>> Tonight, get the inside scoop
and designer dish on cliques,
grudges, and jabs.
>> And find out what gets our
judges' knickers...or is it bras?
In a twist.
>> Did anybody sleep with
anybody on the show that we
didn't know about, seriously?
>> Oh, my gosh.
>> I hated him.
>> It was aggressively,
fashionably wrong.
And there's no nice way of
putting that.
>> Did you just sideswipe all
women designers?
>> No.
>> Her dressed looked like an
angry box of French fries.
>> None of that trash talking is
necessary.
>> "Blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah."
>> Tonight on Project Runway
After the Runway.
Welcome to Project Runway
After the Runway.
I'm Isaac Mizrahi and joining
me, is editor-in-chief of
Marie Claire magazine
and fabulous mentor,
Joanna Coles.
>> Hello, designers.
How are you all feeling?
>> Wonderful, thank you.
>> Fantastic.
>> Well, you've all been through
the elimination process once
before in previous seasons.
Does it make it harder, knowing
labeled a two-time loser.
That's for me.
>> Wow, did you just say that?
>> Yes, I did.
>> He said that.
>> You don't want to lose again.
And I didn't want to have
another meltdown like I did on
season eight, so...
>> this week, you visited the
u.N., where the challenge was
to choose one country's flag
and design a dress inspired by
the colors and culture of that
flag.
I have to say, you all seemed to
have a hard time with this
challenge.
And we definitely had some
issues with your work.
Let's have a look.
Try not to do a dress that looks
like this next time.
I mean it.
>> It's just screaming beauty
pageant to me right now.
>> I think that bow would look
better on a Christmas present.
>> I get communism from this
dress.
It's disturbing to look at.
>> I just wonder whether there
are too many ideas in this
dress.
I think it needed editing.
>> I just don't know who can
wear that dress or where.
>> Hair wraps, a bracelet, and
all these things that really
bother me.
>> Looks a little tortured.
>> I can feel his suffering, in
the workroom, in this dress.
>> And she looks okay.
>> It's not the worst dress I've
seen on Project Runway
all stars.
>> Aww.
>> I was suffering.
>> Austin, we always enjoy your
dresses.
I think of you as queen of the
gown and yet you really
struggled with this, didn't you?
>> It definitely was a struggle.
In the whole body of project
runway, this is sort of my
least favorite design.
Normally when I create an outfit
it takes weeks.
You know, I really put a lot
of handwork and detail into
something.
So to create anything in just
one day is always hard for me.
But I am never one to just play
it safe.
"Oh, I'm just going to do
something like two seams up the
side, I..."
>> ain't nothing wrong with two
seams.
>> Well, mila unfortunately
didn't stay in the competition.
But the good news is, she's
currently working on a film set
as a costume designer.
So she couldn't join us here
tonight.
But we did catch up with her
earlier.
And here's what she had to say.
>> Hey, guys.
Um, sorry I can't be with you
to talk about the infamous flag
challenge.
I think what was really
frustrating about getting
eliminated on the flag challenge
was that I really did stay true
to my aesthetic.
And prior to that, I went off of
my aesthetic and was criticized
a lot for that.
So I felt like, all right, well,
I can't do anything right,
obviously, so at least I was
proud of my work.
I think it's interesting that
the bottom two were myself
versus jerell, because we could
not have been more opposite.
I mean, I feel like jerell's was
over-designed and kind of sloppy
and very costumey.
I mean, watching it again, I
really felt like this is, you
know, a Halloween costume.
>> So that's mila being fairly
opinionated there.
Jerell, what did you think?
She said that yours was
Halloween costumey.
>> We all have our opinions...
>> right.
>> I mean, I can say her dress
looked like an angry box of
French fries, you know.
>> Right.
>> Well, whatever, it's...
>> none of that trash talking is
necessary.
>> Did you think it was trash
talking or do you think it was
just someone who was defending
her right to, like, play as an
all star?
I mean, what if you'd gotten
eliminated?
Wouldn't you just speak the
truth?
To her, that's the truth.
>> But it wouldn't matter what
my opinion is about mila's dress
or any of her clothes.
Because we have totally
different styles.
I'm not her customer.
>> Right, yeah.
You thought that mila's garment
was cool, right?
>> I thought it had a definite
strong point of view.
And there was this very graphic
glamour to it.
>> Clearly there's some
differing opinions about mila's
dress.
How would you have improved it?
>> I don't not like the dress.
I just feel it looks sort of
Soviet.
Your dress had bad angles.
But it was a perfectly finished
looking creature.
But when something about that
dress of mila's came out, it was
aggressively fashionably wrong.
It's like a girl walking into a
room, you're going, "oh, no,
no, no, no, no.
She doesn't know this, but
that's wrong."
And there's no nice way of
putting that.
And that's why that dress went
home.
>> I want to put you all on the
spot.
Do you all agree with the
judges' decision that mila
should have gone home or would
you have sent jerell home?
>> Now that I think about it,
I really do like what mila did.
I like that it was very
different.
I thought it was unexpected.
But yet, it still had the
mila hermanovski flair to it.
>> I liked mila's dress.
And I think she edited it a
little bit more than jerell did.
>> I didn't think her design was
that that bad.
>> Well, she might have been
eliminated but she has a clear
point of view and she has a
real passion for fashion.
Let's take a look at the highs
of mila's journey on
Project Runway all stars
>> I think I'm the best
designer here, because my work
is fashion-forward, current,
contemporary, and accessible.
Michael, look, no black.
>> It's beautiful and the design
is nice.
>> This says, "cherry ice
cream," so clearly.
>> Wow.
Mila's grooming services.
I've never worked with faux fur
before.
I'm like some crazy cat woman
now.
>> I like the geometry of it.
>> Mila, you have the high
score, and Rami, you have the
low score.
>> Overall, I'm really proud of
everything that I've done on
this show.
And I've listened to the judges'
critiques and tried to use that
to make myself a better
designer.
>> We're going to miss mila.
One designer who seemed to
embrace this challenge and
really take it in another
direction was Mondo, tonight's
winner.
Congratulations, Mondo.
>> Thank you.
>> He did the get the very
first choice of his flag.
I would like that to be known.
>> But why was that?
>> Ooh.
>> We don't think of you as a
gown person.
What inspired the gown?
>> I guess I just wanted to do
something new.
You know, like, something that
the judges hadn't seen from me
yet.
>> Where is this dress?
'Cause I want to steal it and
wear it.
>> It's in your closet.
>> I wish it were in my closet.
I wish it were in my closet.
>> Joanna, you can't wear a bra
with that dress.
Sorry, I had to bring it up.
>> Can't wear it, can't wear it.
>> Just so you know.
>> So Kenley was the first
runner-up and I have to say I
really liked your design.
>> Well, there was a lot to love
about this design, including
that you can wear a bra with it.
What do you say to the criticism
that you often make the same
dress all the time?
>> My silhouettes are very
flattering to a woman's body.
And I use different pop elements
in different ways.
>> But of all the designers, you
have the least room.
I feel like you stay in a box
that's this small.
>> I'm very true to my
aesthetic.
I do a '40s, '50s type of
silhouette with a little modern
quirkiness.
And that's what I wear.
>> I will say...
>> I wouldn't wear anything
else.
>> That's what a lot of women
designers say.
"I design clothes that I would
wear only."
>> Right.
>> You know what I mean?
And that's what makes them
better or worse designers than
men who go like, "I can be any
woman in my head that I want
to be..."
>> Right, right.
>> "And design for millions of
women."
It's true, it's, like, what do
consider better or worse?
Is it the very, very, personal
perspective coming from a woman
going, "oh, my hips.
Oh, my bustline.
Oh, my neck, oh, my this"?
>> Yeah.
>> Did you just sideswipe all
women designers by saying that
they're so limited that they
only design for themselves?
>> No, darling, I sideswiped
both.
>> I think I'm just processing
a huge insult to women
designers.
>> Wait a second, no.
Did you hear what I just said?
I said, "is it bad or good?"
>> Or good.
>> We have a very special guest
tonight who's going to shed
light on their friendly rivalry
a bit more.
Please welcome Kara.
>> Yay!
Hi, pretty girl.
>> So, Kara, how are things?
>> Um, things are good.
Things are really good.
Obviously, you go through this
whole process and it definitely
changes you in ways that you
don't expect.
For me, it was very difficult
sometimes to watch, especially,
um, with, you know, what you had
said on camera.
>> That dress, it wasn't
offensive.
>> It was to me.
>> Is she an all star?
>> Which I felt was, you know,
very difficult to be questioned
as an all star.
>> Right.
>> Is something I really took...
>> you are an all star.
>> Thank you.
And it's a really difficult
format to put yourself out
there.
>> Yeah, you know what?
You're definitely amazing.
You are one of the great
designers and somehow...
>> is she an all star?
>> Of course she's an all star.
>> Thank you.
>> She was already on the show.
I just...it was a figure of
speech at the moment.
I'm so sorry it came off that
way.
>> No, of course.
>> Honestly, what I meant more
was, "is that dress worthy of
that all star?"
>> All right, well, when we
return, we'll get into the
cliques among the designers
and why designers just say no to
women wanting to wear a bra with
their clots.
>> Is it "project friendship" or
is it Project Runway?
>> No.
>> I was terrified of him.
>> Did anybody sleep with
anybody on the show that we
didn't know about?
>> Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
blah, blah, blah.
>> Who would you have sent home,
jerell or mila?
>> Well, I mean...
>> Project Runway all stars is
the best.
Because we get to see all of our
favorites from past seasons
coming back.
And...
>> get to see them battle it out
again.
>> Yeah.
>> You know, we wanted them to
win so bad at the...you know, the
different seasons that they were
on and now we're gonna get to
see, really, who's the best of
all of them.
>> Mila is probably the most
opinionated.
She says whatever's on her mind.
And is always kind of a Debbie
downer with the other designers.
It's fine if you have an
opinion, but why do you always
have to be so negative about it?
>> Hey, jerell, um, I think you
should do menswear, man.
You got to get...dress hip guy
like me.
It's a ladies world, but you
know, I want to look hip and
cool too, as you could tell.
So, you know, give us some
menswear.
>> Isaac, what's the one piece
of clothing you can't live
without?
>> I have to say a T-shirt,
at the risk of sounding boring,
because it's something that I
wear all the time, and if it's
not right, it drives me mad all
day long, and I can't wait to
rip it off when I get home.
So I think it's all about, like,
a T-shirt.
>> Jerell, you've clearly got a
fan.
How do you feel about designing
menswear?
>> I thought that was me from
the future.
I'm like, "is this, like, some
total recall or something?"
Actually, I love menswear.
So it's something I am kind of
working on right now.
You can check it out on my
website, jerellscott.Com.
Get some. Ungh!
>> Kara, who would you have sent
home, jerell or mila?
>> Um, wow.
Right here.
I think I would have...
well, I mean, I probably...
I probably, I think, I mean...
No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
>> Just spit it out, just go.
>> No, because I actually
appreciated design...
mila's aesthetic.
I thought it was a great dress.
I think I would have sent yours
home.
>> Okay.
>> It was a little too...
>> It was a little, "ah-ya-ya."
>> You always, maybe, mix too
many people together.
But I loved it.
>> Okay.
>> And I love you and I'm sorry.
>> I love you too, girl.
>> I mean, I have to say, beg
a judge, that was the hardest
part every week was the sending
home.
It was, like, you know, me and
Georgina were sort of grasping
at each other like that every
week.
>> Oh, it's emotional.
>> It was really horrible.
And calling and texting, "did we
do the right thing?"
And on the flip side of it,
someone winning was always so
great, you know.
Giving someone an award, you
know, every week was really
fabulous.
>> One thing I know the fans
have noticed in the workroom is
the cliques.
And I know you know what I'm
talking about.
>> Wait.
You're talking about a "click"?
>> I'm talking about a clique.
>> Okay.
>> It's a French word.
>> Oh, my God.
Michael. Oh!
>> Kara, are you feeling
Madagascar?
>> It feels like the beach.
>> Kara, look at my fabric.
Wow, that's beautiful.
>> I think that Kara and Kenley
are becoming quite codependent.
>> No, no, not high.
>> Did you want me to finish
this for you?
>> No, this [Bleep] done.
>> Now, Kara, you and Kenley and
Austin seem to have, like, a
lovely sort of trinity going on.
Can you address this a little?
Like, what was it that was
special...
>> who was father, who was son,
and who was holy ghost?
We became friends on the
all star show.
I had seen both of these lovely
ladies on television and had
never had the pleasure of
meeting them, really, in person.
Michael and Mondo already had a
very strongly formed friendship
from the very beginning.
>> Right, that's true.
>> You know, sometimes you need
those sounding boards, even in
the environment that we are,
because it's so stressful.
>> To say sane, yep.
>> You have to vent with one
another.
>> Right.
>> Or just bounce ideas off...
have a conversation about the
design we're doing.
>> Yeah, yeah, just chatter.
>> He loves it because he had to
watch what we call...
>> I had to watch them.
I sewed behind...
>> he made up a show called,
"silver roots."
We're going to be 80.
We're going to have silver
roots, dyed hair.
>> At the nursing home.
Just like, "blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
Like, sewing, sewing, sewing,
sewing.
>> Being all yenta-like.
>> Working on their snuggies.
Something.
I was cracking up.
>> Yeah, what is wrong with
that?
>> There's nothing wrong with
that.
>> Nothing.
>> It was entertaining.
>> It's essential.
You can't get from a stressful...
>> I don't think people were
bothered by the laughing and
the chattering.
I think once it got to, like,
if we, like, gave each other an
opinion, people got upset.
Like, "oh, they're helping each
other, oh, no."
>> In the end, what is your
agenda on the show?
Is it "project friendship" or is
it Project Runway?
>> No, it's not necessarily,
but I don't think you have to
step on toes to get to where you
need to be.
>> Right, that's true.
>> I think that everybody goes
their highs and lows through
this thing.
And these friendships are just
something that carries you.
It's your...it's your...
it's your stamina.
>> Mondo and Michael, you didn't
get on when you first met in the
first season.
>> Right.
>> And you were on a challenge
together, weren't you, in your
previous season where you
actually had to get on?
>> Right, and I hated him.
>> And I was terrified of him.
>> You were terrified of Mondo?
>> I was terrified because, to
me, in that room, he was, you
know, the best, you know,
fashion-forward, really cool
designer, and I was afraid to be
his sample maker.
>> Well, let me just say this.
I'm not really excited about
this, because your construction
is awful.
You have to draw your lines.
I can't believe you don't have a
ruler.
Michael c's fabric choice?
I don't like it at all.
>> It gets me a little upset
sometimes when people say I
can't sew.
>> Looks good.
>> Yeah.
>> After working with
Michael costello, I know that
he's a good guy and I was being
a dick.
Sorry for being such a bitch,
but...
>> it's okay.
>> You know, our friendship was
built on respect, because I
really underestimated what he
could accomplish.
And once he started listening,
I knew that he was really
wanting to learn, and to really
achieve something, you know?
That's where our friendship
kind of built.
And even on the show, yes, we're
still friends.
But in reality, we're competing
against each other.
>> Yeah.
>> I always feel like the
audience is always wondering why
people are friends and how we
actually become friends in such
a short amount of time.
But we're really all we have.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> We're really each other's
ears, eyes, shoulders, you know.
>> That's it.
>> I mean, that's the truth.
>> It's really hard because you
live together.
>> That's it.
>> You're not just working in
same room, you're living in the
same room.
Did anybody sleep with anybody
on the show that we didn't know
about, seriously?
>> Oh, my gosh.
>> I want to know.
>> We're not telling.
>> Okay.
>> What happens on project
runway stays on Project Runway.
>> Kara, just tell them the
truth.
>> I can't, I can't.
Remember?
>> That's right.
>> One drunken night, I
remember.
>> Well, when we come back,
we're going to play something
called, "the fashion jab of the
week."
And one of you will be the lucky
winner of that challenge.
>> And Joanna will finally get
to address, to us, why she is so
obsessed with the idea of
wearing bras with dresses.
What is that about?
>> Oh, another dress that we
can't wear a bra with.
We want to be able to wear
underwear with clothes.
>> Welcome back, everyone.
Tonight we're talking with the
remaining all star designers in
the competition.
But despite their talent, it
turns out that nearly all of
them are guilty of one very
serious fashion faux pas.
Take a look.
>> Let me ask you a question
that designers hate.
How do you wear a bra with that?
>> You don't.
>> The back is gonna be really
dramatic.
I'll spin it around for you.
>> Oh, another dress that we
can't wear a bra with.
You designers, you just try to
torture women.
We want to be able to wear
underwear with clothes.
Is anyone in this room doing a
dress where a woman can wear a
bra?
>> Yes, no, no, no, I'm not...
I'm not finished.
>> Finally, a dress that a woman
can wear underwear with.
>> Absolutely.
>> Isaac, what is up with that?
How are you treating women like
me who just want to wear
underwear?
>> I mean, I have to say, for
every dress that you do that you
can't wear underwear with, you
do two that you can wear bras
with.
But you can't skimp on the sex
appeal just for that customer
who needs a bra.
You have to kind of do both.
>> But I do think that it's a
big difference between male and
female designers.
Everything you design, Kenley...
You can wear underwear
with.
>> Am I being unreasonable here?
>> No, not at all.
>> I think...as a male designer,
I think it's a very valid
request.
>> But for most women across
America, I don't understand how
these dresses translate into
real women's closets.
And all of you want to be
designers that have a big enough
customer base that you can
support yourself in the lavish
lifestyle that Isaac Mizrahi
has.
>> Project Runway versus
"project retail" for instance.
Do you know what I mean?
>> Right, but Michael, come on.
You design almost nothing...
>> I'm guilty, I'm guilty.
>> Talk to me about this.
>> I just have to tell the
truth, I'm guilty.
Everything you've seen on the
show with me was either low-cut,
backless, or one-shoulder and
was held up by a string.
I think, as a designer, you
should be able execute your best
work and put what you see in
your head on the runway.
And then, yeah, offer a
rendition of it in a ready to
wear piece that you can wear a
bra with.
>> What I do think Joanna
brought to the workroom is,
like, questioning a designer's
intention.
Like, do you think about the
real women when you're
designing?
And I think, really, you're
designing for people that are
buying your stuff.
>> Yep.
>> And I love that.
>> Okay, okay.
We have one final bit of fun.
We've put together a tape of all
the terrible, but wickedly funny
things you said about each other
on tonight's show.
>> Yay.
>> We're gonna play them.
And at the end, we're going to
choose fashion jab of the week.
>> This is not grease lightning
right now, this is grease
frightening.
>> The back is exquisite.
>> All she needs now is a crown
and she could possibly win
miss world 2011.
>> I find a really beautiful
blue and white print.
>> I have never seen a polka dot
flag before, but I guess the
state of Kenley Collins has
polka dot flags.
>> Fabulous.
>> I really think the outfit was
one of the most vulgar,
tasteless, hideous things I've
ever seen in my entire life.
>> Darlings, those were some
real zingers I have to say.
Joanna, this is gonna be a
really difficult decision.
>> I know, I'm loving Mondo's
comment.
>> You are, which one?
>> Yes, the one about Michael's
dress being fit for miss grease
2001.
>> Right, grease frightening.
>> I like mine.
I like the state of Kenley
Collins.
>> Because she does actually
need her own state.
>> Yeah, polka dot flag for the
state of Kenley Collins.
>> And after all, it is her
world, right?
>> I liked it too.
I thought it was cute.
>> I love...
"excuse me, like, that is the
most hideous, disgusting, vulgar
dress I've ever seen in my
life."
>> That was pretty bad.
>> That was bad.
So, wait, Joanna.
We have to make a decision here.
Come on, what do you think?
>> I think, maybe you're right,
the state of Kenley Collins.
>> Oh, really? Okay.
>> Yay!
>> Congratulations, Michael.
You are the winner of the jab of
the week.
>> And Joanna, my darling,
that's all we have time for.
>> Say it's not so.
>> It's been such a pleasure.
>> It has been.
>> That was really fun.
>> It's been my pleasure.
>> And designers...
Michael, Mondo, jerell, Austin,
Kenley, Kara, it's been fun as
always.
We'll be here next week after an
all new Project Runway
all stars.
Good night, everybody.
Good night.
