Project Runway goes to new heights…literally
Its Heidi Klum challenge time!
You knew it was coming, I knew it was coming.
The designers knew it was coming.

So they only mildly panic.
These designers have nerves of steel!
Oh, spoke too soon.

Theyre doing intimates and creating prints by hand.
Its a confusing inspiration for the challenge, to be sure.
But then the designers spend the night in sleeping bags on top of the skyscraper.

Theyspend the night in sleeping bags on top of the Empire State Building.
Tim wakes them up with a bag of breakfast sandwiches and I am thoroughly confused by this whole situation.
In the workroom, they fight over the fabrics made available to them and start working.

Margarita says its starting to get a bit unfair, and I think the other designers would agree.
When Heidi comes, she has lots of thoughts…naturally.
She starts off hilariously, calling out Shawn for being chatty, chatty, chatty.

(I think shes missing a few chattys.)
She makes her way around the room and kills designs in her wake.
Never change, Tim.

The designers continue to struggle up until their models come a couple hours later.
Hes such a lovable person, and I want him to succeed.
She tells him shes the Naomi of Plus and that he needs to accentuate her shape.

Aarons poor dress cannot be helped, though.
He over-painted his fabric, and it wouldnt lay properly.
Kenya just straight-up runs out of time.
Its going to be an interesting runway.
Michael was inspired by the art deco of the Empire State Building and the nearby Chrysler Building.
From that inspiration came this geometric gown, and the judges are fans.
Demi says its unique, yet practical and comfortable.
Heidi says its sophisticated, sexy, and expensive.
And Zac calls it Deco Cleopatra which is the look most women give a shot to emulate when sleeping.
Aarons look, on the other hand, is not quite so loved.
Nina says its shabbily made and looks like bad sweatpants.
Demi says the shorts are unflattering and not sexy.
And Zac only has thoughts about Aarons look: see-through shorts.
Thank goodness youre wearing underpants, Zac says before telling him to never upstage the model.
Ninas face while Shawn explains her inspiration for her look is priceless.
She is clearly not loving the intonation that weve all come to hate.
But those feelings do not carry over to her feelings for the look Nina says the look is perfect.
Heidi says its sophisticated and elegant and could be worn for pajamas or out on the town.
Zac says its polished, and Demi says its tailored.
(Im starting to think I need to work on my sleepwear situation.)
Deyonte freehand dyed his textile after Heidis critique, but that wasnt enough to change his look.
It doesnt fit well, and Nina even calls it a hospital gown.
Zac says its boring, and Heidi says its not sexy at all.
Not sexy on a Heidi challenge?
A big no no.
With all his last-minute scrambling, Kentaro pulled off an amazing, polished look.
Zac says its just a breeze, and he likes the happy coming out of Kentaro.
We do, too!
More of this, hey!
Kenya really, really struggled on this one.
She is a more structured designer and it clearly showed here and not in a positive way.
Winner:Michael (P.S., you might already buy his look on Heidi Klum Intimates.)
He definitely has more in him, but I blame the hurt finger.
At least he can get home to his newborn son.
