Smile Down the Runway (ランウェイで笑って)

I'll do it.

Will you let me fix Miss Fujito's dress,

Mr. Yanagida?!

"Smile Down the Runway"

"Episode 3" "Smile Down the Runway" What could you possibly do, Bob?

-Huh...? What's happening?

--I don't know. But I'm just going to do it! --Huh...? What's happening?

--I don't know. But I'm just going to do it! --That boy's saying he'll fix the dress.

Does he even know how to sew?

Mr. Yanagida! We're out of time!

All right.

I'll guide you through this.

Just do exactly what I say.

No!

The 40 dresses are all out of order!

We can't do this without you directing us!

Damn it.

You'll find him intriguing. Trust me.

Sure, he is a bit rough around the edges,

but within his head, the designs are completely thought out.

You of all people should know

how difficult that is...

Hey, Bob!

Just don't forget what this brand is about, got it?

Yes!

I'm sorry to keep you wait--

Still doing makeup. I'll finish soon!

"Doom"

"Doom" I-I'll do my best.

I got this.

Mr. Yanagida's brand concept is to make clothes for independent women

that are as strong as they are.

I need to maintain that image and fit it to Miss Fujito's size...

Think... Think... Think...

F-First, I need to do something about this hem touching the floor...

Hey, are you sure about cutting that hem?

Huh? What do you mean...?

Miss Moriyama specifically said she couldn't cut the hem...

Right, it'd be too much of a hassle.

I'll have to prevent the fabric from fraying...

Thick fabric takes more time to alter...

There's no time to do it by hand...

Then...

Should I use a sewing machine?

I've never used this type before...

But I've got no choice!

Miss Fujito!

Please undress for me.

Okay! I need the fitter!

I don't have a thick enough needle for this fabric...

I need durability.

Do I use a thin needle?

Unwieldy fabric and an unfamiliar sewing machine...

If the needle gives out on me...

...I'm screwed!

I'm going to go draw up a design...

What?

Hey! There's no time...!

I know!

Tsumura...

I need to figure out another way...

There's more to fix than just the hem.

The dress is too big overall.

And most importantly...

...the dress must live up to the Yanagida name!

Hey, is he okay?

He doesn't seem okay...

How much time do we have?

Less than a minute.

He's not going to make it...

Oh, no...

Mr. Yanagida! This isn't good...

We could use the tallest woman on the staff as a replacement model.

What do you think, Mr. Yanagida?

Look at me.

You're good at it, remember?

Making me look amazing.

It's showtime.

What?

Go!

The show started.

I go out in 13 minutes...

Will you make it?

Just now...

Miss Fujito's hands were trembling...

Of course they were.

I'm not the only one who's been forced into a corner...

But...

Gosh.

You always put me on the spot, Miss Fujito.

Thank you very much.

I'm okay now.

You can leave everything to me.

Please stand still.

The qualities of Miss Fujito...

She has a great figure.

When I saw her photo, her proportions were no different than a runway model.

She simply lacks the height. Otherwise, she's well-proportioned.

Another quality is her powerful presence.

She emits a lot of energy.

Because of her power, she got me out of my head...

Now on to the dress.

It's designed to be an elegant form that conceals the lines of the body...

But in order to bring out Miss Fujito's qualities,

the dress needs texture to match her youthful energy.

I want to make a dress that melts her tension away.

Tsumura?

All right. Please excuse me.

What?

-Hey! What are you doing, you idiot!

--Ouch! Ouch! --Hey! What are you doing, you idiot!

We need to do something about the length!

This dress has a cushion that functions to create a unique shape.

We need to take that out first.

Don't worry. It's dark in here!

I can't see anything!

I really can't!

Shut up!

There's no time.

Please just bear with me.

He was so flustered seeing naked bodies a second ago...

Shoot. I hope I don't smell.

I did just run over here...

Miss Fujito, could you open your legs wider?

Ouch! Ouch!

I'm going to shorten it from here.

What? So you are cutting it?

Yes, I'm cutting it!

If I can't process the hem...

...I just have to make it disappear!

So...

He rolled it up.

Now we use this belt!

For the wearer, the back is as important as the front.

There's no way I could sew together a bundle of thick fabric.

That's why...

...I'll tie it up!

Bob! You've got five minutes!

I need to make sure...

...Miss Fujito walks on the runway!

Please hang tight!

I just need to finish this in time!

Wow...

Think!

I don't have time to waste.

The quality of the fabric, the desired silhouette...

No pattern... Not even a test run!

I'll get it right all at once!

Just a little more...

Just a little more...

Just a little more...

Damn it!

It's not ready yet, right?

Don't worry.

We could buy a little more time.

The music is slower now.

They're going for elegance.

You can tell by the models' walks, too.

You're right.

They are walking slowly.

Your dress kept changing every time we came back from the runway.

Everyone's excited.

You can do this.

Miss Fujito.

Yeah?

My dream I told you about...

...it already came true.

Huh? What do you mean?

I wanted you to wear my clothes again.

What are you talking about? This doesn't count. It's not your brand.

You better get on it.

I might already be a hypermodel you can't hire by the time you're starting up as a designer.

You were trembling earlier-- that's quite the statement.

What? You were watching me?

More like... I felt it.

Y-You're such a creep!

Miss Fujito, please don't get nervous and fall.

Who do you think I am?

The model's coming back in ten seconds!

All right Miss Fujito.

Good luck.

Smile Down the Runway.

What? Are you bored, Niinuma?
