>> Previously on
Project Runway All Stars...
The winner of this challenge
gets a place in the finale.
>> It's now or never.
>> I'm Nanette Lepore.
I want you to make a garment
that's irresistible, and you're
going to be under the real test
of the retail customer.
>> For a dress like this--it
would typically retail for
about $380.
You have about $40 left to work
with in fabric.
>> It does look like a tin can
with a string hanging out.
>> How do you wear a bra with
this?
>> It's a little harder to sell.
>> This is gorgeous the way it
is.
♪ ♪
>> I really like this dress.
I think it's masterful.
>> I like your use of fabrics,
and that's where you are very
strong.
>> Congratulations, Mondo,
you're the winner of this
week's challenge.
>> This is amazing, thank you.
>> Some things that look great
for retail just don't do enough
on the runway.
>> Here you've managed to do
something very sensual rather
than overtly sexual.
>> I'm sad because there was a
beautiful detail on the sketch
that's missing from the dress
now.
>> Oh, the keyhole?
>> You needed to add that
special touch.
>> I'm sorry to say, Kenley,
that means you're out.

Project Runway All Stars 1x11 Finale, Part 1 Original Air Date on March 15, 2012
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
>> Good morning, everyone.
>> Hi.
>> Good morning, Angela.
>> Austin, you shaved.
>> I did.
I decided to shave my mustache
just as a sort of a fresh start,
a new beginning, a renaissance
as it were.
>> He went from Errol Flynn
to Kermit the Frog.
>> We began with 13 All-Star
designers.
11 weeks on, and only three of
you remain.
You've all made it to
the Project Runway All Stars
final challenge.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
>> So the
Project Runway All Stars of
All Stars are Michael Costello,
Austin Scarlett, and myself.
>> One of the three of you will
be walking away with
the biggest prize in
Project Runway history.
To help reveal your challenge,
please welcome to the runway
some familiar faces.
>> I'm feeling very anxious.
>> Oh, my goodness.
>> Hi!
>> Hi, kids.
>> Hi.
>> Hello.
>> Welcome to the runway.
>> Thank you.
>> So, designers...
The best way for a designer
to present their work is with
a high-profile runway show for
their collection.
Now a designer would usually
spend months slaving away
on creating their best work
for this.
Even on Project Runway, they
get weeks.
But this is All Stars, and we
know what you're capable of.
>> Your final challenge is to
design a mini collection to
showcase your skills and
talents as designers, and we
want to see five different
looks.
>> You have four days to put
this little collection together.
>> Five looks?
>> Yes, guys, we have a full
runway show ready to go in just
five days' time.
>> Just even making it to
the finale--that's scary
enough, but now knowing what
your challenge is--that's
frightening.
It's frightening.
>> VIP guests have been invited.
>> Uh-oh.
>> And a very special location
has been booked.
You have a budget of $3,000 to
shop for fabric at Mood.
And of course, you have that
fabulous Neiman Marcus
accessory wall to add to your
looks.
>> In a couple of days' time,
there will be a model casting,
where you'll choose five models
each for your own runway show.
>> Usually, editor-in-chief of
Marie Claire magazine,
Joanna Coles, joins you in your
workroom.
This time, she's invited you to
her workroom.
>> Awesome!
>> Oh, cool.
>> Oh, I can't wait.
>> So it's time for you to
visit Joanna Coles
at Marie Claire's headquarters.
Good luck.
>> Thank you.
>> Bye.
>> Marie Claire, here we come.
>> Here we come.
Beautiful building.
As soon as we walk up, there
was this awesome escalator and
high glass ceilings.
I felt like Joanna Coles
getting ready to go to work.
>> Hello.
>> Good morning, guys.
Welcome to Marie Claire.
>> Thank you.
>> Why don't you follow me?
>> All righty.
It's all so surreal.
It's like words really cannot
express.
I feel like I'm in a dream.
>> You guys have a seat.
>> All right.
>> Thank you.
>> This is a huge opportunity,
and this experience could
possibly change my life.
I'm nervous.
I'm so nervous.
Ah! This is insane.
>> We wait...
And wait...
And wait.
>> Oh, my goodness!
Welcome to my world.
>> I look forward
to Joanna's consultations
because she really has a wise
and insightful professional
point of view.
It's very exciting.
>> You have all worked so hard.
Now tell me how you feel about
having to produce
the collection for the runway.
Nervous, frantic, I mean, I
think all of our minds are just
racing.
>> What do you basically look
for in a collection?
>> What you're looking for is
a shift from the previous
season.
And then when you're seeing as
many as 50 to 70 shows, you're
looking for themes.
And then you're looking for
people who are doing it really
well.
>> How do you feel when you go
to runway shows?
The theatrics and
the over-the-top styling?
And how can it affect you
being in a competition?
Because we've all been kind of
criticized of being a little
too theatric.
How do we walk that line?
>> It's a very good question.
I think that it depends on
the designer.
And are the theatrics authentic
to the collection that they're
doing?
I don't think it's in any way
essential to showing a great
collection.
>> Can you tell us about
the guest editor position here
at Marie Claire?
>> What the guest editor will
be involved in doing is joining
our fashion team when we
discuss what themes we think
are going to appeal to our
readers and working out how to
interpret the runway looks for
our readers who want to wear
fashion in their real lives.
You'll be working with
Nina Garcia and her team.
And, uh, it's really fun.
I never wake up in the morning
thinking, "Oh, I have to go to
work."
I always feel like, "Oh, I
can't wait to get there."
>> This prize of being a guest
editor for Marie Claire is,
like, my dream job.
>> Marie Claire is a huge
magazine.
It's a major foot into
the fashion industry, and it's
a route that I can take to help
better my career as a fashion
designer.
>> It would be so much fun.
>> I love being part of a team.
I really love collaborating
with other creative people to
accomplish the big picture.
>> Good, well, the next four
days are going to be very
intense for you.
I'm excited for all of you, and
I would be thrilled to have any
one of you join
the Marie Claire team.
Well-done for making it this
far, and I can't wait to see
the show.
All right, good luck, guys.
>> Bye, Joanna.
>> The boys and I head off to
sketch.
>> It's a beautiful day
outside.
The weather is really nice.
Well, there's a lot of green,
and I'm trying to find out how
to translate that green into my
collection.
>> I will be making a wedding
dress--the ultimate dress that
most women will wear in their
lives.
There is something just so
fantastically fashion about
ending a collection in
a beautiful wedding dress.
>> This is my moment to redeem
myself
so I really have to just focus.
>> This is what I was meant to
do, what I was born to do.
And now I just really want to
win, win, win.
>> I think I want it more than
Austin and Mondo.
And I'm here to compete 'cause
I want that prize.
>> There can only be one winner
in this competition, and as much
as I love Michael...
I really want to win.
I want to win.
>> Coming up on
Project Runway All Stars...
>> I'm frustrated, and I want
to quit.
I just wanna to stop.
>> You like the new setup?
>> I love that I can shut my
door.
>> Whenever I try and help
Mondo, he sort of throws it back
in my face.
>> We are going to create
a five-look collection in four
days.
>> It's very frantic to try and
choose fabric for a collection
in just an hour.
Okay, can we put this in my
pile?
>> I wanted, like, some kind of
silk jerseys.
Oh, this is gorge.
>> I'm really inspired by this
African safari.
I picture my collection being
on an adventure.
Perfect.
>> This is where you have to
commit.
Man, I don't even know how I'm
gonna do it.
I mean, usually I'm really
comfortable going into
the fabric store.
This time I'm going on with
a blindfold really.
>> Do you have an idea for your
collection?
>> Uh, no, I'm just pulling
things that I'm attracted to
right now.
And then I will re-edit.
I'm just not feeling it.
I'm not feeling it.
>> I do like this, yes.
I sort of see this woman as if
she stepped out of a Fragonard
painting, but she is
a modern-day rock star meets
Hasidic gentleman.
>> Ten minutes!
Ten minutes and counting.
>> All right, we'll leave
the four of that one.
Just do four of this one.
>> I'm gonna need absolutely
this whole roll for my wedding
dress.
>> Thank you so much.
>> Think I have everything.
>> Back to 1407.
>> Thank you, bye.
>> Oh!
>> Oh, this is all different.
Overnight the entire workroom
is transformed, especially for
the three finalists.
So is this our mini-workroom in
here?
We each have our own petit
atelier.
Perfect, it is big enough for
my dress.
It's definitely nice to have
sort of a calm oasis where I can
focus on what I need to focus
on.
>> You're happy with what you
got, Mondo?
You're not?
>> I couldn't even concentrate.
>> Do you like the new setup?
>> Mm...
Yeah, I love that I can shut my
door.
>> Ahem.
>> I hope you won't be
completely closing us off to
seeing what you're up to or
vice versa.
I want your opinion.
But yeah, if you feel like you
need...
>> Space.
>> Space and time to yourself,
I also respect that.
Yeah, you'll see it soon enough.
>> Okay.
Whenever I try and help Mondo,
he sort of...
Throws it back in my face.
>> I unpack my fabrics, take
a look at them, and I'm really
disappointed.
I'm not happy with what I got.
Finding inspiration for myself
right now from these fabrics
is really hard.
I'm frustrated, and I want to
quit.
I just wanna stop.
>> My collection is really just
Austin Scarlett.
Each look really has
a sophistication to them, but
there's also a whiical sense
to them.
And that's always something
that I love to balance.
Just sort of a fun, frivolous
feeling combined with something
sort of very elegant and
refined.
>> You are going on a safari.
>> Yeah.
>> This is like exotica.
>> I just want it to be fun,
adventurous but still keep it
sexy.
The lady who wears them is going
on a crusade with Indiana Jones
and the Last Costello.
>> Whoo-hoo!
You are in business.
>> Did you do anything yet?
>> It's a lot of pressure, Mike.
>> Okay.
>> I feel dead inside.
I don't feel one ounce of
motivation.
I'm just gonna shut my door.
>> I said, "If you wanna come
hang out, you know, take a load
off your chest or something,
come next door and talk to me
and play my little safari."
And he was like, "No, thanks.
I don't wanna go to the zoo."
>> That--okay, that's what's
not cool.
We all have stresses.
We all are in the same
competition.
>> Well, we all are having it
hard different ways.
I have kids.
None of the other contestants
know what it's like to be away
from your kids.
That's tough.
So for him to say that he takes
things in a different way or
his process is totally
different, it's kind of
disrespectful in a way.
>> I have all sorts of
that I'm dealing with.
My family--
>> That's true.
>> My mother was just evicted
from her house.
>> I know.
>> She's, like, homeless right
now.
I need to win this competition,
so I can pay so my mother can
have a place to live, okay?
>> True.
>> I think it's really, uh, sort
of immature to not...
>> I agree.
>> Recognize that others have
a life.
>> I'm hanging out in my room.
I'm in a total funk, and then
there's a voice.
"Designers, designers."
>> Hi, guys, how are you?
>> Hello, Georgina, is that you?
>> Hi.
How are you?
>> It's wonderful to see you...
>> How are you?
>> In person--or up close for
the first time.
>> I know, no runway between us.
>> I've admired her and her work
for years.
You always see the most
beautiful dresses on the red
carpet--they're always Marchesa.
>> This is the fashion industry
right in front of your face.
What better feeling can you get
than that?
>> So where are you guys at?
>> I love the direction that
I'm going in.
I see the shoe.
I see the hair.
I see the glasses.
I see the accessories.
I see how everything just looks.
>> But this time we do get
a little more time to think it
through, compose.
Neiman Marcus has been really
great.
>> Neiman Marcus actually gave
me my start in the industry.
They're a very nurturing
company.
To become part of the Neiman's
family is a huge thing.
And I think you want to think
about that.
>> When you go to a runway
show...
>> Yeah.
>> What do you like to see?
>> I like to see an idea.
I like to see a vision.
I want something to excite me,
to be like, "Wow, that's
an incredible idea.
I've never seen that before."
Mondo, you look like you've had
enough.
>> I'm just tired of people
telling me what I'm capable of
doing...
>> Mm-hmm.
>> And expecting things from me.
And it's just like, I'm not
happy right now.
>> Mm-hmm.
So do you need to take a moment?
>> I've taken probably half
the day.
I haven't even cut anything at
this point.
>> That's okay.
I have been to the worst places
before my collections--terrible.
I used--I never used to sleep.
It used to be a disaster.
And I'd be lying in bed.
I'd be like, "why am I doing
this to myself?
This is torturous."
As I learn and do more and more
collections--
and now I've learned not to
have the breakdowns.
>> Right.
>> And--but then I got worried
that if I don't have
a breakdown, "Am I gonna be as
creative?"
>> I love Georgina.
She's so down-to-earth, and she
gets us because she's
a designer too.
>> I think you all have
the potential to win this...
For sure.
Lots and lots of luck,
and I will see you in four days.
>> Thank you.
>> Bye-bye.
>> It was definitely reassuring
to know that Georgina, like us,
suffers from sleepless nights
and the horror and torment of
being ripped to shreds by
critics.
>> Bye, see you soon.
>> Take care.
>> That was nice.
Everything she said was
wonderful.
>> I've given up.
I've decided that today for me
is a free day in the workroom.
I just don't want to waste my
time, so I might as well just
lounge on the couch.
>> I can't believe you, like,
have a dress done already.
I love that.
The back is just so--
you're amazing.
Oh, okay, everyone.
Are you ready?
>> I'm not.
>> I'm starved.
>> Come on, let's go eat.
>> Oh, what a day!
>> Thank you.
Well, boys--
>> What are we toasting to?
>> To the art of fashion.
>> I'm in a foul mood.
I don't know where I'm at in my
head.
I don't know what I'm going to
do.
I'm done.
>> Are you serious?
>> Yeah.
>> Sometimes maybe he does only
think about his feelings and
that's one of his downfalls.
You know, it's a lot of
negative energy.
>> We haven't even had dessert.
>> And when he's in that mood,
that's when he turns out his
best work ever.
>> Coming up on
Project Runway All Stars...
>> Today's the model casting.
Gorgeous, I love you.
>> Austin has taken
the opportunity to become
the "casting director."
Such a.
>> Another day, another dress.
>> It's day two.
I'm gonna have to try and pull
a little bit of a miracle.
I got to make something that's
gonna wow Georgina.
I got to make something that
Isaac's gonna say he's in love
with.
I got to make something that
Angela is gonna want to wear.
It's stress, and it's hard.
>> This experience has
literally made me crazy.
I need therapy, so that's my
whole inspiration.
I'm doing a collection called
"therapy."
>> Ladies, we are ready for you.
Come on in.
>> Will you do a walk, please?
Smoldering.
>> Model casting is crucial to
your show.
And it's important to find
the right girl and to also be
inspired by that girl.
>> Could I just quickly throw
a skirt on you to see how you
move?
>> Yes.
>> I'll be right back.
>> Seriously?
Did he do that right now?
>> Come on, really?
>> Just slip that on over.
>> This has been a trend with
Austin throughout the season.
Whatever he wants, he usually
gets it...
>> Gorgeous, I love you.
>> Without even taking in
consideration anybody else.
>> So we both really love
>> I'm not gonna back down on
that one.
>> So...Neither will I.
So I think the only fair thing
to do is to flip a coin.
>> Sure, let's do it--flip it.
>> Heads.
>> Tails.
>> All right, darling.
>> Thank you.
>> And then I guess I'll take
Rae.
>> Wait, wait, wait, nuh-uh.
>> No?
>> No.
>> Heads.
>> He gets Rae.
>> Good for Austin.
That's become my motto.
"Good for Austin."
>> Happy casting.
>> He's such a.
>> So I'm thinking of all of
these ideas of, like,
acupuncture and, like, shock
therapy.
Now that I put the sleeves on
it, I don't know if it takes it
into wizard territory.
>> And I love this idea of
Rorschach inkblots, and I think
it's really cool.
And it definitely does tell
the story of therapy.
Ooh, it's pretty.
>> This stuff is like velvet.
I've always been really obsessed
by the traditional attire of
the Hasid men.
They're always in gorgeous
black brocades and satins.
Gorge.
I hope the judges recognize
the cohesive aspects of
the collection that I feel are
there.
>> Designers.
>> Hi.
>> Hi, Isaac.
Mr. Mizrahi.
I'm excited to see Isaac.
I think I have a little man
crush on Isaac.
He's pretty adorable.
>> Firstly...
You got these CDs of music
for your fashion show, so--
>> Oh!
>> And I encourage you to listen
quickly and sort of, like, put
your bids in for you want
'cause there's only three tracks
and you have to decide, so--
>> Oh!
>> Now I want to talk about
the psychology of showing
clothes.
You have five passages, right?
You show your newest thing
first, right?
And your grandest thing last.
>> Have you ever been in
a position where you really,
really believed about
a particular look, and no one
else really got it?
And you said, "You know what?
I'm doing it anyway"?
>> Every season.
>> That's reassuring.
>> It is--I'm telling you, you
can rest assured that that's
why they pay you the big bucks
or they will someday.
>> It's because you have
the balls to not listen to
anybody else and to do something
big and fabulous.
>> I'm really quiet 'cause I
just really want to take it all
in and hear what he's saying.
Because we can't just get this
advice anywhere on the streets.
So it's really cool.
>> You've come this far,
darlings, so please enjoy
the process.
'Cause if you don't enjoy
the process, we will be able to
tell.
>> All right.
>> Thanks for coming to visit.
>> Have fun.
>> Thank you, Isaac.
Isaac really gives me
the confidence that I'm doing
a great collection and that I
just have to make sure I get it
done in time for the runway.
>> This one's me too.
♪ ♪
Okay, I got track number two.
Settled.
>> Austin...
Do you want to go hear it?
>> Yeah.
You know, I think--
>> I picked this one.
This is number three.
>> How many are there to choose
from
>> Three.
♪ ♪
>> This is the one he picked.
>> It seems like whenever
designers have to choose
something, I'm always the last
one who gets to choose.
So I don't know whether to take
that as just sort of an insult
like, "I'm not friends with
you," or, "you're, like, my
hardest competition."
I do like the guitar 'cause
it's like rocker, glam.
>> Hey, you guys.
One hour left until the end of
the day.
How are you doing?
>> Okay.
>> Is that leather?
>> Leatherette.
>> Cute.
I could be very critical about
this, but he's giving you true
Austin Scarlett glamour.
>> What do you think of my
pants?
>> Cool.
>> Do they look like a skirt?
>> Yeah, kind of.
It's just really hard to wear
Michael's clothes unless you're
a model.
None of them can be worn with
a bra, and that's just not
realistic.
I don't just design for
a slender supermodel.
I design for real women.
>> Hey, guys.
It's time to go home.
>> Oh, wow, that looks great.
Mondo's theme of therapy is
pretty good.
But my collection really is
sexy, cool, feminine, and just
killer.
Three very different
collections.
>> Starlet Scarlett.
That's what he is.
>> Hello, designers.
Hi, Angela.
>> Working hard?
>> Yes.
>> Is this how you're always
working, all done up like this?
>> Yes.
>> It's been a long time since
I've been by 1407 Broadway,
and I'm super excited to see
what you guys are coming up
with.
But this wouldn't be
an All Stars...
without an All Stars twist.
>> Coming up on
Project Runway All Stars.
>> Look what the cat dragged in.
>> Hi, guys.
>> I'm not ready for a twist.
>> It's, you know, intimidating.
>> This wouldn't be
an All Stars...
without an All Stars twist.
>> Okay.
>> We decided we wanted just
one more look.
>> This collection is important
to me.
I'm trying to really make it
cohesive, so I'm not ready for
a twist right now.
>> Your five-looks collection
is gonna become six.
>> It's intimidating that you
have to make a sixth look, but
this is part of being
an All Star.
>> On Project Runway,
the phrase "One day you're in,
and the next, you're out," can
also work with fabrics.
Let's bring out your models.
>> Oh, my God!
>> All of our old fabric.
>> We've got a little bit
of the opera, Miss Piggy.
>> Oh, my goodness.
>> We've kept it all, and this
is what you'll use to create
your sixth look.
Now this look must be
incorporated into the overall
theme of your collection.
>> When you have to use scraps
from previous designs, you
know, it could damage the whole
collection.
There is nothing really safari
in my basket.
It's insane.
It's really insane.
>> This is fun.
>> We all know you're gonna do
a great job, but even All Stars
need a helping hand this late
in the game.
So we've invited some familiar
faces to join us back in
the workroom to help you out.
>> Come on out, guys.
>> Oh-ho-ho-ho!
Look what the cat dragged in.
>> All the designers from
the season that have been sent
home come back to haunt us.
Honestly...
It's a little uncomfortable.
>> Designers.
You can pick one fellow
designer to help you over
the next 24 hours.
Now, Mondo, you won last week's
challenge.
So who would you like to choose
to help you out in your
workroom?
>> I'm going to pick Mila.
>> Mila, nice.
>> I picked Mila because of her
technical abilities.
I like her approach to design,
and I like her work ethic.
>> Mondo, who would you like to
choose to go next?
>> Oh, God.
>> Go ahead and pick Michael.
It's fine.
>> Just to be fair, Austin, you
can choose first.
>> Oh!
>> Wow!
>> I'm gonna choose my fellow
aristocrat.
Her serene highness,
the Princess Antoinetta.
>> Yeah!
>> Anthony and I do have just
similar couture aesthetic.
So I thought he would really be
able to get my point of view.
Thank you.
>> I'm gonna choose that silver
fox right over there,
Miss Johnston.
>> Ooh!
>> I guess I can be your bitch
for 24 hours.
>> I know her from my season
and I know what she's capable
of.
>> See you soon.
>> Bye, designers.
>> Good luck.
>> Bye.
>> Which room is this?
To the right?
>> I'll take that.
>> This is one, two--
>> Three, four, five.
>> What should we do for
the sixth piece?
>> Pants would work beautifully.
>> Thank you for helping me.
I want to see what's in here.
>> I am a little surprised that
Michael picked me.
My style is so different.
But this look is gonna be very
well executed, and it's gonna be
up to my standards for sure.
>> So it's really, like, black,
white, red, and silver so far?
>> Mm-hmm, and it's only five.
Well, now it's six looks.
>> It's weird being back in
the workroom.
But of all the people there,
I'm happy to support Mondo.
This from the park?
>> Yeah, that's from the park.
>> You don't want that one.
>> No.
>> Yeah, no.
>> This is, like,
the collection.
The theme is sort of Fragonard,
Madame de Pompadour meets
21st-century
rock star/Williamsburg Hasidic
gentleman.
>> Okay.
>> Any questions?
>> No.
Oh, honey, honey, honey, honey.
I love Austin, and I hope he
does well, but I think that
Austin's collection is most
definitely requiring the hands
of Anthony l. Williams.
>> I don't know what on earth
I'm going to do for the sixth
look.
I don't want it to throw off
the entire collection.
>> How much leather do you have?
>> It's not bad though.
>> Pretty cool-looking.
>> I like that, yeah.
It's weird, you wouldn't think
that it would work, but--
>> Oh, I would.
>> I have enough to do, like,
a skirt.
Or make another pant.
Or bodice and leggings.
Like, leggings.
>> A little bit of structure
right here.
>> Okay.
I'm working on the fifth look,
which is a structured dress
with long sleeves and lots of
different sections all pieced
together.
I'm attaching the skirt part to
the bra and lining up the seams.
>> Oh, that looks sweet.
>> Let's cut some pink and see
how that works.
>> So no bust darts or
anything, right?
>> No.
>> Hi, darling.
Models come in for their
fitting, and it is like a zoo.
So I'm gonna fit you guys one
by one, and I'll come out and
get you.
>> This is so hot.
>> Isn't it?
>> This was the sixth outfit.
Just this morning they're like,
"Now you have to make six
outfits."
>> Oh!
>> Ultimately, I decide to
create this leather tuxedo
jumper made out of leather left
over from the street wear
challenge.
>> Gorgeous, ah!
>> So my sixth look is from
the leftover fabric where we had
our flag challenge.
I had tons of that white fabric
left over from the Greek dress
that I did.
>> Worse comes to worse, I have
those shorts to back me up,
right?
I'm gonna use black jersey
from the Jamaican flag,
the zigzag black and white silk
from Nanette Lepore, some of
the clear vinyl from
the lighting challenge, and
some silk charmeuse from
the "Night at the Opera"
challenge.
>> While some of his textile
choices are not my personal
choice, I respect his selection
as a designer.
>> Thank you, bye, Angelique.
>> Oh! That's perfection.
>> Oh, yeah, I like that.
>> The greatest thing about
working with Austin is, a lot
of the notes that I gave him,
he followed them.
Look, they are plenty of people
who would be fake with you.
I'm gonna be honest.
I see the top.
>> You don't see the blouse?
Anthony is not crazy about
the lace.
He said, "It looks like dead
white lady."
Um--
>> I think that, if he edits,
he will be a viable candidate
to win
Project Runway All Stars.
>> Thank you, Tatiana.
>> Mwah, mwah.
>> That was intense.
>> The corners are gonna be
a biatch.
>> Yeah, let's do a band.
>> I mean, I just want it to
lay, like, perfectly.
No pressure.
Work is never done until those
models step foot on the runway.
Man, this is such a, like,
train wreck, I don't even know
what to do.
>> I think that Mondo has become
sort of a little scattered
about how to approach this
final challenge.
>> What are you doing?
>> Trying to make it through.
>> I feel you.
>> Michael.
>> Either way you still get your
pony.
>> Pressure is really on
now. Oh, my neck.
>> We only have two hours
tomorrow?
>> I think so.
>> So little time.
>> I think it looks like crap.
Like, there's so much
to do.
I have the sixth look to cut.
I have a jacket to make.
I have all the alterations.
There's a lot to do.
>> 15 minutes.
>> This alone is cute, but it's
not a finale--an awesome
Scarlett finale wedding gown.
Sorry.
I hope--I pray that I can manage
to pull this one off.
>> It's so scary to be so close
to the final because you can
instantly lose it all on one
bad look.
It's scary.
>> Tomorrow--it's our last day
before the big finale.
So you know what, I expect to
work like my life is coming to
an end, which it feels like it
is.
>> Hey, guys, that's it.
It's time to stop working.
>> Let's go.
>> Coming up
on Project Runway All Stars...
>> Let's get this party started.
>> I really want to see how
he's gonna pull that out of his
ass.
>> We didn't finish as much as
I was hoping for.
>> How are you feeling about
tomorrow?
>> Oh, God, I want to win.
>> We arrive back into
the workroom.
It's our last day before
the big finale.
>> I have so much work to do,
a lot--a lot of--lot of work to
do.
I was almost thinking if I had,
like, extra time--
>> Ha!
>> I'm very grateful for Mila's
help, but we didn't finish as
much as I was hoping for.
I'm feeling very anxious.
>> Should I do, like, a couple
of little--
>> Yeah, you can do tucks.
>> Pleats, tucks?
>> Don't take, like, a million
hours on it.
>> No, I know.
>> Designers.
>> Hi, Joanna.
>> Your 24-hour help is now
over.
Quick hug.
>> Bye.
>> And I wanna come and chat to
these guys on their own.
>> Be good.
>> It's been regal.
>> Thank you so much.
>> You're welcome.
>> See you later, good luck.
>> Thank you for all your help.
>> Austin, how are you?
>> Wonderful.
>> This looks like a wedding.
>> This is going to be
a wedding.
>> Oh, it is going to be
a wedding.
What's that huge skirt over
there?
>> This is just the foundation
petticoat for this, which has
not been done.
But it's gonna be just, like,
glam--total red carpet gown.
>> How are you persuading
the judges you're really pushing
it?
>> Um...
I think by--
just I mean, I think that this
outfit honestly is, like,
something I've never seen
before.
>> All right, well, you've got
till the end of the day.
Use every single moment.
And, you know, listen, I wish
you the best of luck, Austin.
>> Thank you.
>> Best of luck.
You've worked really hard for
this.
>> Thanks, Joanna.
Thanks so much.
>> Mondo, hi.
>> Hi, Joanna.
>> Let's get this party started.
What's the story?
>> This whole process has
driven me a little crazy.
>> Right.
>> And so I came up with this
concept of therapy.
So I start out with this really
cool little skirt.
>> Right.
>> With this laminated raffia.
And then we go into this kind
of jersey top.
>> I like this 'cause it has
such a sense of humor about it.
Well, use the rest of the time
that you have wisely.
I think it looks really
coherent, and it's strong.
And I cannot wait to see it on
the runway.
All right, good luck, Mondo.
>> Thank you, Joanna.
Thank you.
>> Michael.
>> Hi.
>> I would know this was "A,"
from you, and "B," that it's
clearly part of the same
collection.
>> I wanted to do my take on
African safari.
>> Right.
>> But still keeping it in
a resort field.
>> And it's interesting you've
chosen resort because resort
has come out--
I mean, it's a third of
the clothes sold now, so that's
a very commercial decision.
>> This is the sixth look.
This is the patent leather that
I used in the miss piggy
challenge.
>> Right.
>> That trimmed off the bow.
>> Okay, so how are you feeling
about tomorrow?
>> Oh, God, I want to win.
I just feel like these are
clothes that women would want to
wear, and I feel good about it.
>> Well, you look in very good
shape.
I will see you tomorrow, come.
>> See you tomorrow.
>> Hello, L'Oreal Paris.
>> Austin, how are you?
>> Johnny!
>> It's good to see you again.
>> Johnny Lavoy is here to help
create the runway look.
Sort of like a really
exaggerated ringlet curl.
>> Yeah.
>> Almost how the Hasidic
gentlemen do.
>> If you--the focus is on
the front, I think it would have
more of an impact.
>> I have this idea of these
women that are a little unkempt.
Crimp her here and there just
to give it lots of volume.
>> She has a great head of hair
for that.
>> It's very African safari,
Serengeti.
So kind of tribal, effortless
hair.
>> But yet it's going to still
look polished and beautiful.
>> Yeah.
Well, good luck.
See you guys later.
>> Thank you, good luck to you
too.
>> Thank you.
>> Ugh, my kingdom for
a seamstress.
>> I'm probably a bit more
scared about Austin's collection
rather than Mondo's.
It looks like there's been
seven to eight months put into
that collection.
There's good stuff there.
>> Mondo, one half-hour.
>> Thanks, girl.
Now be gone.
Austin's collection--
I don't get it.
He has a couple looks in his
collection that are true
Austin Scarlett, but some of
them are risky for him.
>> Having a glamour
excitement fit.
Mondo's collection--it's nice,
I mean, very frantic.
>> Hey, guys, ready to go?
No.
Can we just spend the night?
>> Oh, what a day, what a day,
what a day.
Tomorrow is our big day.
>> That was intense.
>> Are you finished?
>> No.
>> No?
>> I'm just thinking about how
much I do really, really want
the prize, how much I feel that
I have earned it.
>> You definitely know how to
cut a beautiful dress.
>> Right now it's hideous, but
you're gonna turn it into
something fabulous.
>> I think--
>> Aren't you, Austin?
>> I am.
>> It looks fresh and classic.
>> I'm enchanted by your dress.
>> You're a star, man.
>> If I win this, I'll be able
to take all those prizes and
make them grow ten times.
>> I feel like this is my time.
I feel like this needs to happen
in order for me to really move
forward and accomplish what I've
set out to do.
>> I think it's amazing that
you got all this from what you
found on the street.
>> I love the fabric choice for
this.
I just think the kind of
character she is is played up
brilliantly in this.
>> I just said, "wow!"
>> I love this.
>> I would die for this outfit.
>> I can't wait any longer.
>> Tomorrow should be exciting
though, right?
>> I can't wait.
I really can't wait.
This is all I've ever wanted.
And it's so close.
>> You took the project in
a slightly more sophisticated
direction.
>> It looks like a prison for
Kermie.
>> You are the envy of every
designer in this room because
you work so fast.
>> Michael, you got to call me
after the show.
>> You're like the official
designer to the stars.
>> I want it.
I want this so bad.
>> Cheers.
>> To final three.
>> The final three.
And tomorrow is the big day.
