Oh, snap.
Don't touch.
My gosh.
Can I have this?
Oh, this is nice as hell.
Whoa amazing.
Christian, come in.
Come in.
Christian siriano's atelier is beautiful
and it's very inspiring.
He started from Project Runway and achieved all the success
in the world, so you have to believe that it's possible
and that you'll be there one day.
This is it.
You made it.
Doesn't it feel good?
Yeah good today you start to work on your collections
that you've been working for this entire competition.
This is such an amazing opportunity.
You get to make whatever you want to make.
Be who you want to be.
Shock not only the judges, but the whole world is watching.
So it's one of those great moments.
You know, I think you really have
to take the judges on a journey, and I think that they'll
really appreciate that.
Yeah, I have a good surprise for you.
We're going to give you some help this week.
Oh, because you need it.
Eight looks and 8 days is wild.
Yeah we're going to bring back some
of your eliminated friends.
Whoa OK.
Carosone and Fabio.
Oh, fish me.
I won the last challenge.
You get the advantage of picking first.
Of course.
I'm going to pick my good, good girlfriend project.
I don't think we're going to fight anyway.
We're going to fight Fabio.
Like, no brainer.
Yeah, I love.
And we're also going to give you $10,000,
and you guys can go anywhere in the fashion district
that you want.
Yeah, baby, because the clothes got to be good.
Yes listen.
Yes, it is big stakes, all stars.
You have to impress these judges.
Yeah, yeah, this is it.
Yes all right.
Bye, Christian.
Thank you.
This is the very first type of like freedom
to shop fabrics all around the garment district.
We have 3.5 hours to shop.
Elaine really wants me to, like, lean into who I am.
So my strategy is to create a collection that embraced
this activewear path, but also progressing into activewear
as like evening wear and use color
to tell a story of things that just get more and more intense.
Anything else or anything?
No, that's it.
On to the next.
I'm one of the most commercial designers in this competition.
Yes to do activewear as high fashion is really risky.
But it doesn't mean that I can't give a very inspiring, just
absolute killer runway show.
Hello how are you?
How are you?
Good my specialty is leather.
This is actually nice.
There's a couple like that, but I'm
going to do some things that people
don't really expect of me, which is playing with colors.
This color is nice.
Greens, purples, red and white, different types
of fabrics to do like a mix.
So I have this color.
That color I have Black.
I always listen to Madame Nina, so I'm
really playing with the masculine and feminine,
the hard or soft.
Basically, my collection is a marriage of the two.
Thank you so much.
Yes, baby.
That's what I'm looking for.
All the good signs today.
Fashion is literally my diary, my saving grace, my religion.
I really, really love this.
The vibe from my collection is inspired
by my process of grieving.
I want to showcase what I'm feeling and how I'm feeling.
She's cute.
I'm balling on a budget this time.
I know for sure I'm going to use white cream, Black
and different shades of red.
Oh, that's dope.
To be able to tell my story with my collection
is my way of being able to honor my sister.
OK, guys, it's.
It's real.
It's really real.
Hold on.
I got it.
You are so sweet.
Hello hello, room.
I kind of like this setup right here.
And order for me to calm my nerves and just making it
feel at home.
I put up my sister's obituary.
She going to be here making the collection with you?
My sister told me before she transcended that I got this.
I dedicate this all to her.
Let's get it, baby.
This is both.
Yay I. I thought, this is a coat.
Yeah this is beautiful.
What? you over here cutting? Yeah, cutting.
Number two. Cutting number.
You're on number two.
Damn, she cut number two.
I don't have no goals.
The frame that we have to produce this collection
is insane.
I'm going to have some flowers here.
In this was in your head.
I'm just going as I go.
Do I know what I'm making yet?
No, I do not, because I don't have any drawings.
My collection.
It's a little blurry in my mind.
I can't believe this is finally done.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, man.
I'm tired.
Yeah, it's been a day, but it's time for us to go.
Let's go do the dance.
Day one down, baby.
