  1. The ??Project Runway?? designers go back-to-school as 11 tween and adolescent painters from the Harlem School of the Arts grow to be their inventive consultants.

    Here??s hoping there??s pizza, donuts and Red Bull in the workroom.

    And sew it goes:

    The Challenge: The designers have to collaborate on an original painting with their young muses and then, build an avant-garde design determined by the teen-spiration. Their designs should push boundaries but not be ??too literal.?? In other words, go weird or go dwelling.

    The Making-it-Workroom Drama: A number of the designers just don??t understand how to kid around. Viktor Luna ??needs a cocktail?? right after painting using a hyper-opinionated, 12-year-old Skye. Laura Kathleen fashions pretty flowers with 11-year-old Kai, the Dali Lama of art, who preaches that ??failure?? is excellent. Um, Kai clearly hasn??t been critiqued by judge Michael Kors.
    Meanwhile, Olivier Green glues his pretty chiffon bodice to his model, breaking the ??PR?? guidelines and gets a tongue-lashing demerit (but not detention) from mentor Tim Gunn.

    The Runway Show: Is definitely an Expressionistic mess and we??re avant carried out with it. The catwalk options undesirable prom dresses, a hooker wolf suit, a dress Gunn dubbed ??Take Me to Geronimo?? plus a denim interpretation of FedEx delivery boxes.

    The Guest Judge: Designer, shoe maven, philanthropist and political activist Kenneth Cole brings his often powerful billboard viewpoints to the panel.

    Who??s In: Color-blind designer Anthony Ryan Auld wows once again with an ethereal gown according to the brushstrokes of his student muse. Heidi Klum is so in really like with his frock, Stylelist nearly forgot she was desperate to ??auf him last week.

    Who??s Out: Joshu a Christensen gets mauled by Kors for his ??Victorian cocktail dress in Las Vegas?? wolf-inspired dress and is sent residence –again. Stylelist understands it was an clear choice to do away with Christensen, who currently had been eliminated in episode two and was provided a second shot on the runway after Cecelia Motwani quit the competition. Nonetheless, we have been gunning for Green??s glued-on valium gown to motivate the judges to bid him adieu.
