AKA. Stuck on You
Previously on Project Runway the designers were paired off into teams of 2 and were asked to design a prom dress out of various colors of Duct Tape. The designs would then be judged by a group of high school students who's votes would account for 20% of their points. Let's take a look at the designs.

Richard was immediately peeved that Stanley chose to work with Layana this week instead of him. Come on, Richard! It's not like you own Stanley! Anyways, Layana and Stanley immediately wanted to work with gold tape, but Daniel and Richard had already monopolized the color. Stanley thought they his team should use zebra print instead, but Layana was hesitant. In the end, they created a "cool girl" look (worthy of a Betsey Johnson collection in my opinion) and the pair were safe.

I thought that the Daniel and Richard collaboration was going to go off really well because both designers had wins under their belt. And initially it did start off well as the two began creating a nice strapless gold gown. But, it started to go downhill when they started adding the ruffles which gave their dress an 80s vibe that the judge felt was dated. These two designers barely squeaked by.

Season 11 Episode 8
AKA The Most Disappointing Episode Ever
Previously on Project Runway, the designers were treated to a surprise performance by the Thunder from Down Under (a male stripping/dancing group from Australia) which made all of them blush. Then the designers were split into 2 teams selected by the judges. Each team was asked to create 3 tear away looks for the Thunder From Down Under dancers.
The Teams were
Team Fifty Shades of Grey: Michelle, Stanley, Daniel and Patricia.
Team Slick and Hip: Samantha, Richard, Amanda and Layana
Let's take a look at their designs:
Team Fifty Shades of Grey wanted to create sexy office workers from the past with suits and jackets, but Michelle suggested that they create a sexy bike messenger instead. It appeared that the team decided to let Michelle do her own thing while the others stuck to the sexy office plan. Michelle arguably ended up creating the best look because she incorporated a zippered vest (instead of Velcro), but it didn't fit just right.

Team Slick and Hip also came up with a suit theme. The team decided to divide themselves up to play up their strengths which didn't help them at all because none of them had ever designed menswear before. Stanley created all of the shirts but he forgot the collar stands, so the collars were all floppy and the shirts were too long. Amanda made the pants pattern's and created 2 sets of awful pants (one set was too tights, the other set had mismatched hem lengths). Layana made the suit jacket even though she'd only ever designed women's jacket's before. And Samantha created the only wearable garments- a vest and pants.
