Project Runway All Stars

by Todd Betzold

 

Tasty treats turned into tasteful outfits on this week's episode of Project Runway All Stars with a challenge on speed control.

 

Challenge this week: design a tasteful outfit inspired by the colors and flavors of gelato. Michael gets to choose first, since he won last weeks challenge, and he chooses Grapefruit. He picks Mondo to choose next, who picks Cantaloupe and it all continues until Kara is the last one standing and gets Chocolate with Cayenne Pepper.

 

Time to meet our guest judge for the week: the president of the Council for Fashion Designers Association, Diane von Furstenberg. A big deal, but Michael queens out and almost has a panic attack...get it together girl!

 

It may be tasteful, but the designers aren't going to have time to enjoy it...we have the quickest challenge in Runway history. They have six hours to complete the outfit...how can one really present a good outfit in that amount of time? We shall see by the end of the show.

 

After 30 minutes of sketching and 30 minutes of shopping, the designers are going crazy trying to put something together in six hours. While shopping, some designers made some big errors: Mondo didn't have enough time to buy all the fabric he needed and Michael measured wrong and his material is short...will this matter in the end?

 

Time for Joanna's visit. No critiques seemed to stick out...she seems to be too nice to them. She needs to be harsher and not so touchy-feely. Now fitting time for the models...this quick challenge is making my head hurt because everything is happening so fast...slow down people!

 

The designers are all struggling to finish their outfits. Austin can't do a zipper, so he sews his model into the dress. Everyone seems to be hot gluing their outfits. It makes no sense to me t do a challenge in six hours...the outfits are going to be mediocre.

 

And we are back on the runway, as we meet the judges. Georgina, Isaac is back, Diane and other guest judge Miranda Kerr, who will wear the winner's outfit to an industry event. The ones I enjoyed this week: Mondo and Kenley. And the ones I did not enjoy: Michael (too much fabric), Kara (the model looked pregnant) and April (too plain and short).

 

Sticking around for highest and lowest scores are Kara, Anthony, Mila, Michael, April and Mondo. Much love from the judges for Michael (Diane told him to call her after the show, which made him almost pass out), Mila and Mondo. No love from the judges for Kara (looked like she was hiding a baby bump), April and Anthony.

 

The judges discuss the designers and with five different opinions who knows how they are going to pick a winner and a loser. The designers come back and time to get the results. Mila is safe, so a battle between Mondo and Michael for the winner. For the second week in a row, Michael is the winner. Mondo and Anthony are safe, so now a battle between April and Kara to see who goes home. I thought Kara would be going home, but she is safe and April will be heading home.

 

Project Runway All Stars airs Thursdays at 9/8c on Lifetime.
