Team Unity is shocked and devastated, but they’ll have to wait to hear why their collection lost because they’re going last. (I can’t hate, though, because I listen to her song “Smoke and Fire” on repeat way too often.) After the two collections go down the catwalk, Heidi announces that House of Bouton is the winning team. Heidi introduces them to Sabrina Carpenter, the latest in a string of beautiful, young guest judges.

Maybe the designers read my interview with Junior winner Maya and took her advice on how to work together?! NEXT: Get your tissues ready Thanks to all that teamwork, everyone gets their models dressed in the nick of time and out onto the runway. The next morning is a mad house with Team Bouton flying around the room and shouting out things Dexter can do for the various looks he takes it all in stride and I’m loving it. Somehow they all are still friendly and helpful. But if you thought stress and time constraints would start to bring out the worst in these people, you thought wrong. By the time models come around for fitting that night, they literally just have half-naked women to show for it. Team Bouton has a little more work to do: Tim thinks a few of the looks don’t feel cohesive, so they start over completely with one look and jazz up a couple others. Tim comes in for critiques and gives pretty expected notes to Team Unity: He wants them to think through the somber palette and to work on turning it from dull to outstanding. Honestly, y’all, I’m confused about what show we’re watching at this point. Which is about the same for the re-christened “Team Bouton” - they are making jokes, helping each other out. But after he calls them out in a jokey way for not pronouncing his name right, things are smooth sailing. He’s feeling like an outsider for much of this challenge because Alex, Roberi, Rik, and Cornelius are roommates and Nathalia is friends with Cornelius, so that leaves him on the outs. At Mood, Team Unity decides to add a bit more color so they don’t bore the judges, but they still lean on a lot of black and gray tones, much to Mah-Jing’s dismay.
Project runway season 8 plus#
Team Button Bag gets $2,200, and Team Unity gets $800, plus a warning not to be too one-note. In the end, that idea wins over the investors. They talk about harem pants, an oversized coat, and a flirty dress.

He says they want to think about the same kind of young, professional woman, but their woman is in the tech industry she is fashion-forward with a higher income. When Nina asks what they’ll do to set it apart from that already saturated market, Alex says they’ll focus on “details.” Dexter is up for the other group. Alex, who appointed himself as spokesperson of “Team Unity” since he has experience pitching, tells them they’re creating a collection to empower businesswomen. But sometimes chaos leads to creativity, and they do have quite a few freethinkers on the latter team, which they dub “Team Button Bag” When the teams come out for pitches, they see their investors are familiar faces: Nina, Zac, and Heidi. The two groups begin to work on their collection concepts, and it’s immediately clear Alex’s team is the organized one and Brik’s is the chaotic one. On the other side, Brik - who was selected via button bag - kicks off his team with Tasha, who chooses Laurence, who chooses Erin, who chooses Dexter and then Jenni is the last designer standing and goes to their team. They round out their team with Mah-Jing and Nathalia.

They continue on that roomie theme and snatch up Roberi and Cornelius as well. As last week’s winner, Rik gets to choose his first teammate, and he goes with Alex, his roomie.

Each investor has $1,000 to split between the teams for their purchases at Mood. AND they will be pitching these collections to three mystery investors. They’ll be split up into two teams of six to create four looks in a mini collection. But, that doesn’t mean they’re super thrilled to hear the news when Tim Gunn tells them that this week’s challenge - the Mary Kay challenge - is a group challenge. It’s been a lot time since I cried during a Project Runway episode, but the teamwork and sense of camaraderie definitely got me tonight. So well, in fact, that the losing team refuses to name people to send home and most of them call out their own names. Of course, we were all expecting the claws and cattiness to come out, but much to my surprise, these groups work together well. And the poor season 15 designers get these back to back. If there’s anything worse than a swimwear challenge, it’s a team challenge. Project Runway recap: 'There's No I in Team'These poor designers.
