“Fashion can be something beautiful, something that inspires.” God help me for my deep attachment to sentimentality, but these are the moments I love best. “I want to show her fashion is not just what it was for her, sewing all day,” Coral explains, her eyes welling with tears. PR slows down the chaos long enough to give Coral a deserved emotional beat, in which she relays the story of her seamstress mother, who didn't want Coral going into fashion. Coral and Zayden attempt to rework their fur coat with a “cage” design, hinting at their experience as minorities in America. Prajje and Chasity are laser-focused on their pillared fur gown, which Prajje elevates with his signature paint-splatter explosion. After Anna is safely returned to their arms, the teams reassemble the next morning for a lightning-quick garment assembly. I'm not sure one night is enough time for the designers to truly process the shock of the accident-or of Anna's hospital trip-but that decision isn't up to me.

Unmoored, the rest of the squad is rolled back to the PR runway lounge, where Christian tells them to rest up, relax, take the night off-but, uh, also they'll only have one day to complete their fur challenge now. Although visibly shaken, she appears mostly unharmed while the paramedics cart her away to the hospital. Just another day in NYC!īut, much to everyone's horror, Anna was sitting right beneath said shattered window, and a visible trickle of blood runs down her nose as an ambulance rushes up to the scene. Project Runway boosts the drama here to make the apparent car accident seem serious-we get no immediate views of the designers, uninjured-until Aaron jumps in over VO: All's good! A piece of scaffolding has merely punctured one of the van windows. Within literal seconds of the crew climbing into the transit van for a trip back to the workroom, the cameras go topsy-turvy to the tune of shattered glass. In true Bravo style, the levity doesn't last long-something insane must happen next. “A faux fur coat? Groundbreaking,” he deadpans as Zayden and Coral work through their sketch. He keeps his thoughts to himself long enough to survive a trip to Mood, where the teams are given 30 minutes and $500 to buy supplemental materials while Christian eases back into his role as agitator extraordinaire. Like I’m literally thinking, what if a Dothraki had a million dollars?” To which Aaron tells the audience: “Bones is.creative. Bones wants a design that feels “very Game of Thrones Dothraki. Almost immediately, you can smell the disagreement radiating off of them through the screen. What's more, they're in pairs, which is almost always a recipe for disaster. Most of the competitors are excited but wary, given how temperamental fur can be under the sway of a sewing needle. They have two days to work in teams of two, with whom they'll create one avant-garde runway-ready look with fur as the main component. Project Runway seems to understand that razzle dazzle, as this week our designers were tasked with assembling regal avant-garde looks from plant-based, recyclable faux fur by Sorona. She's far from an heiress, but she looked like one, and sometimes that's enough to draw you closer. Is it atrocious? Is it delectable? I could never decide, but point was, all evening long, everyone had their eyes on my step-grandmother. Ever since, as a child, I first witnessed my step-grandmother step out in a full-length mink coat during dinner in a Colorado skiing town, I've had a frightened fascination with fur.
