That said, his ambitious collection was stunning. Repeating the word “personal” ad nauseam doesn’t necessarily make something personal, and I just didn’t get it. “This is very personal for me,” he later told the judges, fighting back tears. Isaac referred to the first and last dress as “pillars of beauty,” calling one of their sleeves “the greatest thing in the world.” (You hear that? “In the world.”) Georgina, meanwhile, appreciated the humor of it all, adding that it couldn’t have been done by anyone else: “I think you hit it out of the park.”ĭMITRY | I have a lot of questions about the inspiration for Dmitry’s collection, my first being: What exactly was it? He started by mentioning his love of “shapes and forms” from when he was just six years old, then described it as a reflection of his “personal journey as an artist and as a human being.” Even after the contestants were encouraged to be specific and to give a real sense of their aesthetic, Dmitry remained surprisingly vague. The judges couldn’t have been more thrilled with Michelle’s finished products. Her end result was a “baroque-inspired romance novel that starts off really nice… and ends really naughty.” MICHELLE | Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon” served as the basis for Michelle’s peachy throwback collection, which she instantly named “Harvest Mood.” More than any of her fellow designers, she seemed to have an immediate idea of what she wanted to create, so she was thrilled to get like-minded Sean Kelly as her assistant. “You really got this woman down.” Georgina Chapman didn’t love the felted wool - she thought the most successful pieces were made using more fragile fabric - but she found the overall collection to be “emotional” and “extraordinary.” “You did an incredible job,” Isaac told her. “It’s a brand new concept, and I don’t know how it’s going to pan out,” she admitted.įor the most part, Irina’s risks paid off in spades. IRINA | Drawing inspiration from Picasso, cubism, and “deconstructing shapes into pure geometry,” Irina (along with assistant Mondo Guerra) set out to create a 3-D sculptural collection that channels “fearless femininity and the strength of the modern woman.” And like all high-concept experiments, this one came with its share of unpredictable roadblocks, like Irina spending an entire day just cutting out shapes, unsure of how she would even piece them together. (Based on Evan’s reaction, I think he took that comment as more of a compliment than it was.) “If we were to pick based on things we’ve never seen before, you would win,” Isaac Mizrahi told him. The judges clearly struggled to wrap their heads around Evan’s overall concept, but they appreciated his point of view.

With Christina Exie as his right-hand woman, the “pacemaking, show-stopping drama king from Toronto” combined his street style with an aggressive elegance for a truly one-of-a-kind collection. (Come to think of it, that would also work as a really crazy prom theme. And because there’s (apparently) no greater conspiracy theory than the Queen of England secretly being a reptile, Evan settled on a “regal meets reptilian” theme. Let’s see how this all panned out…ĮVAN | For his collection, Evan was inspired by the feelings of paranoia and entitlement he experienced during the competition, ultimately landing on the concept of conspiracy theories. “The specific theme can be whatever you want,” host Alyssa Milano revealed, which seemed to please everyone. This time around, the designers were given more freedom than ever, challenged with creating a six-look collection in four days with a budget of $3,000. After narrowly escaping elimination last week, Project Runway All Stars‘ final four designers - Evan Biddell, Irina Shabayeva, Michelle Lesniak and Dmitry Sholokhov - faced off Wednesday for the newly minted titled of “World Champion.”
