00:00I'm exhausted things are getting tough physically and emotionally. Oh, I mean
00:07Hey designers. Oh, hello Christian couldn't be here tonight. So I wanted to come in. I know it's night was a tough one
00:15Thanks, Brandon
00:16Y'all drink back here or what?
00:22I mean, I have a glass of wine
00:25I know I'm not normally back here, but I wanted to just talk designer to designer. Thank you so much. I'm okay. Cheers
00:32To making it to the top eight. Yes. Thank you
00:35You know now is the time when you get really really tired and it starts to really weigh on you
00:40the good news is you already all have successful careers and so
00:44You came back here to claim something and now is the time to fight for that at different times
00:50Everybody in here has been tired
00:52But I know that every single person in this room has strength right because you all already have a legacy be proud of yourselves
00:58Thank you for your words. It really resonates and I think that everybody needed to hear that. Thank you
01:04Thank you so much. Nice to see you
01:06I think it's cool to see Brandon outside of the judging chair and see him as a real person as a designer
01:11Remember to have fun
01:14It is a halfway point we're getting tired and so for him to just acknowledge it makes me know that I'm not crazy
01:20So now that we've finished what do you guys think the next challenge is?
01:24The dreaded client challenge, maybe it's a prince musician
01:32Sorry, I couldn't be there tonight. I'm out of town preparing something just for you. Okay, get some sleep. Okay tomorrow
01:40Oh god, you're going on a road trip
01:43We pick up the morning at 8 a.m. Because you're leaving the city
01:53No glamping
02:13I can't wait to find out
02:17Are we gonna be bougie today
02:43Hi
02:52Congratulations
02:53I'm so excited. You guys are here. Welcome to my store. It's pretty right?
02:58small small Queen
03:00Christian and I we were the final two during our season
03:02It's inspiring seeing how his brand expanded and evolved through the years got you out of the city. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you
03:09The reason is denim. Oh
03:13I love that. I just did a fabulous collab with Gloria Vanderbilt
03:18Amazing. I remember my mom wearing these jeans growing up. They were iconic
03:24Every major designer is doing that. Yeah, she won. She tell far
03:29Dolce everybody the timing is perfect to bring back an old challenge. Oh
03:34There's so many one that tortured me and you too Rami
03:39One head-to-toe all denim challenge. Wow. All right, follow me come this way
03:58Your challenge create a high-fashion runway look that shows a versatility of denim, but here's the catch
04:06My god, you'll be competing in head-to-head battles
04:12You'll face off against one of your competitors
04:16whoever has the best look will win the battle and be on top and
04:20The losing designer in the battle will be up for elimination
04:25Carousel yes, you won the last challenge
04:28So you have an advantage you get first choice of who you go up against
04:34Oh
04:35Awesome. Okay that I guess that's a prize, right?
04:40You have to decide who you think you can beat
04:50It's expensive to be in my store we carry it up in terms of what would be interesting toss-up
04:56Would be like me and Anna
04:59Oh
05:01Me out of the seven why
05:07I think we're both strong what we do and let's all turn it up and give everybody a great show. Okay
05:16I'll use this button back to decide who gets to pick their opponent next
05:22Brittany Jesus. Oh, who are you picking Brittany?
05:28Wow
05:30Laurence does specialize in leather. So the gamble is that I'll have the upper hand because denim is not a structured as leather is
05:38Rami, I think I will pick Kato
05:49So that means fish me and Praja this is not a good pair I
05:55Don't wanna face a bitch me which means one of the people I'm closest with it's definitely gonna make this runway a lot more difficult
06:02Why?
06:03Let's do models. Okay. Okay. Oh my god
06:07Wow
06:08Alright, you're gonna take all these recycled jeans jackets shirts and deconstruct them to create something totally new and the winner is gonna take home
06:18$5,000
06:21Amazing yeah designers. This is a one-day challenge
06:25You'll have ten minutes now to grab all the denim you need you'll sketch when you get back to the workroom your time
06:32Yes
06:34Oh
06:46My god, this is good cardio for the day Rami getting all dark denim. He's the only one I see with a plan
06:52What's your exchange policy?
06:59Don't touch my power and you can't stay here and just wipe the whole thing on the floor. Yes
07:05And it does not run the room
07:06So if she thinks she's gonna say this whole table is mine and we're just gonna be like, okay Anna
07:10She got nothing coming, honey. Wow
07:15It's empty we actually clean for Christian we should get it paid for that. You should get a check
07:20Now you guys can head back to the city. I'll see you later for a walkthrough and I'm out of fitting
07:26one day challenge
07:35Just
07:38Push it
07:50Coming up so I've never walked up with denim. I've never worked a denim ever. No. Oh first time for everything
07:57This is not the dress. It's not the dress. You're gonna make this little boring dress that you can get anywhere
08:05You
08:11Are you guys going really guys Oh wrong door
08:21Punchers, oh wow, look at that
08:24We're gonna share the space again. Hey
08:27Like old times like old times Rami has always been a mentor in my head
08:31But who doesn't like to win I'm gonna cut you dead. No, I'm just playing Rami. It's all good. No
08:40Ron's do you ever work with denim? I work with denim like I work with leather
08:45Well, whatever the Ross makes it's just gonna be very high couture. Do you work with it? Yeah every now and then
08:52So for this challenge, I really want to do something very flattering to the body
08:55I'm going to make a panel slip dress with an ombre denim puffer coat
09:01But I mean Laurence is insanely talented. I just got a fight like hell to be the top
09:06What about you Anna? How you feel about denim? Huh?
09:11She loves it you never see I wear it didn't I don't think I've ever seen you wear down
09:17I've never walked through is denim. But I hope I can get inspiration from the
09:23Competition cars on you like working with denim. I do a lot of my projects actually have denim. Really?
09:28Yeah, I used to actually sell cute little denim outfits to people
09:33cute little denim outfits
09:35When I was in China, I was living a very easy life living with my parents
09:40There was a moment. I feel myself was useless. I always have a fashion passion
09:45So I decided to come to us doing this eight years. I'm leaving myself in the States. I discovered my personality more
09:52I'm more authentic to myself than I was in China. It's an exciting challenge. Yeah, I think so
09:59I
10:00Feel about this challenge project. It sucks. Just the fact that it's like we're facing off each other. Yeah, that's it for me
10:08I mean any other day this thing all the way up. So for this look I am making a
10:13race car track
10:14Inspired jumpsuit and I want to weave all the waistband of the pants and to this new
10:21Textile making reference to the tire tracks and then a big puffer and that I'm featuring some graphic artworks
10:27I'll be doing with bleach. Bring it on bring it on
10:33Color yes, I do. I love to create textiles out of denim
10:39I love the fact that you can dress it up or dress it down for the longest time
10:43I've always wanted to do this fringe faux fur denim jacket and a mini dress that goes under it
10:52Evolution of data
10:57I
11:00Seen and getting a head start on quite a bit of notions to use on our denim
11:06The weight of the denim is heavy. It's important to use heavy zippers
11:11grommets studs and
11:13Anna is attempting to use bleach
11:17Anyway one shot of bleach
11:20I've never worked with bleach before and I realized that this blue can be take out
11:28Completely to white why I don't make a white denim piece. This will be so different
11:34Bless you. It's a bleach
11:38I will definitely use some bleach to create some graphic art kind of like painting on the denim with bleach
11:45Season 19 I showed the judges that art can be high-end at the end of the day
11:50This is who I am as a designer right now. It's almost impossible to put the brush down
11:54Sending you guys an invoice of our pants, but it's really time-consuming to do this
12:00Project you're going down. No, son. Yes
12:08The competition definitely feels intense it's only two of us and it's a battle
12:13I don't know what Brittany was thinking about because I think you would pick somebody that you think you can beat, right?
12:20Tell me what your master plan is mommy
12:27It's the time I know
12:29Everybody what's a really juicy story about why I picked Anna was not gonna pick my girl
12:34Kato or my girl Arad and a very different style. Let's just put it that way
12:40Why is it that everybody who won got a prize but I got to like pick a battle
12:48Coming up Brittany picked you right? She did pick me. I'm Brittany. I came from blood and more this man scares me here
12:54We'd be facing off today, honey. I go for the jugular nothing personal
13:09Oh
13:24It's gonna be my new CD produced by project
13:31How's it going
13:33It is a denim explosion in here. Oh, it's messy over here. That's my project
13:40Oh
13:41How's it going?
13:43You're up against
13:46That's a hat moment. I've been trying to like sneak peek, but he ain't trying to tell me nothing
13:58What's happening I want to create like this outerwear. Mm-hmm. Is it gonna be kind of like a big coat long?
14:05Yeah, a little peekaboo here. It'd be cool. If it has another surprise, whatever that is. Really?
14:12Good luck
14:15I'm making a pencil skirt with a bomber jacket because my denim is so dark
14:19I'm thinking about using the bleach to create some tie-dyeing to make it look like it's fabric and not denim and just create new
14:26things from it
14:28Rami
14:29Feels like old times does it we've literally done the same challenge we have. Yeah. Yes. I remember your outfit actually that you did stunning
14:36Yes, so, you know
14:41During our season 4 project runway Christian did puffy sleeve tight jeans
14:46I created a two-piece look a top and skirt. I did well then so denim is not like
14:53Something that is scary for me like I can work with them
14:56I want to do like almost a built-in bustier in the jacket
14:59Yeah in yes, so cool, and I like the idea of a biker jacket exaggerated shoulders. Yeah, I love I mean
15:05This was the original idea, but I may not do a skirt. I may do
15:09No, you have to do this skirt
15:13I'm dying. I want to create like a structured kind of like vest or jacket
15:18I want to create strips from the denim and weave them together
15:22They're going to extend from the waist down into the hem of the skirt, this could be a win, I hope so
15:27You never know. I am a very talented designer over there
15:30See you later. Bye. Okay. Bye. Thank you
15:39Happening I really want to make something new. I've never worked with denim never denim ever. No. Oh, okay
15:48First time for everything
15:50So I am making a top
15:53Everything is constructed, but deconstructed. These are all kind of the tops of the pants
15:58Yes, and I'm gonna bleach the whole thing and I tested once watch. Oh, and you're gonna bleach it too. Yes
16:05Are you gonna make a whole thing splotchy or all white so I think I can be the only one is not blue
16:12The bleaching does make me nervous. I've never done bleach as well. So I don't know. I'm great
16:17I just wanted to do it. I just want to do it. I just want to do it. Yeah, you sure
16:22Do a test. I did it. That's a small test do a big test
16:26It could get very 80s
16:29True goodbye. Thank you Christian. You're welcome that fun
16:36Maybe it's a good thing because I've never played with denim all the design
16:39I created it for season 19 was very new to myself and for this challenge
16:45I'm going to make a deconstructed dress by connecting different the legs. It's not just to show the versatility of denim
16:52I also want to show the versatility of Anna
16:55Hassan's got her muslin going. Well, I'm cutting out some fringe. I'm gonna do a fringe. Yeah
17:02Really beautiful patchwork dress and a beautiful cape with French with French what kind of cape
17:09You don't really sketch
17:11Work it all out in my mind. Yes and just get work
17:15Fringe just cut French. Yeah
17:18Anything else you want to talk about?
17:20About your feelings. No, you know, it's just you pick Anna
17:27It's nothing personal and you know, we have two different aesthetics and it'll just be fun to see those two aesthetics side-by-side
17:35right Anna
17:40All right, goodbye
17:42Wow, there's gonna be a really
17:48I'm real scared
17:55Roger what are you doing?
17:57This is all the tops of the jeans. Yeah, this is gonna be a jumpsuit
18:01Yeah, and I also did the artwork with bleach. So that's gonna be the back of a jacket a lot of look
18:05It is a lot. I know but this is a lot of look
18:09Listen this man scares me here. I
18:13Know it's head-to-head. It's head-to-head with bitch me and you know, it's never a game
18:17Yeah, I'd rather have enough and edit later. What if uh-huh? Just curious. Uh-huh
18:23You've done a lot of jackets. They love a jacket could be interesting to have something different
18:29Because of course you're gonna do a denim jacket
18:32Maybe not. Maybe you're not maybe you're gonna surprise them
18:35Yeah, but don't not do it if it's your heart is set and you want to do it because of me
18:39I want you to be you. I just want you to think about it a little bit
18:43This weaving is beautiful. And I think with the time I'm committing to this jumpsuit idea
18:49Fish me. Hi there Christian
18:52Gorgeous I was thinking of like what a dress would be if I just like cross it over
18:57I just did upside down with like some pockets at the top
19:00Once I get that done, I won't make like a faux fur jacket out of it out of the denim
19:04I'm gonna cut it and shred it so it can look like a fur jacket. That's a lot of work
19:09It's looking really beautiful. I hope you get to the coat. That's my thought
19:13Thank you
19:21Ron is that what you're making? Is that gonna happen? It's gonna happen. It's like a couture denim gown. Yeah
19:27I just gotta make it you got to make it in a one-day challenge. Yeah, you people are crazy
19:34Ellen Brittany picked you right? Yeah, she did pick me. Oh, yeah, I'm with me. What do you think about that?
19:39I mean she had to pick somebody right?
19:44I mean, it's not gonna be friends always I
19:47Wasn't surprised. I was shocked that Brittany shows me that to me didn't make any sense. But hey, I'm definitely gonna miss her
19:54Brittany I mean you have a full dress. Yeah, I don't know what that dress is
19:58I want to do something like sporty like Canadian Ivy Park if denim Dan was CEO of Ivy Park. Okay
20:04Yeah, okay. I thought like making some like sporty stripes on like a slip dress. Okay, so the so uh-huh
20:12This is not the dress this is not the dress no
20:17Are you nuts?
20:18Yeah, kind of all the things that you can make you're gonna make this little boring dress that you can get anywhere
20:25Get out of here
20:39This is not the dress it's not the dress. No, it has to be drama
20:43Ronces is gonna be perfectly sewn. We know that sure. So yours has to be innovative and like something stylish that you would want to wear
20:50That's what it has to be a very cool girl. Yeah, okay
20:52Can you do that? Yes. Okay. Have a great day
21:01You have about an hour until your models come and then a total of like less than three hours and don't forget
21:08$5,000 for the winner
21:10See you later
21:13I
21:15Didn't go good. I change up the dress of it. Mm-hmm, but he likes a jacket idea and you know how it is
21:21Christian not loving the dress. That's very fair
21:24I
21:25Have all of these jeans that have these hymns that have the stripes and I think that the judges would be really impressed that I created
21:31my own textile
21:33Sort of heaviest jacket in the entire world
21:35I do need to really push it because I know that whatever Lawrence makes is just gonna be spectacular
21:41And all I could think is oh
21:46Did anybody get one of those denim shirts, I'm so hot. I'm like a real t-shirt. Maybe it's perfect for the challenge. There you go
21:52Oh
21:56My god
22:04He's just a t-shirt stare, what does it say rule number one don't play with nobody
22:10That's true number two. Don't let nobody play with you the end
22:16Nobody with me I got cut those t-shirt on
22:18I
22:44Can go in more
22:49Yeah, I might do a crop jacket so it's not like yeah everything around or it's to the floor
22:57Laurent she has no
23:00Boobs I have 30 minutes to give a boo. That would be a really great thing. I know
23:04How about this?
23:06Better are you trying anything? What are you gonna try? You can't even pin it on
23:11Trust me
23:13What's happening with these pants, what are you gonna do I need it flat so I can go back and do all this
23:18To have you actually bigger in your measurements five minutes everybody
23:22Bitch me. Are you cutting fringe? Yes
23:27You are perfect for yeah, well, it's looking cool
23:31Thank you a lot of pins. I don't like taking things apart. So I really just wanted to sit in here
23:36Yeah, and then you dig in the right direction
23:38Gun it. I'm not gonna cut you. Don't worry
23:41Yeah, I like it Brittany. Is that fit over her butt it will but I mean is that I gotta put a zipper on the back
23:47It's all pinned together. I feel really good about it. Okay, I know it's gonna fit one minute Anna hurry up
23:55All right designers, that's it that's time. Thank you so much
24:03Thank you, good night
24:05Good luck
24:15The tie-dye effect I want is almost like using the bleach in a different form
24:19So I'm taking my fabric and bunching it up and right where the elastic is
24:23I'm pouring the bleach so that it sinks in and because of the scrunching that's going on with the elastic
24:27It's gonna create kind of like a starburst effect
24:30Feels good. I hear tie-dye is definitely something we do in Liberia. I love eyes
24:35It's actually me once again adding that African culture and ethnicity to what I do
24:40And I love the fact that it's something that originated from my homeland
24:4415 minutes guys. You got to get the head out of my house
24:50Your text is great. Thank you
24:53And
24:59Have you done this bleaching before yeah, so if I wanted the whole thing white do I just soak in the bottle?
25:05The only thing is you have to bleach your whole dress tonight. You can't put bleach on the model's skin
25:10It's too lethal like this can burn somebody's skin. So you have to wash the bleach off. So it's a gamble
25:16I'm telling Anna all the 411 on the denim and she's like, okay, and she's still doing what she's doing
25:21I'm like, you know what you can't say I didn't try to help her. Peace out. I gotta go wash out my dinner
25:28All right, you guys time's up. Let's go to the night lounge to get some drinks
25:34Let's go
25:52I
25:57Screamed a nice way to take our minds off the exhaustion of a sweaty one-day challenge
26:22I
26:24Put that fabric on her without washing it. She's gonna come back
26:29And then the inhale that the whole I don't want to be part of that runway show I'll tell you that
26:40I made my whole outfit the other day, even though I was on the bottom in five hours
26:44I realized that I have to start over if I cannot make this dress in five hours. That's good
26:52You
26:59All right, let's go five hours
27:05Walk quickly move quickly and are you starting over? Yes, mommy. Thank you a chemical bomb always on my table
27:13Today is gonna be crazy. I believe myself. I'm a mom. I can make a baby. I can make this dress
27:18I am NOT changing my concept because I don't have time. No talking. Just be focused and finish it
27:31Are you using the tie-dye fabric I am I definitely feel like the risk I took to tie-dye was a good risk
27:38I never like to follow the crowd. Anyways, they're all over here and I went this way
27:42I just wanted to add another element to it to my face off with you. We'd be facing off today
27:47You coming with it over there. I gotta come with it. I
27:51Know you got the juice
27:58And a banana, hey, how are you doing?
28:02Doing yeah, no one stitch mistake allowed here. Damn. It's a lot of venom up in this bitch. It's getting done
28:08I feel real jeans you right about now. I don't know about you, but that's how I feel
28:14I learned to draw inspiration from moments in my childhood. My sister was a fashionista
28:20She had a particular jumpsuit that I fell in love with as a kid
28:22I was curious about how it was created technically the strips were woven into each other that looked almost like a cage
28:28But with that said the skirt length is a little bit too short for my liking
28:32But at this point it's a one-day challenge and it's too late because establishing the shape of the cage weaving detail takes a lot of time
28:38I
28:43Everybody
28:50Fabulous in here. Oh so excited. Let's see
29:01What is that that was the one you saw last night, I wish the whole thing and it didn't work
29:05I didn't know after washes. So I what do you mean?
29:08You have to rinse it off. I didn't know so I don't know the whole thing again
29:13You just what?
29:15I would have never touched police. I gave my life. Okay me. Yeah, I trust you. Good luck
29:21I'm glad I washed mine off. I know
29:27Just a little jokey joke it's a tough room in here guys. Are you done? I wouldn't be here if I was done a
29:35Lot of tension in this room give us a one-day that's what happens one day challenges are fun
29:43Let's get the models in here
29:50A jacket looks really good. She was my linty mess
29:56Thank you, yeah, just like that you see what I did with the top I added some
30:04It is stressful. Of course, I'm scramming for time, but I love the look so now it's a matter of finishing it
30:11Are you gonna put the top on Rami? Yes. Yes. I'm not naked. I promise
30:15Alright designers when you're ready, take your model to the makeup studio and the trust me hair salon use the accessory wall
30:21Well, some of these looks don't need much
30:34I want to use this chain more around the face
30:38All right designers. We're leaving this room in 15 minutes. No way
30:43$5,000 on the line. I could use that. Oh
30:47Head-to-head battles. This is stressing me out
30:51Finally I'm really proud of my look but my downfall
30:55May be that I picked the best denim craftsman in the entire world. Damn it
31:04Witness look I think is very cute. I mean how many puffer jacket we're gonna make on the season. I
31:12Came from blood and more
31:14Wow, this is a lot of work it was and that's how we do it five minutes and we're leaving this room
31:19I'm not sure how the judges are going to kind of perceive both of our looks
31:22Kato's look is more conservative than mine. My look is more hip and edgy. That's not a read. That's just observation
31:29Don't come after me Kato
31:31All right designers, that's it that's time let's head to the runway are we excited
31:40Last look five minutes get going
31:44You fix the dress let her fix the neck
31:47All right designers two minutes
31:49Carousel in two minutes. Are you serious? This thing? Hang? What's that? Yeah, like a drawstring. Oh, really? Yeah
31:56Anna one minute
31:59I'm very competitive. I beat my kids at games. I go for the jugular. I'm sorry. May the best person win
32:05All right designers. That's it. Judges are taking a seat. There's gonna be a great show
32:21Designers as you can see Nina is still not here, but she will be back next week in her place
32:28we are honored to have an award-winning global fashion designer an
32:32Expert in denim and a catalyst for the evolving fashion scene Willie Chavarria
32:40Hi designers, I'm familiar with some of you. I'm very happy to meet you and very happy to see your work
32:48Willie will be a great person for this challenge because he's used denim in so many different ways
32:53We're also very excited to introduce your guest judge for this challenge
32:57Actress model the it girl of the moment. She goes viral just by going to the grocery store
33:04New York City's very own Julia Fox
33:09Thank you guys so much for having me I'm so starstruck right now
33:13I love denim and I just can't wait to see what you guys have come up with
33:17Junior Fox is definitely an icon in this industry
33:20Julia Fox is uncut jams
33:23This head-to-head battle thing is really stressing me out
33:28Imagine how stressed you guys are. We cannot wait to see what you did with all this denim. Let's start the show
33:50Overall my luck is dope. It has the pressure a fail
33:57I
34:06Hope the judges see the labor that went into this. It is a very interesting concept. I just wish had a bit more time
34:27I am over the moon about this overall design
34:47Hoping the judges see the balance in between the flirtiness, but also the cool moment that the jacket and the dress are providing
34:57I
35:10I'm very confident in my look the color and the teeth. I love the elevation that it gave to the fabric
35:27I really feel like my look should be on top in the winner of this face-off because I really took something different and made it
35:32new again
35:34It's 100% kato, but innovative in different way
35:50As Sinead's walking down the runway she looks sexy the cage detail looks pretty chic
35:58Overall the vest bits are really great. The shoulder detail looks cool
36:04Considering that it's a one-day challenge. I think that it's a cool look
36:25Oh my god, it looks good
36:27There was no time to pick different Shannon, but even though it's not white. It is still very strong. I
36:38Think my silhouette and idea is stronger than carousel and I think my design is more modern and shit
36:58I feel so good seeing lyra's hit the runway the halter dress fits her perfectly and I think it hit all the marks
37:07I
37:22Every look I've had for every single challenge has been different and I feel strongly that this design will prevail
37:31No
37:36I
37:41Dress on the runway looks fantastic wherever she's going is where I want to go
37:49For the challenge I checked all the boxes it's a gown and you know, I made it look classy and couture. That's dope
38:06I want to be the leather queen, but in the competition, I just have to remind people that I do everything
38:25This look is everything
38:28The puffer coat has such a presence on the runway. The ombre is amazing and
38:33The dress with the frayed him textile is perfection
38:41I am proud of what I was able to do and having to have pivoted in a window challenge. Honestly, I'm kind of blown away
38:50Both these were so good. Yeah
38:52Oh
39:00This is really hard I would wear everything that I just saw come out and I'm sweating and I'm not okay
39:07Every look here looks so good
39:10This is really tough the four designers who win their battles
39:14Will be up for the win the four designers who lose their battle will face elimination
39:23You

39:28We had four head-to-head battles the four designers who win their battles will be up for the win and the $5,000 prize
39:36The four designers who lose their battle will face elimination. We've scored your designs
39:42fish me Cato
39:44Carousel and Laurence you are
39:49The winners of your head-to-head battles
39:53I
39:56Say
39:57Rami
39:59Brittany and Anna
40:02Unfortunately, one of you will be out but we'd like to speak with all of you tonight. Why don't we start with our top four?
40:09Fish me. Let's get your model out here
40:16All right, tell us about the look tell us about the process my hand
40:20I've been doing massages because I cut all the denim out or my jacket. I'm always showing like my edgy side
40:26I never show like a cool classy side
40:28I did some pleating at the top and added the back pockets on the front. It looks fantastic. Thank you
40:33We live in a time right now when we're not doing for looking for alternatives, but this gives you the same glamour
40:39Thank you
40:40I thought that there was such a forward nature to the jacket and was really nice to see the denim used in a way that
40:47Became its own
40:49Fabrication it was the only on the runway that felt like a new material
40:52I saw a jacket like this on a runway in Milan a month ago. Like I just can't get enough of it. I love it
40:57I can't get enough of you. I love you
41:01Can we see the back of the dress without the jacket, yeah
41:05It's so well-made really really sexy. Thank you Mimi. You can leave the runway
41:12All right, Kato. Let's get your model out here
41:19Kato tell us about the look I use this dark jean in the workroom
41:24I just couldn't see the design. So I'd wanted to lighten it up a bit so you could be able to see the details
41:29Where'd you get the ink from? It was just bleach. I tie-dyed it. So it's rubber bands. This is like a technique
41:34We use a lot in Liberia called a lap eyes the bleaching really invited us to
41:40Look closer and there are so many great details
41:42You know the neck and I love that sort of sleeve coming out of the other sleeve is really modern and beautiful
41:49Thank you so much
41:50I was just blown away because it really doesn't even look like denim from this chair, which is appreciate
41:55After being in the bottom that didn't feel good. You know, I don't want to give another speech today
41:58I told him I was gonna be Rosa Parks today. I was Martin Luther King last week. I
42:03Love that there's always that hint of your heritage and as it comes together, it still feels really elevated Kato. Thank you
42:09Blues you can leave the runway. Thanks
42:12Cara Saan, let's get your model out here
42:20So Anna and Cara Saan great job, thank you
42:24Thank you for me what put Cara Saan on top of the two is the fit the fit was great and denim is really
42:31Challenging once I get that base in that Muslim and make sure she fits it perfectly then I go from there
42:36Like it is everything. Is there a bustier under this with boning? No
42:40You can really cut a boost. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, the craftsmanship is beautiful. Obviously, you're phenomenal at this
42:48Thank you. So it really shows in the end. It came down to fit and
42:54Construction. So while the vision and vibe of yours Anna felt to me more forward
42:59Like I could see Julia in that look I don't see Julia in this but at the same time
43:05It is a little bit more wearable for more women and that's not necessarily how we're judging this
43:09But it's so intricately made. Thank you. Yeah, Lyris. You can leave the runway
43:15Hate to see you go though
43:17All right, Laurence. Let's bring out your model
43:25Okay, where did you start why so I wanted to do on something that I haven't given you yet
43:31So I wanted to do a gown. I started with the sleeves my most important part then the body
43:36Then the back the neck the back
43:41When this came out I was like
43:44This is so good. You were the one designer that did a full couture red carpet look
43:50Magnificent. I'm not sure why we needed the spikes but the fit of that skirt
43:54I had chills looking at it because it is an idea
43:57No, you're gonna make me quite stop and that is what fashion is about. Nothing is ever new
44:01it's about doing it in a way that we haven't seen it before and
44:05This is that I agree with everything that has been said, but Laurence why the spikes? Yeah
44:20Thank God I agree with the spikes they weren't my favorite but it didn't look like anyone else's on the runway
44:26It was such an amazing princess moment. Thank you. Thank you so much when you can leave the runway. Thank you so much
44:34Now you are moving on to our designers who lost our head-to-head battles Brittany, let's bring out your model
44:46Brittany tell us about your look. I started out really simple slip dress and I was just like it's just way too plain
44:51So this is actually the hymns of like 20 different jeans, and I knew I wanted to do like a puffer coat
44:58I love this look and I love the styling and it was such a tough call
45:03I would have loved it if it was just the hems that you have going horizontal without that
45:08Yes, right going down the middle. I think there's a lot going on even without the stripe
45:12I mean, you know what? I mean a lot of the time it isn't even about clothes. It's about selling a vibe
45:16Yeah, and and she sold me. I want to go to where she's going. This was another tough one
45:22The construction is beautiful kind of wish there was more padding inside the hood to balance out with the jacket. Listen Brittany
45:29I think at the beginning of this competition
45:30You were really trying to find your footing while I could pick some things apart here. I'm seeing forward-thinking ideas from you. Thank you
45:37Brittany. Thank you so much
45:41Roger here comes to your model
45:47Willie what do you think?
45:48The craftsmanship here is remarkable all of the detail. I just didn't get taken with the silhouette
45:55I do like where the construction of kind of the bralette is going and the back probably didn't need to be open
46:02The idea was to kind of continue the weaving creating that v-shape, but we're out of time
46:08I need to see something that grabs me
46:11unfortunately this
46:13Missed the mark
46:25What do you think would you wear it if it were just pants and maybe just the bralette I would wear it because right now
46:31It's just busy with me. Of course. I'd like to add different colors
46:34I don't understand the red lip the earring the ring the caged booties, but ultimately it just didn't feel
46:41Flattering for your model. Sometimes you need to abandon the inspiration and make sure you're putting a look down the runway that
46:47Highlights the best of the body that you're working with and you have a beautiful body
46:51Yeah, you know today just the elements didn't come together
46:54Emily you can leave the runway
46:57Anna here comes your model
47:02Tell us about your look this is my first denim piece in my life and
47:07This piece actually had only five hours the first seven hours. I made a dress
47:11It was almost done, but I bleached it. I couldn't have time to wash it
47:16So the whole thing that I made it was ruined. So for me these five hours
47:20I just want to put my idea out my vision. What did the other dress look like company to you white?
47:24I didn't need the face chains
47:26I didn't need the metallic silver booty, but I really appreciated the vision and the vibe. Thank you
47:33Yeah, I mean just for the record. I want to wear this dress. I really love it
47:36However, the fit is a little funny, but you know now telling me that you only had five hours to make this
47:42You know, I feel like okay. I was like, I'd still wear it
47:44I'll make it your one perfect fit. I know tonight that you were really attempting to make sure that this was very ready-to-wear
47:50Unfortunately, this was almost like more editorial than you've ever done
47:53I would have loved to have seen a slit in the back or one of those cut open so that she was able to walk
47:59And I think that unfortunately all the elements together today just felt very torturous. Thank you so much Anna. Yeah. Thank you
48:06Roberta you could leave the runway
48:08All right, Rami. Let's get your model out here
48:14Rami tell us what happened start to finish
48:17I wanted to create a plaid sort of effect against her skin and boostier detail
48:22but through the strips of denim the cage around the midriff felt dated and
48:27This look didn't feel cohesive to me. Yeah, the two pieces are beautiful alone, but they don't feel like they go together
48:34We start with the jacket lapel is sick
48:36The sleeve is great. And then all of a sudden we get to the lower part the length of the skirt
48:42It just doesn't feel like forward doesn't feel modern
48:45There was a hardness to this tonight that didn't feel like something that I recognized from you when it comes to denim
48:53I kind of wanted to push into a new direction and try something different. Yeah. Thank you so much Rami Shanae
48:59You can leave the runway
49:01Designers, we appreciate the insight into all of your looks. Sadly, we have to do our jobs now and
49:06We're going to ask you to leave the runway
49:13Oh
49:19Okay, we have four designers who won their head-to-head battles tonight, but there can only be one winner
49:24Carousel was great, but not necessarily the winner. Yeah, okay. Should we start with Bish me?
49:30I love fish me's jacket the dress
49:33However, it did fall a little flat fish means decision to go for that faux feather effect on that jacket was so smart
49:41But I have to agree like the dress was basic. I'm looking at the overall like did that did I feel inspired?
49:46I feel something. Okay, then it's art and you feel something when you look to the Ronces. I did. Let me tell you something
49:52I felt something from head to toe. It's still the show immediately for me 100% except for those spikes
49:58I agree, but I love when a woman's garment is sexy without showing a lot of skin
50:08It's okay, I'm not going for sexy
50:12Okay
50:14Cut Joe was also in the top purse didn't look like anyone else's on the runway
50:18Kato basically created a completely different fabric out of denim
50:22It didn't look recycled or patchwork or anything. There were some details in there that were amazing. Yeah collar
50:29Their sleeve the peekaboo moment was fantastic. I loved that. Well, I think we all know who our winner is. Yeah
50:36Yeah, now we have to choose someone to go home
50:39Although she was in the bottom. We all loved Brittany. Yeah
50:43All right, let's move on to Anna because I know that the denim ladies loved Anna's
50:50I could really see myself wearing this. I would either make it a little shorter and make it a little bit longer
50:55I'm not sure. I don't know if I was a hundred on the cut, but I don't think she should go home
51:00I could see directly through the crotch of the dress because the fit was off. That's not a deal-breaker for me
51:04I
51:07Think like that
51:09It's all about fit and I actually think the stretch fabric would probably work in her favor had the fit been better
51:16Yeah, it could have helped with the walking. Can we please discuss Rami because that's that wasn't a vibe
51:20It's a hot that lodge. It looked like he just threw all his ideas at it
51:25I think he was very ambitious and I think he didn't have enough time to look up and say does my look feel fashion-forward
51:32But on the other hand Anna took five tops of the pairs of your skirt that you're wearing and she layered them on top
51:37Of each other. Yeah, but it looked cool. His did not. Okay, but guys we have to talk about project Raji had a rough night
51:43He does street wear so well that this should have been his challenge. But for some reason he lost
51:51Focus, I think project just missed the mark by again not removing. Yeah, I was really shocked that it was project
51:59I don't even know what this look gave me and whether you liked Rami's look or not
52:04At least I have seen things from him that have a clear well-constructed point of view
52:08I don't think project should go home over this. So who is it?
52:13This is a nail-biter. I don't think we all agree, but we know who's gonna go home. Yes
52:20Yeah
52:29Fish me
52:31Kato
52:32Kairos on and the rocks the four of you showed up and showed out tonight. Thank you
52:38And one of you will win

53:03the winner is
53:08Laurence
53:17I like seeing excited Laurence
53:19Your gown really stood out to us because you showed us that denim can go anywhere on a farm
53:27But also on a red carpet. Thank you. Kato and Bish me you two are also in thank you
53:33You may all leave the runway. Thank you
53:36Congratulations, you got the money

53:58Brittany
54:01You are in
54:03You can leave the runway
54:07Anna the fit of your design was off
54:11Rami the look was not modern and it had way too many ideas
54:15Project your design desperately needed editing
54:23Rami you are out. I'm so sorry. It's okay. Thank you
54:33Anna Raj a that means you were both in and you may leave the runway
54:42You know, you're amazing
54:45Appreciate it
54:48It is
54:49one of the most odd and
54:52Strange things to be sending you home when I think that you had such a part in my own journey to being here
54:58It's really been a pleasure to be in your presence. I appreciate that. It's been a pleasure meeting all of you and
55:05As a Palestinian, I feel very proud
55:08I come from privilege where I'm able to stand here in front of you
55:11So for me personally, that is a win. So yeah, thank you for the opportunity. It's been a pleasure meeting and working with you
55:17Thank you. Thank you. Thank you
55:20What a class act. Oh like actually hate it
55:31When I say you're an inspiration to me, it's not just words, thank you. I learned everything from you. I appreciate it
55:37Thank you. I'm disappointed. I
55:40Still believe in myself and believe in this look and believe in my design
55:44Having the opportunity to speak to the judges about my work through each challenge is a great platform to also
55:50Hopefully inspire somebody out there to follow their dream. Hi guys
55:56LeBron's congratulations. Thank you Rami to see you leave. It's so hard because I feel like I know how good you are
56:02You know, I think maybe they don't get my work and that's okay
56:06But you know, I know that my customers do and well and that's what my main focus is
56:11Yeah, I think in my like heart. I just don't want you to leave yet
56:17So I'm gonna use my save what
56:27I'm very emotional about this. I just don't want you to leave yet. It's very hard
56:37Yeah
56:39You just are so good you've got to show them I don't feel like I was given a chance. Yeah now
56:45You're gonna show them
56:46But I want you to know I never had a chance to tell you this because I was there from the beginning
56:51I'm so proud of you seeing you do all this amazing stuff
56:55Like it's really special and I just want you to know it's somebody who's been there from day one
56:59Yeah, next challenge. You have to kill it. You just have to show what you do. Okay, please
57:06Happy Hercules
