Good morning.
What do you want?
How do you feel?
I needed to sleep and grieve.
I was in the bottom last week!
My friend Victor went home.
I love you.
I'm really sad.
And it's just starting to become even more
fierce competition around here.
I do really respect what he does with corsets
and leather and costuming and stuff like that,
and he really loved it.
It just made it a little tough.
What did you say yesterday?
You're only as good as your last design on the runway.
Period. Yeah.
It's too dark for me.
It is spooky. Oh, my God.
Why? What is that?
Just what not to wear.
Oh.
Something's in there.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
What's going on y'all?
Christian what are you doing?
All right, designers, I came up with this next challenge
myself.
You did?
For this exact moment.
Oh.
OK.
Wait.
Whatever this is, I don't like it.
There comes a point in this competition when
you have to make your mark.
You have to find a way to separate yourself
from the rest of the pack and demand
that the judges take notice.
And now, with immunity off the table more than ever,
like we just saw.
One day you're in, the next can be out.
Literally scary.
I love it.
Yeah, I know.
Each of you must create a fabulous runway look.
From this single bolt of fabric.
Oh.
What!
Come on, baby.
What's so bad?
That's a big bolt of fabric.
It's such a primal red that this is
going to be hard to work with.
I'm going to make sure the workroom is stocked
with all the things you need.
Lining, crumb boning everything.
I don't want to hear it.
It's an even playing field.
Yeah.
That's what we need.
Yeah.
There are no other rules when it comes to the design.
You just get to do you.
So do I love the color red?
Not really.
But I'm so excited to put something
out on the runway that really just speaks to who I am.
All right, Korto, you won the last challenge.
So for your advantage, you get first choice of models.
Designers, I've always wanted to be here.
She cute. Girl.
You killed it.
But I pick Roberta.
Roberta. Work.
Fabulous.
Everyone else is going to get your model by a random draw.
Oh!
Here comes the fun part.
Jesus.
Really?
What does this mean?
It's 110 yards.
OK, you guys can decide how you divide it up amongst ourselves.
You guys have 45 minutes.
Divide the fabric up and sketch in the workroom.
Because guess what?
This is a one day challenge.
Yeah, I knew it was coming.
I hate one day challenges.
I wish it never existed.
Thanks, Christian.
You're the greatest.
This competition just got real.
Real.
Right now.
Real quick.
So this is the one bolt challenge,
which is very fitting, because I want to bolt out of here.
Come grab your fabric.
Here you go.
Yeah.
Take it to the crease.
Come on.
You can do it.
As a team.
There you go. I got it.
Oh.
I'm a queen.
Queens don't carry stuff.
Watch this.
Watch your step.
Please be careful.
One more step.
All right. All right.
Let's set it up. All right.
Let's go on.
How much?
7 yards.
Each team.
Take your 10.
OK Yeah.
I'm going to do it.
Because I promise you, I'm good at this one, two.
How does it feel? It's dense.
Yeah.
10.
I got you, baby.
I mean, I like the feel of it.
This is a really nice suite, huh?
Is that usable?
Yes.
This is actually very challenging.
Same boat, same colors, them fabric for all the designers.
This is crazy, but it can really push the designer
to do things creatively.
I'm a very conceptual designer, so I have to think
something outside of a box.
I am using ruffle constructed by the boning
to make the two pieces of the cage from the top of the hat
and to the body.
And to let the rest of the ruffle drape to the floor.
OK she drapes.
I'm definitely trying to do a gender bendy queer
fluid look for this challenge.
I've been wanting to do a pair of pants
where the crotch turns into a tie closure I think it's really
a cool, size, inclusive way of working because it
really can fit multiple shapes.
I really want to make a hat.
I think pants and a top and maybe
a jacket would be really good.
I just have so many ideas and I really hope I have
the time to get them all out.
So I'm thinking of making definitely separate.
I want a top that buttons up the front,
has little strappy details and then these like sleeves
that hang off the shoulder.
I want to just create this like beautiful full pant that
has a placket down the center of the leg
and it opens up where it's giving like old Adidas,
but high fashion.
Very sporty, cool girl.
So I'm finally getting to showcase my aesthetic.
Well, you've got to, like, give it depth somehow.
Yeah, I think I'll do that with, like, a cool top stitch.
Oh, it's going to get annoying over here.
I have my speed cutter.
Hester I love you, but it is so loud.
Does it not sound like a dying cow.
Coming back.
Crazy.
This is crazy, people.
