Project Runway All-Stars Episode 5
So the challenge this week had the designers in Central Park. While there, they had to find someone in the part and use them as a muse, making an outfit inspired by them. But wait, there’s more. The designers had to convince (and usually pay) these people to give them their clothes. This resulted in a hot guy getting shirtless and subsequently flirting with Kara and an even hotter guy named Diego (who was already shirtless) give Anthony his jean short and Austin his number. So after that nonsense fiasco, what money they didn’t throw in the air and let the people of Central Park con them out of was used to buy fabric. The rule was, they had to use at least 50% of the clothes they took from other people. Yada yada, Kara bummed money off of the others, Kenley basically made Kara’s pants (which is kinda unfair), and I’m constantly distracted by Rami’s great ass. The episode’s main “drama” was that Anthony had all of these clothes, and no design to present. Also, he realized Kenley is annoying…..what’s new?!
Winner: Mondo Guerra
It was down to Mondo and Austin which was a hard choice. I agree with the judges though for the simple fact, the detail and craftsmanship that Mondo put into making the jacket was amazing! Finally, the Mondo I love is rearing his head.
Loser: Anthony Williams
His was actually one of my favorite designs this episode but it wasn’t the design that got him eliminated, it was the fact he didn’t use half of his fabrics and his garment didn’t look inspired by his muse. Sad to see him go.
Favorites:
Aside from Mondo and Anthony, I also loved-
Austin Scarlett. The runner up. Love this. The left shoulder, I agree with the judges, is a little overworked but I still love this outfit. His is the most inspired by his muse.
Rami Kashou. Loved this look. Judges loved this look. Some of them hated the top’s fabric choice though and they hated the hat. I love the addition of the hat. It’s a cute hat and it added a needed pop of color to the outfit.
Michael Costello. This was actually in the bottom 3 (along with Jerell’s absolutely atrocious hodge podge acid trip tribal African safari disaster) but I like this outfit. On the technical side, the top is ill fitting and the masquerade that these are shorts, not a bathing suit is ridiculous. On the design side, the challenge called for something wearable….which this isn’t. But I like the direction he was going in. It reminds me of an outfit Michael Kors showed last spring. Side note, who else is getting really fed up with Michael’s lack of confidence?
Well, I don’t know if the show will be entertaining since Anthony (the only person giving this show life) is axed. Only time will tell and I’ll keep you updated.
