Collaboration

edit

"Model" Clients

edit
Jay: Jay : She bangs into like the room and she ARGHARGHARGHARGH!!!!!
Jay: So now that I'm thinkin', I kinda want to sabotage her...no, if I was doing that, I'd be doing what Nora's making. (everyone laughs) Morgan, I covered your dress in roses
Tim: Jay, listen to your own voice... And tell her there's a reason why she's a model and you're the designer.

Making a Splash

Postal Uniform Challenge

Design for the Red Carpet

edit

Reunion Show

edit

Fashion Week

Season 2

edit

Road to Runway

edit
Tim Gunn: This is NOT fashion camp.
Santino: If Van Gogh had had my personality, he wouldn't have had to cut off his ear.
Heidi: When I saw her coming down the runway, I thought 'How pretty are you!' I just want everything to be pretty pretty pretty!
Nina Garcia: Pretty can be boring.
Heidi Klum: Auf Wiedersehen.
Heidi: I don't know what that means, but bye!

Clothes Off Your Back

edit
Tim Gunn: (to Guadalupe) What are you doing? This is such wretched excess.
Tim Gunn: (to Andrae) Being this tight and close to the deadline, with this much work to do, is…a little alarming.
Tim Gunn: (to Daniel Franco) Trying and acheiving are two different things.
Nick: (in confessional) All of a sudden I looked in the corner and Lupe's going from person to person, sort of giving her critique, and I'm like 'Well, that's kind of nervy!' You do it, girl, but don't you even try to come right here. You might get hurt.

All Dolled Up

edit
Nick: We were in Times Square. God, I knew I should have worn a better outfit.
Michael Kors: (on Raymundo's Barbie design) She looks like Barefoot Appalachain Lil' Abner Barbie.

Team Lingerie

edit
Zulema: Marla and Emmett both are last because: A, they can't pattern-make, two, they're not the best sewers, so who would want them on their team?
Daniel Franco: The concept is like, really beautiful, romantic lingerie. People wear lingerie, it's because they're about to like, you know, get some action or something. At least I'm hoping, you know, for them.
Nina Garcia: (about Santino's lingerie line) It's just aesthetically not pleasing!
Kara: (when on Daniel's team) If you get us cut, Daniel, I'm going to snip your pee pee off.
Daniel Franco: My name is Daniel Franco and I wish you all bliss.

Social Scene

edit
Gudalupe: (to Tim, talking about her design) I thought it looked like crap.
Tim: I'm not going to debate that.
Gudalupe: Yeah, it looked like crap.
(They stare at the design)
Tim: I'll leave you alone.

Window Shopping

edit

Zulema to Kara: I don't care if you cry and cut, but you're going to cry and cut. You're going to cut at that rate. Do whatever you need to do. You need to work. Don't stop and cry.

On Thin Ice

edit
Santino: (singing) Tim Gunn, Tim Gunn, if he calls your name you're done.
Andrae: Off with her head!
Heidi Klum: I'm ready to give Santino an 'auf wiedersehn' right now!
Santino: (imitating Michael Kors) "She looks like... like a baboon's ass exploded all over her backside!" Okay Michael, what else?

Inspiration

edit
Daniel V: It's a motherfucking walkoff!
Santino: (imitating Tim) Designers, up until now you all f*kin' sucked. However, go out there and kick butts!
Tim Gunn: (about Nick's new model) She looks like an elongated marshmallow.

Flower Power

edit
Nick: I just had to stay for the damn 'make a dress out of flowers' challenge.
Tim Gunn: What happened to Andrae?
Tim: Andrae..look at all this flotsam and jetsam!
Andrae: I know, it looks like I've done yard work.
Santino: (imitating Tim) Designers, look out for Andrae. He's our little lamb.
Andrae: Is there anyone else out there like Santino? In the world? I don't think so. And if there is, don't call me, because one is enough.

Makeover

edit

What's Your Line

edit
Tim Gunn: (to Chloe) You just have to say all these things on the runway: "Nina, I wanted her to look like she had a big fat ass."

Reunion

edit
Tim Gunn: Daniel, we're glad you came back, and maybe we'll see you for Season 3 as well.
Daniel Franco: You might. You just might.
(Awkward silence)
Daniel Franco: I love you, Heidi.
Rachael: (on being Zulema's model) At one point she asked me if she could glue the dress to me, and I was like, "I'm kind of a real person."

Finale: Part 1

edit

Finale: Part 2

edit
Chloe: Lack of sleep is making me a diva.
Heidi: You can almost not see the dress because you're so distracted by the piece in the front.
Daniel V: But it kept you looking, didn't it?
Heidi: But not in a...positive way.

Season 3

edit

Road to Runway: Casting Special

edit

Wall to Wall Fashion

edit
Stacey: (to Tim) What if I put them along here? That could be quite special!
Jeffrey: Poor Vincent. He's obviously nuts.

Fit for a Queen

edit
(When picking teams, Angela is the only one left)
Vincent: Well, I'm happy to work with Alison.
Angela: Angela.
Robert: There are enough rhinestones.
Kayne: Robert, we bought four million bags of rhinestones, we will put them on till our fingernails bleed.
Robert: She's a beauty queen, not a disco ball!
Vincent: (to Angela) I need you to step three feet away from me.
Angela: I'll step back a foot and a half, if you step back a foot and a half.
Vincent: (on working with Angela) This was the nightmare of my life.

Designer's Best Friend

edit
Jeffrey: What if Bradley goes home on his birthday? That's all I'm saying.
Robert: See, I have this thing about stories. I hate them. I think they're stupid.
Keith: God help us all, I hope Bradley's not out, but he is taking way too long with his garment. I don't know what the hell's going on. If he would have just gone with his vision, it still couldn't have been any worse than anything that Angela did.
Keith: (about Angela's design) She's making an outfit right now for the dog show that's like a big bag of Skittles. Purple and pink and scary.
Keith: (in confessional) Laura. Oh my god. She's Bad Mommy.
Keith: I know that this challenge is about accessorising the dog, but it's so lame.
Vincent: You know, Bradley is definitely Bradley. He likes to jump off bridges and find things as he falls.
Robert: Bradley is running around crazy, like a man without a country.
Bradley: It was a great birthday because...my model didn't go nude down the runway.
Nina Garcia: (to Angela) I don't get it, I don't get your explanation about the assistant to the director to the art camp in Paris. (pauses) I don't even know what to say.

Reap What You Sew

edit
Laura: (on a team with Angela and Michael) We were actually really happy with Angela's fabric selection. It was more appropriate for the challenge, not full-tilt boogie Angela quilted extravaganza...of puff.
Angela: I am leading Tim towards the light!

Iconic Statement

edit
Bradley: I don't know shit about Cher.
Michael Knight: I'm not trying to play Captain Save-A-Ho.
Robert: (to model Amanda) Amanda, I cannot take on your issues from childhood.
Bradley: TRESemme. Yeah, I used their gel last night and I think it made my hair look better today.
Tim Gunn: I hate hot pants, but they're very now.
Kayne: (in confessional) My model is Amanda, and Amanda will not shut up. Are you freaking kidding me? Shut up! You should be pretty and seen and not open your mouth.
Model (Katie Champion): (trying to explain to Bradley who Cher is) Cher is more into pop music right now.
Bradley: You mean pop music like Prince?

Waste Not, Want Not

edit
Robert: Another hard day at the waste-management recycling center.
Robert: I recycle papers...plastics...ex-boyfriends...
Kayne: I grew up white trash, so my sister and I used to go dumpster diving all the time. I basically grew up in a trash can.
Vincent: I let things evolve. I don't own the future. I don't go there, you know what I mean?
Kayne: (talking about Laura) Her dress is cute.
Robert: It says, FOR NUTS ONLY. It looks like a straightjacket. I was like, she's sewing for herself again.
Kayne: I went overboard. It's one of those things where I just kept adding and adding and it ended up looking like a toad exploded on it.
Robert: (about his recycling materials dress) I'm really thrilled, because it looks like a cocktail dress... albeit a cheap, tacky cocktail dress that a hooker might wear, but nonetheless it still looks like real clothes.
Laura: I worry about - wonder about your choices so often, sweetheart.
Kayne: Well, honey, I worry about your character, and that's worse.
Michael Kors: (about Alison's model) She looks like a paper brioche.

Everyday Woman

edit
Jeffrey: (on designing a dress for Angela's mom) I ended up with Angela's mom because...I think God got drunk today.
Laura: (about being pregnant with her sixth child) Five, six, seven...I'll just throw it on top of the pile with the other ones.

High Flying Fashion

edit
Michael Kors: (to Angela) You're a mess just standing there.

Couture Du Jour

edit
Uli: Mr. Kayne! Time to get up!
Kayne: Oh god! Shoot me in the face.

Black and White

edit
Jeffrey: They say it's a party. It's never a party.
Jeffrey: When Heidi introduced the second 'special' guest, it was Angela. And she sure was 'special'...if you know what I mean.

What the Elle?

edit
Michael: I even made a white girl look like she had some ass. That's how damn sexy my dress is.
Uli: (about Michael's dress) To me, it looks like one of these ads in the magazine, you know...I'm alone at home, please call me at 1-800...whatever...you know, these, these sex ads.

Reunion

edit
Heidi: But first before we start with that, I would love to hear how it's been been recognized by people since the show started airing. Bradley, How it's been for you? You look different.
Bradley: (Now shaved and with short hair) They don't recognize me anymore
Tim Gunn: Now they will after they see this show.

Finale: Part 1

edit
Tim Gunn: (leaning down) What is that?
Bennett-Shelton Child #4: Turtle poop.
Tim Gunn: (straightening up and backing away) Eww! I don't think I want any turtle poop!

Finale: Part 2

edit

Season 4

Christian repeatedly says "That's fierce!" or some variation throughout the season.

Sew Me What You Got

edit

I Started Crying

edit
Chris: I moved to New York because of 'Sex in the City' and there was Sarah Jessica Parker standing in front of me.
Sweet P: You spit on it? What's going on?
Sweet P: Basically, I'm from planet Earth. Elisa is on some happy planet. I'm not sure of the name.
Elisa: I'm coming to your planet, but with gifts.
Michael Kors: (on Christian's retro 80's design) Next thing you know, it's big button earrings and you're on 'The Facts of Life.'
Heidi Klum: (on Marion's design) In 10 minutes on the runway, it grew.
