00:01Tonight on the season finale of Project Runway All-Stars.
00:05Three months ago, winning designers from Australia, Brazil, Canada, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom
00:11joined American winners to showcase their talents in this global competition.
00:16Only four remain. Tonight we are going to crown the world champion.
00:21This is Project Runway All-Stars.
00:26Being the world champion of All-Stars would mean that you have the biggest badge in Project Runway history.
00:32Everybody wants it. We're all drooling for it.
00:35This would be such an honor to win something so big.
00:38It's anybody's game.
00:44We show up to the back route in our lift and we're all dressed up and this feels so fancy and amazing.
00:56Hi Alyssa. Hi.
01:00Hi. Good morning. Come in. Come in.
01:03How are you? I'm ready to start.
01:05I want to win. I want the prize and I want the title.
01:07You have made it to the finale of the international all-winners season of Project Runway All-Stars.
01:13Congratulations. Oh my goodness.
01:15I'm really freaking excited. I'm also nervous.
01:18I want to win this whole thing, but it's really steep competition. Really steep.
01:23Welcome to the stunning Baccarat Hotel.
01:27This glamorous environment should put you in the right mind to prepare for your final challenge.
01:33To create a collection with six looks and the specific theme can be whatever you want.
01:44Yes.
01:47Freedom.
01:48We can be 100% us and that's what fashion is about.
01:52Your budget is $3,000 each.
01:59And don't worry because you will get some support in the workroom.
02:02The final runway will be presented in front of a VIP fashion audience.
02:06And you have four days.
02:09I know it's going to be very special. I'm very proud of you guys.
02:12Have a great week.
02:15Bye you guys.
02:16Bye.
02:17I'm basing my collection on how I felt throughout this whole process.
02:20I've been super paranoid.
02:22I've been feeling entitled to wins that I didn't get.
02:25So I thought about conspiracy theories and the best ever is that the Queen of England is a reptile.
02:31And I like the two elements of regal and reptile.
02:34So my initial thought is to draw out some really long chic silhouettes and then figure out the texture I want to do and really wow and dazzle the judges like I promised them.
02:44I love art and thinking of Picasso and cubism and deconstructing shapes into just pure geometry.
02:53Like a really 3D sculptural collection that I might not be able to create in the real world.
03:00It's a risk but you know no good's no glory right?
03:06My collection is inspired by the 1970s Harvest Moon is one of my favorite albums by Neil Young and so I'm calling it Harvest Mood.
03:15I'm taking a lot of 70s silhouettes and doing layering of different materials to make them interesting and artistic and much more modern.
03:26When I was about 6 years old I just was sketching faces.
03:30I was obsessed with it and then shapes and forms and then it became fashion.
03:35So I start sketching this jacket.
03:38It's two faces, the profiles facing each other and then the sleeve it's almost like hair.
03:44It's very ambitious, it's very bold and that's what I want to show.
03:49Hey guys, let's go to the mood.
03:57Alright guys we have one hour.
03:59One hour.
04:03Oh man.
04:05Whatever sparkles grabs my attention.
04:07I need basics, I need shiny, I need that and that and that.
04:11No I'll just have that one, the black one.
04:14Let's do five and five of those laces please.
04:17I'm just going with my color scheme and picking out the different textures I need.
04:22Let's do five of each.
04:24How much cork was there?
04:25Three yards total.
04:26I really love cork.
04:27I've used it in this competition already and I'm gonna do it again for my final collection.
04:31I want the judges to know part of my DNA and I like unusual fabrics.
04:35Can I get four of these?
04:37The first shop at Mood, I saw this peach organza and she was like, hey girl.
04:43And I was like, hey girl.
04:45These are my favorite colors.
04:46It's time, peach organza.
04:48It's time to come to mama.
04:52Guys, it's time.
04:56Thank you, Mood.
04:57Thank you, Mood.
04:59I can't believe how much stuff I got.
05:01I can't even imagine.
05:09Oh, my original corner.
05:10Already, nothing next to Dima.
05:14Let's make a suit.
05:16I sketched out this suit that has this jacket with dragon sleeves.
05:20So I'm going to start there.
05:21I can just cut and go and add more, do more, make it move, make it splash.
05:29So I have to make six looks in four days.
05:38And in three days, we have a feeding.
05:40So I'll try to make two looks a day.
05:44So that's the plan, but it never works according to plan.
05:47When are we getting your help?
05:49Uh, Vidal, there's a little less than an hour.
05:51Okay.
05:52I'm back.
05:54Amazing.
05:55I didn't even really see you today.
05:56Irina spent the whole day in the brother's sewing room today.
06:01I have no idea what she's making.
06:03It's a brand new concept that I don't know exactly how it's going to pan out.
06:08Time to go, guys.
06:09Leaving the workroom, I definitely feel like I'm behind.
06:13You've done so much work, Irina.
06:15I'm going to punch you in the face.
06:17Keep walking.
06:18Coming up on Project Runway All-Stars.
06:23Look at that.
06:26It looks great, Michelle.
06:28Imagine doing a triple win.
06:29Oh, my goodness.
06:30There needs to be a little more of an ebb and flow.
06:32It's hard.
06:33You need to step it up.
06:34I'm worried about you.
06:35You need to step it up.
06:36I'm worried about you.
06:37Hey, Irina.
06:38I'm so happy.
06:39This is, oh, God.
06:40You're so colorful.
06:41I know.
06:42It matches you.
06:43I'm rested.
06:44I'm ready.
06:45Are you?
06:46I'm not at all.
06:47I'm not at all.
06:48I know.
06:49Sean Patrick Kelly is my helper, and I couldn't be more ecstatic.
06:52Yeah, I know the style that you've kind of been making.
06:54Yeah.
06:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:56We're friends.
06:57He understands me and what I'm trying to make.
07:00So we have four days to design a collection.
07:02It's six looks, right?
07:03It's six looks, right?
07:04Yeah.
07:05Yeah.
07:06Yeah.
07:07Yeah.
07:08Yeah.
07:09Yeah.
07:10Yeah.
07:11Yeah.
07:12Yeah.
07:13Yeah.
07:14Yeah.
07:15Yeah.
07:16Yeah.
07:17It's six looks.
07:18I'm Erin Robertson.
07:19I'm the winner of Project Runway Season 15.
07:21I'm Team Dimitri, and I love Dimitri's work.
07:24I think making someone design six looks in four days is rude.
07:28Straight up.
07:30I'm so happy you're here.
07:31Bye.
07:32I'm excited.
07:33I don't know who else I would even have, like, wanted to try to help me.
07:35I definitely got the helper I wanted.
07:37I love Christina.
07:38She's super talented, and I completely trust Christina's taste.
07:41I think it looks chic.
07:43I'm, like, building shape, so I started with this sort of triangle.
07:46Oh, wow.
07:47That's a lot.
07:48I am Mondo Guerra, and I am the winner of Project Runway All-Stars Season 1.
07:52I am very excited.
07:53It's Mondo, and I can really use the help.
07:55Mondo to the rescue.
07:57Designers.
07:58It was so great to see you on the runway last week, and I'm so happy to see all four of
08:16you in the final.
08:17Helpers, it's really good to see you, but I'd like you to take a break in the lounge, and
08:21I'm going to be talking to the finalists one by one.
08:24Look at these Michelle fabrics.
08:25I know, right?
08:26I love them.
08:27Tell me about what you were thinking with your collection.
08:29I'm kind of going for this 70s country moon goddess vibe.
08:32I'm really digging it.
08:33What's going on with this coat?
08:34What is it?
08:35How many fabrics are here?
08:36Three.
08:37Sequins, leather, and neoprene.
08:38Can I try it on?
08:39Yes, you should.
08:40Anne is so composed and always looks so beautiful, and here she is trying on my half-made garment.
08:46I feel like I might be going in the right direction.
08:48Look at that.
08:49Isn't that fun?
08:50It looks great, Michelle.
08:51And I was hoping to put it over this dress.
08:55So this is going to be one look.
08:56Yes.
08:57I'm going to take this off before I do something to it.
09:00This really has an elegance to it, partly in the length.
09:03Yeah.
09:04That's a really short dress, right?
09:06And yet it's very modest in some ways.
09:08The key to this collection will be the elegance that you bring to these very frumpy old fabrics.
09:14Mm-hmm.
09:15I'm excited, Michelle.
09:16Oh, good. Yay.
09:17Good luck.
09:18Hi, Dimitri.
09:19Hi, Anne.
09:20Imagine doing a triple win.
09:21Oh, my goodness.
09:22We all know you can do this.
09:23That's why there's so much pressure on you.
09:25A lot.
09:26So tell me about this beautiful red jacket.
09:28I wanted to make, like, a statement piece, almost like a sketch.
09:32Oh, this is genius.
09:33This looks pretty fabulous.
09:34Is it going to be sheer all the way to the top?
09:36I still have to think about the chest area.
09:38Mm-hmm.
09:39You know what I love, Dimitri, and I keep hoping you're going to bring it over?
09:42I love this.
09:43This collection so far, while extremely competent, is just lacking a little sexiness or some romance.
09:50Like, this has a romance to it.
09:52They're a little stiff.
09:53She thinks it's missing some spark, but she's going to get it.
09:57When it's all done, she's going to get it on that runway.
10:00So I had this idea of geometry, and I was thinking cubism and doing something sculptural and 3D.
10:07Very cool idea.
10:08So these, this sort of...
10:09Yeah, I have a million of them.
10:10Pyramids.
10:11I have a million of them.
10:12Pyramids.
10:13Going to be on here as well.
10:14Right.
10:15Sort of in a motif.
10:16The thing I'm a little concerned about is these two look too much the same.
10:19I mean, you've got sort of maybe, we're looking at possibly six solid primary colors.
10:24There needs to be a little more of an ebb and flow.
10:26I think she has a valid point, but how do you make six looks cohesive yet have a lot of variety?
10:33It's hard.
10:34Hi, Vidal.
10:35Hi, Anne.
10:36You said you wanted us to see the real you.
10:38So yeah, I've based it on royal reptiles.
10:41Okay.
10:42So this one is sort of like serpent lady, and it's also going to drape out here for some movement.
10:47This is like a cork sculptural little dress.
10:50Wow, it looks sort of insect-like too.
10:53Yeah.
10:54Creepy, cool.
10:55Creepy, cool.
10:56Okay, this is a jacket?
10:57Is it going to have sleeves?
10:58This is a jacket.
10:59Yeah, they're the same python printed leather.
11:01And then I've got all that royal purple.
11:08My biggest concern here is that it looks like well-constructed, well-tailored, Bedell-like
11:13pieces, but I don't see any cohesion at all.
11:17You need to step it up, okay?
11:19I'm worried about you.
11:20I'm all about being what you're not supposed to be.
11:23But you know what?
11:24I want to win, so I am going to listen to Anne, and I'm going to make my collection far more
11:28cohesive than it currently is.
11:31I can't even say the word right.
11:32Designers, it's been an honor to watch you progress over these past few weeks.
11:36And I will be backstage with you on Runway Day.
11:39See you at the finale.
11:44Hey, that felt like a lifetime.
11:47It was a lifetime.
11:48Some was good, some was okay.
11:51Just long done with us.
11:52I was really excited to come here.
11:54Bedell, you seem a little nervous.
11:56Oh, it's beyond.
11:57I've waited for this call ten years to get here.
12:00Doing this again is, like, invigorating.
12:02Bedell, you get the first place in the final.
12:05Whether I win or not, this will be my favorite collection I will have ever made to date.
12:11That's what really matters.
12:12This is the weakest link.
12:14I agree with you.
12:15We have one hour.
12:18One hour left.
12:19Jesus.
12:20I'm hoping to get all the silhouettes ready tonight.
12:24There's no plan.
12:25And anyone who says they have a plan is crazy because things take longer than expected always, at least for me.
12:32All right, guys.
12:33It's time.
12:34Let's go home.
12:43I have to make an armhole.
12:45It's the scariest part, but it feels really good after.
12:48This lace dress, it's complicated because of this endless motif.
12:52But Anne said that she really likes this fabric, so I have to create something with it.
12:57I just hope I'll have time.
12:59I like these pants.
13:01Let's find a place for them then.
13:03Creatively, I felt really stuck coming into this competition.
13:06But the challenges I've been most successful for have been the ones that are the most innovative and push things.
13:12It really is graphically stunning.
13:14It's innovative, but the idea actually means something to you.
13:19It's, like, really rough financially back home.
13:22I have many part-time jobs.
13:24I'm hustling every day.
13:26And winning is the only thing that's going to keep me in fashion.
13:31God, there's so much finishing to do.
13:33I know.
13:36How are you feeling, Irina?
13:37I'm just stressed.
13:38I have a lot of work to do.
13:40Are you having fun?
13:42Right now?
13:43No.
13:48You can do it.
13:49I know you can.
13:51Yeah, it's just this and there's a lot of other things, too.
13:54Oh, God.
14:01Coming up on Project Runway All-Stars.
14:04I'm very nervous.
14:06This sucks balls.
14:08Don't freak out.
14:09We're fine.
14:10You just styled it wrong.
14:11You think it just needs to be more like this.
14:13It looks sad.
14:19I'm just going to give you a hug.
14:20I'm good.
14:21You're so sweet.
14:23You're so good.
14:24Seriously, like, you know, like, how it is.
14:25I know how hard this is, right?
14:26But I've noticed that you've been distracted by something.
14:29There's just other family things that I'm worried about.
14:33I just had a rough night.
14:36My mom's dealing with breast cancer for the second time.
14:39On Monday, I had pet skin.
14:42The results is not good.
14:44Okay.
14:45It's much worsen.
14:47So, a little bit of a mess.
14:51I know.
14:52I need to just get it together.
14:54Thank you, Mando.
14:55I really appreciate it.
14:57I appreciate all the triangles.
14:59I know it's not the most fun thing in the world to do.
15:02This is your dream.
15:03I'm going to try to help you as much as I can.
15:11Hi!
15:12Oh, my God.
15:13There's so many of you.
15:14Ladies.
15:16So, it's reptilian royalty.
15:17We have a lot of bling.
15:18I definitely think I want to get shorter.
15:20I'm starting the collection with one of the most beautiful pieces and ending with one of the most beautiful pieces.
15:26It's so pretty.
15:27Yeah.
15:28A little bit more longer strides.
15:30Yeah.
15:31I want them to, like, slither.
15:32I'm, like, teaching them how to, like, walk and, like, do all of this stuff for me.
15:38It's kind of perfect.
15:39Suck it in.
15:40Right.
15:41One of the pants is too small.
15:43We're going to make another pair.
15:45I have so much work to do, so I can't focus on pants right now.
15:50It has to be shorter.
15:52Bye, guys!
15:53Bye!
15:54See you in a couple days.
16:00Are you making any big changes after the fitting?
16:02Yeah.
16:03I'm scrapping the birdie dress.
16:05Yes.
16:06No.
16:07Yes!
16:08To edit collections, you need to be able to see that something's not working and say no to it and don't fight it.
16:13The collection's going to be better, and because of that, I have a better opportunity to win.
16:17You just styled it wrong.
16:19You think it just needs to be more like this.
16:21It looks sad.
16:23Sorry, Michelle.
16:24I'll finish everything kaganab.
16:26What are you doing down there?
16:29Everything hurts.
16:31All right, guys.
16:32It's time to go.
16:35Hello.
16:36Hey, baby.
16:37Hi.
16:38I've got some news.
16:39What?
16:40Um.
16:41You only have me for three hours.
16:42This sucks.
16:43I know.
16:44Don't freak out.
16:45We're fine.
16:46Prioritize what you want me to do that you want out of your life.
16:48First thing we're facing.
16:49Yeah.
16:50Yeah.
16:51Yeah.
16:52Okay.
16:53If you need something.
16:54If you could finish both of these pants.
16:55Uh-huh.
16:56We have so much work to do.
16:57And three hours of health sort of sucks.
16:58But, you know, at this point, you'll take what you can get.
16:59It's like becoming my favorite dress.
17:01Being for the third time in the Project Runway, I'm very happy with everything what I've done

28:27Oh, my God, Vidal, congratulations.
28:43I feel sad.
28:44Oh.
28:45Hi, I'm Michelle Lesniak.
29:10Welcome to Harvest Mood, a textured, Baroque-inspired romance novel that starts off really nice
29:18and ends really naughty.
29:20Enjoy.
29:27Look at that fabric.
29:46That's amazing.
29:47Yeah.
29:48I used a lot of shine.
29:54I used a lot of shine.
30:01You're a lot of shine.
30:39I think this looks really fashion-forward.
30:42Oh, good. Thank you.
31:02It looks fantastic.
31:03Good luck.
31:04Thank you, Paul.
31:09Hello, everyone.
31:19My name is Mitry Sholokhov, and this collection is very personal for me.
31:25It's about my personal journey as an artist and as a human being.
31:29There's that red jacket.
31:44I love what you did with the pants.
31:45And what did you do to the bottom there?
31:59Because I felt like it's just a little bit too short.
32:01I love you.
32:03I love it.
32:06I love it.
32:11I love it.
32:20I love it.
33:21You know, I helped Irina all week, so of course I'm rooting for the home team.
33:28I'm torn between Michelle and Bedell because I feel like they're the ones that have more
33:31fresh ideas.
33:33You can really tell it's winners against winners.
33:36It's going to be very hard for the judges.
33:37Oh my goodness, you died in your hands.
33:43How are you guys?
33:49I'm so proud of you.
33:53Oh my God.
33:54I love it.
34:01That was amazing.
34:03How am I beautiful, Doris?
34:05I love you.
34:05I'm so proud of you.
34:08Thank you, Mom.
34:16Designers, three months ago, you returned to the runway as winners of your own seasons.
34:21You soared to new heights.
34:23Designers, we're going to critique each of you, and we're going to start with Irina.
34:28Bedell, Dimitri, and Michelle, please wait backstage.
34:41Irina, tell us the title of your collection and what it's all about.
34:44The title for this collection is Central Geometry.
34:47I love designing for a fearless woman.
34:51I think you did an incredible job.
34:53I love the last two looks.
34:55I think they're spectacularly beautiful.
34:57I think you really got this woman down.
35:00I did a lot of editing.
35:02For me, the most successful pieces is when you took this idea of your geometry and put
35:08it in this fragile fabric.
35:10It was emotional.
35:11And when it's in the felted wool, it becomes a little heavier, which is okay, but I think
35:17at times it didn't play quite as well.
35:20But for a week, it's extraordinary.
35:22It's evident how much work you've put into it.
35:25I really, really love the last looks, especially the white one.
35:29I just felt, as well as it being very fragile, it was kind of androgynous, which I love.
35:35What makes this collection so successful is that you showed every single one of your techniques.
35:43And the white pantsuit was so impactful coming down the runway.
35:47I could hear people behind me gasp, just so you know.
35:52I'm just super proud of you.
35:56Obviously, I want to win.
35:57I think I can win.
35:58I have, I think, the strongest collection out of this bunch, for sure.
36:02So, Bedell, tell us about the theme of your collection, please.
36:09Do you know of this conspiracy theory of the Queen of England is a reptile?
36:13People believe this.
36:14And it's ridiculous, but it's fun to think about.
36:17And I thought about, like, the textures and the sort of, like, elegance that come from that
36:21concept, and I just ran with it.
36:23You really captured a kind of regalness here.
36:27It felt just a little bit more cohesive, those three.
36:30Something about that frock coat there, it brings it down.
36:33Like, that's for someone who will wear anything.
36:36I actually have written down next to it, I would wear this.
36:40I really, I really loved that because it just felt so rock and roll.
36:45I think your bodycon dress is so beautiful, and obviously super wearable, super flattering.
36:51I just think you did a really good job, Bedell.
36:54I'm really proud of what I've made here.
36:56It's very cool.
36:57There is a story happening, and I like this story.
37:02Michelle, tell us about the title and theme of your collection.
37:06The title is Harvest Mood, after my favorite album, Harvest Moon, by Neil Young.
37:12So I'm channeling a Baroque 1970s textural-inspired romance novel.
37:18The first dress and the last dress, to me, are like pillars of beauty.
37:23There's such an identity here.
37:24It couldn't be done by anyone else.
37:26I think you, like, hit it out of the park.
37:29Your clothes have a lot of humor in them, and they have a lot of fun in them, too.
37:32That first dress is so beautiful with all the fabric placement.
37:35The green coat, I think, is wonderful and has personality.
37:39I love that green coat.
37:40That's fantastic.
37:42This dress, best thing you've ever done.
37:45And the color palette of your collection is gorgeous.
37:50Great job all season.
37:51Thank you so much for your work.
37:53What's running on this last chance is my career and also my family.
37:58My husband and I are struggling, and this is not just a win for me.
38:03It's a win for us.
38:04And so that's weighing really heavy on me.
38:10Dimitri, tell us about the theme of your collection.
38:15This is very personal for me.
38:19I really looked into myself, and that's what I wanted to show in my collection.
38:31My journey as an artist and a human being.
38:35It's truly a beautiful collection, and it's so ambitious.
38:39These pieces are pretty masterful.
38:41This first look is just so marvelous and wonderful.
38:45I adore that.
38:46It has this modernity.
38:48It has wit.
38:49What I really love is how these cutouts look like her hair going down her arms.
38:54It's just so thoughtful.
38:56I love the silhouette of the second one.
38:58The third one, the one thing that throws me, I wish we didn't see her navel.
39:01I'm with Georgina about that dress.
39:03But what you lack there, you make up for madly, madly, madly with these pants.
39:11I can't believe no one ever thought of that idea, to have, like, the tuxedo stripe just missing.
39:16That's fabulous.
39:17I feel like the final dress is stenciled onto her body.
39:20Yeah, there is no seam.
39:21It was pretty much molded on her.
39:24And the second last piece I would love to wear on a red carpet.
39:28It looks like a sock garter, but on the arm, it's just so gorgeous, and that beadwork is amazing.
39:34And I like the fact that you did this very exaggerated ruffle that balanced out the exaggerated sleeve.
39:43Thank you, Dimitri, and thank you to your models.
39:45I'm not nervous at all.
39:47My collection is beyond my expectations.
39:50It's art, and that's what I wanted to do.
39:55Designers, you've produced four impressive collections.
39:58But as you know, there can only be one world champion.
40:01World champion, I like it.
40:03Cool, right?
40:04It has a ring to it, darling.
40:06The judges and I are now going to deliberate.
40:08So please wait in the backstage lounge.
40:15The winner of Project Runway All-Stars will collaborate with JCPenney on a capsule collection
40:20as part of the Project Runway line to be sold at select JCPenney stores and online.
40:26An editorial and photo spread in Marie Claire magazine and a position as guest editor for one year.
40:32The opportunity to create a signature nail color and an inspiring trip for two to London, England
40:37from luxury makeup brand Butter London.
40:39A selection of brother sewing and embroidery machines valued at $40,000.
40:44And to elevate their business and build their brand, a cash prize of $100,000.
40:52What a finale.
40:53Amazing.
40:54I can't believe they did it in such a short time.
40:56Unbelievable.
40:57It's going to be really hard.
40:58I'd like to start with Bedell.
41:00I like that he takes risks.
41:01I like that he tells a story with his clothes that it is super specific to his own taste
41:07and his own aesthetic.
41:08Those cork pants were amazing.
41:10Absolutely.
41:11I will say that this thing we keep commending him for, doing his thing,
41:16personally, it's a thing I don't, like, kind of love.
41:19It kind of lacked finesse, I think.
41:21That's exactly it.
41:23It wasn't fantastical enough to transport you to this other place,
41:26and yet it wasn't real enough to believe it as a fashion show.
41:30And I think that's where my problem with it lay.
41:34Let's move on to Arena.
41:37Hers was really clean and really concise.
41:40And very cohesive.
41:41I felt it had a modern freshness.
41:44My favorite pieces were the more fragile pieces.
41:47They almost looked like cobwebs, those pieces.
41:50I thought that white suit was really beautiful.
41:52Beautiful.
41:52It was so beautiful.
41:53It had a lightness to it.
41:55To me, the only thing that stood out was that yellow dress.
42:00Yeah, me too.
42:00I didn't feel it was exactly right with the rest of it.
42:05We're moving on to Dimitri.
42:07That beaded thing was one of the most beautiful things I ever saw in the show.
42:11And also, I think that first jacket was divine.
42:14Absolutely surreal.
42:15Yeah, that was divine.
42:15With those pants, those incredible tuxedo pants, absolutely right.
42:20That was so genius, having the faces with the hair down the arms.
42:23I just thought that was amazing.
42:25It was wonderful.
42:26Every piece was something that you would go out feeling, like, you know, really powerful in.
42:32The kind of critical eye is there.
42:35But maybe he suffers from that just a little bit.
42:37Like, to me, that collection was just a little dry as a bone.
42:40I wanted just more from Dimitri.
42:45Let's talk about Michelle.
42:47I love Michelle's girl.
42:49I love this bohemian rock chick that has a sensitive side.
42:54Me too.
42:55I like the ease of it, and I relate mostly to that designer personally, you know.
43:01I love her pieces so much.
43:03I like Michelle's woman.
43:05These two looks where she mixed the fabrications, I think, are gorgeous.
43:11Gorgeous.
43:12I just, it lacked a little bit of polish for me.
43:15That was my issue with it.
43:16I think Michelle is just a little more interesting.
43:18I get what you're saying.
43:19I'm really torn between...
43:25Me too.
43:25Me too.
43:26I'm totally torn between Michelle and Dimitri.
43:28I'm not kidding you.
43:29Why?
43:29Why can't it be Irina?
43:30It could be Irina.
43:32Irina had more successful looks consistently.
43:35I disagree with that.
43:36Dimitri today gave us something totally different in his runway, which shows to me that he has
43:42breadth and he has strength.
43:44For me tonight, the more kind of edgy, interesting outcome was Michelle.
43:50Andrea?
43:55Have we made our decision?
43:58Yes.
43:59Let's call him back out.
44:10Michelle, Dimitri, Bedell.
44:14You will all always be season winners, but only one of you will be awarded the Project
44:20Runway All-Stars World title.
44:25The first designer to be eliminated is...
44:35Bedell.
44:38It was a pleasure.
44:38Thank you for all your hard work.
44:40You can leave the runway.
44:41Thank you, Bedell.
44:43Good luck, guys.
44:45Good luck.
44:46It's just been such a long road.
44:48It was like way more out of my comfort zone than I thought it would be, but I'm happy I
44:54did what I did.
44:55The next designer to be eliminated is...
44:56The next designer to be eliminated is...
45:03Irina.
45:06Thank you for all your hard work.
45:08This is a lot of friggin' work.
45:11I think I'm a lot stronger, and I feel very good about myself for doing exactly what I wanted
45:18to do.
45:19And now we are down to two amazing designers and the moment we've all been waiting for.
45:27The winner of Project Runway All-Stars World Championship is...
45:34Michelle.
45:35Michelle?
45:36No.
45:37No.
45:40No way.
45:45Dimitri, you have so much to be proud of.
45:46And we wish you all the best.
45:48You can leave the runway.
45:50I love Michelle, but you can't compare what Michelle put out there.
46:09Not technically, not creatively.
46:12My pieces were masterpieces.
46:13Holy cow, it's incredible.
46:16I've never felt this emotionally exhausted in my life.
