Project Runway Recap: Pressure Cooker
"This week, "Threads of Confidence" gives us that classic Project Runway setup, and it makes for the best episode yet this season. The challenge is still a little overcomplicated - the outfits have to be appropriate for a night out on the town, and they have to feature a "jaw-dropping" on-the-runway reveal - but I always appreciate this challenge for giving us additional insight into the designers and how they actually work with clients."
"K's coat from Blade Runner 2049, Cassian's from - like, mid-length, big collar, lots of pockets, leather accents. Perfect for pondering what's more human than human or planning insurgent actions against a cruel Imperial apparatus. You know, normal stuff! This week, "Threads of Confidence" gives us that classic Project Runway setup, and it makes for the best episode yet this season."
"And yes, we'll get to that cliffhanger ending. Because what! I repeat: WHAT??? Project Runway wraps up its Western challenge by sending home Yuchen, which surprises me (I really thought Veejay's red vinyl dress would be a goner). As he leaves, Yuchen says this experience will be with him for his whole life. If so, I hope it gives him some confidence instead of doubt about his abilities."
Sci-fi-inspired outerwear, exemplified by a mid-length coat with a big collar, multiple pockets, and leather accents, is described as the ideal custom outfit. The Threads of Confidence challenge pairs designers with clients to create looks suitable for a night out that culminate in a jaw-dropping on-the-runway reveal. The assignment exposes designers' processes and personalities through direct client collaboration. Jesus imposes his personal aesthetic on his client Jarrad without fully considering Jarrad's preferences. Antonio works collaboratively with his client Stephanie and delivers an outfit that makes her feel like a million bucks. The episode ends with a cliffhanger and a surprising elimination that unsettles expectations.
