Leanne describes her design in a voiceover as we are treated to a slow camera crawl over her sketch. It is “a cropped trench coat with a long silk gown.” The trench coat is sketched in an earth tone, the gown is indigo. Leanne interviews that she has “never been out of the country” so she has “had no foreign affairs.” Then we’re shown a cute montage of Leanne pretending to be a spy slipping around corners of Parsons. The clip is set to plucky string accompaniment best described as a ‘comical spy soundtrack’. “I would love to be a spy,” she interviews. “Secret Agent Leannimal. And I would hunt everybody down. Like an... animal.” Okay, so metaphors aren’t her thing.
Suede vlogs that he’d be a spy except he fears his “blue hair” might give him away. (I’ve got an idea, Suede! Maybe you could go undercover in a ‘planned’ Florida condo community? Dinner theater cruise?) In the workroom, Blayne compliments Kenley’s brightly colored, Mandarin collar dress while Joe, behind them out of sight, mimes inducing his own vomit. Terri mentions to Kenley she hasn’t used much fabric. Kenley isn’t worried but Terri interviews privately she wouldn’t be surprised if Kenley “gets called out about it.” Most of the designers are making an outfit with more than one piece, and Kenley has only done a simple dress. Kenley says she knows she used only a yard and a half of fabric, but she was determined to “make it work” because she was “obsessed with that print.” Apparently, only that much in that particular fabric existed. Ms. Collins vlogs that she thinks her design will stand out more than the others’ designs will. She may have used slightly more scatalogical terminology.
One who never would? Tim, of course. And it’s Tim Time. Mr. Gunn approaches Suede first. “Talk to me,” Tim says simply. A garment of mixed prints in heavy fabrics hangs from Suede’s dress dummy. Suede says something about Berlin and camouflage. “You look perplexed” Suede says, perceptively defining Tim’s reaction. “Visually, I’m not getting it,” Tim allows. Suede removes the clunky vest and reveals a long gown. It appears to be made of silk, is sleeveless and is white, navy and green print. THe print is made up of U shapes lying sideways, and overlapping somewhat. The sideways U shapes fill the fabric vertically. Tim comments that Suede should watch the fullness of the skirt, and the shape of the vest. Suede, fingers crossed in his vlog, vows to make it to Bryant Park. Suede took his Suedean oath in the third person, if anyone’s still playing the Home Game.
