Terri is focusing on the androgynous aspect of the Dietrich character. She plans to make a coat, shirt, and vest in addition to the houndstooth pants she has sewn and is modeling around the workroom. While Terri is modeling the pants for Korto in the sewing room, Blayne and Joe mock the bright print clinging to Terri’s dress dummy. Both compare the print to “fireworks” and Blayne sings a bit of the national anthem. Joe vlogs that Terri always makes the same look, “a blazer and a pant.”
In the Project Runway lounge (who knew there was one?), Stella, Leanne, and Terri dine off paper plates. Terri asks Leanne what she is making and vice versa. They both reply, then ask Stella. Stella doesn’t wanna say, and I can’t blame her. This is a competition after all. “It wasn’t Leanne’s business and also, I don’t trust Terri,” Stella vlogs later. She also says she hadn’t asked them for their details either — “I don’t care.” In the sewing room, Terri, Korto, and Leanne gossip a bit about Stella’s reticence as if it were strange. The way the designers tend to attack each other’s ideas behind each others’ backs, I don’t think Stella keeping quiet about her design choices is odd at all. She might’ve been a bit friendlier about it, but she’s made it clear she doesn’t care what the others think. Her thought bubble is practically visible, and it might read: “I can make a living without you.”
6 PM, six hours until the end of their work day. The garments are still being sewn, ironed, fitted. Jerell describes his design in his solo interview. We also see his color sketch: a blue jacket, a gold turtleneck, gloves, an A-line skirt. The jacket appears to be trimmed in grey fur. Korto and Jerell discuss what it will be like to be judged by a “fashion legend” the next day. Basically, they both hope she will like their work and they both agree this prize is “better than immunity any day.” Neither wants her to “read” (criticize) them. Both offer their impersonation of an unhappy Diane.
Korto says she is making a “very chic” evening gown. Her sketch looks simple and emphasizes the fit, the cut, and the print. So far it seems closest to von Furstenberg’s own designs. Stella is hoping Diane will see what Stella’s “design aesthetic” is and how it mixes with her own. Stella is making three pieces: a cape, a vest and a pair of pants. Meanwhile, Joe is pinning hot pink fabric to his dress dummy and offering up a very stereotypical, most probably offensive sing-song impersonation of what “Shanghai” means to Joe. “Ning-nong, ning-nong” he sings, with his teeth purposely sticking out. Nice, Joe. “It’s Bryant Park all the way!” he vlogs.
