Project Runway All Stars 7/27/23--"Uncut Hems" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway All-Stars”: the challenge was to make lingerie inspired looks. We also had models of all genders just to screw with people. Kara Saun made a 1921-inspired sheer dress that was also tied to Black Wall Street and the Tulsa Massacre, and she won. Fabio was worried about being too boring, which is why he's been in the bottom, but he went too far in the other direction and was eliminated. (click for more)

Project Runway All Stars 7/20/23--"Fashion, Inside Out" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway All-Stars”: There were two groups and they were told to bring the 90s back into fashion. For some reason there was a weird school theme, which is fine for someone my age who was in high school in the 90s but for people younger I'm not sure why everyone agreed on that theme. One team had more cohesion than the other, but it was pretty even. Laurence made green leather pants with some suspenders and a cone bra and she won. Kayne was eliminated, even though they liked his corset and they had nothing nice to say about Brittany. But I guess covering Liris's upper chest is unforgivable. (click for more)

Project Runway All Stars 7/13/23--"Like, Totally '90s" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway All-Stars”: the designers were each given ten yards of the same fabric and told to make something. There was a lot of draping. Brittany made some sportswear-inspired pants and won. Even though there was a lot of draping, Anna made ruffles. Yes she made ruffles for the unconventional materials challenge, but the dress was not the same. Anya and Uli were way worse in making the same dress over and over. Korto and Kayne were very upset about it, and decided to blame Anna and not the judges. Korto did the most talking about it, but Kayne was the one who actually said something to Anna, but no one wants to say anything about Kayne. In the end Hester was sent home because their outfit was too much and everyone is still mad at Anna for whatever reason. (click for more)

Project Runway All Stars 7/6/23--"Seeing Red" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway All-Stars”: the contestants were put into pairs to make gowns for “modern royalty”. This was achieved with varying levels of success. Korto and Prajje used a fabric Korto brought from home with rich beading to make an African gown, and Korto was declared the winner. Brittany and Anna made a sad droopy beige number, but were both safe over Kayne and Viktor. Viktor wanted to make a “corset” that was really a breastplate, and he was sent home for costuming.

Project Runway All Stars 6/29/23--"Coronation Day" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway All-Stars”: the unconventional materials challenge asked the designers to make clothes from stuff in FAO Schwartz. Some stuffed animals and a lot of vinyl from floor pianos were used. Viktor won by making a dress out of the ends of foam boomerangs and two stuffed dinosaurs. Mila had a good idea to make a skirt out of strips of jigsaw puzzle pieces, but she needed at least twice as many strips as she actually made, and then the top was just cut up stuffed animals, so she was eliminated.

Project Runway All Stars 6/23/23--"Toying with Fashion" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway All-Stars”: the All-Stars were asked to “fix” their worst looks from their original seasons. No one was very happy to see their designs again, especially Bishme, who was thinking about his sister's cancer diagnosis and how she passed a couple of months ago. Mentally that's where he was when making the original design and seeing it put him right back there. Kayne made a dramatic skirt that was actually both black and white and not just black, and he won. No immunity though. The bottom two were the two designers from Season One, Kara Saun and Nora, because neither of them have really sewn anything for nearly 10 years. But Kara Saun's garment was better made so she got to stay and Nora was eliminated. (click for more)

Project Runway All Stars 6/15/23--"Project Redemption" summary

 

Previously on “Project Runway All-Stars”: we met all of the designers who decided to return for the “first” all-stars season on Bravo. I was fooled by a preview so the last episode didn't actually have any action in it. It was all introductions and then the reveal of the challenge: redo your worst outfit from your first season. We ended the episode right before any work was done. (click for more)
