Project Runway All Stars – Fashion Flap

Project Runway

Ivy – her model looks boxy and bland. The beading is pretty, but I am not a fan of the dangling feathers. The whole thing looks like a big shapeless glitter sack.

Aryan – His look is the winner of the two. His feather cape looks great and although the fit is a little shapeless, it moves well and looks far more flattering on his model than Ivy’s.

We’re down to the last six so no one is safe this week. Joshua starts strong with praise from Georgina about the modernity of his dress and the unexpected green peeking out in the back, but she hates the broach and handbag he haphazardly threw onto the look. The others give him generally good reviews and it looks like Joshua is safe this week.

Lady Mary would sneer if either of these showed up in her garden

Dead Mauth is looking good as well. Carolyn points out the lace detail in the back and I notice how much his model looks like a giraffe. Gretchen likes the length, but Isaac feels the look is more 1930s than 20s. Dead Mauth mumbles his way out of this by saying he was shooting for 1929.

Well played Dead Mauth

Uli is praised across the board. Mizrahi says the color white in a fringe cheapens the look however. But when Uli removes the silver wrap the judges feel the look is even more amazing and the fringe is perfect. I love the appreciation for her work, but no one wins unless they show trivial criticisms as well.

Dumpy and Frumpy look on

Saint P also gets more love when she removes the wrap from her outfit. Apparently today is an anti-wrap day. Both Carolyn and Georgina are critical of the wide leg pants. I feel they are finally getting a chance to tell Pancake that she needs to stop dressing herself like a little Clydesdale, but they stick to how fat she is making her tall leggy model look in this. Even the crotch is looking bulky.

Hint, hint. The judges are sick of staring at your pancake toe

Ivy’s critique is confusing. She is told her look is heavy and unflattering. But also that it has grown on Carolyn and could be seen at an art gallery. Her odd use of feathers is not well received, but once again I am left wondering what they actually think of this.I know they should hate it, so I am assuming they do?

Pro tip: greasing up the model makes the look appear more slimming

MrsMiaWallace is an east coast girl with a  penchant for travel, libations and great cuisine. She is not known to turn down a mimosa or a martini and finds the transition between the two a good way to mark the passing of time since she can never remember to wear a watch. Her secret love for reality tv and addiction to Bravo have drawn her like a moth to the glittering snark of TVGasm,  where she finds there are others like her... hopefully also nursing Bloody Marys.

    How. Does. Ivy. Stay. In. -How?? On another topic; Gretchen Mol’s smile melts my heart *Love* Anyway, I predict Uli, Aryan with DeadMouth as the wild card for Final 3. Thanks for all the fun MrsMia!

    Thanks for the shout out, MMW. I might have squealed a little when I saw Gretchen Mol because, despite all of Gillian’s monstrous behavior she breaks my heart on BE.

    But I didn’t think St. P’s look was better than Ivy’s. Polterwang (TM Fug Girls, I’m not that sartorially clever) should be instant elimination. Plus, she has managed to make a very thin, very tall, very leggy and very young model look short, fat and saggy. Ivy’s dull but at least her model always looks young and willowy.

    And I call BS of Aryan’s win. If his dress was any fabric but that shiny shiny fabric his outfit would have been a sack with feathery shoulders. Uli’s had thought and even with all the froufrou looked young and light. But she’s in the finale (not a spoiler) so I’m not too mad.

    A reason i think the they kicked Pancake off was because they have three designers left from season 9 which is widely known as the worst season in Project Runway’s history. The overpraising of Anthony Ryan is ridiculous he is always in the top even teacher’s pets like Anya and Mondo from the previous all star season where in the bottom atleast once. I would not mind if he is great but he is not and liked Flipit said is his video reacap he stole the shrug idea from Uli.

    When I saw that feather shrug, I didn’t so much think “Nevermore,” as “Wez, Warrior of the Wasteland.”

    Re your reference to Roots. Coincidentally (or not), it’s been airing on BET lately. My husband actually sat through the entire 10 hours on Saturday… even though we were on vacation in another state!

    Re the show, I enjoyed Anthony Ryan’s dress a lot. When I get thin enough to wear something like that, I’d wear it.

    I like Uli as much as the next person, but she has made the same damn dress three times already! This week’s looked just like the damn white one whe won for the first time and there has been ANOTHER white dress just like between these two!

    I do, however, have to say the caption “Quote the raven: Haaaaaay!” made me laugh outloud…

    Flipit, will you internet mary me and be my internet husband? You’ll get Tim as your internet brother-in-law. kisskiss

    As to Pancake and her roots, girl, if she’s half as rich as she claims, she would get her color done by a professional colorist. Hers clearly comes from a box on a shelf at Wal-Mart. It’s just nasty, totally one unnatural color all over and not even well cut. I’m not rich and I know enough to never color my own hair.

    I pegged Uli for this win and am not sure I understand what has happened in the cosmos that has allowed Jersey Chore and Hivy to STILL be on this show. If I have to see one more peek-a-boo shorts set or tank covered in muscle beach boys, I’ll, well, I don’t know what I’ll do. But it will be tragic.
