- From the Isles of Michaels to your own home, fashion.
I actually used to work in fashion
before I started here at Buzzfeed.
I went to FIDM, graduated as a designer,
and then I went on to work for Jeremy Scott,
who is the creative director at Moschino now.
And then I had my own line
and I would show in L.A. Fashion Week,
and I would make all my own stuff from scratch.
- I am a long-time crafter
and a long-time watcher of Project Runway,
and I have no other experience making clothes
whatsoever, so I think I'll do great.
- Yes.
Not bad, okay.
- Okay, that's a good spread.
- Can I use that sofa?
- Floor length. - Floor length, okay.
- [Curly] Oh, wow.
- That's a lot.
- Somewhat formal?
See, that's where I'm like, aw man.
- Okay.
- Two and a half hours, okay.
- Yay!
- What!
- How much?
(upbeat music)
- I like, I don't know.
- I'm gonna think of a color scheme.
(gasps)
- [Maggie Voiceover] So, for my dress,
I wanna do something that's David Bowie inspired
with a little Lady Gaga in it.
- [Curly Voiceover] When I saw the flowers,
I immediately knew that that's where I wanted to go.
Can I make something kind of halfway cool
with the materials that we were given?
- I feel like the person that would wear my dress
is someone who, of course, doesn't give a (bleep).
Someone who marches to their own
drumbeat is what I used to say.
- The kind of person who would wear
my dress is just a total badass.
- You know how many proms I went
to when I was in high school?
I went to a total of six proms.
So I just bought one suit and literally
just wore the same suit to everything.
- There was one prom I went to, and it sucked.
It was terrible.
There was no dancing.
As a lonely, insecure, horny teenager,
I just wanted to dance with boys.
(relaxing music)
- Am I making something nice,
or am I just gonna glue everything on the table?
Not that that's what you're doing,
but I'm just saying like.
(both laughing)
'Cause we can do that.
I can start gluing, you know what I mean?
- Setting myself for a lot of glue gun burns.
- Should I be nervous?
(both laughing)
- Now I just wanna put everything on,
but I know that's a bad idea.
(upbeat dance music)
- If I had more time to really refine it,
I bet you I could make this look really dope,
'cause I'm not mad at this already.
We got this, we got this.
- [Maggie] Yeah, we can do it!
We can make it work.
♪ Make it work ♪
If you all have Heidi Klum waiting here, I'm gonna freak.
I'm just gonna be like, take me home with you, Heidi.
♪ 15 minutes left, 15 minutes left ♪
(lively orchestral music)
(relaxing music)
This was really fun.
I had no idea where I was going with this.
It is what it is.
We made a dress out of things we found,
so if anybody knows fashion at all,
they'll know that this is beautiful.
- This was a lot of fun.
I kind of lost track of time.
- And now, some of our co-workers are gonna come
in and decide which of us made the best dress.
I feel like I'm gonna get some coffee today.
I can taste some coffee in the air.
- Oh, right, 'cause of the Starbucks card.
- The Starbucks card.
(laughs)
- This is insane.
- These are incredible.
- This one looks like really (bleep) awesome 80's vibe.
- This one definitely is way more
edgy and crafty and spacey.
- This one has a lot of imagination to it.
- Love you, love Curly,
but if I was going to prom, I don't know.
- Madonna-esque, alien.
- It's giving me Lady Gaga vibes.
- Ooh, yes!
- What would Curly wanna be in for a Grams?
That dress.
- There's a bow!
- So this one is definitely more I love nature
and I'm just effortlessly cool at this prom.
- This one is a little bit more elegant to me.
- I wanna try that one.
- Yeah, you can have that one and I'll take this one.
- This one's just more my vibe.
- I don't like nature, so I'm gonna go with this one.
(laughs)
- I gotta go with this one.
- I think I would wear this one.
- You know my ass would show up in something like this.
(upbeat drum music)
(Curly cheers)
- Oh my god!
All the years of crafting really paid off.
- Really paid off.
Good job, Maggie.
- Yes!
- You owe me coffee girl.
- I do.
Let's go coffee.
- Let's go get coffee. - Yeah, right now.
- Bye, guys.
- Bye!
(laughs)
