Ep 8. Sheer Genius

In Project Runway season 18 episode 8, titled "Sheer Genius," the remaining designers are challenged to create high-end fashion pieces using sheer fabrics. The episode kicks off with mentor Christian Siriano giving the designers a quick lesson on how to work with different types of sheer fabrics, from chiffon to organza. Then, they head to Mood Fabrics to select their materials for the challenge.

Back in the workroom, the designers quickly get down to business. Some of them opt for a more traditional approach, creating elegant gowns and romantic blouses, while others take a more unconventional route. In particular, one designer decides to use a sheer raincoat as the base for their look, while another creates a sheer pantsuit with a bold, graphic print.

As the designers work, they receive visits from some special guests. First, actress and fashion icon Danielle Brooks stops by to offer some words of encouragement and inspiration. Then, Project Runway season 4 winner Christian Siriano pays a visit to the workroom to check in on the designers' progress and offer some feedback.

As the deadline approaches, tensions start to run high in the workroom. One designer in particular struggles to finish their garment, leaving them feeling anxious and uncertain about their chances in the competition.

In the final runway show, the judges are impressed by the level of creativity and skill on display. However, as always, there can only be one winner. The judges evaluate each garment on its use of sheer fabrics, overall design, fit, and styling, ultimately deciding which designer will be sent home and who will move on to the next challenge.

Overall, "Sheer Genius" is a high-stakes, high-drama episode of Project Runway that showcases the designers' talent and versatility. With the added challenge of using sheer fabrics, the episode offers a fresh and unique take on the competition. Fans of the show won't want to miss this exciting installment.
