01:54This is Project Runway All Stars.
02:06Stars.
02:19Yes, it is me.
02:20I came back.
02:21I can't believe I came back either,
02:22but I am here, back, taking it for everything it is.
02:25We're leaving with the prize this time, period.
02:31Hmm.
02:33It's a whole lot fancier than I remember.
02:36Okay.
02:38First one in, last one out.
02:41Where the competition at?
02:44It has been a decade since I have walked into
02:48the Project Runway work group,
02:50and I'm hoping it's like riding a bike.
02:54What?
02:54Beautiful.
02:56How are you?
02:57Hello.
02:58Girl.
02:59It's been a minute.
03:00I'm so glad to see your thing.
03:01Oh my God.
03:03Last time I was on runway, I was married,
03:05and now I'm newly separated.
03:08I'm a single mom.
03:09So on the finale of season five,
03:11my four-year-old daughter walked the runway with me,
03:13and she's now 18.
03:15She's going to college this fall.
03:16Be a good girl, and not go to no college dorm parties.
03:19Mama, why are you 18 to life?
03:22And now I have a son, he's eight.
03:24I know I have a potty mouth, but I'm going to try not to.
03:27No bad words.
03:28I'm done.
03:29That's some bull .
03:30This is bull .
03:32I'm not going to do anything to embarrass you on TV.
03:37Don't try.
03:37I'm going to try my best.
03:40Now I'm focusing on leisure, comfort, and chicness.
03:45I do a lot of layering, but it's very based in my culture.
03:49I really try to use the folds and the pleats to just
03:52accentuate your woman's body.
03:53And it's my responsibility as an African designer to continue
03:57to grow who we are and just make it saucier.
04:01I'm very proud of you, Mama.
04:02Like, literally my inspiration to do great.
04:06You don't just do stuff and give up.
04:07It's not always going to work out.
04:09Look at me, I have a camera in a second.
04:10Twice.
04:11That's all.
04:13That means you're out.
04:14The winner of Project Runway All Stars is Seth Aaron.
04:23Congratulations.
04:26Hug her for us, too, please.
04:27I will, I will, I will.
04:29But my life doesn't reflect a second place person.
04:32You know what I'm saying?
04:34I hope you and me standing up there at the end, girl.
04:37Show them how it's done.
04:38You see all these, like, fancy tools and things?
04:40Yeah.
04:41We made it happen with way less, so.
04:43Right?
04:44So I did Project Runway season three back in the dinosaur
04:48years of, like, 2006.
04:50And I made top five, which I was elated.
04:52Was the only designer not from LA, New York, or Miami.
04:56Then I did All Stars in 2012.
04:58Made it to the top seven.
04:59So it's already been a journey.
05:01My hair has also been on a journey.
05:03Season three, I had this blondish, red, spiky,
05:07kind of mohockey do.
05:09And then I did All Stars.
05:11You know, my hair was thinning just a little bit.
05:14So I had to basically get some new hair.
05:16So now I'm back.
05:18You know, I decided to go all black.
05:20I know.
05:20I know how you do.
05:21You know, I'm dressing for the funeral of everyone else,
05:23except for you.
05:24You can be there with me, baby.
05:25See?
05:26So I was feeling the energy.
05:28Welcome to the party.
05:30Hi.
05:31Hello, beautiful.
05:32How are you?
05:33Good.
05:34I love you.
05:35I'm good.
05:36I was just enamored by your cleavage.
05:38I love a good cleavage moment.
05:39Oh, thank you.
05:40Anna, serving the tatas.
05:43Come on, girl.
05:44I like you already.
05:45Good to meet you, Anna.
05:46You're so pretty.
05:46I know.
05:48I love it.
05:50I had a regret for season 19.
05:53I definitely believe I myself will be the finale,
05:56but I couldn't.
06:02Oh, my God.
06:03Yes, yes, great.
06:06Last season, I had unexpected car accident.
06:10I couldn't control my emotion and focus on design
06:15and the competition.
06:16Good job, baby.
06:18Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
06:19Anna, your look was executed poorly,
06:22and it was not appropriate for a reunion show.
06:27Anna, you are out.
06:31Coming back this season and doing this all over again,
06:33I think I'm in a way better place.
06:36I am more confident than before.
06:39Anna, we're almost three here?
06:41Yeah?
06:41It's just us, girl.
06:42Just us girls.
06:44OK, girl.
06:46OK, let's see who else.
06:49Ah!
06:51Shady boots.
06:53Being here again, it's good emotions, and it's nerve emotions.
06:55Hi.
06:56How are you?
06:58Victor and I did All Stars 3 together.
07:00I think he's an amazing designer.
07:01But Victor is the shade king.
07:03It's good emotions and it's like nerve emotions.
07:06Hi! How are you?
07:09Victor and I did All Stars 3 together.
07:11I think he's an amazing designer.
07:12But Victor is the shade king.
07:15Jeffrey's look has that abuelita look to it.
07:18And that's grandma for people that don't know.
07:20Kato is, look, you could call it a curtain.
07:23Where's the design?
07:24I'm inspired by the era of punk neon.
07:27Are you crazy?
07:28You'll get that fan out and
07:31shade your little ass to death.
07:33But I think he knows not to test mama.
07:35You can't handle me. Don't come for me.
07:37So grab a drink.
07:38I'll call you later.
07:40First one in, last one out.
07:41Cheers, that's right.
07:43This time around, I don't know.
07:45There's a different vibe.
07:47But do not cross me, bitch, because I will cut you.
07:51Yeah, I love it there.
07:52It's just, it's very private.
07:54I have a car, you know?
07:56Okay, driving, all right.
07:58How's your kid? I remember you were pregnant.
08:00He's good.
08:01He's eight now.
08:02So he's pretty good.
08:03Aw.
08:04So he's grown.
08:05Yeah, he's a grown man.
08:06So I walk in and I don't think anybody knows who I am.
08:10Like, it's like, I don't even know why you're, like, famous and doing fashion shows.
08:13Like, what is that?
08:15I was like, there's like one last go.
08:17Yeah.
08:18One last go.
08:19Let's have fun.
08:20Let's have fun.
08:21Hi.
08:22Wait, where'd you come from?
08:23Okay, I thought you worked here.
08:25And what season are you?
08:28One.
08:29Ah!
08:30Yay!
08:31Of the originals!
08:32Yes!
08:33Yes!
08:34It's kind of iconic to see someone that was on season one and endured what they endured
08:40without having any history to prepare for.
08:42Of the originals!
08:43Last time you saw me, I was 21.
08:46I was fresh out of school.
08:48I had a mohawk.
08:51But my life has kind of gone in a different direction.
08:57And look, there's mommy.
08:59Oh, jeez.
09:00That is justice.
09:02Yeah.
09:03I'm leaving my husband and my kids for this opportunity.
09:07I'm very nervous.
09:08I think it's going to be crazy.
09:11I think this is good.
09:1418 years ago, I was interning at my company Authentic as a designer.
09:24Today, I'm the creative director.
09:25All right.
09:26No, no, no.
09:27I don't physically make clothes like I used to make clothes.
09:31I manage a team of designers.
09:34I let everybody do their thing.
09:36And then I select.
09:37And then we just bring products to the market.
09:40I've done some, you know, work with lots of different department stores.
09:45Then I've also had the really cool experience of doing projects like Kendall and Kylie.
09:51Just not a new ball gown.
09:53Cheers to you guys.
09:54You started it off.
09:55Cheers to you guys.
09:56It's all about career right now, y'all.
09:58I'm just honored, you know, giving me another chance.
10:01Kind of show everybody this is how far I've come and this is what I can do now.
10:07It's kind of cool.
10:08Yeah, right.
10:09Hello.
10:10Oh my God.
10:11Who is this?
10:12I'm back.
10:13I'm waxed.
10:14I'm waxed.
10:15And I am ready to compete.
10:18Hi, beautiful.
10:19Hi.
10:20Oh my God.
10:23But coming back, I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little anxious.
10:27Look at us.
10:28Come back, they said.
10:29It would be fun, they said.
10:34Hi, I'm Hester.
10:35Nice to meet you guys.
10:37Hello, gorgeous.
10:38Hi.
10:39I just went in from the house.
10:40Oh my God.
10:41Hi, teeny weeny.
10:42I feel very grateful that I was chosen amongst the people that are standing in front of me
10:47right now.
10:48But I'm a little bit intimidated.
10:49Are we really back here again?
10:51No, I know.
10:52What was I thinking?
10:53Not making a skirt.
10:54This is silk.
10:55Get out of this aisle.
10:56Sorry.
10:57I'm already exhausted.
10:58Goodbye.
10:59Stress level just skyrocketed.
11:00On that note.
11:01Hello.
11:02Welcome to the party.
11:03Oh my.
11:04Oh my.
11:05Oh my.
11:06Oh my.
11:07Oh my.
11:08Oh my.
11:09Oh my.
11:10Oh my.
11:11Oh my.
11:12Oh my.
11:13Oh my.
11:14Oh my.
11:15Oh my.
11:16Oh my.
11:17Oh my.
11:18Oh my.
11:19Oh my.
11:20Oh my.
11:21Oh my God.
11:22You.
11:23Oh my God.
11:24Oh my God.
11:25Oh my God.
11:26Yes.
11:27I'm not an asshole.
11:28Oh my God.
11:30Oh my God.
11:31Oh my God.
11:32Oh my God.
11:33You know you.
11:34I'm not an asshole.
11:35Oh my God.
11:36Oh my God.
11:37This is crazy.
11:38His baby.
11:39Fish me.
11:40My little fish baby.
11:41I'm so excited.
11:42Not only someone from my season on, but someone who I love and also I'm so excited to see
11:45get another chance to show the world how talented he is.
11:48Okay.
11:49So you're the only one from your season.
11:51Hello!
11:52So far, a lot of stores.
11:54I mean, if this is the group,
11:55I'm terrified for whoever else will take it.
11:58It's sparkle.
12:00I can't believe you tricked me.
12:03Yeah.
12:04Hello!
12:06Wow!
12:08Oh, my God!
12:10That's crazy!
12:19Lock the doors!
12:20Lock the doors!
12:21I mean, if this is the group,
12:22I'm terrified for whoever else will take it.
12:24And sparkle.
12:25Look how beautiful.
12:26And unpleasant.
12:27I can't believe you tricked Matt with a scream.
12:30Hello!
12:31Okay!
12:32I mean, okay.
12:33Hi!
12:35All right!
12:36Welcome to the part of this thing.
12:38Oh, my God!
12:39Y'all, the original carousan is in the house.
12:41Wait, carousan?
12:42I cannot believe I am coming back to pressure one.
12:46This is insane.
12:47She said on a luck.
12:48I am floored to see carousan.
12:51She inspired me.
12:52The first black woman to be on Project Runway ever,
12:55and she killed it in her season.
12:57She should have won.
12:59I'm excited that I came here,
13:01and, you know, I just wanted to rely on my creativity
13:05and my talent without sort of playing any tricks or games
13:09or stabbing anyone in the back.
13:11I'm proud that, you know, I had four wins.
13:14The winner of the silent auction,
13:16you're the winner of the wedding dress challenge.
13:19You have won this week's challenge.
13:21Carousan, you have won again.
13:23This is what designers, you know, dream about.
13:26I'm gonna put everything that I've ever learned in my life into it.
13:31So good.
13:33No way!
13:34Oh, gee!
13:35Oh, gee!
13:36Oh, gee!
13:37Nora!
13:38Oh, my God!
13:3918, 18.
13:4018 years!
13:41Oh, my God!
13:42It's so good!
13:43Coming back after literally 18 years is very surreal.
13:50You totally influenced me to be on this show.
13:53Oh, did I?
13:54I just wanna thank you.
13:55You are everything.
13:56Oh, thank you.
13:58And no one that ever tells you that, please know it.
14:00You are.
14:01That means so much.
14:02Representation matters.
14:03Carousan.
14:04Nice to meet you.
14:05Carousan is literally the first black fashion designer
14:07to compete on Project Runway.
14:09I was a teenager when she was on her season.
14:13So it's just dope to realize that I'm here amongst greatness.
14:17This is super awesome.
14:18Like, I didn't understand.
14:20What season one are you at?
14:21Season 17.
14:22When I was on Project Runway season one,
14:25it was such an inspirational story.
14:29I was final two.
14:32I run on Project Runway was awesome.
14:34It's like the gift that keeps on giving.
14:37All the wraps of clothes right here.
14:40Literally, my first job off of Project Runway
14:43was a director called me and he said,
14:46Hey, I saw you on Project Runway
14:48and, you know, I think that you can work really well
14:51with costume designing for talent.
14:55And he was right.
14:56It was great.
14:57And from there, I got so many amazing jobs.
15:01Now I'm costume designing for Disney Descendants,
15:04which has been a six-year odyssey.
15:08I just love projects that just allows your mind to run wild.
15:15You're really building worlds.
15:17How are you guys feeling, like, coming back in tonight?
15:20Oh, it's great.
15:21I'm excited.
15:22You're excited?
15:23I'm excited.
15:24I'm just ready to get started.
15:26I can't tell you all of my tricks.
15:35It's been three years since Project Runway.
15:38I'm disappointed. I'm not going to lie.
15:42I understand.
15:43Fish me. I'm sorry. That means you are out.
15:47So I was trying to see what would work out of, like,
15:50let's go.
15:52Since I was on Project Runway,
15:54I moved here to L.A. with nothing
15:56and took a risk on myself.
15:58It's a bit of a rollercoaster, but it's a good one.
16:01I've been making a name for myself here in L.A.
16:04Dressing Chloe Bailey, Jennifer Hudson.
16:07I dressed Lizzo.
16:08For Chloe Bailey, I would love to get her in more of a sexy,
16:12flowing situation that kind of shows her body.
16:14I am a women's wear designer that focuses on avant-garde
16:18with a twist and touch of street wear.
16:21I've been progressing, and I definitely could see major growth
16:25within how I design.
16:27The direction that I have for myself is more clear.
16:30I'm honestly thankful because I literally started as a kid
16:35in the hood in Baltimore just sketching designs,
16:38and I feel that I'm continuing the job
16:41that I set out to do for myself
16:43and just inspire people that look like me
16:46and come from where I come from.
16:48These past two years, I've been working and grinding,
16:52and I feel as though it's been prepping me
16:54to get to this moment to showcase all the growth that I made.
16:58During the time I was filming Project Runway,
17:02my sister was diagnosed with colon cancer,
17:06and it's only been a month and a couple of weeks
17:11since my sister passed away.
17:16I know my sister is extremely proud,
17:19and I can't let her down.
17:23Phenomenal.
17:24I'm just ready because I know my sister is, like, looking down.
17:32So we all on the same season?
17:33No, she was on season 19. I was 18.
17:36Oh, okay.
17:37Oh, you, like, left for a day,
17:38and then you had a baby, and then you came back.
17:39Exactly.
17:40You had a baby?
17:41Yes.
17:42I know I don't look like that.
17:43Last time I was on Project Runway,
17:45that was a year ago.
17:46Literally got pregnant the night,
17:48I was eliminated from season 19.
17:52What?
17:53My husband and I didn't see each other for a long time.
17:56We were thirsty.
18:00Mama.
18:01Mama.
18:02Mama.
18:03Mama.
18:04Mama.
18:05Alex is four months now.
18:06He is beautiful.
18:07And he smiles every morning he wakes up,
18:10and that makes me the happiest person in the world.
18:13Before the baby boy, I see a lot of things in black and white.
18:17Now I see this world in color,
18:20and I embrace all the color into my collection.
18:23You will see the baby pink, the red,
18:26kind of embracing this moment,
18:28and these are the colors that I see.
18:32Remember to five nails, okay?
18:35Don't scratch the face again, no more, okay?
18:38I don't think I will be okay missing all these beautiful moments,
18:42but I know I'm living for more for my family and for him.
18:47Okay.
18:48Why are you crying?
18:49The baby.
18:50I love that you want to honor your baby and that you miss him.
18:53I understand.
18:54But that's the moments I had with him.
18:56So everything I saw from here, the moments I had with him is the inspiration of the dress.
19:01So.
19:03I know you smile by my boobs.
19:05Yeah, I love your boobs.
19:06You look great.
19:07Congratulations.
19:09Oh my God, this is a good looking cast.
19:13I've watched these people.
19:14They were the reason why I wanted to join Project Runway,
19:17because I wanted to be part of that group.
19:19This is fantastic.
19:21These are some of the best of Project Runway.
19:24Now we're competing with each other.
19:26I can't believe you're here.
19:28I know, me either.
19:30Where's my nephew?
19:31My nephew's not here.
19:33Last season, I was like, a volcano that's already erupted.
19:37Not ready to erupt, but already erupted.
19:39The fact that you don't listen to Christian might take the whole team down.
19:42If he wants to give an opinion, you just shut the up.
19:45You let him speak.
19:46I believe in that, but also like, I want to go home because of my opinions,
19:49not because of Christian's.
19:50I'm not going down for nobody who made up one decision for not listening
19:53to the professional in the room.
19:55And now we're back again for round two.
19:57And you better expect a shell baby.
20:00I'm stressed out, Mimi.
20:02Are you going to put anything on her?
20:04Oh, why?
20:06It doesn't need a necklace.
20:08Don't you dare put a necklace on this thing.
20:10Like that literally gave me anxiety, girl.
20:12I almost threw this mannequin at you.
20:14Stop yelling!
20:16There's no .
20:17Cameras everywhere.
20:18Sorry.
20:30So this is our room?
20:31Yep.
20:32I'll take it for 300.
20:39We got another rock star in the house.
20:41How you doing?
20:42Hi.
20:43Hi.
20:44I'm Heather.
20:45Laurence, her work is incredible.
20:47It's really tight, really different than what I do.
20:50Roger giving me all, everything.
20:53Hi.
20:54But I do think she's a fierce competitor.
20:56So what have you been up to?
20:58Just working, man.
20:59I've just been working my ass off since I left, you know, this beautiful runway thing.
21:05Yeah.
21:06So it's been six years since I've been on Project Runway.
21:09Back then I used to dream to be able to say I am a fashion designer.
21:14Before I was like, I'm a model slash bartender slash designer.
21:19There's no more slash.
21:21I am a fashion designer now.
21:24My dress, Yvonne Orji, Gina Rodriguez, Aldis Hart.
21:28Ultimately, I would love to be a household name, but I am not there yet.
21:32Can't wait to see this.
21:33That might make me one.
21:35I want to come back because I have a bone to pick with you guys.
21:41The last time I was on the show, I was third position.
21:45For me, Laurence, you know, clean, spectacular, those are in stores already.
21:50I might have dropped the ball maybe at the finale.
21:53I was like, I was like, I lost.
21:55That's how I went home.
21:56I lost.
21:57I was mad.
21:58This time, I got to win.
21:59I wonder what they're going to have us do.
22:01I know.
22:02I'm like, are we going to mood?
22:03Are we doing a challenge right now?
22:06It is time for Project Runway's most feared.
22:10Oh, my God.
22:11What's going on, y'all?
22:12Most revered.
22:14Yes.
22:15And famed way to torture designer.
22:17Oh, my God.
22:18Oh, my God.
22:19What is that?
22:20Boom bop.
22:22Tomorrow?
22:23Oh, God.
22:24You're going on a road trip.
22:25Oh, my God, is that diddy?
22:28Oh, my God, is that diddy?
22:30I thrive on, like, competition, like, fast deadlines, fast creativities.
22:37My aesthetic is...
22:40Let me think about that for a second.
22:43My aesthetic is post-apocalyptic, non-binary party person
22:47who also wants to be incredibly comfortable
22:49and may need to fight some zombies later in the day.
22:55It has been three years since I was on Project Runway.
22:57The last time you guys saw me, I had curly hair, long.
23:01I was wearing skirts.
23:02I was wearing a lot more makeup.
23:04I realized that just doesn't really suit me anymore.
23:07I had a big change in myself in terms of who I am and how I identify.
23:12I realized that I'm much more close to the non-binary spectrum
23:15than I had realized before.
23:18Now, what I'm really passionate about is making clothing for people
23:22who don't ascribe to a gender binary, who kind of exist in the margins.
23:26I mean, I love it. Do you see it?
23:28Last time I was on Project Runway, it was a little tough for me.
23:31I spent the whole first day spitting my wheels.
23:33Okay, I gotta just make this and see.
23:36Oh!
23:38Oh! Help me! It's in my nails!
23:40Someone please help me!
23:41Oh! Oh! Oh! It's in my nails!
23:44I am a very different competitor than I was.
23:46I know I'm the best and I know I'm gonna win
23:48and I would never have been able to say that on Season 17.
23:51I'm here for all of the little Queer Doe Jews
23:54and I'm here for kind of anyone who feels like an oddball,
23:57who feels like maybe they don't have a place in high fashion.
24:00I am ready to dominate the competition.
24:04All right, who in God's name could walk through that door now?
24:07No one else. Here's the last one.
24:09Yeah. Girl, for you, Chloe.
24:12I cannot believe that I'm coming back to Project Runway,
24:15but it felt like the right time and the right thing for me right now.
24:20Hi! How are you?
24:23Hi!
24:24I've known Mila for so long.
24:26She's a lovely designer.
24:28Like, she has a point of view.
24:29It's very sharp. She knows who she is.
24:31I've been working as a costume designer on awesome stuff,
24:33like Top Gun and Barbie.
24:35That's dope.
24:37I was on Project Runway and I got great press from it.
24:40I had a runway show. I was selling to stores.
24:43It was great, except that I was really burnt out.
24:46And after five years,
24:48I feel like I was on the precipice of taking it to the next level.
24:52But in order to do that, I needed help and didn't know what to do.
24:57I made a very hard decision to close my business down.
25:01I decided to pursue a career in costume design.
25:05I love being a costume designer, but I do feel like I'm not done designing.
25:15The best collection was the last one I made.
25:18I think that there is still part of me who is that girl who graduated from design school
25:24and still has a dream of having a line of clothing.
25:28I didn't think I'd get emotional.
25:42I think a lot about what if.
25:44What if I kept going?
25:46I feel like I deserve another chance because I am a great designer.
25:56And I just think I have a lot more ahead of me.
26:00Am I the only one here?
26:02No, I...
26:03Not anymore.
26:04Clearly I'm not. Everybody is in the house.
26:06I'm gonna need more.
26:07There's more.
26:08It's gonna be somebody iconic.
26:09Someone's coming through the door.
26:20Someone's coming through the door.
26:25I think it's a full on party and I'm just getting here.
26:28I remember watching Fabio's season, seeing his work and being very impressed with it.
26:32But I love Fabio. I love his work.
26:34Hi, Victor.
26:35I can appreciate everything he does.
26:37Seeing him now, it's kind of like, oh, he's here.
26:41I'm gonna throw up.
26:42Fabio is a legend.
26:44I'm terrified.
26:48To say the least.
26:49Now board the doors up.
26:51I'm like, bitch, you really came back to compete against Fabio.
26:55I don't know whether to throw up or pass out or celebrate or...
27:00What was your season?
27:02Oh, he's been on 85 seasons.
27:05Yeah, yeah.
27:06So season 10 was my first time and then All Stars 4 and then All Stars 6.
27:10I feel I am such a baby.
27:13They definitely have some advantage because they know the challenge even more.
27:20But I don't feel intimidated by anybody because they're old.
27:24I'm the fresh air.
27:26I mean, it's lovely to see you, but it's very intimidating.
27:31Really?
27:32Because your shirt is really good.
27:33Yeah.
27:34I'd be lying if I told you that, like, I'd be okay with not winning.
27:38Well, I was a finalist for season 10.
27:40I came back for All Stars season 4 when I placed fifth.
27:44And then as if I'm not crazy enough, I came back for All Stars season 6 where I was a finalist once again.
27:51Every season that I came back, I was able to grow a lot more, find out a lot more about who I am as a person.
27:58If third time isn't the charm, fourth would have to be.
28:03I'm, like, freaking out.
28:05Is this for real?
28:06There's a lot of fashion happening here.
28:08This is a show.
28:10Oh, wow.
28:16I am dying.
28:17I just can't get enough of it.
28:19I love it.
28:20I want to wear that dress.
28:21It all just creates this bad bitch vibe.
28:25It's so good.
28:26I think it's fantastic.
28:27Yes.
28:28There's something just really fly about it.
28:30That was everything.
28:32I don't think anyone else is coming.
28:34I think this is it.
28:35Five, six, seven, eight.
28:39There's more.
28:40Do you work in fashion in LA?
28:43Holy cow.
28:44This competition is getting serious.
28:47He was on my All Star.
28:49Oh, yeah.
28:50It's Rami.
28:51Rami.
28:52I actually beat him in my challenge.
28:54He what?
28:55Like, he lost to me in All Star.
28:57I see.
28:58He gonna be back for vengeance.
28:59Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:00Hi.
29:01I love your green.
29:02How do you?
29:04What is your name?
29:05Laurence.
29:06Laurence?
29:07Yes.
29:08Rami.
29:09During season four of Project One Way, I was a finalist with Christian.
29:13But not only that, we were roommates.
29:15Christian is like a cartoon character.
29:17There's so much yakking and bitching.
29:20If I had hair on my head, I'd want to tear it out.
29:22Oh, my God.
29:23I'm gonna die of barfness.
29:26We went through that whole journey together all the way till the end, literally.
29:30Christian.
29:32You are the winner of Project One Way.
29:33Congratulations.
29:34It's very good.
29:35Christian is the mentor on the show, and he has succeeded and established a lot.
29:48Just like looking at Fashion Week, I saw some of his work on the red carpet.
29:51He's like taking it to the next level, and I really have respect for that.
29:56Because at the end of the day, we still care about each other.
29:58This is so surreal to like see everybody.
30:00It's so crazy.
30:03Since I've been on Project One Way, been commissioned by Queen Rania of Jordan,
30:08I dressed Kim Kardashian.
30:11I want to challenge myself as a creative artist and hopefully reach the finish line.
30:17Well, I love your stuff.
30:18I've been draped because of you.
30:20Yeah.
30:21You're kidding.
30:22Having been a finalist and having shown my collection before, I know firsthand that
30:27it really does make a difference in one's career.
30:29Wow.
30:30What does it feel like to be here?
30:31I mean, I did this.
30:32This is only three years ago.
30:33I know.
30:34So this is probably most recent for you.
30:35Yeah.
30:36It feels a little fresh.
30:37I'm not gonna lie.
30:38God have mercy on our souls.
30:40Oh, my God.
30:42It doesn't feel good.
30:44Oh, my God.
30:45This is so intense.
30:50It's such a moment.
30:53I don't know if this is the place for me.
30:57My nerves are shocked.
30:58I know.
30:59I'm like, can we just go to mood?
31:00Yeah, can we get started?
31:01Can we get started?
31:02Let's go.
31:03Let's do this .
31:04Oh, my God.
31:06Hi, everybody.
31:07Oh, my God.
31:12Come in.
31:13Come in.
31:14Come in.
31:15You're welcome.
31:16You're welcome back.
31:18It's fun showing.
31:19Welcome back.
31:29This is surreal, right?
31:30It is.
31:31It's weird.
31:32It's like a dream.
31:33Like a time warp
31:35All right guys, you all know me. I will be your mentor
31:40We'll see how it goes
31:44Obviously I know some of you Rami from my season. How are you? I'm good. How are you good? Oh?
31:53They're gonna fight. I
31:55Know how good you are and I'm like thinking does Rami want to be here. I can't figure it out
32:01And of course the og the only one on Project Runway that have seen you all compete
32:09the Nina Garcia
32:15Thank you. I'm convinced that the movie Benjamin Button is about me. You know, she's like a fine wine
32:21She gets better with age so good to see you all these memories are flooding back seeing all of your faces
32:28That's Cain and that's what you get. Cain or Elvis
32:34Elvis is alive and well
32:38It feels
32:40Poorly made. This is the star. Thank you, Nina. I think it looks like a bad costume
32:46It's terrible these arrows look like they're pointing at her crotch. I mean, this would not work at all
32:54This is your life Nina
32:56This is your whole life
32:58You are all like my children
33:00It's a real connection. So thank you. It's very
33:04Um, I don't know. It's very emotional to see you guys. Thank you
33:09All of you have competed before
33:12Some of you almost 20 years ago, which is pretty crazy. It feels like yesterday
33:17It's so scary
33:20All right guys, I can say without question
33:22I know Nina agrees that this really is the most talented group of designers we've ever had
33:29You should be too
33:30You are the ones
33:32That I wanted to see again. You're the ones that got away. So it's really exciting
33:38All right, so let me tell you guys
33:40It's gonna be hard. Oh, no
33:42It's gonna be the most difficult competitive season yet
33:46The winner is gonna take home a quarter of a million dollars
33:51Supplied by pilot friction erasable pens
33:53Fabulous a feature in Elle magazine
33:56Yeah, yes
33:58And a career changing mentorship with the CFDA
34:04Which is unbelievable
34:05$250,000. Amazing. Ours was a hundred thousand dollars back in the day and
34:13Doing it 20 years later. What an incredible legacy. All right, everybody. It's time to get started follow us
34:20Come on Nina. Let's do it. Let's go. We're going somewhere. We're all going somewhere. Follow us. Oh boy. Here we go again
34:27Being here you feel like this anxiousness. I don't know why we sign up for this craziness. Can we bring our drinks?
34:34It's showtime baby. Good to see you. Good to see you
34:50As for the view
34:52Beautiful coming back. All right guys come here
34:55The one thing I think I did not remember is
34:59Not knowing what's about to happen. I'm like is a helicopter gonna come like what are we gonna do on this roof, right?
35:07All right, everyone, did you guys know that there's one thing that you all have in common nobody up here
35:13Has won it all for taking home the grand prize. I
35:17Mean except me of course
35:20So this is your shot at redemption. Oh my god. What what?
35:27Redemption is scaring the absolute out of me. I don't know what this means
35:31Really sweet mother Mary Joseph
35:35This is your chance to change history
35:40I'm a little nervous. I think it's gonna be something sneaky and something weird something that I'm not gonna like anything could happen
35:45We brought you to the roof for a little walk down memory lane
35:49Oh my god what it's a runway show in front of the city where it all began
35:56Designers take a look
35:58Designers take a look
36:03Oh my god
36:05Oh no
36:06Jesus
36:07No
36:08No
36:08Hell
36:09That's triggering
36:19Sweet mother Mary of justice
36:21Legs are getting weak
36:23You guys ready?
36:24What I don't know what's about to happen here a little walk down memory lane designers take a look
36:45Are you serious right now?
36:54This is the actual look that got you eliminated
36:58And if you made it to the finale this is your lowest score throughout the season. Oh my nice
37:05This is the look that sent me home and
37:08It's not fun to look at it again. I wanted a fresh start
37:11But here I am looking at the biggest mistake I made on season 18. I would have rather you just put it with a pair of jeans
37:18plastic butterflies
37:20Detracted from the sophistication of the entire outfit. Okay
37:24I'm stressed. I'm stressed. I'm stressed
37:27Oh my god. Oh my god. There's some things
37:30Just better left in the past. So there's something going on with the proportions
37:35I think it looks like a bar mitzvah dress that got shredded and you wore it over a pair of pants doesn't make it to me
37:41I don't know what I was thinking really
37:46That dress brings a lot of triggers for me a lot I think when I got home
37:53I burned everything that looked like a doily at my house and I want to burn the dress too
37:56I think there were some fit issues
38:00I think she was drowning in so much doilies the end result
38:07Needed some more work
38:09The trauma
38:11This is like trauma-like
38:12Yeah
38:13This is trauma-like
38:14Seriously, I thought I was done with that look
38:16Same shoes on everything
38:26Whoa
38:28Oh yeah, cringing
38:32I still stand behind this
38:34Just when I think I'm a star you put me back in my place
38:42That was the dress killed me and I'm here for the revenge
38:46This look I cannot even recognize it as mine because I just suppressed it so so so deep in my memory that I have no recollection of it
38:52I'm sorry it looks to me really sad
38:54I'm sorry it looks to me really sad
38:56To me it's a grandma house coat
38:58She should have Kleenex in her pocket
39:00I mean it's just
39:02It just hangs
39:03It's so sad
39:04This is not what I was hoping to see
39:08This is not what I was hoping to see
39:13PTSD
39:17I'm ashamed for other people and myself
39:21It was worse than it was when I was home
39:23If that's even possible
39:25It's horrible no one wants to even claim their work
39:28Like you know it's bad when you don't want to claim your own children
39:31These are your children you're like denying them
39:33Social services is coming
39:35Let it go
39:38Oh
39:40This is it
39:41I know
39:42Yes
39:43There it is
39:44I definitely understand why I was let go
39:48Fabulous fabulous
39:49Okay
39:50Let your heart go off
39:55When I saw my outfit come out
39:58Literally I wanted to hide
40:02Who does this belong to?
40:04It's Bill. I'm like
40:06Me
40:07I'm not gonna say it was mine but it was
40:11No it's not mine
40:13That's yours?
40:15Wow
40:16Pressure's on because we already effed up on this stress that we had made on our previous season however many years ago
40:24I have no idea what's about to happen but I'm ready for that redemption
40:28Well designers next to you are looks I'm sure you never wanted to see again
40:33Yeah
40:34We want you to change history by creating the ultimate redemption look
40:41Leaving you guys asking the question what would you have done differently if you had the chance
40:48Kata what would you have done differently?
40:50Not have made this dread
40:51Well designers now you do have a chance to do it differently
40:58To do it
40:59To do it
41:00To do it
41:01Your challenge
41:02Reinvent the look that got you eliminated
41:04Or almost got you eliminated
41:06And turn it into a high fashion moment for the runways of today
41:10In my head I'm going 100 miles per hour and I'm thinking what am I gonna do?
41:13There's so many options but at the same time I am very lost
41:17You don't have to use the same fabrics
41:19You don't have to keep the same silhouette
41:22But the judges are going to want to see the spirit of the look in your reinventions
41:28That's the challenge
41:30Having the chance to redo this and this little redemption I kind of I love it
41:36If there were any outfit that I would want to redeem myself on it would be this look
41:43Good luck and please don't let history repeat itself
41:49And designers there's a twist
41:52Oh
41:54Oh
41:55Why are you guys doing this?
41:56Why do you guys do that to me?
41:57I was over the trauma
41:58A twist
42:00We don't have to
42:01Ugh
42:02So as soon as the word twist gets thrown around anything can happen
42:06None of it's gonna be good
42:08Just say it
42:09Yes
42:10Leave it to me
42:11I'm gonna hyperventilate
