The winning designer spills on his contestants, (and who he ‘can’t stand’), the best piece of advice he got from the judges and what he plans to do now that he was named the winner of the competition!
Congratulations are in order for Anthony Ryan Auld, the designer crowned victorious on Project Runway All Stars Season 2! In an Exclusive interview with HollywoodLife.com, the talented young designer reflects on a season of stunning looks and dishes on upcoming collaborations and collections! The best part is — he’s not afraid to call other designers out on their drama. The All Stars season brought back some of our favorite designers of seasons past, and Anthony Ryan was not about to let his big second chance go to waste. Having only made it to seventh place in Season 9, he described this time around as “my second chance to show who I am as a designer.

Designer and former ‘Runway’ contestant Michael Costello talks us through the entire episode in his latest recap. Read on to find out which designer’s dress will be manufactured and sold by Elie Tahari!
We start the show on New York City’s iconic Fifth Avenue, where we see the designers ogling the windows of one of the biggest designer’s offices. They go into the Elie Tahari store where they meet the one and only designer himself. This challenge’s prize? Elie Tahari is going to manufacture, produce and advertise the winning designer’s look! The proceeds go to Save the Garment Center, which is the cause that Mondo and I designed for last ‘All Stars’ season.
Emilio is seeing this challenge as an opportunity to showcase his ability to have a strong functioning business.
Ivy is working with a print because she never does — and then here comes...

Laura Kathleen was eliminated from Project Runway: All Stars this week, leaving only five designers in the running for the season two crown. The 28-year-old from St. Louis was cut after a challenge that tasked the designers with creating a 1920s-inspired garment for a specific event (e.g., afternoon garden party, evening social soiree or after-hours speakeasy), then facing off against one of their fellow competitors. Laura Kathleen went up against Uli Herzner and created a deep-red jumpsuit that her model wore under a black fur vest. Photos: 'Project Runway: All Stars' Season 2

We’ve got questions, and you’ve (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about shows including Dexter, How I Met Your Mother, Gossip Girl and The X Factor!

"And now you will be hunted, one by one."
There's no getting around it ... this was a terrible episode. The designers have to use "green" materials to make a red carpet look, but all that means is that they forced the designers to try to create something un-ugly from the tackiest, ugliest swatches we've ever seen on Project Runway. We're talking sub-sub-motel curtains.
I have to give the designers credit for coming up with what they did, considering what they had to work with, but none of the final designs are what you'd call memorable. But at least they kept a sense of humor, and it's telling that the highlight of the episode was Casanova announcing that he smells, "Like a rat die in my armpit," which is a perfect metaphor.
So how did each designer do? Let's take a look. [photo_gallery|node_id=48409]

[Warning: Spoilers ahead if you haven’t seen Thursday's episode.] The all-stars try to make headlines this week as they create designs worthy of a photograph and interview piece in USA Today. It’s also the first interactive Project Runway challenge ever. The designers chose fan photos as their inspiration to tell a fashion story on the runway. And what a colorful, fearless and fun runway it was! In the Workroom One all-star’s attitude is earning her some bad publicity. Laura Kathleen just can’t seem to keep her foot out of her mouth long enough to make any friends.

We've only just said goodbye to the contestants of Project Runway's tenth season, and it's already time for a second go 'round for our All Stars! This season is a bit of a mixed bag - there's Joshua McKinley (the runner-up of the ninth cycle), Emilio Sansa, Althea Harper, Anthony Ryan Auld, Suede Baum, Laura Kathleen Planck, Ivy Higa, Peach Carr, Casanova, Uli Herzner, Kayne Gillaspie and Andrae Ganzalo. I only remember a handful of these people, but oh well. The group meets up at Parson's for the first time, where they continually call one another "amazing" in various forms. But wait - there's another contestant, and it's the hilariously amazing (pardon the expression) Wendy Pepper from season one! She's been known as a total bitch (not my words, I swear) and she's vowed not to change this time around, either - after all, (more)...

After the underwhelming Season Ten of Project Runway, I'm not sure it was a good idea for Lifetime to plunge immediately into a new cycle, as its easy to experience burnout (and this is the second All Stars series this year).
But luckily, this batch of designers is road tested for drama, skill and just a drop of crazy, so maybe they can deliver some excitement ...or at least, tears and slapfights.
The designers meet up, get acquainted (or re-acquainted), new host Carolyn Murphy informs them that the winner will receive the biggest prize in Runway history, with cash and fashion crap totaling $350,000 dollars, and then they are immediately thrust into the the thick of things (this series is only an hour an episode, which adds to the frenzy and eliminates the dull spots, thankfully).
Mentor Joanna Coles has them choose teams, and each team is assigned to create a mini collection with "attitude.

We can quibble about the name Project Runway: All-Stars, since I don't see prized contestants like Nick Verreos or Jillian Lewis in this lineup, but the second installment of Lifetime's alumni competition is probably going to be entertaining all the same. Truly. There are enough wild cards at play here -- each equipped with a wildly different skill type and level -- to make the season worth a run. The only problem? We need to rank which of these all-stars is destined for success. So here, just two days shy of Thursday's premiere, my predictions for the rankings of Project Runway All-Stars' new season. Spoiler: Pretty sure I made it work, guys.

Now, I am a human being, so I love Peach Carr, her constant catchphrasing (Loved when she said that her skirt wasn't short enough to "show the good china?), and her ritzy suburban Chicago flair.

Project Runway's latest episode saw the remaining eight designers split into two teams of four to create outfits for rock band The Sheepdogs. The challenge was to create an image for the band that stayed true to who they are as artists, with each designer on each team being responsible for the head-to-toe look of one of the four band members. Team Harmony consisted of Laura Kathleen, Bert, Anthony Ryan and Anya, who chose a modernized Jimi Hendrix theme, while Team Untitled was Kimberley, Viktor, Olivier and Josh M, who opted for a Western-style theme. Tim Gunn told them that cohesion was not necessarily important in the challenge but that the band should at least look like they "came from the same planet". > Project Runway axes designer after real women challenge

New York -- Fashion Week and TV came together Friday (Sept. 9) at Lincoln Center for "Project Runway's" finale, with nine designers presenting their collections, ranging from the elegant to the strange.
Though no one theme ruled the runway, the event featured an abundance of flowing clothes; some accessorized with blue wrists and gladiator cuff bracelets. Metallic dresses and shorts remain popular as do completely sheer tops. Apparently, for now, bras and camisoles are out.
"We have been very tough on them, especially me, so I have learned," host and "Project Runway" judge Heidi Klum -- stunning in a backless, black sequined halter and pants -- says of this season's assortment of contestants.
Up first was Laura Kathleen. Like many of the designers, she mentions how seeing her creations on the catwalk is a lifelong ambition.
"I've been dreaming about this moment since I was 13," Kathleen says, explaining that her collection is for "everyday women.

Season Nine of Project Runway is well underway, and after five episodes, there are still five members of Team Gay left.
Because the early going is basically just whittling down the cast to a reasonable number, we're going to eschew a regular recap and just focus on the highlights. (And many thanks to Ae reader Miz Liz for continuing the recaps in the forums while we were taking a sabbatical).
Seen And Not Heard
This week's competition involves working with children. *shudder* But wait! These aren't ordinary kids, they're art students, so the annoyance level is at a reasonable decibel. The kids create a painting for each designer, and that designer has to use the painting to create something avant-garde for the runway. I was crushed that they didn't have to literally use the painting. I would've given anything to see the models try to navigate the runway with their heads poking through.

Bert Keeter became an instant audience favorite with his win last week, but apparently he believes that "immunity" means "i'll just take this challenge off." He was shockingly apathetic, and even admitted as much.

Season 9 of Project Runway kicked off tonight and the designers were forced to create a design from what they were wearing on their backs when they walked in the workroom! We can tell you who’s gonna be a crowd fave, who’s a guaranteed dramaqueen, and who will definitely get the boot next episode!
Project Runway kicked off tonight and after the new designers presented their most treasured garments on their racks, four were already sent home! Gunner Deatherage, Serena da Conceicao, David Chum, and Amanda Perna were hardly even given a chance to make it or break it in the fashion world! After the unfortunate four were tossed, Tim Gunn sent the remaining 16 contestents, including reformed 57-year-old alcoholic Bert, cancer survivor Anthony Ryan, a mid-western sweetheart named Laura Kathleen (who everyone refers to as ‘Barbie’) and quirky Julie Tierney.
