We want you to create a
flamboyant cocktail dress
for one of the most famous
fashionistas in the world...
Miss Piggy.
[Laughter]
>> She's like fashion's dream
client.
>> The pressure is on.
>> I'm going to get to design a
dress for a Muppet.
>> Do you think I can sex up
Miss Piggy?
>> It's tacky.
>> I'm getting a bit of a
nightgown vibe from this.
>> If it comes to evening wear,
I'm going to give you a [bleep]
showstopper.
>> How does a pig feel about
wearing a giraffe print?
>> Oh, my gosh.

thing I have ever seen.
I love it!

slightly more sophisticated

Kermie.

>> I'm so thrilled.
[Laughs]

Project Runway All Stars 1x04 Good Taste Tastes Good Original Air Date on January 26, 2012

>> Congratulations, Michael.
[Cheers and applause]
>> Winning last week's challenge
does not not give me confidence
that I will always be in the top
or, you know, always be safe.
>> You were excited to win, I
heard you were jumping up and
down.
>> I was, I jump up and down
every time I win.
>> He tried to do the splits.
>> I know that the pressure's on
me to deliver something, like,
amazing again.
I think I'm really feeling that.
>> Let's go.

♪
>> You are four challenges in
and we have ten designers
remaining in the competition.
>> The competition is getting
very competitive.
This is Project Runway All Stars
and everybody is so good here.
>> This week's challenge is all
about taste.
Good taste comes in many forms,
but it has to start somewhere.
Why not be inspired by taste
itself?
Your challenge is to create a
tasteful outfit inspired by the
colors and flavors of a
seriously tasty dessert,
gelato.
Please welcome l'arte del
gelato.
[Applause]
>> A gelato-slinging cherub--
what's this all about?
>> You'll each pick a flavor and
you'll also receive a swatch for
color reference.
>> Some of the flavors are
written in a way that I don't
really know what--what it's
gonna taste like or look like.
Fruits of the forest?
You know, I don't know what that
is.
>> Michael, you won last week's
Miss Piggy challenge, so you get
to go first.
>> Great.
I knew I wanted grapefruit.
>> [Laughs]
>> Bam.
I was really hoping for
something more of, like, a Ruby
red color grapefruit.
But I thought this color was
just really beautiful also.
>> Michael gets to pick
who goes next.
I know how this cookie's about
to crumble.
>> Mondo.
>> I'm going to have my
cantaloupe and eat it too.
I'm going to choose Mila.
>> [Squeaks]
I choose milk and sour cherries.
This is, like, milky white and
red, two colors that I love
together.
I choose April.
>> Yay.
I did kind of hope that nobody
would take blueberry.
>> Fruit of the forest is still
available.
That fabric swatch was, like,
this kind of yummy deep red
color.
>> I'm just really happy that
passion fruit is still left.
>> Vanilla Madagascar.
>> I choose green tea.
>> My eye is on kiwi from
the beginning.
>> Well, go grab it, Kara.
It's yours.
>> [Laughter]
>> I'm kind of [bleep],
you know?
I got my chocolate with cayenne
pepper, you know.
I really did feel like the kid
in the park that their little
cone dropped.
You know, and their little ice
cream fell off.
>> Our guest judge this week is
here to tell you more about your
challenge.
Please welcome one of the most
famous women in fashion.
She's the President of the
Council of Fashion Designers of
America.
>> [Gasps] Oh, my God.
>> Diane Von Furstenberg.
[Cheers and applause]
>> Oh, my God, this is so
exciting.
>> Hi.
>> Michael, he's, like,
hyperventilating.
He's, like, practically crying.
>> Hi, everybody.
>> Diane Von Furstenberg is a
very big deal.
>> Welcome to the show.
>> Thank you.
>> She is the queen of
international ready-to-wear
fashion.
>> Well, designers, you do not
have much time for this
challenge.
This is the fastest in Project
Runway history.
>> You only have six hours.
>> From pattern construction to
cutting to fitting to
alterations to finishing the
garment.
>> I have six hours to show her
my best work?
>> So it's all about how quickly
you can realize something,
and how you were inspired by it.
Just go for it.
Thank you and good luck.
>> Thank you.
>> We'll be back here for this
week's runway in just six hours'
time.
>> What the [bleep] am I going
to make in six hours?
[Electronic music]
♪
>> It's sketch time.
In a roundabout way, I kind of
know what I want to do.
I want to do this oversized,
like, silky drape dress with
ruched sleeves to make it look
gorgeous.
>> Diane Von Furstenberg is
going to be judging and I cannot
disappoint that woman.
It's got to be right.
>> I'm not going to try anything
new or take major risks,
because I really just need to
get something done.
>> Mini Mood is set up in our
designer lounge.
>> Oh, my God!
>> There's tons of fabric.
>> I already have this design in
my head.
I need black jersey.
And this Mood doesn't have black
jersey.
So I'm screwed.
I have to start a new idea over,
and I have to start a new idea
quickly, because I don't have
any time.
>> Five minutes, everyone.
That includes you, Mondo.
>> Definitely want to work with
colors.
I definitely have to include the
chocolate.
But it's not about the
chocolate, it's really about
the flavor.
Chocolate-y, a little spicy,
and then it's this furnace fire.
Guys, time's up.
>> Are you serious?
I don't get to buy as much
fabric as I want.
It's my own fault.
I should have time-managed my
experience in mini Mood.
Oh, no.
Shucks.
[Ripping fabric]
>> We have six hours and I'm
just dying.
>> I think maybe I could make a
pair of leggings in six hours,
but a whole entire outfit?
>> I know the whole entire room
is stressing and wondering what
are they going to do.
To me, it's not a big deal.
>> I have clients who need things
done in, like, 45 minutes to
an hour.
Just got to deliver.
>> It's pretty, and I know where
you're going to go with that.
And I expect you to have another
"ta-da" moment.
>> The voila.
>> Voila.
>> The six-way stretch choir
robe with two seams?
Yeah, I know.
So easy a chimpanzee could do
it.
>> Kara?
>> Yeah, yeah?
>> Are you feeling Madagascar?
>> It feels like the beach.
>> Yeah, it feels like the
beach, it feels slightly tribal
and African, but it still has a
little glitz.
>> I get my little color story
together.
Kind of seeing my dress come
together in my head.
I've got to make sure that it's
a color palette that is chic,
sophisticated, and reads well.
>> Well, why not do, like, a
Willy Wonka thing?
When the girl eats the candy
that gives her--you know,
"Violet's turning Violet."
>> I think April, she's just
gonna need to soften it up,
or play more with colors.
And it's got to just be a little
bit more versatile.
>> I figured out how to do this
on the last challenge, so I'm
hoping it continues to work.
>> [Laughs]
What are you laughing at?
Everyone is really just going
completely crazy.
>> [Laughs] This is crazy.
>> Like horrified, "I'm going to
die."
[Mock weeping]
Like you have a gun at your
head.
>> She works wonders with black
and white fabric.
So to see her do her take with
the sour cherry and the milk,
it's extremely refreshing.
>> I do want the world to see
that I don't only work in black
and white, but also that there
is a softer side to my design
aesthetic.
>> It's coming together really
well until...
I laid the fabric on the floor.
And I don't know how, but
some way, it's about 8 1/2
inches shorter on one side.
I measured wrong.
>> This skirt didn't have a
pattern, so I'm thinking, you
know, "what?"
Like, this is such a "make it
work" moment.
And I'm sewing, and I'm sewing,
and I'm sewing and running,
and cutting and running.
I literally have sewed as if
this was the last thing I was
going to sew in my life.
[Laughs]
>> Now my bobbin totally doesn't
work.
>> Ooh, [bleep], the white woman
is flipping out back there.
>> Normally a fashion designer
would never be in the
predicament of having to create
something in six hours.
>> Damn, I wish I had a
cocktail right now.
>> I have never in my life tried
to power through a dress
so quickly.
You don't want Diane to be
disappointed.
>> I don't know if I'm going to
be able to pull it off, to be
honest.
[Bleep]
>> Coming up on Project Runway
All Stars...
>> How can you have a fashion
moment if you're staying with
what you're comfortable with?
>> That is your dream in a hot
glue stick.
>> I--I'm like, ashamed.
>> You're sucking up to Diane
Von Furstenberg.
>> This week's challenge is to
create a look inspired by a
flavor of gelato.
>> We only have six hours for
the challenge.
>> Hi, designers.
>> Hi, Joanna.
>> Don't stop working.
I know this is the fastest
challenge in Project Runway
history.
I've bought you all a little
snackeroo to keep you sugared
up.
And this is the chocolate and
cayenne, who has the choc--okay,
I'm coming to you first, Kara.
>> My whole thing isn't actually
in the workroom.
>> Okay.
>> My key focus is really to
create this silhouette that,
like, embodies this flavor.
And so I've done numerous layers
that go from neutral into, like,
a fiery red.
>> Oh, right.
I mean, you were under pressure
a bit last week time-wise.
>> Yes, yes.
>> This week, you think you've
got it nailed?
>> I think so.
>> Good.
April.
>> Hi, Joanna, how are you?
>> Hi, refreshment.
>> Thank you, I appreciate it.
>> Little boost.
You're working with blueberries,
right?
Okay, so you've been working
under tremendous pressure of
deadline.
What are the tricks of the
trade?
>> I think you really have to
stick with what you're
comfortable with.
>> How can you have a fashion
moment if you're staying with
what you're comfortable with?
>> Well, I am working in color.
>> Two thoughts: You say you're
working with color.
Here's the color and then you've
covered the color up.
Now what about this?
None of this is finished.
It's just clean-cut, right?
>> No, no.
>> I definitely see an issue
with the hem.
It was short on one side where
you could see the lining and
longer on the other side.
>> All right, good luck.
Cantaloupe gelato to keep going.
>> Thank you so much.
>> Okay, so I want to ask you
something that readers ask me
all the time.
How on earth do you accessorize?
Because the minute you put this
black belt on, it changes
the shape of the dress.
Also it sort of pulls it
together.
>> With this one, you can make
it more fun or you can make it
more elegant.
>> So this is going to be like
this, right?
>> Yes, yes, ma'am.
>> Okay, 'cause this would also
make it suitable for evening
too, wouldn't it?
>> Right, for evening, you can
put it with a gold pump or
anything to go with your belt.
It's ready to go.
>> Well, I can't wait to see the
finished object. Good luck.
>> All right, thank you so much.
>> How are you going to speak to
Diane Von Furstenberg's request
that you make this as creative
as possible?
>> I think this is very creative
given the time restraints.
And also I maintained style as
well as taste.
>> Course it would be vanilla
with Madagascar for you.
>> Well...
>> What is the Madagascar bit?
>> I was thinking of doing this
whole blouson drapery.
>> Don't channel the wedding
thing, channel the fabulousness.
>> The flavor's kiwi.
It's going to be a wrap skirt.
>> If you're doing a wrap skirt,
doesn't that mean you're sucking
up to Diane Von Furstenberg,
queen of the wrap dress?
>> No, because it's not really--
honestly, the--the wrap is
pretty much only because of,
uh, the time constraints.
>> Tell me about your flavor.
>> It is milk and sour cherries.
>> So this is a pretty literal
interpretation.
>> I do not like what Mila has
designed.
It looked like a color-blocked
Christmas ornament disaster.
>> So remember, remember,
remember this week's challenge.
Fabulousness, extravagance.
Show us how creative you are.
>> Okay.
>> Now what is this shade of
pink?
>> Grapefruit.
>> Okay, now I have to tell you,
and this may come as no
surprise, that you are the envy
of every designer in this room
because you work so fast.
What is your secret?
>> Just literally been sewing
since I was probably about ten
years old.
>> I mean, are you gluing
instead of--
>> Nothing's glued.
>> Make sure it stands out.
>> Stands out, huh?
>> When you've got a paler
color, sometimes, it's harder.
All right, good luck.
>> Thank you.
>> Okay, designers, I'm off.
Remember, the clock is ticking.
You've got very little time
left.
Your models are on their way.
And I will see you soon.
>> Thank you.
>> Bye.

>> The first time we've ever got
six hours.
>> Why six hours?
>> Six hours?
>> This has nothing to do with
being a talented designer.
This has something to do with
being a fast seamstress.
>> After Joanna leaves, I have a
ton of work to do.
I mean, you can't just glue
stick [bleep] together.
>> That is liquid thread
on that dress.
>> This is liquid imagination.
I'm, like, ashamed to even admit
it, but I actually used a glue
gun.
>> That is your dream in a hot
glue stick.
>> That print was perfect.
It's very vibrant.
And it's very me.
>> Kelly is, like, a simple
dress.
I don't get passion fruit from
that at all.
>> Finish the neck.
I'm happy with the way the
design's coming out with the
blouse.
I just need the time to finish
it.
>> I feel like Rami's look is of
questionable taste.
It looks really garish, like a
lime explosion.
[Fabric ripping]
>> I'm really trying to send
something down the runway that
is unexpected from me.
>> I love Mondo's caftan.
But it is a caftan.
It's a dress that I designed
when I was in college.
>> My model comes in.
The dress does not fit her.
I have to add two triangle
panels to the back.
I realize that I don't have
enough fabric to make the dress
longer.
>> All right, get out.
We need to--I need to get back
to work.
>> Mwah, thank you for all your
help.
[Rock music]
♪
Only reason that I ain't
flipping out, y'all--
that don't get your garment
finished.
Only thing that I've had to
change is my skirt.
I'm going from a more pencil
design to a more flirty,
Fuller-moving skirt.
>> I like this though.
>> This is really sheer still.
With two layers, I thought it
would be enough, but you're
going to be able to see all the
parts.
Middle.
I feel like half the designers
are completely done with theirs
and the other half are still
running around like chickens
with their heads cut off.
>> Oh, sorry, I just need--
>> At that point, I really
didn't think it would accomplish
anything to sort of get into
some altercation, because we're
all frantic.
>> Thank you.
>> I gave her the look of death.
>> There's three hours left,
and this competition could
change my life.
And I'm [bleep] fighting
for that [bleep].
>> Coming up on
Project Runway All Stars...
>> I don't have time to do the
zipper, and I sew my model
into it.
All is fair in love and fashion.
>> Oh, man, these proportions
are a little off.
>> We all have just, like, two
hours to finish up our outfits.
We're all frantic.
It's definitely one of the most
stressful challenges thus far.
>> The last two hours of the
workroom, I'm really just
delirious and kind of just
winging it.
>> There's absolutely not a
second to waste on the "woulda,
coulda, shouldas," but just
what I can do with what I have
access to.
>> Diane Von Furstenberg will be
our judge.
>> No way.
>> Yeah.
>> My model came in, and I fit
her, and it was perfect.
By now, I'm pretty familiar with
her body, so it's pretty easy
for me to get it right on.
>> I'm particularly impressed
with Mondo's cantaloupe.
I think that it really does
embody the feel of cantaloupe,
but in a very kind of modern,
abstract way.
Abstract way. But it's so cantaloupe.
Accessories.
I usually make my own.
But I think I'm going to use the
Neiman Marcus wall this time
around.
I like this bangle.
>> They had a lot of cute stuff
today.
>> This is a ten...
Which I'm excited about.
Perfect.
>> We all want the best
accessories.
I do love these.
Yeah, those are definitely the
way to go.
>> Cool.
>> One hour!
>> I have to send my model now
to the L'Oreal hair and makeup
team.
I just want, like, a very chic
chignon kind of thing in the
back.
>> I want to do, like, a really
messy bun.
It's kind of a shabby chic look.
>> I want, like, it to be
a braid that goes like this
into, like, a sloppy bun.
>> Cool.
>> Yes.
>> So you like glossy?
>> I'd like a black-red lip,
very fresh, very youthful.
>> I just want a, like, a really
clean, fresh face.
>> Vanilla Madagascar.
Like, rich lady on resort.
Because how short the dress is.
I should have gotten more
fabric.
It's just crazy.
>> Oh, man, these proportions
are a little off for me.
>> I tell you, her model is a
rail, and she had her look like
a pregnant cupcake.
That's not the business.
>> Guys, you have ten minutes.
Zipper, and I sew my model
into it.
All is fair in love and fashion.
>> The last two minutes in the
workroom, I just want to do
the runway and just be done
with this one.
>> The bottom is not completely
symmetrical.
It's just not fitting the way it
should.
I can only do so much, and then
it's really out of my hands.
>> Guys, it's time to go to
the runway.
>> Let's go.
>> All right.
>> Coming up on
Project Runway All Stars...
>> It's just all over the place.
>> There was no passion in this
dress.
>> It's just not flattering.
>> You know you've missed.
>> Welcome back to the runway.
Seems like I just saw you a few
hours ago.
[Laughter]
As it's been said, on Project
Runway, one day you're in and
the next you're out.
Tonight, one of you will be
going home.
This week's challenge was
the fastest in Project Runway
history.
You only had six hours to design
a look inspired by the gelato
flavor you chose.
Let's meet the judges.
First we have designer and
co-founder of Marchesa,
Georgina Chapman.
>> Hi.
All: Hi.
>> Next we have one of the most
famous names in fashion...
Isaac Mizrahi.
>> Hi, kids.
>> And we have the first of two
guest judges.
She's one of the most respected
names in fashion, the iconic
Diane Von Furstenberg.
>> Hi.
[Applause]
>> And last but not least,
one of the hottest models in the
business, Australian supermodel
Miranda Kerr.
>> Hi, guys.
[Applause]
>> And Miranda will wear the
winning designer's look to an
industry event.
>> Having Miranda Kerr wear your
look is great publicity.
>> Good luck and have a great
show.
[Up-tempo dance music]
♪
>> My mouth waters for a slice
of cantaloupe.
This is this drape-y kimono.
And I think the judges will
recognize that I am going
outside my own box.
She looks like a dream realized.
When Diane Von Furstenberg
really likes something, she
looks at the designer and kind
of winks at them.
Diane does not wink at me.
She's got this really vibrant
glow about her.
I'm hoping the judges notice
it's very cute, flirty.
And that's who my clients are.
To see my design.
Because you don't have time to,
like, sit and look back.
And that was my moment.
And she looked like a rich,
beautiful girl going out to
lunch with her girlfriends.
And so I'm happy with the way it
looks.
Gorgeous, and easy breezy.
I'm very tasteful, so I think
I've got this one covered.
Fantastic, I think that it's
something that's super relatable
to my client.
And I think that it's something
that Diane Von Furstenberg just
gave me a thumbs up for.
The colors are just gorgeous.
Isaac and Diane are definitely
reacting to this.
And I'm thinking, "I get it, of
course they get it."
You want to lick this dress
because you get it.
I felt like that is liquid
gelato moving on the runway.
And she looks gorgeous.
She looks flawless, effortless,
exactly how I wanted her to
look.
The color of blueberry.
And I really like this
silhouette.
I think it's dark and it works.
I like the look.
I wish the skirt was longer.
I hope the judges just realize
that we only had six hours for
this.
Are my signature.
I want to be able to show that.
That's why I'm here on the
runway is to showcase who I am
as a designer.
Name, please step forward.
Austin.
Rami.
Jerell.
Kenley.
Congratulations, you guys are
safe.
Your designs will keep you in
the competition.
Well done.
You can leave the runway.
>> Thank you.
>> Designers, let's bring out
your models.
[Suspenseful music]
♪
Kara...
>> Hi.
>> You had chocolate and cayenne
pepper gelato.
Can you tell us about your
inspiration and your design for
your dress?
>> I felt like it was layers
upon layers of flavor.
And I tried to bring all the
colors and the experiences that
I felt into this dress.
And right at the end, I had this
pop of cayenne pepper which, for
me, was like this red.
>> You're so passionate when you
talk, and I just--I couldn't
quite get the passion in the
dress.
I think the colors are letting
you down slightly.
>> You did a beautiful job to
explain your inspiration.
That moved me.
But the dress itself doesn't.
>> I like the fact that you said
it has all the different layers.
The only thing that I found,
personally, was that I'm not so
much a fan of ruffles.
>> The dress is very cute.
I think the explanation is
wonderful.
But it's just not flattering.
And it's not just from the side.
>> Actually, the back detail, if
we could see it, is really
sweet.
I like that, felt very summery.
Yet when you're getting the side
profile, she's looking like
she's hiding a bump.
>> I also wrote down "pregnant."
>> And the minute the word
"pregnant" comes up, you know
you've--you've missed.
>> Anthony, you had green tea
gelato.
>> Watching my gelato melt in my
hands on top of my cone kind of
served as the primary
inspiration for my look.
>> Before you explained your
inspiration of ice cream
melting, I liked the dress much
less.
>> I like that you took a
creative approach to your
design.
But I think you went a little
too conceptual.
Instead of coming across as
amazing, it got a little bit
messy.
>> I love the skirt.
And I love the concept.
You could see it, it's darker
and then it melts.
Turn around?
>> Maybe if you'd lost the back
panels, you would have had a
more flattering silhouette.
>> I definitely agree.
Like, a little more simplicity
in the back would've been great.
>> Mila, milk with sour cherry
gelato.
>> Just wanted to create
something that evoked that--
the milkiness and the color of
milk versus the stark color of
a cherry.
>> I think this says cherry ice
cream so much, so clearly.
>> Wow.
>> I agree with you, Isaac.
I really like this dress as
well.
I think it was a very creative
approach with the lines and the
layers, and I like the way that
that came across.
>> It's beautiful and the design
is nice.
But it kind of looks like it was
done in little time.
That was my problem.
>> I think it was a very
ambitious dress, given the time,
with all that seaming which
you've done very well.
So I really congratulate you on
that.
And I think all that lightness
of summer that I'm getting from
your design is rather distracted
for me by the weight of
everything you've added to it.
>> I think that this is a dress
that looks like it's easy to
wear, and I like that,
'cause I like things that I can
just throw on and...
You know, you don't have to
think too much about it.
I really liked it.
I like the color choice, and I
think that it flows well when
she was walking.
>> Thank you.
>> Michael, grapefruit gelato.
>> I really wanted to do
something that I know I could
finish.
I wanted to do something
beautiful, because, I have to
tell you, Diane, you're, like,
one of my really big idols.
>> I love the dress.
I think it's a great dress.
I'm not mad about the color.
Grapefruit can be very pale and
smooth, but there is a tartness
to it that I think is missing.
>> My concern, again, was the
color, but if you say that was
the color of the ice cream--
I just wasn't getting
grapefruit.
I'm getting more like a nude-y
tone.
>> I think it's beautiful,
I think it's beautifully draped,
I think it's very fluid.
Turn around.
Yeah.
Michael, you got to call me
after this show.
[Laughter]
>> April, you had blueberry
gelato.
>> I wanted to create something
that was light, like the taste
of the gelato.
It wasn't very strong, but it
had these bits that you would
bite into and taste the
blueberry.
>> Is it black over a purple?
Is that what I'm seeing?
>> It's a dark purple over this
bright purple.
>> You see, that gives a really
nice read on the eye.
I just think you were too
ambitious, doing this corset.
Because my eye is just going
straight there, and it's just
all over the place.
>> When she first came out, she
made a big impact, I thought.
The length is right.
>> Turn around.
>> The color is great.
Well, that, of course, I was
going to get to.
The back is--the back is really
scary.
The back is scary and the belt
is scary, right?
>> Yeah.
>> And the earrings are scary.
>> The effect of the two
fabrics, that was very nice.
But then it went from being very
nice to a little bit Halloween
spider thing.
It just didn't look like it was
a finished product.
>> You have very interesting
ideas.
But sometimes in the
translation, I find it's not
coming through clearly.
>> Just--let's see what it looks
like without the belt.
>> It's funny, 'cause I usually
don't style a lot.
>> Look how much better that is.
>> So much better.
>> It definitely does look
better without the belt.
>> So, Mondo.
>> Hi.
>> You had cantaloupe.
>> This would be like the rind.
This is like the green.
It's like my loose
interpretation of the actual
cantaloupe.
>> I think it's great, because
I think it does look like a
cantaloupe.
Turn around.
>> I love it that it's teamed
with flats.
And the back is absolutely to
die for.
Kind of adds a little sexiness
to it.
>> You know, it's funny, because
I'm looking at these colors and
these fabrics, and I'm like,
they shouldn't go together.
Yet somehow, it does work.
>> I love a caftan.
And I think that sometimes, with
a caftan, you can--they can not
flatter your figure.
I think this caftan really
flatters the figure.
The only thing I didn't really
love about it is the bright
color orange, which you went for
that in the taste, and I applaud
you for that.
I think it's great.
>> I wish there was more of her
body on immediate impact.
When she turns around, it kind
of saves the thing.
>> Well, that was clearly a lot
of work, designers.
Well done.
We're now going to deliberate,
and we'll call you back.
You can leave the runway.
Thank you.
Low scores.
Let's talk about our low scores.
Let's start with Anthony.
>> The ambition was so big to
do, a beautiful balenciaga with
the whole thing.
And when you do something like
that, you know, it's got to be
perfect.
Otherwise it looks amateur.
>> If the skirt had been in the
same color, I don't think we
would have gone to the waist as
much.
I think it would have been a
more complete look.
>> I think Kara designs sweet
clothing, and I think she was
very stuck on this.
She chose the chocolate cayenne
swatch and she just could not
get her mind out of it.
And I think that her
interpretation was great when
she said it, but it was very
literal, the layers and how she
tasted it, and she had to make
herself figure out how to work
with a chocolate brown.
Which--what's wrong with brown?
>> Well, there's plenty wrong
with chocolate brown if it's not
good.
And you know, that dress was--
it wasn't offensive in any
particular way.
>> It was to me, it looked like
a maternity dress.
>> It didn't look amateurish.
It's not flattering at the
waist, that was really the only
thing I personally could object
to it.
>> There was an intention there
that I think was very good.
I'm with you on the color.
I'm not all there and--
>> Mm-mm.
Really, after a while, is she
an all star?
>> And then we have April.
>> The colors were pretty.
It was fresh and it was youthful
in its approach.
I think she needs a little more
confidence in who she is.
And I don't think we got a true
vision from her.
>> For me, it would look like a
little piece of Halloween, yeah.
>> I wish she had gone with
that, that could have been
really fresh and exciting.
>> That's right.
>> Let's talk about our top
scorers.
Let's start with Michael.
>> Michael is a great draper.
The style was really beautiful.
>> It's not my favorite fabric,
but I love the way it was very
floaty and it was timeless,
and she looked like a goddess.
>> I love the movement of it, I
love the flow of it.
It's also like something that--
I don't know what, like you've
seen before, something with a--
there's something about it
that's too on the nose.
>> I think the profile, the
draping on the arm, was so
beautiful.
But the fabric threw me,
'cause it didn't conjure up
grapefruit to me.
I know he said that was the
color, but it sort of read
fleshy, and I-I wanted to see
something fresh and vibrant.
And I think even a satin faced
georgette would have been
better.
>> So let's talk about Mila.
>> I thought it was a dress that
you could wear very easily.
You can just throw it on.
I did think that the styling was
a little heavy with the shoes
and the belt.
>> I got the flavor of the ice
cream from that dress.
That was my favorite dress.
>> Really?
>> Yeah, I really liked it.
[Laughter]
>> I really liked it too.
>> Something, you know--I really
adore easy clothes.
>> I don't particularly like
when you see the red through the
white.
I think it conjures up a strange
color.
>> Let's go to Mondo.
>> I like the color.
It's gorgeous.
The back detail--the way it
came down into that "v"--
was really nice.
>> I actually liked the literal
element of the sleeves that
looked like the cantaloupe rind.
>> I didn't find it sexy.
She was covered from head to
toe, and I didn't like the
bright orange.
>> You are the one who is
wearing orange, aren't you?
[Laughter]
>> It sounds as though it's
between Michael and Mondo.
>> Uh-huh.
It's a tough one.
>> It really is.
>> 'Cause the inspiration--you
could say Mondo is right on it.
If you--it was on the cover of a
magazine and the magazine was
called cantaloupe, you got it.
>> I think Michael's dress is
more creative than Mondo's.
>> The only thing I actually
just thought about, wearing
Michael's dress, you know--
especially now I'm
breastfeeding--without a bra?
>> Little bit of tape.
>> You know what I'm saying,
though?
>> She's totally on a personal
angle here.
>> I see why you ladies relate
to the thing of Mondo's.
There is a stylishness to it.
They're both award-winning
thoughts, I have to say.
>> So we've made our decision.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay, let's bring the
designers back out.
[Dramatic music]
♪
Designers, to create an outfit
in just six hours, that's pretty
incredible.
Job well done.
One of you will be named this
week's winner.
And one of you will be going
home tonight.
>> Designers, one of you will be
named this week's winner.
And one of you will be going
home tonight.

You're safe.
You can leave the runway.
Michael...

One of you will win this week's

Oh, my God.
>> Yay.
>> Oh, my God.
>> Congratulations, Michael.
>> Miranda, oh, my God, you're
going to look great, girl.
I'm just telling you right now.
>> I can't wait to wear it.
>> So, Miranda, are you excited?
Where are you going to wear
Michael's dress?
>> It's such a beautiful dress.
I could wear it to so many
different things.
>> Come to Palm Springs.
We'll hang out, and you can wear
it there, it'd look great there.
>> Palm Springs, that would be
nice.
>> Congratulations, Michael.
>> Thank you.
>> You are through to next week
and that much closer to the

for me.
Project Runway All Stars is a
dream come true.
It really is.
>> You know what, Mondo, we
loved your dress too.

>> All of us girls wanted to
wear that dress.
Congratulations, Mondo.
You're safe and you can leave

I think, at this point, the
judges are recognizing that I
have something else to show.
Maybe I missed the mark this
week, but I'll be back again
next week.
>> Anthony...
You're safe, you can leave the
runway.
>> Thank you.
>> Bye, honey.
>> April and Kara...
One of you will be in and one of
you will be out.
April...
We understand you only had six
hours, but your dress was poorly
constructed.
You need to learn that when
something's not working, you
just need to move on.
Kara...
You're a passionate designer.
But there was no passion in this
dress.
And we just couldn't get past
that maternity look.
That maternity look. Kara...
I'm sorry, April.
That means you're out.
Kara, you can leave the runway.
>> Thank you.
I want you to know I'm really
passionate about what I do.
>> You are.
>> We can see that.
>> I'm sorry.
>> Oh! Oh!
I am relieved!
>> [Sighs]
>> April, thank you so much for
being part of All Stars.
You really have amazing
potential.
>> Thanks, I appreciate it.
Thanks for the opportunity.
>> And we wish you all the best.
>> [Sniffling]
Thank you.
>> You wouldn't be here if you
weren't an all star.
>> Thank you.
Bye.
>> Good luck.
>> Obviously I wanted to come
here and win, but you can't
predict those things.
I just look at every opportunity
as an experience and grow from
that.
>> I love you.
>> I was so happy to meet you.
>> I'm not going to, like,
give up.
I have a degree in this and I've
worked really hard.
And I'm 22, so I have a lot of
time.
Going forward, I'm going to
expand my brand and keep doing
what I love to do.
>> Next on
Project Runway All Stars...
This week's challenge is to find
a muse to inspire a
fashion-forward look.
But there is an All Stars twist.
>> What?
>> Hold on a second.
>> Can I ask you guys a
question?
>> My name's Austin Scarlett.
>> I think you're gorgeous.
>> I will do whatever I have
to do.
I need those shorts right off
your back.
Ladies, that's how you get a
man.
>> You haven't actually got a
challenge under your belt yet.
>> It's so insane how she's,
like, in everybody's business.
>> Are you worried that you
might have peaked?
>> It looks the opposite of
sexy.
>> It's too confusing.
>> I feel like she's walking
around without her skirt on.
>> She looks like someone that
should be in The Lion King.
