Ep 9. Takin' It to the Street

In Project Runway season 7 episode 9, titled "Takin' It to the Street," the remaining designers are tasked with creating a streetwear-inspired look. The episode begins with the designers heading to the streets of New York City to observe the latest trends in street fashion. Tim Gunn meets them and reminds them that they need to create a look that is both stylish and functional for everyday wear.

Back at the workroom, the designers are immediately hit with a twist. They are each given a T-shirt and are told they must incorporate it into their streetwear look. Some designers struggle to come up with an idea for their shirt, while others are inspired and use it as a starting point for their design.

As always, there are some setbacks and complications along the way. One designer struggles with their fabric choice and decides to completely start over with only a few hours left until the runway show. Another designer is feeling under the weather and has to push through to finish their garment.

The runway show features guest judge Jessica Alba, who is known for her own street style. The looks are diverse, with some designers going for a more traditional streetwear aesthetic while others take a more avant-garde approach. One designer's use of the T-shirt in their design receives universal praise from the judges, while another is criticized for not fully embracing the streetwear theme.

Ultimately, one designer is deemed the winner, receiving high praise for their unique take on streetwear. Another designer is sent home, with the judges feeling that their look was not cohesive enough.

As always, the episode is full of drama, tears, and moments of triumph. It showcases the designers' creativity and ability to adapt to new challenges. The streetwear theme adds a fresh twist to the season and allows the designers to showcase their personal style.
