Project Runway All Stars recap: The designers head to Broadway, Isaac and Austin have a catwalk catfight, and Kara gets the boot
In a surprise that really wasn’t a surprise, this week’s episode of All Stars saw the gang contending with the best, most All Star-ish challenge yet. I can’t lie, this challenge got my heart a-racing and my feet a-tapping, because I, like Austin, love Broadway: the marquees, the plush seats, the promise of grins that won’t quit.

Project Runway All Stars recap: Gelato gowns for Miranda Kerr?
Photo by David M. Russell/Lifetime Things took a porcine turn last episode, so I was thrilled to see the Project Runway producers go a little softer (or maybe soft serve?) on the All Stars this week, plying them with stupidly named gelato flavors before slapping them with their dubious challenge.

Project Runway All Stars recap: Our feelings on Michael’s win, Miss Piggy’s karate chop, Mondo’s lollipop necklace, and Gordana’s cheerful loss
After last week’s suspiciously reasonable challenge, I worried about what the All Stars were going to have to reckon with next time around. Lo, my instincts proved accurate, for this week’s challenge must be one of, if not the most, spirit-crushing challenges in Project Runway’s sordid history.

Project Runway All Stars recap: Our feelings on Austin’s win, April’s blood ombré, Kara’s hand gestures, and Georgina Chapman’s nude lipstick
As I crawled into my burrow to watch this week’s All Stars, it occurred to me that I was perhaps approaching the new/old cast with too much unwarranted resentment. I know that you know just how difficult it is to resuscitate an old love for the formerly eliminated—that’s why we appreciate being given a blank slate with each new season of Project Runway Old School. This week was a lesson in moving on, not just for me, but for the contestants. Really, it’s not so difficult to see one another with fresh eyes! All that’s needed are new bangs, and the most affecting change of all: editing.

Project Runway All Stars recap: We chart our feelings throughout the best and worst moments from the premiere
In the New Testament world of Project Runway All Stars, losers from seasons past are being judged anew. Eleven of the contestants will be deemed unworthy for a second time*, and one will claw his or her way to redemption—and a brand new technology suite from HP! Is it worth it? I can’t tell. Now, into the tense and cosseted world of Project Runway All Stars!
*Technically, Anthony has already lost twice, bless his heart.

Paris notes: Headline-grabbing models are the biggest trend in Paris [gallery]
Photography by Peter Stigter One of the biggest trends of this Paris runway season has nothing to do with the clothes. Veteran and novelty models have appeared at many shows: Yasmin Le Bon and Angela Lindvall at John Galliano, Amber Valletta, Stella Tennant and Gisele Bündchen at Balenciaga, Anna Dello Russo at Ungaro. But nowhere was the headline-grabbing model message stronger than at Jean Paul Gaultier, who opened and closed his show with the buxom Beth Ditto. The thing about putting larger women on the runway alongside regular models–it always makes the skinny girls look so wrong.
