I haven't watched any of the All Stars..is it good? Who won last season?

it was obvious that peach was going to be given the boot.
she struggled during her season...enough said

the clothes tend to be more interesting than the slapdash outfits you see on project runway.
mondo won last season.

Oh yeah! I think they said that in that ssn 10 episode where Mondo came in on the fabric challenge. I'll give it a go.

i loved the 1st episode from the 2nd season of project runway allstars. i will definitely be tuning in, the last season of regular PR was so darn boring. i can already tell that this season of all stars is going to be good.

not surprised peach was the first to go. i'm baffled by taking tennis wear to evening? what?!

I do not like how All Stars is edited. I did not see much of the design process...

ugh, yes. My husband seems confused about the fact that I hate this. Like it's not a big deal. But it's TERRIBLE.

that's a good point, i failed to realize this until you pointed it out. maybe there was too much to squeeze into the first episode? but yes, i do hope more of the design process is shown. i have mixed feelings about joanna being in the "tim gunn" role. (although a quick google search has told me that she is leaving marie claire....) joanna doesn't exude genuine warmth and concern and mentoring like tim gunn does, but i do respect the fact that she doesn't mince words and tells it like it is.

Didn't joanna do last all stars as well? I actually really like her tough love style.

I feel like they spend more time on the process once there are fewer designer. Plus I guess it's a trade off between giving fair time to everyone and totally ignoring the people who are safe (which drives me crazy partially because it's a total spoiler).

I would never want Joanna to replace Tim completely, but I do like that she is tough in her critiques for the returning designers. I remember from last season she was big on asking the designers about how their designs would work in real life - especially for all the designers that love to put stuff out there that are impossible to wear with bras. I think that the challenges can be tougher on All Stars and I like that too... but really anything that gives me more Project Runway makes me happy.

I love Joanna as the mentor! She gives excellent real-world critiques.

While nobody could ever actually replace Tim, I don't like him as much the past few years as I did in the early days. When the show started, everything he said seemed honest and up front, and now it just feels scripted... as if the producers have written a Tim character who he is now playing. Joanna is still herself.

This may be her last All-Stars, since she's leaving Marie Claire for Cosmo, but I hope not.

yes she did.



I do remember that last year, she was obsessed with bras ;) And yes, I really do like PR too so I'll gladly take All Stars to give me that fashion fix I need before the next season starts.



True this past season was a bore. Season 10 was just so boring. I don't think Tim really connected with any of the designers, this seemed especially noticeable when he actually went to visit a few of them in their private homes.

Windy Pepper's starting it off right with "I'm not here to make friends!"

i know, that kinda bugged me. i was like, just be you, you don't have to be your "character" from that other season.

THIS IS NOT HEIDI KLUM'S BEST FRIEND RACE

agreed, it's a competition, but since it's "reality tv" they could try to be more real and not fake/scripted. still overall, i think most of the contestants are true to themselves and not hamming it up so they get more face time with the camera.

I'm not really liking Joanna as a mentor, but I think this is mainly due to the fact that they edit so much out of the consultations that she has with the designers, and just patch together all these little snarky/negative bits. It just seems like there's way too much edited out for the show overall..I shouldn't be able to tell where there are huge gaps missing!

I didn't really like any that were in the top, but Wendy's really was bad. I didn't think either Ivy's or Uli's were disco. hmmm

they all should have been sent home because there was a lot of fug walking down the runway...
andre, suede and wendy were the worse of the worst but the way andre crumples when given a critique..it's like what 7yr would do.

i'm interested to see how the ivy and cassonova relationship plays out since she is his boss.

Andre is such a mess!

Is it Ivy who is Cassonova's boss? I thought it was Uli for some reason.

pretty sure it's ivy.
that's why he was helping her finish the dress

yup, that's right.

i actually did not like ivy's dress at all and was suprised she was in the top 3. wasn't crazy about uli's dress either. definitely did not like wendy's outfit but was surprised she went home. andre is already falling apart.

I loved Kayne's outfit this week though I did think it was more LA than 70s. Ivy's was neither attractive nor disco inspired, I could really not understand at all how she was in the top.

I do think it's interesting seeing how the All Stars have (or haven't) changed as designers! New Uli is like old Uli but everything's white instead of prints!

That shiitake cracks me up. He just flails all over the place. Dude is nuts.

that's why he is one of my faves ;) at least personality wise ;) it's horrible that i can't remember the other guy that was with him on his season, (maybe he even won?!) but those songs that guy sung about andre (and sometimes tim gunn) were freakin' hilarious!

Wendy's pants were SO awful. I'm amazed they weren't meaner about it.
