SEE ‘Project Runway’ Villains: Designers We Loved to HateĪfter Mood the team came together in the work space to discuss their overall concept, “dinner and a show,” and how they could create the story for that with their colors and fabrics. Wandering through the store, Christian kept reminding the group that they must be cohesive and pointing out that a lot of them were already cutting their fabric without having touched base with any of their teammates. Bones planned out a yellow jumpsuit to represent the idea of hope, while Darren was eyeing flashy gold fabrics to make a “runaway prom queen going to a New Year’s Eve party” dress. The warm team was first to head to Mood for fabric selections where Christian gave them 45 minutes and $400 to explore.

As the only male designer on the team, Zayden quickly realized that he’d need to take a step back and let the women take the lead as they discussed florals and bows as their cohesive elements. On the cool team, the first thing Meg wanted to know was whether or not anyone else was as comfortable doing plus-size design as she is because she sees it as an essential part of where fashion needs to continue to go. In that process, Prajje was worried that designers would compromise too much on their own style which for him is not part of how anyone should design. After discussing all of their ideas, the group realized that they had two different collections happening and that perhaps hardware was something they could use to fuse them together. Among the designers on the warm team was Aaron, a drag queen costume designer, and Shantall, an evening wear designer drawn to retro eras. Part of this process also involved choosing models and picking a color from the wheel that each would be using.

By the end of the challenge, one designer from the losing team would be sent home. In a twist they’ve never done on the show before, Christian also said that the warm team would be working during the day and the cool team would be working during the night so that neither team could worry about what the other team is doing. The teams were divided one by one into two teams defined by “cool” and “warm” colors with eight color choices each, one for every designer. In that spirit, the judges announced their first challenge: two teams would each create a cohesive collection of eight monochromatic looks in celebration of color.
