Project Runway All Stars Season 3 Review (Semi Final Episode)

Ahhhhh it's so hard not to spoil this week's episode!!! But I won't. I promise,
This week, the four designers competed for their spot in the Project Runway All Stars Season 3 Finale. All the designers did a great job this week and the judges really did not dislike any of them. The semi-final closed out with a familiar twist seen in last season's semi-final. Guest judges for this week included Nick Cannon, the creator of Milly, and Christen Chenowith. Personally I loved seeing Nick Cannon on the judges panel. I thought he was so funny!

Challenge: Create  a look under $400 put of Milly's prints to be sold as part of her collection.

Seth Aaron: Seth Aaron left everything on the runway this week. They asked for cute with an edge and that he delivered. Seth Aaron was deff in his comfort zone this week and it was really obvious that he was inspired by this challenge. His dress featured a white circle skirt with black and white polkadot trim. The top half of the dress was black and white horizontal stripes with a low cut rimed with a pink trim. This look was impeccably made and absolutely stunning. I think any girl would want to wear this dress! He really proved himself this week and I am SO glad! I have always been a Seth Aaron fan and I would love to see him walk away from this season successful.

Korto: ehhhh didn't love it. Korto made a racer back and a belt out of one fabric and a front and skirt out of another print but it was all one dress. I did like the print she used on the back and I agree with the judges that the cut of the back was hot. However, the droopy front and clashing pattern seemed sub-par for this point of the competition to me. I am glad that she was confident in her look but personally, I think she should have stuck with one pattern and one design. It almost looked like two dresses meshed together into one. And I think her idea was original and good, I just wish that it was either all of the front or all of the back if that makes sense.

Elina: Usually, Elina does not disappoint. However, I am going to disagree with the judges on this one. Elina used her signature silhouette and made a Strong white dress with yellow undertones in some spots and a silver zipper down the front. First thing first was that the zipper did not lay flat on the model. Honestly, I did not mind the zipper detail like the judges did. I did mind that it was waAaAaAvy.  I also was not fond of the yellow undertone. I loved the idea but I wish she had done it in a different color. From this side of the TV, the yellow areas looked dirty instead of cool. Any other bright color probably wouldn't have had this effect. Not Elina's best going into the final in my opinion but I do think she is an amazing designer who has really shined this season and deserves it all.

Christopher: Christopher seemed to be a little lost with the price thing this week but hey that's alright because his dress still came. Out stunning. Christopher's outfits are usually the most wearable and this week was no exception. I do not think the judges were correct in questioning who he is as a designer. Christopher's ascetic is classy and pretty and personally I think he depicted that clearly this season. That aside, let's talk about what he made this week. Christopher made a right black leather dress with a white manner on the top and a black and white tribal printed skirt that detached partly to allow the zipper to zip. The dress was really an eye catcher and was stunning. The only critique I have for it was that the top part of the dress looked a bit more wavy than it should have. Other than that,
I think he did a great job.

Twist  Time.
Last year, the two designers in jeopardy had 1 hour to remake their dress in hopes to make it into the final. This year, the two designers in jeopardy re mastered old looks to make a look in 1 hour right there on the runway.

Korto: Korto took the pants from her men's wear challenge and made them into a skirt. Can I say genius? Her top was dark grey and draped with a belt. The outfit looked very runwayie and deff showed off her skills.

Christopher: Christopher re-used his evening wear dress and made a mini skirt. His top was a Verne color with a chain detail. The judges were questioning Christopher's designer identity and he certainly showed them who he is in the dress. It was classy and pretty.

Who. Made the cut?? Your goina have to go watch the episode to find out.

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers wh...

Project Runway 10-26-15 Final Part 1 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers created a Red Carpet look. Thoughts in the Workroom: I knew Edmond would get the save!! Edmond really did deserve it. Not coming in prepaired must put on so much pressure. Candice's red and white pants are SO cute! Wait, Ashley what is that stain remover stuff? I need that. Challenge: The designers will show the judges three looks from their collection for feedback. One of those looks would be created from scratch, in the workroom . Guest Judge: No one this week. Home Visits From Tim : Ashley: Tim visited Ashley's hometown where she revealed her Mexican heritage. Ashley is creating a plus sized collection. I think that it is awesome that she is going for it. There is such a need for quality, fashionable, plus-sized clothing. Ashley's mother supported her vision stating the importance of Ashley's vision. Tim praised Ashley for her innovation with her floral headpieces, however, he warned her that the judges may cal...

Project Runway 10-22-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers created a look inspired by the bridges of New York incorporating 3-D printed detailing. Challenge: The designers were flown to LA where the city served as their inspiration for a red carpet look. Thoughts In The Workroom: L.A has a Mood puppy! So cute. Ashley's fabric is very pretty. Edmond's fabric is gorgeous as well. Edmond No! Don't shorten! I hope Kelly's pants fit... Guest Judge: Christian Siriano Ashely: Boobs! Ashley picked a beautiful gold sequin fabric. However, the dress was not my favorite this week. Ashley's dress was floor length with a-symmetrical sleeves. On one arm, she had a long sleeve. The other arm, she had a spaghetti strap. The chest had a huge cut out between the sleeves that plunged down to her waist. The neckline was not flattering in my opinion. The judges were split on this look. Some of them thought that fabric was dated while others liked it. Heidi actually liked the very open c...
