A movie-inspired challenge brings out the designers' creativity.
Lets leap into another episode ofProject Runway.
IfProject Runwayis going to use a childrens movie as a theme, then Im going to use bad puns.

Margarita hopes to incorporate the style of Bomba, a traditional Puerto Rican dance, into a fashionable look.

Kentaro is leaning toward something a bit more classical: the Black Swan fromSwan Lake.
And Claire and Shawn just run around like chickens with their heads cut off.
In a confessional, Kudzanai says, Project Runway, stop sitting me next to the twins.
(Commenters, hey confirm.)
Michael has a lot of sisters and has been designing since he was 10.
Before leaving, Tim tells the room that hes happy with the ambitiousness and great work in the room.
But thats the least of the blood situations in this workroom.
Earlier, while fiddling with the arm on his sewing machine, Deyonte inadvertently puts the needlethrough his finger.
My skin is crawling just writing about this.
Its a real make-it-work moment!
Kentaro finishes early, so he helps Margarita with her innovative Bomba outfit.
Has this show finally broken me?

Everyone else goes on to design another week.
Its bright and beautiful.
Nina says the moment she saw the shadow from behind the runway screen, she knew she loved it.
He says its a bitFlashdance.
Heidi is a fan of Burning Man!?
There is way too much going on this episode.
Deyonte took more inspiration from the hiplet dancers than the movie.
He says his girl is going out on the town to see them perform in Chicago.
He wanted to create something relaxed, vibrant, and sexy.
He nailed the vibrant part, Zac says.
And thats about it.
Nina says the dress looks uncomfortable and constrained.
They all start to question his taste level.
After Kentaro explains his Black Swan look, Maddie says it looks like something shed warm up in.
Zac says it doesnt have much runway impact even though there is refinement in the top.
Heidi think its too literal, and this isProject Runway, so hell need to amp it up.
Nina says it would be better in another color or with some other punch.
But Heidi does point out that she likes how he accentuated his models curves under the see-through skirt.
Heidi loves it and says its beautiful and sophisticated.
Maddie thinks its refreshing and likes the salsa feel.
Nina loves the drama and construction, and Zac applauds her use of fabrication.
But hes just too talented!
Nina loves his boldness and creativity.
Heidi says he has great taste.
Maddie says its modern, lyrical, and stunning.
And Zac goes so far to say that he waits for moments like this inProject Runway.
And then we have Kudzanai.
Nope this is just a mess.
Heidi says he took the childrens movie inspiration too far because the look is juvenile and unflattering.
Zac says the construction is a mess and Kudzanai was too ambitious.
Nina says its maximalist to the max, and she doesnt mean that in a good way.
Look on the bright side, Kudzanai: Now youll never have to sit by the twins again!
