANGLES.
CAN I JUST BRING UP JUSTIN? I LOVED THE WHOLE BLUE/BLACK THING, IT FELT FRESH TO ME, YOU KNOW? VERY.
YEAH.
IT WAS VERY ELEVATED, THE WHOLE LOOK.
THE WHOLE THING.
IT WAS SEXY, YET IT WAS CHIC AND COVERED UP.
I JUST THINK HE HAD WONDERFUL BALANCE THERE.
I LOVE HOW HE SAID, "I WENT FOR A SIMPLE ENVELOPE DRESS," EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS--IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS NOTHING SIMPLE ABOUT THAT.
NO, NO, NO.
SHOULD WE TALK ABOUT DMITRY? DMITRY KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK THIS WEEK, AND HERE WE ARE, CONSTANTLY WARNING THEM AGAINST ASYMMETRICAL HEMLINES RIGHT.
AND HE TOOK IT AND HE RAN WITH IT.
WHEN HE REVEALED THE CAMO SWIMSUIT, IT WAS WRONG, 'CAUSE IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SORT OF THE GREECE OR THE LOOK, BUT IT WORKED SO WELL-- AND COHESIVE.
COHESIVE.
VERY COHESIVE.
YEAH, REALLY COHESIVE.
SO DO WE HAVE A WINNER? OKAY, LET'S MOVE ON TO OUR LOWEST SCORING LOOKS.
SHOULD WE START WITH MICHELLE? MICHELLE IS HARD FOR ME, 'CAUSE I DO THINK THAT WAS THE BEST--ONE OF THE BEST SWIMSUITS.
THE SWIMSUIT IS UNBELIEVABLY GOOD.
I THOUGHT THE DRESS WAS-- WHAT WAS SHE THINKING? YOU MEAN THE PLEATS IN THE FRONT? YEAH, WHAT WAS THAT? IT LOOKED, AGAIN, LIKE A RANDOM WEIRDNESS.
AND I THINK YOU HAVE TO QUESTION, YOU KNOW, IF SHE DOESN'T GET THAT THAT'S WRONG, IF SHE SENDS IT DOWN LIKE THAT, THEN WHAT ON EARTH'S GOING ON? SO LET'S TALK ABOUT JAY.
I LIKED THE DRESS, ACTUALLY.
I LIKE THE WAY IT FLOWED, I LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKED, I THOUGHT IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
BUT THEN, HE ADDS THIS, LIKE, LEATHER YOKE THAT JUST MAKES THE WHOLE THING, LIKE, SORT OF SIT IN THIS BAD WAY.
SO HEAVY-HANDED.
I, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE SHOCK VALUE OF THE SWIMSUIT BEING DIFFERENT, BUT IT DIDN'T REALLY WORK.
IT HAD A HIGH WAIST, AND THEN ALL THE BLACK ACROSS THE BOOB.
AND THE BOTTOMS WERE SO UNFLATTERING.
LET'S TALK ABOUT SAM.
I DID THINK THE JUMPSUIT HAD A LOT OF MERIT.
YOU COULD SEE IT WALKING DOWN MIAMI BEACH.
AND THEN A NEON '80s HIGH LEGGED BATHING SUIT.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHO HER WOMAN IS OR WHO HER MUSE IS THERE.
NO, NOPE.
THE CROTCH, UGH.
THE CROTCH, NO.
YEAH, JUST THE WAY THE FABRIC'S CUT TOO, I MEAN, JUST THE WORST LINES WERE IN THE WORST PLACES.
YES! SO IT WAS, LIKE, INSTANT CAMEL TOE WHEN THERE ISN'T ANY NEED FOR IT.
ACTUALLY, I WASN'T GETTING CAMEL TOE, I WAS GETTING MOOSE KNUCKLE, FRANKLY, BUT-- [laughs.]
WHAT? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
YOU DIDN'T SEE IT? OH, MOOSE KNUCKLE.
[laughs.]
MOOSE KNUCKLE.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
I THINK WE KNOW WHO WE'RE SENDING HOME.
I THINK SO.
LET'S BRING THEM OUT.
[dramatic music.]
DESIGNERS, ONE OF YOU WILL BE IN USA TODAY TOMORROW WITH YOUR WINNING LOOK, AND SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE ELIMINATED TONIGHT.
DESIGNERS, LET'S FIND OUT THE RESULTS.
SONJIA, YOU'RE SAFE.
THANK YOU.
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
THANK YOU, GUYS.
JUSTIN, DMITRY, ONE OF YOU WILL BE IN USA TODAY TOMORROW WITH YOUR WINNING LOOK.
AND THAT DESIGNER IS [dramatic music.]
JUSTIN.
[applause.]
COMEBACK KID.
CONGRATULATIONS, JUSTIN.
THANK YOU.
AND, DMITRY, YOU JUST NEED TO FIND THAT EXTRA SOMETHING TO SCORE THE WIN.
CONGRATULATIONS, BOYS, WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
I THINK THE FACT THAT I WON IS A BIG DEAL, BECAUSE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE READ USA TODAY.
IT'S DEFINITELY A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO PUT A NAME OUT THERE, AND THE FREE VACATION I'LL TAKE THAT.
DID YOU WIN? [clapping.]
YES! YAY! GOOD JOB.
WE ALL KNEW IT.
GOOD JOB.
[laughs.]
RUNNER-UP AGAIN.
AND NOW, TO THE LOWEST SCORING DESIGNS.
MICHELLE, YOU HAD A LOW SCORE, BUT YOU ARE SAFE.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SWEETHEART.
YOU CAN LEAVE THE RUNWAY.
[dramatic music.]
à AND THAT LEAVES SAM AND JAY.
SAM, ALTHOUGH WE LIKE THE IDEA OF A JUMPSUIT FOR RESORT WEAR, YOURS WAS ILL-FITTING, AND WHEN IT CAME OFF, IT REVEALED A SWIMSUIT THAT LOOKED REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE, AND IT BORDERED ON OFFENSIVE.
SORRY.
JAY, WE LIKE THE WAY YOUR DRESS FLOWED, BUT YOU JUST TRIED TO INCORPORATE TOO MUCH INTO YOUR DESIGN.
YOU NEED TO LEARN THAT SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE.
SAM AND JAY, YOU ARE BOTH SUPER TALENTED DESIGNERS, BUT AS YOU KNOW, ONLY ONE OF YOU CAN STAY.
THE DESIGNER ELIMINATED TONIGHT IS [dramatic music.]
à SAM.
WHEW.
THAT MEANS YOU STAY IN THE COMPETITION, JAY.
THANK YOU, YOU CAN LEAVE THE RUNWAY.
THANK YOU.
THANKS.
SAM, A HUGE THANKS FOR JOINING US HERE ON ALL STARS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I APPRECIATE IT.
WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.
NOW IT'S TIME TO LEAVE THE RUNWAY.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
[kissing.]
YOU'RE WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT.
TAKE CARE, BYE, BABY.
I DEFINITELY THINK IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE, AND I'M HAPPY TO HAVE BEEN HERE.
I WISH THAT IT ENDED DIFFERENTLY.
OH, SAM! [all groaning.]
IT'S OKAY.
OH, I CAN'T LOOK AT HER.
OHH.
GIVE ME A HUG.
IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
[sobs.]
IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
I'M GONNA GO HOME, AND I'M GONNA CONTINUE TO WORK ON MY LINE, AND IT'S JUST GONNA GET BETTER.
NEXT ON PROJECT RUNWAY: ALL STARS THIS IS THE AVANT-GARDE CHALLENGE.
FINALLY.
$100 EACH IF ONE OF YOU VOLUNTEERS TO SKETCH IN THE SHARK TANK.
OH, [bleep.]
.
WHAT DID I GET MYSELF INTO? [all cheering.]
OH! HELEN, ARE YOU OKAY? YOU JUST HAVEN'T WON.
IT'S A MATTER OF OPINION.
YOU CAN'T BE SO ARROGANT.
NO, I'M NOT BEING ARROGANT.
I'M JUST BEING DIRECT.
THE SILHOUETTE IS JUST OFF.
SORT OF GETTING MORE ZIGGY STARDUST.
FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GIVING ME ATTIT--I FEEL LIKE SHE'S ALWAYS LOOKING AT ME WITH HER LIPS TO THE SIDE.
RESTING BITCH FACE.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON TONIGHT'S SHOW, GO TO MYLIFETIME.
COM.
THAT MEANS WE'RE DRESSING A MAN.
MAYBE I SHOULD DO MENSWEAR.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT I CAN DO.
AT FIRST, I WAS GONNA DO THE MENSWEAR, BUT THEN THERE WAS SOME SKEPTICISM.
IT'S SEXY, AND IT'S SOPHISTICATED AT THE SAME TIME.
COOL.
I LOVE THIS HIGH NECK.
IT'S ALMOST ECCLESIASTICAL AND NAUTICAL, ON A YACHT.
HA! I'M A HUGE FAN OF HEATHER GREY.
TO MIX IT WITH THAT LILAC, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.
THE WINNER THIS WEEK IS FABIO.
[bleep.]
.
THIS FABRIC LOOKS LIKE A PAIR OF AMAZING PAJAMAS.
HE TOLD YOU TO MAKE HIM NOTHING, AND YOU MADE HIM NOTHING.
BANANA REPUBLIC IS WHAT THAT COULD BE.
HELEN AND JUSTIN, WE WERE UNHAPPY WITH BOTH OF YOUR LOOKS, BUT YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL IN CREATING CHEMISTRY WITH BOTH OF YOUR SINGLES, SO WE ARE GONNA GIVE YOU BOTH A SECOND CHANCE.
FROM PROJECT RUNWAY ARE BACK.
AND THIS TIME THE COMPETITION IS BIGGER THAN EVER.
EACH WEEK, THEIR SKILLS ARE TESTED TO THE LIMIT, AS THEY COMPETE FOR THE LARGEST PRIZE IN RUNWAHISTORY.
WHO WILL BE CUT? AND WHO WILL HAVE IT ALL SEWN UP? THIS IS PROJECT RUNWAY: ALL STARS.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICHELLE.
[all cheering.]
TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY! THIRTY-SIXY.
SO WE'RE HAVING COFFEE AT GOTHAM WEST MARKET.
LOOK AT THE NEWSPAPER.
JUSTIN NOTICES THAT ALYSSA MILANO IS ON THE COVER OF USA TODAY.
WHOA! OH.
"ALYSSA MILANO MAKES A SPLASH? PROJECT RUNWAY: ALL STAR DESIGNERS HEAD OUT FOR SOME FUN IN THE SUN"? ARE YOU GUYS READY TO FIND OUT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT? YES.
YEAH, LET'S GO.
I'M BRINGING THIS PAPER.
[laughs.]
HELLO, GOOD MORNING.
HI.
GOOD MORNING.
I SEE THE USA TODAY HEADLINE LED YOU HERE.
I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE PRESIDENT OF USA TODAY TRAVEL, JOHN PETERS.
all: HI! HI, DESIGNERS.
AT USA TODAY TRAVEL, WE PROVIDE TOOLS AND INFORMATION TO HELP TRAVELERS MAKE THE MOST OF THEIR TRIP.
FROM PLANNING AND BOOKING TO EXPERIENCING AND SHARING, WE GIVE READERS WHAT THEY NEED TO PERSONALIZE THEIR LIFESTYLE AND THEIR TRAVEL DESTINATION.
AND BECAUSE NO TRAVEL EXPERIENCE IS COMPLETE WITHOUT JUST THE RIGHT WARDROBE, YOUR CHALLENGE IS TO CREATE ELEGANT RESORT WEAR SUITABLE FOR A GLAMOROUS GETAWAY.
OKAY.
[clapping.]
RESORT WEAR CAN GO DAY TO NIGHT, CAN BE BEACHWEAR, EVENING WEAR, IT CAN BE ANYTHING.
YOUR BUDGET IS $150, AND AS EXTRA MOTIVATION, USA TODAY IS PROVIDING A SPECIAL PRIZE.
YOU WANT TO TELL US ABOUT THAT, JOHN? WELL, USA TODAY WILL PUBLISH A PHOTO STORY AND INTERVIEW WITH THE WINNING DESIGNER AND THEIR LOOK.
USA TODAREACHES MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DAILY, SO THIS IS EXPOSURE THAT NO MONEY CAN BUY.
AND WE'LL OFFER THE WINNER A CUSTOMIZED VACATION GETAWAY TO THE CARIBBEAN.
WHOO! UGH! WE NEED A VACATION.
VACATION! WE NEED A VACATION, JOHN.
OH, MY GOD.
OKAY, DESIGNERS, THIS IS A BIG PRIZE, SO LET'S UP THE ANTE WITH AN ALL STARS TWIST.
YOU MUST ALSO DESIGN A SWIMSUIT TO GO UNDER YOUR OUTFIT.
I'VE NEVER MADE SWIMSUITS, SO THIS IS REALLY A CHALLENGE ON TOP OF ANOTHER CHALLENGE.
I'VE NEVER DONE SWIMSUITS.
I HAVE NOT MADE SWIMWEAR BEFORE, SO I'M HOPING IT WILL PAN OUT FOR THE BEST.
MY LAST LINE WAS ALL SWIMWEAR, BUT THE FIRST PROBABLY TEN I MADE WERE [bleep.]
AWFUL.
THERE'S ONE LAST THING.
TO MAKE SURE YOU DON'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE, YOU'RE GOING TO BE RANDOMLY ASSIGNED A NEW MODEL.
WHEN YOU DESIGN FOR ONE MODEL ALL THE TIME, SHE BECOMES YOUR MUSE.
BUT I LOVE MY GIRL! WE KNOW THEIR BODIES.
WE'RE ACCUSTOMED TO THE FITTINGS, AND NOW I DON'T KNOW WHO I'M WORKING WITH.
NOW, MOST SWIMSUITS ARE MADE OF LYCRA, SO TO HELP YOU, WE'VE CONVENIENTLY PLACED ALL THE SWATCHES UNDER THE WATER JUST FOR YOU.
NO, NO, NO.
[laughs.]
BABY GIRL'S NOT GETTING HER HAIR WET FOR NOBODY.
WAIT A MINUTE.
DID YOU REALLY THINK THAT WE WERE GONNA MAKE YOU STRIP TO DO IT? YES.
DON'T WORRY.
WE WOULD NOT DO THAT TO YOU.
THANK YOU.
INSTEAD, I'VE CALLED IN A FEW FRIENDS TO HELP.
OH.
COME ON OUT, BOYS.
[applause.]
OKAY.
OH! OOH.
GOOD JOB.
[laughs.]
THE ALL STARS POOL BOYS ARE HERE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR SWATCH SELECTION.
POOL BOYS.
FORGET THE CHALLENGE BECAUSE POOL BOYS.
THE BOYS WILL SWIM IN FOR YOUR LYCRA AND THEN CLIMB OUT OF THE POOL TO SHOW YOU THE FABRIC UP CLOSE.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SELECTION, YOU JUST SEND THEM BACK IN.
THERE'S NO TIME RESTRICTION.
OH.
WE COULD DO THIS ALL DAY? [both laughing.]
I'M HOPING MY FABRIC IS ALL THE WAY IN THE END OF THE POOL, SO I CAN SEE HIM SWIM AND SEE HIS PRETTY HAIR GLISTEN IN THE WATER.
ARE YOU READY? YES.
[whistle blows.]
TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRTS! TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRTS! [all cheering and laughing.]
OH, MY GOD.
[all screaming and laughing.]
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MICHELLE.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! [all screaming and laughing.]
OOH, NO, NO, NO, NO.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
OH, MY GOD, I LOVE IT.
OKAY, OKAY.
THANK YOU! FIND ME A GOOD ONE.
FIND ME A GOOD ONE.
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT I SEE IS A ZIGZAG PRINT.
IT'S YELLOW AND BLACK, AND IT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT'S REALLY GRAPHIC.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS MUDDLED AND CHEESY.
OH, I LIKE IT.
THERE'S A REASON IT'S SPEAKING TO ME.
I WILL KEEP IT.
THAT'S COOL.
I CHOOSE THIS YELLOW AND BLACK PRINT.
IT'S VERY GRAPHIC.
AND THEN I LOOK AROUND, AND I SEE THAT MICHELLE IS USING THE SAME FABRIC, AND IF MICHELLE USING IT, I'M GONNA SWITCH.
WHAT ABOUT THIS RED ONE? OKAY, RIGHT HERE, EH? I CHOOSE THIS CAMOUFLAGE PRINT.
IT'S VERY, VERY DIFFERENT FROM EVERYONE ELSE, AND I THINK IT MIGHT BE RISKY.
OH, I LOVE IT.
I JUST HOPE THE JUDGES WILL REACT IN A POSITIVE WAY.
IT LOOKS GOOD WITH THE BLACK, LIKE, THE PIPING.
I LIKE IT WITH THE BLACK.
YES, I LOVE THIS.
THIS IS PERFECT.
I DECIDE TO GO WITH THIS FEATHER PRINT THAT HAS A LOT OF COLORS.
IT'S A LITTLE BRIGHT, BUT SPEWS "VACATION.
" KEVIN, CAN YOU DO A BACKSTROKE, PLEASE? [both laughing.]
WE HAVE TO SKETCH.
[laughs.]
THANK YOU.
THANKS, BOYS.
I'M THINKING ROCK AND ROLL, RELAXED, IBIZA.
I'VE DECIDED TO COME UP WITH A REALLY SIMPLE SILHOUETTE.
THE PATTERN ALONE IS ALREADY COMPLICATED AND BUSY.
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A REALLY BUSY SWIMSUIT.
LAST WEEK, THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY CAN BUY MY LOOK AT A CHEAP DEPARTMENT STORE, SO I WILL MAKE SURE THAT THIS WEEK, YOU CANNOT FIND IT IN ANY STORE.
IT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE CUSTOM MADE.
THE SWIMWEAR WILL BE A ONE-PIECE WITH CUTOUT.
IN THE BACK, IT'S GONNA BE ALL BLACK STRIPES.
I'M TRANSFERRING THAT LOOK TO MY RESORT WEAR.
I'M GONNA MAKE A REALLY BOLD PIECE THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT FORGET.
MY GIRL IS JUST A MIAMI GIRL.
FOR MY RESORT WEAR, I'M DOING THIS MATTE, BEADED GREAT TUNIC SHAPE, AND I WANT TO DO A SUPER-LOW-PLUNGING SWIMSUIT.
I THINK IT'S GONNA BE EDGY AND ROCKY, AND THAT'S THE KIND OF GIRL I AM.
I WANT TO GO FOR SOMETHING REALLY BRIGHT AND COLORFUL AND PRETTY, JUST BECAUSE, TO ME, THAT'S VACATION.
I'M THINKING, WITH MY BATHING SUIT, I'M GONNA PAY HOMAGE TO BAYWATCH AND DO THIS SUPER-HIGH CUT, RUNNING-DOWN-THE-BEACH TYPE OF BATHING SUIT.
IT'S TIME TO GO TO MOOD.
WELL, I'M IN THE MOOD, SO LET'S HEAD OVER.
OH.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS, WE HAVE I NEED A PRETTY BASIC COLOR.
I DECIDED THAT MY GIRL IS GOING TO MYKONOS, GREECE, SO I'M GONNA CREATE THIS COLUMN DRESS, BUT I'LL MAKE IT MODERN.
I'M PAIRING IT WITH AN ASYMMETRICAL BATHING SUIT.
KNOWING THAT ISAAC MADE A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT ASYMMETRY AND HOW HE DOESN'T LIKE IT WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT PEOPLE DEFAULT TO ASYMMETRY BECAUSE IT'S THE EASIEST WAY TO MAKE A DRESS FIT.
IT'S A RISK, BUT I'M WILLING TO TAKE IT.
ONE OF THE BEST TRICKS OF THE TRADE WHEN YOU'RE DOING SWIMWEAR IS THIS FOLD-OVER ELASTIC.
IT'S A LOT EASIER TO FINISH THE EDGING.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE EVERYBODY ELSE IS, 'CAUSE THEY'RE GONNA NEED THIS STUFF.
NOTHING'S, LIKE, SPEAKING TO ME.
I'M NOT SKETCHING.
I DON'T REALLY NECESSARILY KNOW WHERE I'M GOING WITH WHAT I'M MAKING, BUT I WANT THIS TO LOOK LIKE SHE'S OUT FOR THE DAY, MAYBE ON HER YACHT.
THIS FEELS MORE ELEGANT AND SPECIAL.
OKAY.
LET'S GET 2 1/2 OF THAT.
I'M THINKING A LACE PANT AND A HIGH-WAIST BATHING-SUIT BOTTOM.
FIVE MINUTES, GUYS, FIVE MINUTES.
OH, YEAH, THAT'S ENOUGH.
I LIKE THE STRIPES.
THANK YOU.
THAT'S FOR THE CHIFFON.
all: THANK YOU, MOOD.
BYE.
BYE, SWATCH.
all: AW! WOW.
THAT DOES NOT GET ANY LESS CRAZY.
I'M STARTING TO CUT THE PATTERN AND GETTING EVERYTHING IN PLACE, AND I SEW IT TOGETHER.
IT DOES NOT READ EXPENSIVE TO ME.
I THINK ONCE YOU HAVE ALL THE STRAPS, IT WON'T LOOK LIKE THAT.
YEAH.
'CAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU ONLY HAVE THIS.
IT LOOKS LIKE A TANK TOP.
YEAH, IT LOOKS-- I REALIZE THE OTHER SIDE IS BLACK.
I JUST TOOK THE PRINT OUT AND STARTED WORKING WITH THAT RIGHT AWAY.
I THINK IT IS A RISK FOR ME TO GO THAT ROUTE.
HOWEVER, THE BATHING SUIT THAT I'M MAKING IS VERY GRAPHIC, AND IT'S NOT YOUR TYPICAL BATHING SUIT.
I LOVE THAT BLUE, SONJIA.
ME TOO.
RIGHT NOW I'M DRAPING THE PANT THAT WILL BE MADE OF LACE.
I DON'T NORMALLY DRAPE.
I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE FIT ON THE PANT IS, LIKE, IMPECCABLE.
WE DON'T WANT NO CRAZY CROTCHES HAPPENING ON THE RUNWAY.
NO CAMEL TOES.
ANY TOES-- NO, WE'RE JUST GONNA LEAVE THE TOES ALONE.
HAS ANYBODY MADE A SWIMSUIT BEFORE? NO.
THEY'RE REALLY A LOT EASIER THAN YOU THINK.
OH, YEAH.
YEAH.
THEY JUST STRETCH.
YOU JUST CUT OUT THE SHAPE PRETTY MUCH, RIGHT? THEY'LL JUDGE YOU-- HOW DO YOU FINISH IT? WELL, I BOUGHT ELASTIC THAT I FOLD OVER.
I THINK THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GONNA HAVE THE MOST TROUBLE WITH THIS CHALLENGE ARE THOSE THAT ARE GONNA GET FRIGHTENED OR TERRIFIED BY THE SWIMSUIT, AND THAT'S JUST A PORTION OF THE CHALLENGE.
HOW WIDE IS IT? I HAVE A COUPLE THAT I BOUGHT.
I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE I'M GONNA USE.
DO YOU HAVE EXTRA ONES? MAYBE.
WE'LL SEE.
NOBODY EVER OFFERS ME ANYTHING.
THEY SEE A STRONG COMPETITOR.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
I'M ABOUT TO FINISH THE TOP.
IT'S TAKING ME FOREVER TO FINISH THE SWIMSUIT, AND I HAVE NOT EVEN STARTED MAKING THE RESORT WEAR YET.
HELEN, HOW DO YOU HEM A PLEAT? GOOD LUCK--THAT'S HOW YOU HEM IT.
[laughs.]
LAST WEEK, NO ONE WENT HOME, ALTHOUGH I'M PRETTY CERTAIN JUSTIN AND I BOTH SHOULD HAVE, AND I'VE BEEN IN THE BOTTOM BEFORE, SO I'M NOT TRYING TO LET THAT CREEP UP ON ME AGAIN.
YEAH, I'M ALL ABOUT THAT YOLO LIFE.
LET ME SEE THE ELASTIC.
I DON'T HAVE--I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE ANYTHING FOR YOU, HONESTLY.
NO, BUT LET ME SEE WHAT IT IS FOR THE FUTURE.
DMITRY ASKED ME FOR SOME ELASTIC, BUT WHAT I HAVE LEFT DOESN'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF STRETCH.
BUT I GOT THIS, TO USE EITHER THIS-- OH.
I HAVE A REGULAR ELASTIC, SO I COULD GET AWAY WITH IT, I THINK.
HI, DESIGNERS.
all: HI.
HOW ARE WE DOING? GOOD, GOOD.
SO USA TODAY HAVE OFFERED AN AMAZING PRIZE FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SO I WANT TO INTRODUCE TO YOU ALISON MAXWELL, WHO'S THE FASHION EDITOR THERE, AND SHE'S GONNA BE CO-MENTORING WITH ME TODAY.
THIS WOMAN KNOWS WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT, AND SO I'M EXCITED TO HEAR HER FEEDBACK.
HI, EVERYONE.
I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT YOUR GIRL AND WHERE SHE'S TRAVELING.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET STARTED.
SHE'S GOING TO IBIZA.
I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE, SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GIRLS WEAR THERE.
IT'S VERY CHIC, ELEGANT, BUT THERE IS THAT PARTY ATMOSPHERE, LETTING LOOSE.
AND IT'S NOT ALL-INCLUSIVE.
IT'S VERY EXCLUSIVE.
I'LL MAKE HER LOOK EXCLUSIVE OR MAYBE CHANGE HER FLIGHT TO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
[laughter.]
I'M THINKING THE SOUTH OF FRANCE.
I LIKE THIS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S APPROPRIATE.
WHY COULD THIS NOT BE APPROPRIATE? IT'S A SWIMSUIT.
IT'S GONNA SHOW SOME FLESH.
YEAH, YEAH, DEFINITELY.
AS LONG AS WE'VE GOT NO NIPPLES HANGING OUT, THEN WE'RE ALL GOOD.
IT'S SUCH A FUN TEASE WITH THE LITTLE TRIM.
I LOVE IT.
OH, THANK YOU.
SO I WAS THINKING EUROPE, MYKONOS.
I LOVE THE PRINT.
I MEAN, I LOVE IT, BUT LOOKING AROUND THE ROOM-- NO.
DON'T LOOK AROUND THE ROOM.
THIS REMINDS ME OF HOW A BOND GIRL WOULD DRESS COMING OUT OF THE WATER.
ZANNA LOVES IT, AND I THINK DMITRY'S LOOK IS ABSOLUTELY HIDEOUS.
INITIALLY, I WAS THINKING SHE'S, LIKE, ON HER YACHT IN THE MALDIVES.
SHE'S KIND OF BALLING MAYBE.
THE LACE WOULD BE HERE.
MM-HMM.
THEN I HAVE THIS DENIM-Y FABRIC.
I DO WANT YOU TO REMEMBER TO MAKE IT AS CHIC AS POSSIBLE.
MM-HMM.
YOU'RE PUTTING DENIM WITH SOMETHING THAT'S QUITE LUX.
MM-HMM.
I HAVE TWO IDEAS GOING HERE.
ONE IS REALLY LONG FRINGE OR JUST A VERY SIMPLE TEXTURAL BREAKUP.
WELL, YOU KNOW, FRINGE IS GREAT FOR DANCING.
YEAH.
NOT SO MUCH FOR SWIMMING, THOUGH.
NOT SO MUCH FOR SWIMMING.
NO.
I THINK THIS IS REALLY PRETTY.
WELL, IT TAKES IT AWAY FROM CAUTION TAPE RIGHT.
INTO YEAH.
[laughing.]
A NICE, FINISHED SWIMSUIT.
I REMEMBER READING IN MARIE CLAIRE YEAH, GO FIGURE.
HER WORST NIGHTMARE WOULD BE TO DESIGN SWIMWEAR.
OH.
YEAH.
IT LOOKS HEAVY.
I DON'T HATE IT, THOUGH, FOR THAT REASON.
OKAY.
JUST OKAY? UGH.
THAT SWIMSUIT IT MIGHT LOOK A LITTLE BIT BORING.
REALLY? FEELS A LITTLE COMPLICATED TO ME, TOO, WITH THE TIE AT THE WAIST.
IT'S A BIT CONSERVATIVE FOR YOU--THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
YOU THINK SO? YEAH.
GOOD LUCK.
THIS IS ACTUALLY THE PRINT THAT I GOT TODAY OKAY.
AND IT'S GONNA BE REALLY HIGH CUT, LIKE BAYWATCH, SUPER SEXY.
OKAY.
I JUST PICTURED HER IN A REALLY BEAUTIFUL ISLAND.
I THINK YOU HAVE TO REALLY FOCUS ON THE GLAMOUR ASPECT.
YEAH.
AND I THINK ALSO YOU WANT TO BE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT EASE MM-HMM.
AND FEELING RELAXED.
PERFECT.
ALL RIGHT.
GOOD LUCK.
THANK YOU.
THANKS.
OKAY, ALL-STARS, REMEMBER, THIS IS ABOUT A VERY ELEGANT, FABULOUS TRIP, AND THE PRIZE IS PRETTY FABULOUS TOO.
YES, LET'S NOT FORGET THAT THE WINNER HERE WILL APPEAR IN USA TODAY, SO BE SURE TO GIVE IT YOUR ALL.
GOOD LUCK.
all: THANK YOU.
BYE.
DOES THAT MEAN THE MODELS ARE COMING IN SOON? THAT WOULD SUCK, 'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE A SWIMSUIT TO FIT ON HER.
I'M SO FAR FROM BEING AT THAT PLACE, IT'S LIKE, I CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH IT.
AHH! HI.
HEY, LADIES.
HI.
[laughs.]
WE GOT A FEW THINGS TO TRY ON, 'CAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I'M FITTING YOU.
OKAY, TURN AROUND.
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WORKING WITH MY NEW MODEL, AND I HAVE TO LEARN HER BODY TYPE.
HER TORSO IS MUCH LONGER THAN AN AVERAGE TORSO.
SO ALL THE LINE IS GONNA BE LIKE THIS.
OOH.
I PUT THIS TOGETHER IN TWO SECONDS.
I'M GONNA GO TO THE SEWING ROOM.
I WILL BE RIGHT, RIGHT BACK.
HOW TALL ARE YOU? 5'11".
YOU ARE? YEAH.
OKAY.
FOR THE JUMPSUIT, IF IT'S TOO TIGHT, IT'S GONNA, LIKE, HIKE AND PULL, OR IF IT'S TOO LONG, IT'S GONNA BE A REALLY BAGGY CROTCH, SO I'M KIND OF JUST, LIKE, WINGING IT AT THIS POINT AND HOPING THAT IT KIND OF JUST ALL LINES UP.
OKAY.
SUPER BIG, AND STOMPY STOMPY.
THAT IS NOT GRACEFUL.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE.
FOR ME TO MAKE A BATHING SUIT IN ABOUT TWO MINUTES, IT ACTUALLY FITS REALLY GOOD.
I WANT TO MAKE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO IT, BUT I'M LIKE, "WOW, I STILL GOT IT.
" THIS LOOKS GOOD.
YEAH.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING WITH IT.
YEAH.
OKAY, COOL, I LOVE IT.
THE SWIMSUIT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL ON HER, AND THEN I MOVE ON TO MY RESORT WEAR.
GONNA FIGURE OUT THIS CRAZYTHING.
BECAUSE MY MODEL HAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PROPORTIONS FROM MY PREVIOUS MODEL, IT DOESN'T WORK ON HER BODY.
I CAN'T SAVE THIS DRESS, SO I'M GONNA MAKE A COMPLETELY NEW DRESS WITHIN TWO OR THREE HOURS.
UGH, WHATEVER.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT [indistinct.]
ALL RIGHTY.
BYE, LADIES.
OH, MY GOD, WHERE DO I START? MY MODEL IS HUGE.
SHE'S 6'1".
[laughs.]
AND I COULDN'T FIT THE DRESS I MADE, SO JUST ABANDONED IT, BECAUSE I COULDN'T DEAL WITH IT.
THE EMOTIONS I'M GOING THROUGH, I CAN'T DESCRIBE.
I MEAN, I STILL KEEP MYFACE, BUT INSIDE, I'M READY TO BLOW UP.
I NEED MORE TIME.
IT IS THE END OF THE DAY, AND THE ONLY THING THAT I NEED TO DO IS THE TOP OF THE OUTERWEAR, WHICH HASN'T BEEN DONE BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF THE PLEATED FABRIC, AND I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT I'M GONNA DO ABOUT THAT.
FIVE MINUTES, GUYS, FIVE MINUTES.
OH, GOD! OH, MY GOSH, OH, MY GOSH.
[humming.]
[indistinct.]
OH, MY GOSH.
I SEWED--I MUST HAVE TWISTED MY TOP BEFORE I SEWED IT ON.
I JUST SEWED MY TOP TO MY BOTTOM, AND MY ZIPPER, AND I REALIZED THAT I TWISTED THE TOP PORTION OF MY JUMPSUIT BEFORE I ATTACHED IT TO THE BOTTOM.
IS THAT THE BACK ATTACHED TO THE FRONT? THE WHOLE SIDE IS TWISTED, AND NOW I NEED TO UNDO EVERYTHING AND REDO IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO RIGHT NOW.
HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN? OH, MY GOSH.
SLEEP DEPRIVATION, THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENS.
TIME WASN'T ALLOTTED FOR, LIKE, SUCH A BIG MISTAKE.
WHEW, OKAY.
TOMORROW MORNING, I JUST HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO.
TIME IS UP! ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GO.
I'M BURNED.
IS THE STEAMER ON? I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GONNA FIX THAT SIDE.
I HAVE TO FINISH MY JUMPSUIT AND MAKE A BATHING SUIT, AND-- I JUST--THERE'S JUST NO TIME FOR IT.
OH, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? I NEED TO FINISH MY DRESS AND A BIKINI BOTTOM.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW? I'VE NEVER DONE A BIKINI BOTTOM BEFORE, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS IS GONNA TAKE ME.
AH! EVERYONE'S, LIKE, LAST MINUTE RUSHING AROUND.
IT'S THE TIME WHERE WE ALL MAKE OUR MISTAKES.
EW, THAT'S NOT GOOD.
THIS HAND SEWING RIGHT NOW IS BLOWING MY MIND.
THE SKIRT THAT I MADE, IT HAS TWO TIERS, AND THE SECOND TIER, THE OUTER LAYER, WAS PRETTY LONG, AND SINCE IT'S A RESORT WEAR, I WANTED KEEP IT LIGHT, SO I DECIDED TO MAKE THAT TIER SHORTER, AND USE THE REMAINING FABRIC FROM THAT TIER TO MAKE THE TOP.
HI, MIMI.
HI.
I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
HI.
I ABANDONED THE DRESS THAT WE TRIED YESTERDAY.
REMEMBER? SO COMPLETELY, AND I MADE JUST ANOTHER ONE IN TWO HOURS.
LET ME JUST FINISH THIS.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S--COME HERE IN THE MIRROR.
OH, MY GOD, IT LOOKS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD.
OH, GOOD.
HOW'S YOUR FITTING? IT'S, LIKE, HARD, BECAUSE A JUMPSUIT, YOU HAVE TO FIT THE WHOLE THING.
NO, I KNOW, THE JUMPSUITS ARE HARD.
ALL RIGHT, SIDNEY, LET'S GO HIT THE CHI HAIR CARE SALON.
MWAH, NICE TO SEE YOU.
WELCOME BACK.
KIND OF A SLEEK BUN.
TO THE BACK, BUT THE BUN I WANT TO BE KIND OF MESSY.
MAYBE JUST WET LOOK.
SO MAYBE WET AND A LITTLE BIT OF HEIGHT IN THE BACK.
WANT TO DO, LIKE, A CROWN BRAID.
YEAH, ON BOTH SIDES? YUP, PERFECT.
MY IDEA AT THE MARY KAY DESIGN STUDIO TODAY IS JUST TO GO FULL ON OUT WITH THIS CRAZY MAKEUP.
ACCENTUATE THE BROWS AND GIVE HER LASHES SO LONG THAT SHE CAN'T EVEN OPEN HER EYES.
I WANT TO KEEP HER NICE AND GOLDEN AND GLOWY, BUT REALLY NATURAL.
MAYBE I'M THINKING A LITTLE ICE COCO.
OH, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL! I JUST WANT TO HAVE A REALLY CLEAN, SUN-KISSED LOOK.
A LITTLE BIT OF APRICOT TWIST.
REALLY PRETTY.
OH, YEAH, IT'S REALLY PRETTY.
I LIKE IT A LOT.
[whistling.]
LET ME GO FINISH HER SUIT.
FROM THE QVC ACCESSORY WALL, I GRAB THESE AMAZING WEDGES.
THEY HAVE A CORK SOLE AND THIS CUTE, LITTLE TASSEL, AND I THINK, "WHAT SCREAMS, LIKE, HIGH END RESORT MORE THAN DETAILS LIKE THAT?" OOH, HOW SHORT DID WE GO? [laughs.]
MICHELLE'S LOOK LOOKS MESSY.
THE WAY SHE DRAPED THINGS AND THINGS ARE, LIKE, TUCKED, IT'SIT'S NOT CUTE.
TEN MINUTES, GUYS, TEN MINUTES.
[gasps.]
IS THAT MY MAKEUP? OH, NO.
OH, MY GOSH.
WELL, I'LL COVER IT WITH THE NECKLACE.
YEAH.
I LOVE SAMANTHA'S JUMPSUIT, BUT HER SWIMSUIT, IT'S JUST NOT GOOD.
à GORGEOUS! OH, MY GOD, OH, MY GOD.
OKAY.
[chuckles.]
YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
QUICKLY, QUICKLY.
THANK YOU.
COME ON, GIRL.
WALK AND TALK.
YOUR BUTT LOOKS AWESOME.
YES.

[laughter.]
SO TONIGHT, YOUR MODELS ARE REVEALING YOUR SWIMSUITS UNDER YOUR RESORT WEAR LIVE ON THE RUNWAY.
SO WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? LET'S DO IT.
GOOD LUCK.
all: THANK YOU.
SHE LOOKS AMAZING, AND IT'S SHOWING A LITTLE HINT OF THE BATHING SUIT, BUT NOT TOO MUCH.
GOD, SHE LOOKS GOOD.
THE DRESS AND HOW IT MOVES AND HOW IT SPARKLES, I LOVE MY LOOK.
I LOVE THE SWIMSUIT.
IT'S LOUD, AND YET AT THE SAME TIME, I THINK REALLY MODERN.
I KNOW I'M TAKING A RISK USING THE DENIM WITH THE LACE, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE JUDGES WILL EITHER LOVE OR HATE GET IT, GIRL.
BUT IT STANDS OUT SO MUCH ON THE RUNWAY, AND I FEEL LIKE I MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE OF WINNING.
I LOVE HOW IT MOVES.
EVERY SINGLE DESIGNER IS LOOKING AT THE DRESS, SAYING, "OH, MY GOD, THAT LOOKS AMAZING.
" MM-HMM.
IF I WERE EVER TO HAVE A RESORT COLLECTION, THIS WOULD BE IT.
IT WOULD BE LACE AND LIGHTLY AND JUST PRETTY AND, "OH, PEEKABOO! LOOK, MY BIKINI'S ON UNDER IT.
" WELCOME TO BRAZIL.
IT MOVES REALLY BEAUTIFULLY.
THESE FABRICS ARE REALLY LUX, AND I REALLY LIKE THE OVERALL LOOK.
MY LOOK IS TOTALLY ELEGANT VACATION LOOK.
BUT I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I'M SEEING SO MUCH BOOTY ON THIS RUNWAY.
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HIGH CUT, BUT IT MIGHT AS WELL BE A THONG RIGHT NOW, AND I JUST CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT.
FOR MY DRESS, I'M SHOWING A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF ASYMMETRY.
AND FOR MY BATHING SUIT, I'M SHOWING A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF ASYMMETRY.
DESIGNERS, THANK YOU FOR A REVEALING AND VERY SEXY RUNWAY.
FABIO AND HELEN YOU'RE BOTH SAFE.
OH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
THANK YOU.
YOU CAN LEAVE THE RUNWAY.
[whispering.]
GOOD LUCK.
[whispering.]
THANK YOU.
[dramatic music.]
à ONE OF YOU IS THE WINNER THIS WEEK, AND ONE OF YOU WILL BE GOING HOME.
DMITRY, LET'S START WITH YOU.
I WAS INSPIRED BY GREECE, AND I WANTED TO GIVE HER SOMETHING EFFORTLESS AND VERSATILE.
SHE CAN CHANGE HER SHOES AND GO TO THE BEACH, OR PUT THE HEELS ON AND GO TO THE PARTY.
LET'S SEE THE BIG REVEAL.
OKAY, LET'S START WITH ISAAC.
I REALLY LOVE THIS.
I THINK IT'S EXEMPLARY OF ASYMMETRY.
IT DOESN'T LOOK RANDOM, IT LOOKS SPECIFIC, SO CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU.
I DON'T LOVE SILK CHARMEUSE, BUT WHAT SAVES IT IS THE COLOR.
THE COLOR IS RAVISHING.
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT THE SILK WAS ACTUALLY THE CONTRADICTION OF THE CAMO UNDERNEATH.
SO YOU GAVE US AN EVENING-ESQUE LOOK, AND IT REALLY WORKS ON HER.
I LIKE THE ASYMMETRY.
I THINK YOU COULD'VE WATCHED THE HEM.
I THINK THE SWIMSUIT IS REALLY NICE, IT'S ORIGINAL.
THIS PARTICULAR SWIMSUIT, FOR ME, THE CUT IS PERFECT.
MAKE A GREAT COVER SHOT.
WELL DONE.
THANK YOU.
HI, JAY.
I WANTED TO DESIGN A PIECE FOR TRAVEL TO IBIZA.
IT'S A MAXI DRESS THAT SHE COULD WEAR AT NIGHT TO DINNER, AND THEN GOING OUT, TAKE THE DRESS OFF AND GO SWIMMING IN THE DIRTY WATERS OF IBIZA.
[laughs.]
OKAY, LET'S SEE THE SWIMSUIT.
I LOVED YOUR DRESS WHEN IT WALKED DOWN THE RUNWAY.
I THOUGHT IT HAD SUCH WONDERFUL MOVEMENT TO IT, BUT I LIKE THE BOTTOM OF YOUR DRESS MORE THAN THE TOP.
IT WAS--IT'S JUST A TOUCH TOO HEAVY.
SOMEHOW, THERE'S PLEATS THAT DON'T NEED TO BE THERE ON THE SIDE, AND THERE'S THIS LEATHER YOKE THAT SORT OF--IT RUINS IT.
AND THEN WHEN SHE REVEALED THIS BATHING SUIT, I THOUGHT, "WELL, THERE'S ANOTHER CRAZY MOMENT THAT HE HAD," YOU KNOW? JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PRINT NEXT TO THAT DEGRADE STRIPE.
AS FAR AS THE SWIMSUIT'S CONCERNED, YOU KNOW, THE BOTTOM, I THINK, IS A LITTLE TOO HIGH.
IT'S HARD, THAT LINE, WHEN IT CUTS RIGHT ON THE STOMACH BUTTON.
THE FABRIC REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING I'D PUT MY TODDLER BOY IN.
HMM.
HI, SAM.
WHEN I THOUGHT OF RESORT WEAR AND BEING ABOUT THE POOL, AND, LIKE, SEEING THE WATER, AND THE WATER'S ALWAYS SO BLUE, THAT'S THE FIRST THING YOU THINK ABOUT, I THOUGHT TO DO, LIKE, A WIDE-LEG PANT, A ONE-PIECE FOR TRAVELING PURPOSES, LIKE, JUST THROWING YOUR SWIMSUIT WITH IT.
TIME FOR THE BIG REVEAL, SAM.
LET'S SEE YOUR SWIMSUIT.
I LOVE A JUMPSUIT, AND I ALWAYS HAVE ONE IN RESORT.
IT TELLS A STORY, IT HAS ATTITUDE, SO WELL DONE FOR THINKING THAT THOUGHT.
AND THEN SHE TAKES IT OFF AND I GET FLASHDANCAND I'M LOST.
[both laughing.]
I HAVE TO BE HONEST.
I JUST GOT, LIKE, BAD '80s WHO'S THE BOSS? FLASHBACKS.
SAMANTHA.
[laughing.]
EXACTLY.
I JUST THINK THERE ARE, LIKE, TASTE CHOICES HERE ON THE BATHING SUIT, WHEREAS, LIKE, ON THE JUMPSUIT, YOU HIT A HOME RUN.
I LIKE THE COLOR SO MUCH, BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING NOT-SO-FLATTERING ABOUT THE FRONT OF THE JUMPSUIT.
IT SAGGED IN A FUNNY WAY THAT I THINK REALLY WRECKED SOME OF THE EFFECT OF THE VERY GOOD JUMPSUIT.
THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT, JUSTIN.
FOR THIS RESORT WEAR, I'M THINKING ABOUT GOING TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE, AND I JUST MADE A REALLY STRAIGHTFORWARD ENVELOPE DRESS.
AND THE BIG REVEAL.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A REALLY COHESIVE, CLASSY LOOK.
I REALLY UNDERSTAND THIS WOMAN.
I WANT TO BE THIS WOMAN.
WOW, JUSTIN, THIS IS GREAT.
THERE WAS A CHASTITY TO HER IN A KIND OF GRECIAN GODDESS SORT OF WAY, AND ALSO, DARLING, IT'S A BLACK SWIMSUIT.
IT LOOKS SO FRESH.
I ADORE IT.
CONGRATULATIONS.
THE BACK IS AMAZING.
I WOULD LITERALLY PHOTOGRAPH THIS FROM THE BACK YEAH.
LOOKING OVER HER SHOULDER, AND IT WOULD SELL.
LOVE YOUR CHOICE OF FABRIC, AND THAT BATHING SUIT IS JUST PRETTY PERFECT.
THANK YOU.
OKAY, MICHELLE.
SHE'S A MIAMI GIRL, AND SHE'S GOING FROM POOLSIDE, AND THROWING ON THIS FROCK ON TOP, CLIMBING INTO HER CONVERTIBLE, AND GOING DANCING.
OKAY, YOUR BIG REVEAL.
I LOVE THE SWIMSUIT, 'CAUSE I THINK IT'S A TEXTILE LAYERED ON TOP OF ANOTHER TEXTILE.
IS THAT RIGHT? THE PRINT I HAVE IS THIS CHARLIE BROWN ZIGZAG YELLOW AND BLACK, AND SO I ACTUALLY FOUND AN ELASTIC THAT I COULD STACK OVER TOP TO CHANGE THE PATTERN UP.
I THINK IT'S SORT OF THE BEST SWIMSUIT WE'VE SEEN TODAY, REALLY.
I LOVE THAT YOU DIDN'T TAKE THIS TRIANGLE UP TOO HIGH, AND THE STRAPS STARTED REALLY LOW.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY FRESH.
WHAT IS THAT LITTLE DETAIL IN THE FRONT? THAT'S-- IT'S THE SAME ELASTIC, JUST RIGHT THROUGH HERE.
IT REALLY CONTOURS THE BODY NICELY, IT PULLS THE WAIST IN.
HOWEVER, IN THE DRESS, I FEEL LIKE IT DID EVERYTHING A WOMAN DOESN'T WANT TO HAPPEN TO THEIR BODY.
THE PLEATS OR WHATEVER THEY WERE, THE WAY IT WAS CAUGHT JUST SIMPLY LOOKED TO ME AS IF SHE HAD CAUGHT IT IN HER UNDERWEAR.
OH, BOY, NIGEL, UGH! BUT WOW, WHAT A SWIMSUIT.
THANK YOU, MICHELLE.
THANK YOU.
SONJIA.
WHEN I THINK OF RESORT, I JUST THINK OF SOMETHING REALLY KIND OF EASY AND RELAXED, KIND OF KEEP IT SEMI-SEXY, BUT STILL FUNCTIONAL AND FUN.
LET'S SEE YOUR REVEAL.
MM.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL START WITH YOUR "PAJAMA" OUTFIT.
I LOVE THE PLACEMENT OF YOUR LACE, THAT'S SO IMPORTANT WHEN YOU HAVE A FABRIC LIKE THAT.
THANK YOU.
AND THOSE PANTS, OH, MY GOD, THOSE PANTS ARE INSANELY BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU.
I KNOW YOU LOVE THE PANTS, ISAAC, BUT FOR ME, THEY JUST WEREN'T LONG ENOUGH.
IT SEEMED TO SHORTEN HER.
WHAT I DIDN'T NECESSARILY LOVE WAS THE TRIMMING, THIS BIG PANEL OF WHAT IS IT, TAFFETA-- DENIM, ACTUALLY.
OH, IT'S DENIM.
MM-HMM.
HAD YOU JUST SHOWN US THE PANTS WITH THE SWIMSUIT-- BECAUSE THE TOP OF THE PAJAMA THING WASN'T MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS.
MM-HMM.
BUT LIKE, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW A BANDEAU THAT ACTUALLY FLATTERED A WOMAN'S ANATOMY.
NO, IT'S SO GOOD.
I'M SITTING HERE WONDERING WHY THEY DON'T MAKE STRAPLESS BRAS IN THIS SILHOUETTE.
IT'S THE MOST GENIUS THING EVER.
I CAN REALLY SEE BOTH THESE THINGS TRANSLATING INTO SUCH AN INTERESTING COLLECTION.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, DESIGNERS.
THE JUDGES AND I ARE GONNA DELIBERATE, AND WE'LL CALL YOU BACK.
OKAY.
HEY, GIRLS.
SO? AND THE FAIRY.
[laughs.]
YOU'RE ON THE BOTTOM.
YOU'RE ON THE BOTTOM.
YOU'RE ON THE TOP, YOU'RE ON THE TOP, YOU'RE ON THE TOP, I'M ON THE BOTTOM.
OH, REALLY? THEY EITHER LOVED A SWIMSUIT, OR THEY LOVED A DRESS.
YEAH.
SO IT WAS THE MOST KIND OF POSITIVE CRITIQUE OVERALL.
A LOT OF SKIN ON THE RUNWAY.
BUT NOT IN A GRATUITOUS WAY.
I WAS PROUD OF THEM.
NO, I THOUGHT IT WAS HANDLED VERY, VERY WELL.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MOST ACCESSIBLE DESIGNS.
LOVED SONJIA.
I SEE THOSE CLOTHES, AND THERE'S SOMETHING FRESH AND MODERN AND EXCITING.
I WANT TO SEE HER COLLECTION.
AND THE SWIMSUIT WAS SUPERB, AND REALLY ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC PIECES, SOMETHING THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS REALLY DONE, AND IT ALREADY LOOKED BRILLIANT.
THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THE USAGE OF THAT FABRIC AROUND THE MIDDLE.
THIS WAS AWKWARD.
AS SHE TURNED, THERE WERE A FEW BAD ANGLES.
CAN I JUST BRING UP JUSTIN? I LOVED THE WHOLE BLUE/BLACK THING, IT FELT FRESH TO ME, YOU KNOW? VERY.
YEAH.
IT WAS VERY ELEVATED, THE WHOLE LOOK.
THE WHOLE THING.
IT WAS SEXY, YET IT WAS CHIC AND COVERED UP.
I JUST THINK HE HAD WONDERFUL BALANCE THERE.
I LOVE HOW HE SAID, "I WENT FOR A SIMPLE ENVELOPE DRESS," EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS--IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS NOTHING SIMPLE ABOUT THAT.
NO, NO, NO.
SHOULD WE TALK ABOUT DMITRY? DMITRY KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK THIS WEEK, AND HERE WE ARE, CONSTANTLY WARNING THEM AGAINST ASYMMETRICAL HEMLINES RIGHT.
AND HE TOOK IT AND HE RAN WITH IT.
WHEN HE REVEALED THE CAMO SWIMSUIT, IT WAS WRONG, 'CAUSE IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SORT OF THE GREECE OR THE LOOK, BUT IT WORKED SO WELL-- AND COHESIVE.
COHESIVE.
VERY COHESIVE.
YEAH, REALLY COHESIVE.
SO DO WE HAVE A WINNER? OKAY, LET'S MOVE ON TO OUR LOWEST SCORING LOOKS.
SHOULD WE START WITH MICHELLE? MICHELLE IS HARD FOR ME, 'CAUSE I DO THINK THAT WAS THE BEST--ONE OF THE BEST SWIMSUITS.
THE SWIMSUIT IS UNBELIEVABLY GOOD.
I THOUGHT THE DRESS WAS-- WHAT WAS SHE THINKING? YOU MEAN THE PLEATS IN THE FRONT? YEAH, WHAT WAS THAT? IT LOOKED, AGAIN, LIKE A RANDOM WEIRDNESS.
AND I THINK YOU HAVE TO QUESTION, YOU KNOW, IF SHE DOESN'T GET THAT THAT'S WRONG, IF SHE SENDS IT DOWN LIKE THAT, THEN WHAT ON EARTH'S GOING ON? SO LET'S TALK ABOUT JAY.
I LIKED THE DRESS, ACTUALLY.
I LIKE THE WAY IT FLOWED, I LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKED, I THOUGHT IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
BUT THEN, HE ADDS THIS, LIKE, LEATHER YOKE THAT JUST MAKES THE WHOLE THING, LIKE, SORT OF SIT IN THIS BAD WAY.
SO HEAVY-HANDED.
I, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE SHOCK VALUE OF THE SWIMSUIT BEING DIFFERENT, BUT IT DIDN'T REALLY WORK.
IT HAD A HIGH WAIST, AND THEN ALL THE BLACK ACROSS THE BOOB.
AND THE BOTTOMS WERE SO UNFLATTERING.
LET'S TALK ABOUT SAM.
I DID THINK THE JUMPSUIT HAD A LOT OF MERIT.
YOU COULD SEE IT WALKING DOWN MIAMI BEACH.
AND THEN A NEON '80s HIGH LEGGED BATHING SUIT.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHO HER WOMAN IS OR WHO HER MUSE IS THERE.
NO, NOPE.
THE CROTCH, UGH.
THE CROTCH, NO.
YEAH, JUST THE WAY THE FABRIC'S CUT TOO, I MEAN, JUST THE WORST LINES WERE IN THE WORST PLACES.
YES! SO IT WAS, LIKE, INSTANT CAMEL TOE WHEN THERE ISN'T ANY NEED FOR IT.
ACTUALLY, I WASN'T GETTING CAMEL TOE, I WAS GETTING MOOSE KNUCKLE, FRANKLY, BUT-- [laughs.]
WHAT? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
YOU DIDN'T SEE IT? OH, MOOSE KNUCKLE.
[laughs.]
MOOSE KNUCKLE.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
I THINK WE KNOW WHO WE'RE SENDING HOME.
I THINK SO.
LET'S BRING THEM OUT.
[dramatic music.]
DESIGNERS, ONE OF YOU WILL BE IN USA TODAY TOMORROW WITH YOUR WINNING LOOK, AND SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE ELIMINATED TONIGHT.
DESIGNERS, LET'S FIND OUT THE RESULTS.
SONJIA, YOU'RE SAFE.
THANK YOU.
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
THANK YOU, GUYS.
JUSTIN, DMITRY, ONE OF YOU WILL BE IN USA TODAY TOMORROW WITH YOUR WINNING LOOK.
AND THAT DESIGNER IS [dramatic music.]
JUSTIN.
[applause.]
COMEBACK KID.
CONGRATULATIONS, JUSTIN.
THANK YOU.
AND, DMITRY, YOU JUST NEED TO FIND THAT EXTRA SOMETHING TO SCORE THE WIN.
CONGRATULATIONS, BOYS, WE'LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.
I THINK THE FACT THAT I WON IS A BIG DEAL, BECAUSE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE READ USA TODAY.
IT'S DEFINITELY A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO PUT A NAME OUT THERE, AND THE FREE VACATION I'LL TAKE THAT.
DID YOU WIN? [clapping.]
YES! YAY! GOOD JOB.
WE ALL KNEW IT.
GOOD JOB.
[laughs.]
RUNNER-UP AGAIN.
AND NOW, TO THE LOWEST SCORING DESIGNS.
MICHELLE, YOU HAD A LOW SCORE, BUT YOU ARE SAFE.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SWEETHEART.
YOU CAN LEAVE THE RUNWAY.
[dramatic music.]
à AND THAT LEAVES SAM AND JAY.
SAM, ALTHOUGH WE LIKE THE IDEA OF A JUMPSUIT FOR RESORT WEAR, YOURS WAS ILL-FITTING, AND WHEN IT CAME OFF, IT REVEALED A SWIMSUIT THAT LOOKED REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE, AND IT BORDERED ON OFFENSIVE.
SORRY.
JAY, WE LIKE THE WAY YOUR DRESS FLOWED, BUT YOU JUST TRIED TO INCORPORATE TOO MUCH INTO YOUR DESIGN.
YOU NEED TO LEARN THAT SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE.
SAM AND JAY, YOU ARE BOTH SUPER TALENTED DESIGNERS, BUT AS YOU KNOW, ONLY ONE OF YOU CAN STAY.
THE DESIGNER ELIMINATED TONIGHT IS [dramatic music.]
à SAM.
WHEW.
THAT MEANS YOU STAY IN THE COMPETITION, JAY.
THANK YOU, YOU CAN LEAVE THE RUNWAY.
THANK YOU.
THANKS.
SAM, A HUGE THANKS FOR JOINING US HERE ON ALL STARS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I APPRECIATE IT.
WE WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.
NOW IT'S TIME TO LEAVE THE RUNWAY.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
[kissing.]
YOU'RE WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE IT.
TAKE CARE, BYE, BABY.
I DEFINITELY THINK IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE, AND I'M HAPPY TO HAVE BEEN HERE.
I WISH THAT IT ENDED DIFFERENTLY.
OH, SAM! [all groaning.]
IT'S OKAY.
OH, I CAN'T LOOK AT HER.
OHH.
GIVE ME A HUG.
IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
[sobs.]
IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
I'M GONNA GO HOME, AND I'M GONNA CONTINUE TO WORK ON MY LINE, AND IT'S JUST GONNA GET BETTER.
NEXT ON PROJECT RUNWAY: ALL STARS THIS IS THE AVANT-GARDE CHALLENGE.
FINALLY.
$100 EACH IF ONE OF YOU VOLUNTEERS TO SKETCH IN THE SHARK TANK.
OH, [bleep.]
.
WHAT DID I GET MYSELF INTO? [all cheering.]
OH! HELEN, ARE YOU OKAY? YOU JUST HAVEN'T WON.
IT'S A MATTER OF OPINION.
YOU CAN'T BE SO ARROGANT.
NO, I'M NOT BEING ARROGANT.
I'M JUST BEING DIRECT.
THE SILHOUETTE IS JUST OFF.
SORT OF GETTING MORE ZIGGY STARDUST.
FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GIVING ME ATTIT--I FEEL LIKE SHE'S ALWAYS LOOKING AT ME WITH HER LIPS TO THE SIDE.
RESTING BITCH FACE.
