>> Previously on Project Runway
All Stars...
This week's challenge is to
find a muse to give you their
clothes off their back.
>> This is nutty.
>> Hi, hot white guy.
I need those shorts right off
your back.
>> I'll do it for 60.
>> Okay, 60.
>> I want to sell this.
I love this tank top.
>> New Yorkers don't take that
very well.
>> You haven't actually got a
challenge under your belt yet.
>> Kenley finished Kara's
pants.
>> That's not okay.
>> Why aren't you looking as
modern and chic as you were in
my head?
I have no clue what I'm doing.
>> I would die for this outfit.
>> I think it's amazing that you
got all this from what you found
on the street.
>> Well done, Mondo.
You are the winner of this
challenge.
>> She looks like someone that
should be in the Lion King.
>> Part of the judging criteria,
it has to be 50% fabric.
>> I don't think it really
answers the challenge.
>> Anthony, you're out.

>> You know why I mess with you
so much, is because I actually
have a crush on you.
And then you started talking,
and then I was like...
>> Mondo!
>> When I first got here, I
thought, "Kenley is obnoxious
and annoying."
And yes, she's loud...
>> Oh! Oh!
>> Obnoxious, and annoying.
>> But I love to push her
buttons.
>> Hey, you guys.
We have to get going.
We're going to be late.
>> Good morning, designers.
Good morning.
>> Angela is looking like quite
the bag lady.
What is this about?
>> You know, it's so hard to
find something to wear on a
weekend getaway, don't you
think?
>> Yes.
>> Funny that, because I have
eight weekend getaway bags
here--one for each of you.
>> I thought she was going to be
like, "pack your bags,
designers.
We're going to Paris!"
No.
>> Mondo, you won last week's
challenge, so you choose first.
>> Orange leather bag.
I picked the brightest, most
sophisticated bag.
I know that the challenge has
something to do with this bag.
>> Mondo picked the next person,
and then that person picked the
next person, and so on and so
forth.
>> I'm happy.
>> In each of your bags, you
will find a luggage tag with
one of the four seasons.
Austin, what season do you have
in your bag?
>> Spring.
>> Kara, what's in your bag?
Spring as well.
>> Spring. Yay.
>> Michael, which season do you
have?
>> Winter.
>> Oh, winter.
>> Summer.
>> Summer.
>> Autumn.
>> Autumn.
>> Yes.
>> All right.
This week you'll be creating
sportswear for a weekend
getaway look.
We have four seasons and
eight designers.
So...let's make this a fashion
face-off.
>> Oh.
>> Okay.
>> Wow.
>> There will be a high score
and a low score for each season.
So Austin and Kara, you both
have spring.
That means one of you will be in
the top four, and one of you
will be in the bottom four.
Take a look around, and now you
know who your direct
competition is.
>> I got you.
>> I guess it is intimidating
that Mondo just won a challenge
and he's my direct competition.
>> I have to go against Rami?
Oh, no.
>> You have a budget of $200,
and one day to create your look.
Remember to think about who your
girl is, and where she is going
for the weekend.
Don't worry, you don't have to
use the bag.
>> Yay.
>> Good luck, guys.
I'll see you back here on the
runway.
Thanks.
I'm sketching a weekend outfit
for a New Yorker that is going
to Marfa, Texas, for the
Art Festival weekend in Marfa.
>> My woman lives in New York
City, but she has a weekend
house.
With spring, she's coming out to
the country for the weekend to
check up on her garden.
Kara is my competitor.
Well, I'm glad you're doing
that, 'cause I know I'll win.
That ridiculous--whatever the
hell's going on there--
hot ruffle?
>> You don't like the ruffle?
>> I don't see it as sportswear.
Actually, no, I'm glad--do that.
Yes, Kara.
That's perfect.
>> I think you should do a
full-pleat pants...
With a really baggy top.
>> Like a knee-length sweater
over the baggy pants?
>> And fur boots.
>> Perfect.
>> No shoes.
>> Yeah, that would be sexy.
>> Hey, you guys, we have to get
to Mood now.
>> Lady Mila Killjoy.
>> Where's your wools?
I knew this time I definitely
wanted to do a coat.
So the first thing I did was
find wools and heavier things
that I thought were kind of
interesting.
>> This is kind of gorgeous,
huh?
I wasn't exactly sure on what
I wanted.
Yeah, I'm going go look around.
I'm always shopping for plan
"A," "B," "C" and "D."
If I can shop for "E" and "F"
too, I'd do that.
>> 15 minutes, designers.
>> Or the polka dot too.
>> 3 1/2?
>> Thank you.
My woman is going to spend
the weekend wine tasting with
her best friend.
She wants to be comfortable, so
I thought of this really cool
cardigan type of look.
>> It's just like picking up a
person.
>> Time's up.
Need to bring it to the
register.
>> It's very sophisticated.
>> Thank you.
>> Thank you.
>> Bye. Thank you.
That's going to be the most
difficult part of the whole
entire look, and it's going to
require the most attention
to detail.
Michael Costello, I think he's a
great designer, and let's see
what he's got, so bring it on.
Let's do this Winter thing,
baby.
>> I want to do like this really
cool geometric kind of jacket.
A short version with a tie, like
in my sketch.
I have to play with the fabric
first, to see how it's going
to lay and see how it's going to
fall.
>> I'm designing a skinny jean
with a cape.
So my first order of business is
to make the pants.
Pants are tricky.
>> I'm not threatened by Mila's
designs.
Mila's aesthetic and my
aesthetic are two completely
different things.
>> I've decided to go ahead with
a pair of pants and a top.
But I'm not feeling too
confident about this one.
>> Are you nervous, Mondo?
>> Yeah.
I have some stiff competition.
>> My girl is like really...
Just light, likes to have fun.
She's going to Miami for an
art festival.
>> Oh, the art basel? Very nice.
>> The art basel.
She just wants to be sexy and
cute.
>> And quirky and Kenley-ish.
>> Exactly.
>> I feel like Kenley's doing
the same thing over and over.
And she has this attitude like,
"I'm doing me. This is me."
You know?
But it's a very arrogant
attitude.
You know, this is a competition.
At least try something new.
>> Who's your girl?
>> She's going to up
Austin's girl in the Hamptons.
>> Oh!
>> Cut all his flowers in his
garden, like this.
>> Oh, wow, she's a real cow.
>> Oh, careful.
>> I saw Michael, across from
me, doing like a high-backed
vest.
>> The fuzzy-wuzzy-was-a-bear
fabric didn't turn out so good.
My thing that I was making is in
the garbage.
Didn't like it at all.
>> We're competition in this, so
he's kind of looking at what I'm
doing, I'm checking out what
he's doing.
>> What are you going to do
then, Mike?
>> I'm like stuck right
now.
>> Me too.
These pants are not coming out
right today.
I don't want to lose to Kenley.
This is like Wrestlemania.
Well, fashion-mania.
>> Coming up on Project Runway
All Stars...
>> Michael is making the same
jacket as me.
>> We're going to have a team
chat.
>> Like it's I got to be
accused of plagiarism.
>> This week's challenge is
creating a weekend getaway look,
sportswear, to harmonize with
our perspective seasons.
>> Two designers have the same
season.
So it is a fashion face-off.
>> It's Jerell and I, Mila and
Rami, Mondo and Kenley, Kara and
Austin.
>> I hate myself right now.
>> What?
>> I don't know what I'm doing.
>> Really?
>> You'll pull it together here.
>> You'll figure it out.
I love that polka dot.
>> Isn't it pretty?
>> It's fabulous.
>> But Kenley is doing polka
dots too.
Don't look at me like that.
I feel like what I did last week
is really good for sportswear.
So I'm going back and forth in
my mind.
Do I show shorts again?
Or should I do a skirt?
>> Like a knee-length skirt?
>> No, ew!
>> A pencil skirt?
>> A mini.
I'll do shorts.
>> I'm mixing a little bit of
dark navy and a beautiful suede,
right around the shoulders and
around the sleeve.
It's going to give it a modern
edge, and that sense of comfort
that I feel like we all seek for
the beginning of fall.
>> What is that?
A jacket.
>> Damn, whip that up.
>> I still have to put pockets
on it.
>> Oh, it's so hot!
Oh, it's too hot.
>> Oh, okay. You're burning up?
>> It's too hot.
>> Okay. I just wanted to make
sure those sleeves were the
right length, so, okay.
>> It's beautiful.
>> Thank you, girl.
Next thing you know, I look
over, and low and behold,
Michael is making the same
jacket as me.
Where'd you get the inspiration
for that shape, Michael?
>> From you, I glanced over
your table and stole the idea
from you.
>> I'm sorry, what?
>> Where did you get your
inspiration?
>> Oh, I came in with it.
>> Oh, no, he didn't!
>> Dude, come on now.
You were making a mini-bolero
jacket, and then all of a sudden
it's the same silhouette.
Come on, like, uh-uh.
Falls kind of similar, but I
suppose one of us can belt it.
>> Yep. It's being belted as we
speak.
>> Fantastic.
>> All right, where's that bell,
girls?
Ding, ding!
>> I think that Michael was
feeling lost.
He doesn't do sportswear,
and he doesn't do winter.
I don't think it was
intentional, but, you know, it
happens.
>> I'm just saying.
>> Hello, designers.
>> Hi, Joanna.
>> I've heard about the fashion
face-off.
So let's start at the beginning
of the year.
>> Who's got spring?
>> Kara and I.
>> Kara and Austin. Okay.
>> Hi, Joanna.
>> Hi, Kara.
Tell me about spring.
>> The look I'm going for is a
very Palm Beach casual chic.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Mother of two kids, going
on a holiday.
I was going to go for a
high-waisted-type culotte pants.
>> High-waisted pants feel very
fashion forward in a good way,
I think.
If you can make great pants,
then you're already a step
ahead.
Austin!
Show me what you're doing.
>> So basically we're going with
sort of a high-waisted khaki
pants.
>> This feels like a very
American sportswear color to
me, right?
>> Yeah, and this floral print
shell that I want to maybe do
some sort of like flat origami
like ruffles cut on the bias.
>> So scalloping ruffles, okay.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm very excited to see who's
going to win, very excited.
Mondo.
>> Hello.
>> Summer.
>> Summer, yes.
>> Who is your girl?
What's the story?
>> It's a personal story.
And today is my mother's 60th
birthday.
>> You're not there.
>> Yeah, so this is my fantasy
of my girl representing me
going to her party.
>> Well, the biggest present for
her would be you, probably,
winning this challenge,
wouldn't it?
>> Yeah, mm-hmm. Yeah, totally.
>> So what's happening on top?
>> I'm doing this kind of polka
dot.
>> I was just looking over to
see if Kenley had polka dots,
'cause I always think of her
as being a polka dot queen.
>> She does have polka dots.
>> Oh, she does have polka dots?
>> She is the polka dot queen,
but I am the polka dot princess.
>> I think of classic when I
think of sportswear.
Here's my sketch.
It's going to be really simple.
I think a lot of girls would
love it.
>> Okay. The war of the polka
dots--I'm dying to know who's
going to win.
>> The war of the polka dots.
Did you hear that, Mondo?
We're in the war of the polka
dots.
>> So...full American
sportswear.
I'm looking at your sketch on
your HP pad.
>> It's a cape.
>> And Mila pants. I would know
know that these were
Mila pants wherever I was,
whoever was wearing them.
>> Oh, I love that. Thank you.
>> They really are your
signature piece.
>> I really respect her opinion.
I mean, she sees hundreds of
thousands of designs,
collections, throughout the
year.
I feel like I'm definitely on
the right track with my look.
>> This sweater and it's going
to go over a jersey knit top,
which is this color.
Similar to what you're
wearing.
>> Very on trend then, Rami.
>> Rami's look, to me, is really
hard to look at.
I feel like the colors are not
right together.
It's like too much volume.
>> This is my look that I'm
doing for winter.
>> Okay, do we have a sketch?
>> Yeah, I do.
It's here somewhere.
>> I'm just listening to see
what exactly Michael is going to
say right now.
"Please explain your
silhouette. Please!"
>> Where did the idea come from?
>> The jacket came from a muslin
that I was just playing with,
and I cut two circles in the
back to create the holes for
your arms to go through.
>> Okay.
>> And it kind of came together
itself.
>> Okay, so you're paired with
Jerell...
>> Jerell.
>> Who's also done a big coat
with leather detail.
>> With leather detail.
>> Okay.
>> I have.
>> Why are you looking like
that?
>> I would be lying if I said it
didn't bother me--the
similarities in our looks.
>> You've both got the cowl-neck
going on, and you've both got a
similar color palette.
Gather, gather, gather.
We're going to have a team
chat, which I like to have at
the magazine when tension
arises.
What do you all think about
this?
>> I know I did try that on like
five minutes into when we
started working.
>> I think the only issue is
that we saw yours first, and
then we saw yours like a while
later.
>> Right.
>> But if it is a competition
and you do see someone doing
something that you think is
better than your idea, is it
wrong to use that idea?
>> I think if you see a better
idea, then you have to push
yourself further.
>> In your direction.
>> In your direction.
>> It behooves the two of you to
do the best work you have ever
done on these things.
And may the best man win.
All right, thanks, guys.
>> I was actually pleased to see
Joanna invite everyone over to
see what people generally
thought.
It's really been brought to
everyone's attention.
So tomorrow, I think that the
judging shall be fair.
>> It's bothering me, because
Jerell is my friend.
But I'm seriously not going to
change what I'm doing.
And if he wants to say that I
copied his thing, I don't care.
>> Wait. It's 7:00? No.
Yep.
>> You've got to be kidding me.
>> No.
>> Oh, no.
Now it's time to start working
on the cape.
I've never made a cape before.
So this is like winging it for
me.
>> I really want everything to
be very neat, sharp, immaculate.
That, to me, is American
sportswear.
>> Why are the most beautiful
things always the most
difficult?
>> You want to go take a break
and eat?
>> Yeah.
I just think that whole thing
was so uncalled for.
>> So you feel like you're being
accused of something.
>> Yeah.
When you're doing good,
people just want to hate on
you, no matter what.
>> Just because you've won two
challenges, and you're doing
really well in the competition.
I mean, that's what I see, but I
can't speak for Jerell.
>> There's food here, right?
>> Yeah.
>> Honestly, do you think it's a
coincidence or--
>> I don't even know.
How are you boys doing?
>> Kind of feels just like
dinner at my family's house.
>> Spaghetti?
>> No.
>> Awkward?
>> Awkward.
>> Oh.
>> The tension.
>> I don't want there to be any
tension, like, I don't.
>> I don't want there to be any
tension either.
>> I just ask you to really
put yourself in my shoes.
As simple as it is or not, it's
a square with two holes.
I saw you see me do it.
Then you did it.
>> I do whatever comes to me
naturally.
>> I feel you, even if it's
looking to the left.
That's all I'm saying.
>> Let me tell you that I
literally took a piece of fabric
like this.
>> Well, clearly I know how it's
made.
I mean, I did it first.
>> It's I got to be
accused of plagiarism...
>> Listen to me.
>> This, that, blah-blah-blah.
>> Honestly--
>> Joanna gonna come in and say,
"oh, is there some form of
cheating, the way you work?"
It's.
>> You can keep your little
vest.
>> I'm going to wipe my
ass with the vest.
>> Clearly it's going to be an
interesting runway.
>> Clearly.
>> Coming up on Project Runway
All Stars...
>> I'm looking at Mila's design.
I'm seeing like bubbling on the
cape.
>> I'm definitely sweating it.
>> I think that there's a cozy
spot for him on the bottom.
>> Really, bitch?
>> It's the morning of the
runway, and I'm still working
on the cape.
I decided to add some black
leather binding to the seams,
just to give it that extra pop.
I can't afford for anything to
be subpar at this point, 'cause
I really have to beat Rami.
And this is like, I'm definitely
sweating it.
>> I'm wrapping up last minute
touches on my look.
I'm pairing a pair of earrings
and, uh, a handbag from the
Neiman Marcus accessory wall.
And I'm ready to see what's
going to happen.
You bugging?
>> Yeah, Mondo gave him those
boot options.
>> He's helping him?
>> Yeah, 'cause he wants to
serve it up with these damn
patent leather pumps.
>> How does it look?
>> Mm-mmm?
>> Mm-mmm.
>> I see a side of Jerell that I
haven't seen before.
A lot of little private
conversations going on.
Really, bitch?
You want to play like that?
We can play like that.
>> My model is standing by my
station waiting for her clothes,
and I'm still sewing the damn
red top.
>> Can you check, um, your hair
and makeup time?
>> For my model, I'm going for
a very sort of sexy chic.
So I'm at the L'Oreal hair
salon, asking the stylist to do
like a really big wave.
>> Could do cornrows from side
to side, in the part.
>> Whoo!
>> I really want to do a nod to
the '50s, so I'm going to give
her a very cute barrel curl bang
with a high ponytail.
Get some bangs, girl.
>> She needs a really, really
beautiful red lip, like this
color.
And a very small cat eye.
>> I need flawless skin.
>> Pink lips.
Oh, your eyebrows look good.
>> Maybe do a little bit, sort
of a daytime kind of makeup.
>> Perfect.
>> We've got five minutes, guys.
>> I'm looking at Mila's design.
I'm seeing like bubbling on the
cape.
It's off balance a little bit.
I personally prefer my look.
>> But I might just have it
open, 'cause I like the way it
looks open.
I have my early predictions for
all the seasons.
For fall, I like Mila's pants,
but I think it's Rami's for
sure, 'cause that top is
amazing.
Spring--it's like the oldest
chick from The Goldengirls, or
Money.
For summer, Mondo's got it,
because Kenley's is cute, but
really how many girls are really
wearing polka dots like that?
I mean, maybe Minnie Mouse.
>> My model was the best I've
seen her thus far.
And I think that I have this
one in the bag.
>> Okay, you guys.
We've got to go to the runway.
Let's go.
>> Coming up on Project Runway
All Stars...
>> I wish I had never seen that.
>> She looks like a bore.
>> This look didn't push any
creative boundaries.
>> These two looks are so
similar.
>> Hello, designers.
Hi.
>> This week you were designing
sportswear for a weekend
getaway, for one of the four
seasons.
Two of you had spring...
Two summer...
Two fall...
And two winter.
For each season there will be a
high score and a low score.
Let's meet the judges.
First, designer and co-founder
of Marchesa, Georgina Chapman.
>> Hi.
>> One of the most famous names
in fashion, Isaac Mizrahi.
>> How are you, kids?
>> And our guest judge has long
been a fashion and style
authority.
It's the award-winning designer
Cynthia Rowley.
So here we go.
Have a great show.
♪
>> I'm hoping the judges notice
that the look is very wearable,
classic...
And something that you could
actually go to a Neiman Marcus
store and see there.
>> I'm really hoping that the
judges notice a sort of really
simple chic aesthetic, and that
they can see that I have a
really strong color sensibility.
And I'm hoping that they can
really understand simple chic
elegance.
>> I really love the way she
looks.
She looks fresh, she looks
young, she looks like she could
go anywhere on a hot summer day.
>> I think that my mom would be
really proud of me, and that she
would be honored that this is my
gift to her for her 60th
birthday.
>> I love the design.
I hope that the judges notice my
attention to detail.
It's really beautiful suede.
The shoulders of my jacket,
which I think is very unique.
>> I love this look,
and I'm hoping the judges see
that I'm making a classic
American sportswear with my
modern twist, and that I'm doing
a silhouette that they haven't
seen before from anybody else--
a cape.
>> I couldn't be happier with my
look.
I love the way the cardigan
works with the boots and the
little cashmere hat.
A woman walking down the street
in this would have heads
turning.
She'd feel like a million bucks.
I'm really excited that this is
truly a face off and that both
girls are out at the same time,
because mine is better.
>> I feel really good.
I feel like this woman is
definitely going to stand out.
He made something that looks
like Moses would wear it.
I made something that looks like
Jackie Kennedy would wear it.
>> Let's start with the first
two seasons--spring and summer.
Fall and winter, you guys can
wait backstage.
Designers, let's bring out
your models.
>> Austin, Kara, you both had
spring.
One of you has a low score and
one of you has a high score.
Let's start with you, Austin.
Cynthia.
>> It's almost so, uh, dorky
it's cool, you know?
I think the way you did the
trousers high-waisted like that,
I think it makes it more modern.
>> You're attempting to do this
new khaki trouser that's more
high-waisted.
Tailored beautifully, I might
add, right?
To me, on that girl, it goes a
little moderate.
>> I just really wanted to do
something very American classic.
>> But somehow she looks a
little boring to me--she looks
like a bore.
I would never want to have lunch
with her and go into a garden
with her, sorry.
>> Yeah, I'm with you.
I can't see an everyday girl,
modern woman, in this.
I have to be honest.
>> There's something about this
girl that reminds me of a small
town going to church or
something.
We're going to move on to
Kara's spring look.
I think it's a very wearable
comfortable look.
I like the way the pants move
and fit.
>> To me, I just don't see
anything original about any of
these pieces at all.
>> I mean, we're packing for
a getaway.
I'm not necessarily being
avant-garde in Palm Beach.
I'm trying to be very put
together, like conservative
and chic.
>> I don't feel it.
Like gray, purple, and then
white pants.
It's like, really?
Unless you're just really
running out to the store.
>> I think the fabric choices
are good actually.
And a lot of women do want to
look like that.
I think that's a nice look.
I wouldn't mind looking like
that.
>> I agree, and between these
two looks, it was very, very
close.
Ultimately, Kara, you had the
high score and Austin, you had
the low score.
Mondo and Kenley, you both had
summer.
Let's start with you, Kenley.
>> I really like this.
I think it's really simple and
chic.
And I love that there's no
accessories except the little
orange bootee.
>> I like this too, a lot.
>> Thanks.
>> I like that it's one piece.
It's great.
>> Thank you.
>> I think the only criticism I
would really have is, if you're
going to use a polka dot, it's
just line it up a little bit
better in the short, because
that's throwing my eye just
slightly.
>> I would love to wear this
outfit.
>> Thanks.
>> So Mondo, you also had
summer.
>> I'm a little confused,
because the hair's very '50s,
the earrings look '50s.
The top looks kind of--
I'm not sure.
The bracelets are kind of '80s.
There's a lot of different
directions.
Could I see the back?
Oh, boy.
>> Maybe because of the
textiles, it goes a little like
junior or something.
>> The print on your short that
you used last week was so
flattering.
And I think this week, the
short's not quite as flattering.
>> I really struggled this week,
'cause I--I mean, the idea of
sportswear, for me--I felt like
I had to do stuff that's like
you guys have been saying, and I
started over like three times.
I know I don't want to make
excuses, but--
>> It's very Desperately Seeking
Susan, it's very '80s that top,
isn't it?
I get '80s.
>> Do you?
>> And those pockets.
>> So much chicer without them.
>> The bag just takes it
somewhere that's so weird.
>> So let's recap.
Kenley, you have the high score.
Mondo, you have the low score.
You guys can all leave the
runway, and we're going to bring
back fall and winter.
Thank you.
They hated it.
It just sucks when it's a
personal story, you know?
>> No, I understand.
>> And they dog you.
That was embarrassing.
This was supposed to be like a
gift to my mother.
>> You didn't up on
anything.
Hey, listen, they said they
would never have lunch with
Austin's girl.
>> Mila and Rami, you both had
fall.
Rami, is it something that you
can wear open as well as closed?
>> Yes, it can definitely be
worn loose...
And just opens like this.
>> Can we see the back?
'Cause I remember it looked very
beautifully cut in the back.
That's absolutely gorgeous.
I love the way the back hangs
without it being belted.
>> I wish you'd get rid of the
green in the blouse.
And then also there's something
sloppy about what's happening on
the neckline of the top.
Looked like too much drapery
around the neck.
>> Right.
>> The thing also about that top
is that diagonal line kind of
makes it look like she's
lopsided a little bit.
Because there's shearing all
along that line, she's a little
uneven.
>> Okay, let's move on to Mila.
>> I like the pop of red.
You know, I don't think perhaps
it's the most exciting, but I
see your vision in there, and I
see you as a designer in it.
>> I really like a cape.
I think with a cape it's
important that it's a functional
cape, that you can still move
around.
>> I like the geometry of it.
I like the like even slivers of
red.
It's chic and wearable.
I like it.
>> So out of the autumn, Mila,
you have the high score, and
Rami, you have the low score.
And finally we have Jerell and
Michael with their winter looks.
>> These two looks are so
similar.
How did that come about?
>> Well, I wanted to show you
guys separates.
So right away, right after Mood,
I went straight in, started
working on my coat.
I guess Michael kind of
experimented with a couple
things, changing a couple of
ideas.
And maybe a couple hours in, I
look over and I guess we got
struck by the same creative bug.
>> Did you notice that in the
workroom as well?
>> No, in the beginning,
I didn't notice.
I do know that Jerell was
starting his coat in the
beginning.
And he moved straight to fashion
fabric like really, really
quick.
And I didn't notice that he did
have what he was working with
until I cut my thing up.
>> Um, Jerell, I like the way
that we've taken your Bohemian
aspect and your tribal aspect,
and you've brought it to a full
look.
>> Thank you.
>> I think the coat's gorgeous.
I wish the buttons didn't appear
on that cardigan.
The buttons on the coat bother
me a lot too, 'cause what if she
really did want to close the
coat?
>> She can close the coat.
>> Could she?
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, right, yeah.
>> Oh, nice.
I love the hat, the hair,
the sleeve length.
The little leather trim,
I think, is great.
And it looks true to your
style too.
>> Thank you very much.
>> Michael.
>> The belt is so beautiful--
I mean, she's resolved.
I find those leggings, with
those shoes, nasty.
If you just could have put her
in a boot, I would have liked it
so much, do you know?
>> Mm-hmm.
>> I'm sorry it throws me, but
really, congratulations.
I think it's a great look.
>> Thank you.
>> It's more of like an ensemble
to me, you know, than like--
it's almost like she's her mom
or something.
Or she's like definitely a
little bit older looking than
this girl.
>> It's really--it's very, very
polished.
She's very sophisticated.
>> Well, it's clear that we all
like your look, but there is one
high score and one low score.
And Jerell has the high score.
And yours is the low score.
>> Okay.
>> Thank you, designers.
We're going to have our
discussion, and we'll call you
guys back to the runway.
>> Thank you.
>> Let's talk about our high
scores.
>> I liked Kenley.
I just thought it seemed
confident, and it was just one
piece with a lot of impact.
>> I like that look.
Kenley's woman would turn my
head.
>> Hers just stood out a little,
because everybody else is like,
"sportswear--we need to do
this."
Well, she stuck to who she was.
But having said that, we have
seen this look quite a lot, and
I would like to see it be
changed up a little bit more.
>> I agree.
I agree about Kenley.
>> I find Mila's look boring.
>> I do think, though, it seemed
chic and wearable.
I-I like it.
>> My problem with it was the
fabric.
I didn't think the fabric looked
expensive at all.
And I get that they're on a
budget, but, I mean, that's part
of being an all star, taking
something inexpensive and making
it look wonderful.
>> That's true.
The thing that bothered me were
the jeans.
If you're going to go for that
Helmut Lang jean, you've got
to get tight, and you've got to
get the zippers exaggerated.
And they were a little
apologetic for what they are.
>> I loved Jerell's look.
>> Jerell's was a great look.
You know, that coat was
fabulous.
>> That whole look looked sort
of anthropologie, which is not
a bad reference.
>> I guess I like that look.
>> But I don't like his sense of
buttons--those giant ones on
the coat looked a little jokey
to me.
>> Jerell's was like kind of
earthy hippie, but it worked
for that whole mood, you know?
>> Let's talk about Kara.
>> It's a perfectly okay look.
And--but I didn't think it was
anything more than that.
>> I get very annoyed when
there's absolutely no style at
all.
>> Well, and she kind of snuck
her way into the high score,
just because Austin went a
little nutso this time.
So let's talk about our low
scores.
>> Okay.
>> Austin.
>> Those pants, to me, were the
best thing in the show today.
It just was the rest of it that
was so bad.
Like, you put those with some
really good other pieces and
accessories as sportswear, you
would love those pants.
>> Okay, I agree--he knows how
to do some things well, but he
doesn't know how to put things
together.
>> To me his intent here was
like completely different than
what we would think was cool.
You know what I mean?
>> I definitely don't think
this is Mondo's best look.
>> I didn't like the...
choice of fabric.
I didn't like the proportions
really.
I hated the accessories.
And I thought it seemed
ill-fitting and sort of not well
made.
>> It's a good look.
It's just not quite as brilliant
as last week, but it is a very
good look.
>> Rami's look just makes me
kind of ill--those colors.
I don't know why he would have
chose those.
>> That jacket was beautifully
cut on the shoulders.
>> Yeah, and the green just took
everything away.
>> I didn't like it.
>> In comparison to the rest of
the look the jacket looked good.
>> It looked like a draping
project to me.
>> The top underneath, I wish
I had never seen that.
>> Me too.
>> What did you think of
Michael?
>> Well--
>> there was apparently a lot of
drama that was happening.
>> I have to say, the design is
not his strongest thing.
It's the execution of a design.
But he goes, "oh, what if I were
to look exactly like something
else today?"
>> And remember the heels with
the leggings, guys.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> But I think his proportion
is good.
>> Yeah, proportion, execution--
but I just don't know if he
copied that coat.
>> Also he seems much more
insecure, and Jerell seems so
sure of himself.
>> I feel, with Michael, if he
was to do a collection, I don't
know what we would get...
>> Me either.
>> At all.
>> Me either.
>> So, have we made our
decision?
>> Reluctantly.
>> Okay, let's bring the
designers back out.
>> Designers.
One of you has been voted this
week's winner...
And one of you will be
eliminated.
>> Designers.
One of you has been voted this
week's winner, and one of you
will be eliminated.
Mila, Kara, you're safe.
You can leave the runway.
Jerell.
Congratulations.
You are the winner of this
challenge.
That means you're through to
next week, and one step closer
to the grand prize.
>> Totally cool.
Thank you guys so much.
>> Jerell, you can leave the
runway.
>> Thank you. Good luck.
Good luck, everybody.
It feels fantastic to be the
winner in this challenge.
I won.
I definitely think my look was
ambitious.
I think my pieces were pulled
off beautifully.
And with the doppelganger on the
runway, I'm happy the judges
were able to see the real McCoy.
>> Kenley, we all loved your
design too.
>> Thanks.
>> Congratulations, you can
also leave the runway.
>> Thank you.
Michael, Mondo. You are
safe, and you can leave the
runway.
>> Thank you.
>> Thank you.
>> Good luck, guys.
One of you will be in and one of
you will be out.
Rami, your neckline had way
too much bulk and needed to be
simplified.
And the shirt looked like a
mistake that you tried to cover
up.
Austin, the tailoring in
your trousers was impeccable.
But this look didn't push any
creative boundaries.
And the styling missed the
mark again.
Rami...
...you're out.
Austin, you are safe.
You can leave the runway.
>> Thank you.
>> Congratulations.
Rami, thank you so much for
being part of All Stars.
>> Thanks for having me.
>> You're such a talented
designer and we really...
>> Thank you.
>> Wish you all the best.
>> Thank you very much.
>> Hear, hear.
>> Good luck.
>> Thank you.
This was my first time on the
bottom and I happened to be
eliminated.
Life goes on.
The universe will take care of
me in its own way.
Hi.
>> Oh, Rami, I'm so sorry.
>> It's okay.
It's impossible for everyone in
the world to like everything
that you do.
And I'm okay with that,
because I realize that's just
the way life is.
>> Beautiful.
>> That jacket was gorgeous.
>> Congratulations.
>> Amazing.
>> All Stars had given me the
exposure that I needed to kick
off what's to come next.
So it was definitely a great
platform to showcase some of my
work, and I'm grateful for that.
>> Next on Project Runway
All Stars...
This week we're on Broadway.
Whoo!
>> It's a world of illusion, a
world of fantasy, and all those
things excite me.
>> Dude!
>> It's like crazy between Kara
and Kenley.
>> Don't look stuck.
You can do it.
>> It's so hard being here.
>> You've just got to push
yourself.
You want to fall flat on your
face.
>> That is a very Kenley print.
>> It looked like an extra from
Boogie Nights.
>> Broadway!
>> I'm not really understanding
who this girl is.
>> She looks like she uses
drugs.
>> This almost reminds me of the
Chiquita banana woman.
>> It's like she doesn't live in
the East Village, she lives in a
doorway in the East Village.
more about the fashion seen on
tonight's show.

All Stars...
This week's challenge is to
find a muse to give you their
clothes off their back.
>> This is nutty.
>> Hi, hot white guy.
I need those shorts right off
your back.
>> I'll do it for 60.
>> Okay, 60.
>> I want to sell this.
I love this tank top.
>> New Yorkers don't take that
very well.
>> You haven't actually got a
challenge under your belt yet.
>> Kenley finished Kara's
pants.
>> That's not okay.
>> Why aren't you looking as
modern and chic as you were in
my head?
I have no clue what I'm doing.
>> I would die for this outfit.
>> I think it's amazing that you
got all this from what you found
on the street.
>> Well done, Mondo.
You are the winner of this
challenge.
>> She looks like someone that
should be in the Lion King.
>> Part of the judging criteria,
it has to be 50% fabric.
>> I don't think it really
answers the challenge.
>> Anthony, you're out.

Fashion Face Off
Original Air Date on February 9, 2012
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
>> You know why I mess with you
so much, is because I actually
have a crush on you.
And then you started talking,
and then I was like...
>> Mondo!
>> When I first got here, I
thought, "Kenley is obnoxious
and annoying."
And yes, she's loud...
>> Oh! Oh!
>> Obnoxious, and annoying.
>> But I love to push her
buttons.
>> Hey, you guys.
We have to get going.
We're going to be late.
>> Good morning, designers.
Good morning.
>> Angela is looking like quite
the bag lady.
What is this about?
>> You know, it's so hard to
find something to wear on a
weekend getaway, don't you
think?
>> Yes.
>> Funny that, because I have
eight weekend getaway bags
here--one for each of you.
>> I thought she was going to be
like, "pack your bags,
designers.
We're going to Paris!"
No.
>> Mondo, you won last week's
challenge, so you choose first.
>> Orange leather bag.
I picked the brightest, most
sophisticated bag.
I know that the challenge has
something to do with this bag.
>> Mondo picked the next person,
and then that person picked the
next person, and so on and so
forth.
>> I'm happy.
>> In each of your bags, you
will find a luggage tag with
one of the four seasons.
Austin, what season do you have
in your bag?
>> Spring.
>> Kara, what's in your bag?
Spring as well.
>> Spring. Yay.
>> Michael, which season do you
have?
>> Winter.
>> Oh, winter.
>> Summer.
>> Summer.
>> Autumn.
>> Autumn.
>> Yes.
>> All right.
This week you'll be creating
sportswear for a weekend
getaway look.
We have four seasons and
eight designers.
So...let's make this a fashion
face-off.
>> Oh.
>> Okay.
>> Wow.
>> There will be a high score
and a low score for each season.
So Austin and Kara, you both
have spring.
That means one of you will be in
the top four, and one of you
will be in the bottom four.
Take a look around, and now you
know who your direct
competition is.
>> I got you.
>> I guess it is intimidating
that Mondo just won a challenge
and he's my direct competition.
>> I have to go against Rami?
Oh, no.
>> You have a budget of $200,
and one day to create your look.
Remember to think about who your
girl is, and where she is going
for the weekend.
Don't worry, you don't have to
use the bag.
>> Yay.
>> Good luck, guys.
I'll see you back here on the
runway.
Thanks.
I'm sketching a weekend outfit
for a New Yorker that is going
to Marfa, Texas, for the
Art Festival weekend in Marfa.
>> My woman lives in New York
City, but she has a weekend
house.
With spring, she's coming out to
the country for the weekend to
check up on her garden.
Kara is my competitor.
Well, I'm glad you're doing
that, 'cause I know I'll win.
That ridiculous--whatever the
hell's going on there--
hot ruffle?
>> You don't like the ruffle?
>> I don't see it as sportswear.
Actually, no, I'm glad--do that.
Yes, Kara.
That's perfect.
>> I think you should do a
full-pleat pants...
With a really baggy top.
>> Like a knee-length sweater
over the baggy pants?
>> And fur boots.
>> Perfect.
>> No shoes.
>> Yeah, that would be sexy.
>> Hey, you guys, we have to get
to Mood now.
>> Lady Mila Killjoy.
>> Where's your wools?
I knew this time I definitely
wanted to do a coat.
So the first thing I did was
find wools and heavier things
that I thought were kind of
interesting.
>> This is kind of gorgeous,
huh?
I wasn't exactly sure on what
I wanted.
Yeah, I'm going go look around.
I'm always shopping for plan
"A," "B," "C" and "D."
If I can shop for "E" and "F"
too, I'd do that.
>> 15 minutes, designers.
>> Or the polka dot too.
>> 3 1/2?
>> Thank you.
My woman is going to spend
the weekend wine tasting with
her best friend.
She wants to be comfortable, so
I thought of this really cool
cardigan type of look.
>> It's just like picking up a
person.
>> Time's up.
Need to bring it to the
register.
>> It's very sophisticated.
>> Thank you.
>> Thank you.
>> Bye. Thank you.
That's going to be the most
difficult part of the whole
entire look, and it's going to
require the most attention
to detail.
Michael Costello, I think he's a
great designer, and let's see
what he's got, so bring it on.
Let's do this Winter thing,
baby.
>> I want to do like this really
cool geometric kind of jacket.
A short version with a tie, like
in my sketch.
I have to play with the fabric
first, to see how it's going
to lay and see how it's going to
fall.
>> I'm designing a skinny jean
with a cape.
So my first order of business is
to make the pants.
Pants are tricky.
>> I'm not threatened by Mila's
designs.
Mila's aesthetic and my
aesthetic are two completely
different things.
>> I've decided to go ahead with
a pair of pants and a top.
But I'm not feeling too
confident about this one.
>> Are you nervous, Mondo?
>> Yeah.
I have some stiff competition.
>> My girl is like really...
Just light, likes to have fun.
She's going to Miami for an
art festival.
>> Oh, the art basel? Very nice.
>> The art basel.
She just wants to be sexy and
cute.
>> And quirky and Kenley-ish.
>> Exactly.
>> I feel like Kenley's doing
the same thing over and over.
And she has this attitude like,
"I'm doing me. This is me."
You know?
But it's a very arrogant
attitude.
You know, this is a competition.
At least try something new.
>> Who's your girl?
>> She's going to up
Austin's girl in the Hamptons.
>> Oh!
>> Cut all his flowers in his
garden, like this.
>> Oh, wow, she's a real cow.
>> Oh, careful.
>> I saw Michael, across from
me, doing like a high-backed
vest.
>> The fuzzy-wuzzy-was-a-bear
fabric didn't turn out so good.
My thing that I was making is in
the garbage.
Didn't like it at all.
>> We're competition in this, so
he's kind of looking at what I'm
doing, I'm checking out what
he's doing.
>> What are you going to do
then, Mike?
>> I'm like stuck right
now.
>> Me too.
These pants are not coming out
right today.
I don't want to lose to Kenley.
This is like Wrestlemania.
Well, fashion-mania.
>> Coming up on Project Runway
All Stars...
>> Michael is making the same
jacket as me.
>> We're going to have a team
chat.
>> Like it's I got to be
accused of plagiarism.
>> This week's challenge is
creating a weekend getaway look,
sportswear, to harmonize with
our perspective seasons.
>> Two designers have the same
season.
So it is a fashion face-off.
>> It's Jerell and I, Mila and
Rami, Mondo and Kenley, Kara and
Austin.
>> I hate myself right now.
>> What?
>> I don't know what I'm doing.
>> Really?
>> You'll pull it together here.
>> You'll figure it out.
I love that polka dot.
>> Isn't it pretty?
>> It's fabulous.
>> But Kenley is doing polka
dots too.
Don't look at me like that.
I feel like what I did last week
is really good for sportswear.
So I'm going back and forth in
my mind.
Do I show shorts again?
Or should I do a skirt?
>> Like a knee-length skirt?
>> No, ew!
>> A pencil skirt?
>> A mini.
I'll do shorts.
>> I'm mixing a little bit of
dark navy and a beautiful suede,
right around the shoulders and
around the sleeve.
It's going to give it a modern
edge, and that sense of comfort
that I feel like we all seek for
the beginning of fall.
>> What is that?
A jacket.
>> Damn, whip that up.
>> I still have to put pockets
on it.
>> Oh, it's so hot!
Oh, it's too hot.
>> Oh, okay. You're burning up?
>> It's too hot.
>> Okay. I just wanted to make
sure those sleeves were the
right length, so, okay.
>> It's beautiful.
>> Thank you, girl.
Next thing you know, I look
over, and low and behold,
Michael is making the same
jacket as me.
Where'd you get the inspiration
for that shape, Michael?
>> From you, I glanced over
your table and stole the idea
from you.
>> I'm sorry, what?
>> Where did you get your
inspiration?
>> Oh, I came in with it.
>> Oh, no, he didn't!
>> Dude, come on now.
You were making a mini-bolero
jacket, and then all of a sudden
it's the same silhouette.
Come on, like, uh-uh.
Falls kind of similar, but I
suppose one of us can belt it.
>> Yep. It's being belted as we
speak.
>> Fantastic.
>> All right, where's that bell,
girls?
Ding, ding!
>> I think that Michael was
feeling lost.
He doesn't do sportswear,
and he doesn't do winter.
I don't think it was
intentional, but, you know, it
happens.
>> I'm just saying.
>> Hello, designers.
>> Hi, Joanna.
>> I've heard about the fashion
face-off.
So let's start at the beginning
of the year.
>> Who's got spring?
>> Kara and I.
>> Kara and Austin. Okay.
>> Hi, Joanna.
>> Hi, Kara.
Tell me about spring.
>> The look I'm going for is a
very Palm Beach casual chic.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Mother of two kids, going
on a holiday.
I was going to go for a
high-waisted-type culotte pants.
>> High-waisted pants feel very
fashion forward in a good way,
I think.
If you can make great pants,
then you're already a step
ahead.
Austin!
Show me what you're doing.
>> So basically we're going with
sort of a high-waisted khaki
pants.
>> This feels like a very
American sportswear color to
me, right?
>> Yeah, and this floral print
shell that I want to maybe do
some sort of like flat origami
like ruffles cut on the bias.
>> So scalloping ruffles, okay.
>> Yeah.
>> I'm very excited to see who's
going to win, very excited.
Mondo.
>> Hello.
>> Summer.
>> Summer, yes.
>> Who is your girl?
What's the story?
>> It's a personal story.
And today is my mother's 60th
birthday.
>> You're not there.
>> Yeah, so this is my fantasy
of my girl representing me
going to her party.
>> Well, the biggest present for
her would be you, probably,
winning this challenge,
wouldn't it?
>> Yeah, mm-hmm. Yeah, totally.
>> So what's happening on top?
>> I'm doing this kind of polka
dot.
>> I was just looking over to
see if Kenley had polka dots,
'cause I always think of her
as being a polka dot queen.
>> She does have polka dots.
>> Oh, she does have polka dots?
>> She is the polka dot queen,
but I am the polka dot princess.
>> I think of classic when I
think of sportswear.
Here's my sketch.
It's going to be really simple.
I think a lot of girls would
love it.
>> Okay. The war of the polka
dots--I'm dying to know who's
going to win.
>> The war of the polka dots.
Did you hear that, Mondo?
We're in the war of the polka
dots.
>> So...full American
sportswear.
I'm looking at your sketch on
your HP pad.
>> It's a cape.
>> And Mila pants. I would know
know that these were
Mila pants wherever I was,
whoever was wearing them.
>> Oh, I love that. Thank you.
>> They really are your
signature piece.
>> I really respect her opinion.
I mean, she sees hundreds of
thousands of designs,
collections, throughout the
year.
I feel like I'm definitely on
the right track with my look.
>> This sweater and it's going
to go over a jersey knit top,
which is this color.
Similar to what you're
wearing.
>> Very on trend then, Rami.
>> Rami's look, to me, is really
hard to look at.
I feel like the colors are not
right together.
It's like too much volume.
>> This is my look that I'm
doing for winter.
>> Okay, do we have a sketch?
>> Yeah, I do.
It's here somewhere.
>> I'm just listening to see
what exactly Michael is going to
say right now.
"Please explain your
silhouette. Please!"
>> Where did the idea come from?
>> The jacket came from a muslin
that I was just playing with,
and I cut two circles in the
back to create the holes for
your arms to go through.
>> Okay.
>> And it kind of came together
itself.
>> Okay, so you're paired with
Jerell...
>> Jerell.
>> Who's also done a big coat
with leather detail.
>> With leather detail.
>> Okay.
>> I have.
>> Why are you looking like
that?
>> I would be lying if I said it
didn't bother me--the
similarities in our looks.
>> You've both got the cowl-neck
going on, and you've both got a
similar color palette.
Gather, gather, gather.
We're going to have a team
chat, which I like to have at
the magazine when tension
arises.
What do you all think about
this?
>> I know I did try that on like
five minutes into when we
started working.
>> I think the only issue is
that we saw yours first, and
then we saw yours like a while
later.
>> Right.
>> But if it is a competition
and you do see someone doing
something that you think is
better than your idea, is it
wrong to use that idea?
>> I think if you see a better
idea, then you have to push
yourself further.
>> In your direction.
>> In your direction.
>> It behooves the two of you to
do the best work you have ever
done on these things.
And may the best man win.
All right, thanks, guys.
>> I was actually pleased to see
Joanna invite everyone over to
see what people generally
thought.
It's really been brought to
everyone's attention.
So tomorrow, I think that the
judging shall be fair.
>> It's bothering me, because
Jerell is my friend.
But I'm seriously not going to
change what I'm doing.
And if he wants to say that I
copied his thing, I don't care.
>> Wait. It's 7:00? No.
Yep.
>> You've got to be kidding me.
>> No.
>> Oh, no.
Now it's time to start working
on the cape.
I've never made a cape before.
So this is like winging it for
me.
>> I really want everything to
be very neat, sharp, immaculate.
That, to me, is American
sportswear.
>> Why are the most beautiful
things always the most
difficult?
>> You want to go take a break
and eat?
>> Yeah.
I just think that whole thing
was so uncalled for.
>> So you feel like you're being
accused of something.
>> Yeah.
When you're doing good,
people just want to hate on
you, no matter what.
>> Just because you've won two
challenges, and you're doing
really well in the competition.
I mean, that's what I see, but I
can't speak for Jerell.
>> There's food here, right?
>> Yeah.
>> Honestly, do you think it's a
coincidence or--
>> I don't even know.
How are you boys doing?
>> Kind of feels just like
dinner at my family's house.
>> Spaghetti?
>> No.
>> Awkward?
>> Awkward.
>> Oh.
>> The tension.
>> I don't want there to be any
tension, like, I don't.
>> I don't want there to be any
tension either.
>> I just ask you to really
put yourself in my shoes.
As simple as it is or not, it's
a square with two holes.
I saw you see me do it.
Then you did it.
>> I do whatever comes to me
naturally.
>> I feel you, even if it's
looking to the left.
That's all I'm saying.
>> Let me tell you that I
literally took a piece of fabric
like this.
>> Well, clearly I know how it's
made.
I mean, I did it first.
>> It's I got to be
accused of plagiarism...
>> Listen to me.
>> This, that, blah-blah-blah.
>> Honestly--
>> Joanna gonna come in and say,
"oh, is there some form of
cheating, the way you work?"
It's.
>> You can keep your little
vest.
>> I'm going to wipe my
ass with the vest.
>> Clearly it's going to be an
interesting runway.
>> Clearly.
>> Coming up on Project Runway
All Stars...
>> I'm looking at Mila's design.
I'm seeing like bubbling on the
cape.
>> I'm definitely sweating it.
>> I think that there's a cozy
spot for him on the bottom.
>> Really, bitch?
>> It's the morning of the
runway, and I'm still working
on the cape.
I decided to add some black
leather binding to the seams,
just to give it that extra pop.
I can't afford for anything to
be subpar at this point, 'cause
I really have to beat Rami.
And this is like, I'm definitely
sweating it.
>> I'm wrapping up last minute
touches on my look.
I'm pairing a pair of earrings
and, uh, a handbag from the
Neiman Marcus accessory wall.
And I'm ready to see what's
going to happen.
You bugging?
>> Yeah, Mondo gave him those
boot options.
>> He's helping him?
>> Yeah, 'cause he wants to
serve it up with these damn
patent leather pumps.
>> How does it look?
>> Mm-mmm?
>> Mm-mmm.
>> I see a side of Jerell that I
haven't seen before.
A lot of little private
conversations going on.
Really, bitch?
You want to play like that?
We can play like that.
>> My model is standing by my
station waiting for her clothes,
and I'm still sewing the damn
red top.
>> Can you check, um, your hair
and makeup time?
>> For my model, I'm going for
a very sort of sexy chic.
So I'm at the L'Oreal hair
salon, asking the stylist to do
like a really big wave.
>> Could do cornrows from side
to side, in the part.
>> Whoo!
>> I really want to do a nod to
the '50s, so I'm going to give
her a very cute barrel curl bang
with a high ponytail.
Get some bangs, girl.
>> She needs a really, really
beautiful red lip, like this
color.
And a very small cat eye.
>> I need flawless skin.
>> Pink lips.
Oh, your eyebrows look good.
>> Maybe do a little bit, sort
of a daytime kind of makeup.
>> Perfect.
>> We've got five minutes, guys.
>> I'm looking at Mila's design.
I'm seeing like bubbling on the
cape.
It's off balance a little bit.
I personally prefer my look.
>> But I might just have it
open, 'cause I like the way it
looks open.
I have my early predictions for
all the seasons.
For fall, I like Mila's pants,
but I think it's Rami's for
sure, 'cause that top is
amazing.
Spring--it's like the oldest
chick from The Goldengirls, or
Money.
For summer, Mondo's got it,
because Kenley's is cute, but
really how many girls are really
wearing polka dots like that?
I mean, maybe Minnie Mouse.
>> My model was the best I've
seen her thus far.
And I think that I have this
one in the bag.
>> Okay, you guys.
We've got to go to the runway.
Let's go.
>> Coming up on Project Runway
All Stars...
>> I wish I had never seen that.
>> She looks like a bore.
>> This look didn't push any
creative boundaries.
>> These two looks are so
similar.
>> Hello, designers.
Hi.
>> This week you were designing
sportswear for a weekend
getaway, for one of the four
seasons.
Two of you had spring...
Two summer...
Two fall...
And two winter.
For each season there will be a
high score and a low score.
Let's meet the judges.
First, designer and co-founder
of Marchesa, Georgina Chapman.
>> Hi.
>> One of the most famous names
in fashion, Isaac Mizrahi.
>> How are you, kids?
>> And our guest judge has long
been a fashion and style
authority.
It's the award-winning designer
Cynthia Rowley.
So here we go.
Have a great show.
♪
>> I'm hoping the judges notice
that the look is very wearable,
classic...
And something that you could
actually go to a Neiman Marcus
store and see there.
>> I'm really hoping that the
judges notice a sort of really
simple chic aesthetic, and that
they can see that I have a
really strong color sensibility.
And I'm hoping that they can
really understand simple chic
elegance.
>> I really love the way she
looks.
She looks fresh, she looks
young, she looks like she could
go anywhere on a hot summer day.
>> I think that my mom would be
really proud of me, and that she
would be honored that this is my
gift to her for her 60th
birthday.
>> I love the design.
I hope that the judges notice my
attention to detail.
It's really beautiful suede.
The shoulders of my jacket,
which I think is very unique.
>> I love this look,
and I'm hoping the judges see
that I'm making a classic
American sportswear with my
modern twist, and that I'm doing
a silhouette that they haven't
seen before from anybody else--
a cape.
>> I couldn't be happier with my
look.
I love the way the cardigan
works with the boots and the
little cashmere hat.
A woman walking down the street
in this would have heads
turning.
She'd feel like a million bucks.
I'm really excited that this is
truly a face off and that both
girls are out at the same time,
because mine is better.
>> I feel really good.
I feel like this woman is
definitely going to stand out.
He made something that looks
like Moses would wear it.
I made something that looks like
Jackie Kennedy would wear it.
>> Let's start with the first
two seasons--spring and summer.
Fall and winter, you guys can
wait backstage.
Designers, let's bring out
your models.
>> Austin, Kara, you both had
spring.
One of you has a low score and
one of you has a high score.
Let's start with you, Austin.
Cynthia.
>> It's almost so, uh, dorky
it's cool, you know?
I think the way you did the
trousers high-waisted like that,
I think it makes it more modern.
>> You're attempting to do this
new khaki trouser that's more
high-waisted.
Tailored beautifully, I might
add, right?
To me, on that girl, it goes a
little moderate.
>> I just really wanted to do
something very American classic.
>> But somehow she looks a
little boring to me--she looks
like a bore.
I would never want to have lunch
with her and go into a garden
with her, sorry.
>> Yeah, I'm with you.
I can't see an everyday girl,
modern woman, in this.
I have to be honest.
>> There's something about this
girl that reminds me of a small
town going to church or
something.
We're going to move on to
Kara's spring look.
I think it's a very wearable
comfortable look.
I like the way the pants move
and fit.
>> To me, I just don't see
anything original about any of
these pieces at all.
>> I mean, we're packing for
a getaway.
I'm not necessarily being
avant-garde in Palm Beach.
I'm trying to be very put
together, like conservative
and chic.
>> I don't feel it.
Like gray, purple, and then
white pants.
It's like, really?
Unless you're just really
running out to the store.
>> I think the fabric choices
are good actually.
And a lot of women do want to
look like that.
I think that's a nice look.
I wouldn't mind looking like
that.
>> I agree, and between these
two looks, it was very, very
close.
Ultimately, Kara, you had the
high score and Austin, you had
the low score.
Mondo and Kenley, you both had
summer.
Let's start with you, Kenley.
>> I really like this.
I think it's really simple and
chic.
And I love that there's no
accessories except the little
orange bootee.
>> I like this too, a lot.
>> Thanks.
>> I like that it's one piece.
It's great.
>> Thank you.
>> I think the only criticism I
would really have is, if you're
going to use a polka dot, it's
just line it up a little bit
better in the short, because
that's throwing my eye just
slightly.
>> I would love to wear this
outfit.
>> Thanks.
>> So Mondo, you also had
summer.
>> I'm a little confused,
because the hair's very '50s,
the earrings look '50s.
The top looks kind of--
I'm not sure.
The bracelets are kind of '80s.
There's a lot of different
directions.
Could I see the back?
Oh, boy.
>> Maybe because of the
textiles, it goes a little like
junior or something.
>> The print on your short that
you used last week was so
flattering.
And I think this week, the
short's not quite as flattering.
>> I really struggled this week,
'cause I--I mean, the idea of
sportswear, for me--I felt like
I had to do stuff that's like
you guys have been saying, and I
started over like three times.
I know I don't want to make
excuses, but--
>> It's very Desperately Seeking
Susan, it's very '80s that top,
isn't it?
I get '80s.
>> Do you?
>> And those pockets.
>> So much chicer without them.
>> The bag just takes it
somewhere that's so weird.
>> So let's recap.
Kenley, you have the high score.
Mondo, you have the low score.
You guys can all leave the
runway, and we're going to bring
back fall and winter.
Thank you.
They hated it.
It just sucks when it's a
personal story, you know?
>> No, I understand.
>> And they dog you.
That was embarrassing.
This was supposed to be like a
gift to my mother.
>> You didn't up on
anything.
Hey, listen, they said they
would never have lunch with
Austin's girl.
>> Mila and Rami, you both had
fall.
Rami, is it something that you
can wear open as well as closed?
>> Yes, it can definitely be
worn loose...
And just opens like this.
>> Can we see the back?
'Cause I remember it looked very
beautifully cut in the back.
That's absolutely gorgeous.
I love the way the back hangs
without it being belted.
>> I wish you'd get rid of the
green in the blouse.
And then also there's something
sloppy about what's happening on
the neckline of the top.
Looked like too much drapery
around the neck.
>> Right.
>> The thing also about that top
is that diagonal line kind of
makes it look like she's
lopsided a little bit.
Because there's shearing all
along that line, she's a little
uneven.
>> Okay, let's move on to Mila.
>> I like the pop of red.
You know, I don't think perhaps
it's the most exciting, but I
see your vision in there, and I
see you as a designer in it.
>> I really like a cape.
I think with a cape it's
important that it's a functional
cape, that you can still move
around.
>> I like the geometry of it.
I like the like even slivers of
red.
It's chic and wearable.
I like it.
>> So out of the autumn, Mila,
you have the high score, and
Rami, you have the low score.
And finally we have Jerell and
Michael with their winter looks.
>> These two looks are so
similar.
How did that come about?
>> Well, I wanted to show you
guys separates.
So right away, right after Mood,
I went straight in, started
working on my coat.
I guess Michael kind of
experimented with a couple
things, changing a couple of
ideas.
And maybe a couple hours in, I
look over and I guess we got
struck by the same creative bug.
>> Did you notice that in the
workroom as well?
>> No, in the beginning,
I didn't notice.
I do know that Jerell was
starting his coat in the
beginning.
And he moved straight to fashion
fabric like really, really
quick.
And I didn't notice that he did
have what he was working with
until I cut my thing up.
>> Um, Jerell, I like the way
that we've taken your Bohemian
aspect and your tribal aspect,
and you've brought it to a full
look.
>> Thank you.
>> I think the coat's gorgeous.
I wish the buttons didn't appear
on that cardigan.
The buttons on the coat bother
me a lot too, 'cause what if she
really did want to close the
coat?
>> She can close the coat.
>> Could she?
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, right, yeah.
>> Oh, nice.
I love the hat, the hair,
the sleeve length.
The little leather trim,
I think, is great.
And it looks true to your
style too.
>> Thank you very much.
>> Michael.
>> The belt is so beautiful--
I mean, she's resolved.
I find those leggings, with
those shoes, nasty.
If you just could have put her
in a boot, I would have liked it
so much, do you know?
>> Mm-hmm.
>> I'm sorry it throws me, but
really, congratulations.
I think it's a great look.
>> Thank you.
>> It's more of like an ensemble
to me, you know, than like--
it's almost like she's her mom
or something.
Or she's like definitely a
little bit older looking than
this girl.
>> It's really--it's very, very
polished.
She's very sophisticated.
>> Well, it's clear that we all
like your look, but there is one
high score and one low score.
And Jerell has the high score.
And yours is the low score.
>> Okay.
>> Thank you, designers.
We're going to have our
discussion, and we'll call you
guys back to the runway.
>> Thank you.
>> Let's talk about our high
scores.
>> I liked Kenley.
I just thought it seemed
confident, and it was just one
piece with a lot of impact.
>> I like that look.
Kenley's woman would turn my
head.
>> Hers just stood out a little,
because everybody else is like,
"sportswear--we need to do
this."
Well, she stuck to who she was.
But having said that, we have
seen this look quite a lot, and
I would like to see it be
changed up a little bit more.
>> I agree.
I agree about Kenley.
>> I find Mila's look boring.
>> I do think, though, it seemed
chic and wearable.
I-I like it.
>> My problem with it was the
fabric.
I didn't think the fabric looked
expensive at all.
And I get that they're on a
budget, but, I mean, that's part
of being an all star, taking
something inexpensive and making
it look wonderful.
>> That's true.
The thing that bothered me were
the jeans.
If you're going to go for that
Helmut Lang jean, you've got
to get tight, and you've got to
get the zippers exaggerated.
And they were a little
apologetic for what they are.
>> I loved Jerell's look.
>> Jerell's was a great look.
You know, that coat was
fabulous.
>> That whole look looked sort
of anthropologie, which is not
a bad reference.
>> I guess I like that look.
>> But I don't like his sense of
buttons--those giant ones on
the coat looked a little jokey
to me.
>> Jerell's was like kind of
earthy hippie, but it worked
for that whole mood, you know?
>> Let's talk about Kara.
>> It's a perfectly okay look.
And--but I didn't think it was
anything more than that.
>> I get very annoyed when
there's absolutely no style at
all.
>> Well, and she kind of snuck
her way into the high score,
just because Austin went a
little nutso this time.
So let's talk about our low
scores.
>> Okay.
>> Austin.
>> Those pants, to me, were the
best thing in the show today.
It just was the rest of it that
was so bad.
Like, you put those with some
really good other pieces and
accessories as sportswear, you
would love those pants.
>> Okay, I agree--he knows how
to do some things well, but he
doesn't know how to put things
together.
>> To me his intent here was
like completely different than
what we would think was cool.
You know what I mean?
>> I definitely don't think
this is Mondo's best look.
>> I didn't like the...
choice of fabric.
I didn't like the proportions
really.
I hated the accessories.
And I thought it seemed
ill-fitting and sort of not well
made.
>> It's a good look.
It's just not quite as brilliant
as last week, but it is a very
good look.
>> Rami's look just makes me
kind of ill--those colors.
I don't know why he would have
chose those.
>> That jacket was beautifully
cut on the shoulders.
>> Yeah, and the green just took
everything away.
>> I didn't like it.
>> In comparison to the rest of
the look the jacket looked good.
>> It looked like a draping
project to me.
>> The top underneath, I wish
I had never seen that.
>> Me too.
>> What did you think of
Michael?
>> Well--
>> there was apparently a lot of
drama that was happening.
>> I have to say, the design is
not his strongest thing.
It's the execution of a design.
But he goes, "oh, what if I were
to look exactly like something
else today?"
>> And remember the heels with
the leggings, guys.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> But I think his proportion
is good.
>> Yeah, proportion, execution--
but I just don't know if he
copied that coat.
>> Also he seems much more
insecure, and Jerell seems so
sure of himself.
>> I feel, with Michael, if he
was to do a collection, I don't
know what we would get...
>> Me either.
>> At all.
>> Me either.
>> So, have we made our
decision?
>> Reluctantly.
>> Okay, let's bring the
designers back out.
>> Designers.
One of you has been voted this
week's winner...
And one of you will be
eliminated.
>> Designers.
One of you has been voted this
week's winner, and one of you
will be eliminated.
Mila, Kara, you're safe.
You can leave the runway.
Jerell.
Congratulations.
You are the winner of this
challenge.
That means you're through to
next week, and one step closer
to the grand prize.
>> Totally cool.
Thank you guys so much.
>> Jerell, you can leave the
runway.
>> Thank you. Good luck.
Good luck, everybody.
It feels fantastic to be the
winner in this challenge.
I won.
I definitely think my look was
ambitious.
I think my pieces were pulled
off beautifully.
And with the doppelganger on the
runway, I'm happy the judges
were able to see the real McCoy.
>> Kenley, we all loved your
design too.
>> Thanks.
>> Congratulations, you can
also leave the runway.
>> Thank you.
Michael, Mondo. You are
safe, and you can leave the
runway.
>> Thank you.
>> Thank you.
>> Good luck, guys.
One of you will be in and one of
you will be out.
Rami, your neckline had way
too much bulk and needed to be
simplified.
And the shirt looked like a
mistake that you tried to cover
up.
Austin, the tailoring in
your trousers was impeccable.
But this look didn't push any
creative boundaries.
And the styling missed the
mark again.
Rami...
...you're out.
Austin, you are safe.
You can leave the runway.
>> Thank you.
>> Congratulations.
Rami, thank you so much for
being part of All Stars.
>> Thanks for having me.
>> You're such a talented
designer and we really...
>> Thank you.
>> Wish you all the best.
>> Thank you very much.
>> Hear, hear.
>> Good luck.
>> Thank you.
This was my first time on the
bottom and I happened to be
eliminated.
Life goes on.
The universe will take care of
me in its own way.
Hi.
>> Oh, Rami, I'm so sorry.
>> It's okay.
It's impossible for everyone in
the world to like everything
that you do.
And I'm okay with that,
because I realize that's just
the way life is.
>> Beautiful.
>> That jacket was gorgeous.
>> Congratulations.
>> Amazing.
>> All Stars had given me the
exposure that I needed to kick
off what's to come next.
So it was definitely a great
platform to showcase some of my
work, and I'm grateful for that.
>> Next on Project Runway
All Stars...
This week we're on Broadway.
Whoo!
>> It's a world of illusion, a
world of fantasy, and all those
things excite me.
>> Dude!
>> It's like crazy between Kara
and Kenley.
>> Don't look stuck.
You can do it.
>> It's so hard being here.
>> You've just got to push
yourself.
You want to fall flat on your
face.
>> That is a very Kenley print.
>> It looked like an extra from
Boogie Nights.
>> Broadway!
>> I'm not really understanding
who this girl is.
>> She looks like she uses
drugs.
>> This almost reminds me of the
Chiquita banana woman.
>> It's like she doesn't live in
the East Village, she lives in a
doorway in the East Village.
