== sync, corrected by elderman ==

>> It's awesome to see Project

Runway here in Times Square.

Way to start the season off with

a bang.

>> There are so many people, and

it's just amazing to be here.

>> Welcome to season ten of

Project Runway.

>> 32 models, 16 designers,

hair, makeup--it's mayhem.

Oh, my God, it's happening to

that one.

>> Anybody got a lint brush?

>> It's crazy.

There's people everywhere.

It's frantic.

>> Ooh, girl.

I'm getting really anxious,

seeing all the people that are

lined up.

>> It's pretty intimidating.

I'm just going to have to do the

best I can.

>> Designers, I need you to put

your kits away.

That's it for last looks, and I

need you to come to me.

>> Hi, everybody.

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah!

We're in Times Square.

This is our tenth anniversary of

Project Runway, and we're here

with all the fans, and we're

very, very excited.

>> We've had more seasons than I

Love Lucy.

Pretty amazing.

>> Ten years of fabulous

fashion.

>> We thank all of you for

helping make the careers of so

many incredibly talented

designers.

>> And now...

>> We have a big moment.

>> 16 designers with shaking

knees back there.

>> It's true.

They're very, very talented, and

they're very nervous.

>> Would you guys like to meet

them?

Yay!

>> Take a glass of champagne.

>> Times Square?

Ooh.

>> Does it get any bigger than

Times Square?

I don't think it does.

>> Nothing that can even

compare.

This is like mega, mega, mega,

mega, mega, mega, mega, mega.

>> This is better than sex.

>> Designers, I just want to say

how thrilled and honored we are

to have you with us to share

season ten, so we should lift a

glass.

>> Here's to season ten on

Project Runway.

>> Yes, here's to season ten.

>> Cheers, everybody.

Let's start the show!

>> My name is Buffi Jashanmal.

I'm half-Indian,

half-Australian, but I grew up

in Dubai.

The person who I'm trying to

dress, the Buffi girl, is

somebody who is always dressed

up for the party, even if she's

not going to one.

It's colorful, bold, and a

little bit eccentric.

>> Buffi, is it?

>> Yes.

Uh, how do you say your name?

>> Gunnar.

>> Gunnar, okay.

>> This is my second time,

coming to Project Runway.

I did audition last year and

made it to the top 20.

>> Gunnar, I'm sorry, you're

out.

>> I think what went wrong last

time was that I didn't know who

I was as a designer, and now,

coming back, it's a whole

different light.

You know, I have a point of

view.

I know who I am, and this year,

coming back, is definitely a

chance for redemption.

>> Oh, my--oh, my God.

Walking into Parsons for the

first time...

I can't believe we're finally in

here.

This is mental.

This is me.

>> We had a homework assignment

before we came on the show this

time.

We were to make an outfit that

describes our design aesthetic.

Simple chic.

I always like to picture Cruella

de Vil in my outfits, dragging

a fur behind her.

>> My name is Lantie Foster.

I'm 38, and I'm from Northern

California.

I'm sorry, did I say 38?

I did.

I just recently opened up my own

design studio in New York City,

in the garment center.

I love it.

Oh, my dress.

>> Hey, guys, how are you?

>> I'm Buffi.

>> Kooan.

>> We're matching.

>> Hey.

>> I'm Fabio.

>> Lantie. Hi.

>> I'm from Brazil, I hug.

>> Oh, okay.

>>

>> Sonjia.

>> Hi.

>> I didn't see mine.

>> Is yours the pink one on the

end?

>> Both: No.

>> Where's yours?

>> The black one, over there.

>> Oh. It's cute.

It's my favorite.

>> I design for the edgy girl

that is not scared to experiment

with her style.

A very avant-garde kind of

feel.

Okay, where's yours?

>> Mine is this one.

Some people consider my outfit

as very costume design, but it's

not.

>> It's a lot of, like, Japanese

street fashion.

>> Yeah?

I think clothing for everybody

is a little bit different.

Some people wear to have a, "I'm

a little more richer than what

you think," or something like

that, you know what I mean?

But my thing about clothing is,

I do make clothing because of

"love."

I like making a lot of "love."

Yeah.

>> When I went to college, I

wanted to be a lawyer, and I

took one political science

class, and I looked around, and

I was like, "these are not my

people."

It took me ten years to go back

to school to finally pursue my

Masters in fashion design.

>> So, what's your style?

Like, what do you like to

design?

>> Um, I design a lot in black,

kind of more gothic-inspired.

I love black.

I love using black.

I love black and white films.

I love black and white
