Previously on Project Runway: some people decided
to be on TV again. We started with a team challenge, just to get that out of
the way, and everyone had to make collections based on “attitude”. Really you
couldn’t tell them apart. Everyone was nice (for now). Anthony Ryan won, which
was nice for him, and Peach couldn’t marry her tennis clothing to the
collection so she went home. (click for more)
Everyone goes to the Nine West showroom and drools
over the shoes. Today’s challenge is to create “show stopping party wear”. Inspired
by…wait for it…DISCO. Jeez. Wendy celebrates because she finally feels an
advantage, having actually lived through the 70’s. I hope Josh has studied the
70’s since his season. Everyone gets to pick out a shoe and base their design
off that. There’s a 70’s line. It’s all platforms and so forth. Everyone picks
out who goes next. Laura whines she’s picked second to last. Maybe they know I’m
awesome! Whatevs. They must update disco. One day to sew. Winner will be
featured in the fall ad campaign.
Andrae is making volume on top. Uli thinks her
disco was different since she wasn’t in America. Casanova talks spiderwebs. $200
budget. Andrae is looking for fabrics with “vocabulary”. Ivy is making a
jumpsuit. Wendy wants to make leather pants and chains and something.
Most people have color, but Uli has white. Josh interviews
he is happy Anthony Ryan won because he wants everyone to know how talented
Anthony Ryan is. Althea says Laura is a little annoying, and then implies she’s’
not a “real” designer. She hasn’t done anything yet, really, but OK. Kayne says
“fitted pant, fitted, a little sha-nay-nay, and then boom! Donna Summer.” Hee. “Sha-nay-nay”
apparently is chevrons. Casanova likes this challenge because he seems to be interpreting
“70’s party wear” as “slutty”. Wendy and Suede are randomly friends? Says
Wendy? OK. Kayne gets down on the floor so he can line up his stripes, only he’s
discovering he didn’t quite buy enough fabric to do that. Suede is going to
learn from his feedback last week and focus. Wendy is desperate to use the
chain belt thing she bought. She’s got a big square buckle. Josh makes a “Mad
Max” reference, except that Thunderdome was in 1985. Casanova is talking about “tangles”
or something, but I can’t understand him. He tells Laura it’s a wig. Heh.
Joanna time! Kayne says “Donna Summer” and Joanna
warns him about lining up the stripes. Uli has a white sequined top. Not 70’s.
Josh! Be show-stopping, don’t stop the show! I don’t know what it means either.
Laura! The word “blazer” makes Joanna shrivel up! Ivy covers her ass with her dark
jumpsuit by saying she’s trying to make the shoe pop, for the ad campaign. Joanna
asks if she’s working for the prize and not the challenge. Oo. Andrae seems to
be doing what he did last time. Suede’s pants are deemed “white man’s overbite”.
Joanna demonstrates dorky white man dancing, making a face like Austin Powers.
Hee. Wendy has found a weird round buckle that has a star pattern? Ew. Emilio
maybe is tacky. There are too many people so we don’t get more than a soundbite
for most people. Casanova is making sure there won’t be any wardrobe
malfunctions when his girl is dancing.
Model fitting. People talk about other people’s designs.
Althea doesn’t like Ivy’s look, and says something about feeling better about
yourself? Is Ivy supposed to feel better about herself when her model is
wearing things? I’m not sure what she’s talking about. Lots of mad scrambling.
When time is up, for some reason Kayne makes them
all go in the lounge and announces Disco Time. Naturally someone installed a
disco ball in the lounge. Sigh. Josh starts dancing, because of course, and
Wendy decides she must dance with him. What? Oh, Wendy. Then everyone goes back
to the hotel and finds a letter from Carolyn and Karl Langerfeld has left them
a video message. They all scream like teenage girls scream at Bieber. He says
to be creative and do a good job, I guess.
Andrae might not have time to finish. Wendy loves
her pants. Hot Makeup Guy Scott (they showed his name again!). Running.
Casanova helps Ivy while Anthony Ryan interviews that All-Stars shouldn’t need extra
help. Andrae takes it down to the last minute.
Guest judge today is Rafe Totengco, who designs Nine
West’s handbags. Carolyn has a backless dress with a giant cutout on the side. Emilio:
long yellow satin gown with hot pink accents. The neck and sash are pink. I can’t
really see the shoes. It’s fine, if very bright. Wendy: black leather bell
bottoms with a sort of lizard-y print, and a draped top in a red and white
print. The top is held up by a chain halter, and there is chain hanging off the
side of pants. It looks kind of slutty, to be honest. Anthony Ryan: short
sheath dress in multiple shades of brown? Olive green? The sides are dark, and
there is a panel of beige, only the panel is slightly narrower on top. Also his
girl looks like she has a food baby, so I’m not sure what is going on there. Casanova:
hot pink draped dress, that is blousy in front with a bandeau miniskirt. The back
is open, with knotted strings all across it. It’s cool. Suede: long gold lamé
gown with a high neckline and all the fabric gathered in the back like a cape. I
think the skirt looks sheer? It looks pretty sheer. The skirt is gathered at
one hip. I don’t like it. Andrae: a weird gauzy wrap, in purple, and a red
sleeveless top with a high neck, and a maroon pencil skirt. Andrae says he
thinks she tucked the top into the back of her bra.
Ivy: short green dress, with illusion netting and
sparkles on the top and a straight neckline. The bodice is blousy, and then
there is either a miniskirt or hot pants, and a sheer overlay to her knees. Uli:
short white dress, with a ton of long fringe and grommets and sequins. Fringe as
sleeves? I don’t know how 70’s it is. Josh: OK when Josh’s model walks out, she
looks freakishly tall for some reason. Teal pantsuit, with a sleeveless top
that has shiny lapels and no back. Interesting. Laura: shiny gold jacket
(blazer) that is cropped, and a jumpsuit in a striped fabric. It’s maybe a
light bronze? The stripes are shiny. Althea: short sheath dress in raspberry
and a lighter pink. There are lots of strips of fabric dangling off the back of
the dress. The top is in the lighter color, and then the bottom is the
raspberry. Kayne: bronze sequined tank top and very wide pants in a similar color
with chevrons. Nice. They look good.
Anthony Ryan, Emilio, Althea, Laura, Josh, and Suede
are safe. Ivy didn’t want to overpower the shoe. Georgina likes the skirt? Also
the gold in the shoes and the dress. Isaac wanted the sparkles to continue onto
the back of the dress. Rafe wishes it was shorter but overall she got good
reviews. Wendy says how she likes tuxedos, so…leather bell bottoms. What? There
is too much going on, and it’s nowhere near a tuxedo. Isaac thinks it’s too
junior. Kayne also didn’t want to compete with the shoe, and Carolyn likes the silhouette
of the whole thing but maybe not the top. But he did line up his stripes
perfectly so good for him. Uli says free-spirited and not slutty. Rafe loves
it. Isaac says “futuristic Cherokee”. Heh. But there is a lot going on here too.
Whatever. Casanova has a good detail in the back, and they love that it’s sexy
but not “dangerous”, I guess in terms of flashing people. Casanova has a good
detail in the back, and they love that it’s sexy but not “dangerous”, I guess
in terms of flashing people. Andrae tries to describe his top and babbles and
then has to stop. The jacket ruins the look. No one likes it, and Andrae flails
but doesn’t disagree.
Uli maybe wasn’t 70’s, but they liked the dress. Ivy’s
dress was fun but is it disco? Isaac admits that an older woman would look like
that, which is worse. Casanova had a great party dress, but Georgina’s seen it.
Wendy had way too many things, but Georgina thinks there was potential and
creativity. Was Andrae lazy? Or was his top and skirt just random? Hilariously Rafe
says he watched Andrae on his previous season and he maybe doesn’t have what it
takes. Kayne put a lot of work into matching up the stripes, but the top was
boring.
Casanova is in. Uli is the winner! Even though
she didn’t fulfill the challenge! Look, I love Uli, but that dress wasn’t “disco”.
Ivy is in. Kayne is in. Andrae made the same thing he made last week, and Wendy
wasn’t modern. Andrae is in. Aww, Wendy is out? I guess she won’t get that
redemption edit. Wendy will miss Suede and everyone seems sad to see her go.
Suede is really upset.
This season (?): everyone freaks out and cries
and stuff. Didn’t we see this last week? The season-wide preview? What? Who was
supposed to be in charge of that?
