Ep 8. Making a Splash

Project Runway All-Stars season 4 episode 8, named "Making a Splash," features the seven remaining designers facing a unique challenge - they must design a resort wear look inspired by the ocean. The designers are taken on a boat ride through New York's harbor to get an up-close look at the sea life and draw inspiration.

As they return to the workroom, they find a surprise waiting for them - their models have been replaced with real women who will be their clients for the challenge. The designers must take into account their clients' needs and preferences while also creating a cohesive look based on their ocean inspiration.

Mentor Anne Fulenwider and guest judge Gabrielle Union provide feedback throughout the challenge, urging the designers to take risks and push themselves creatively. As time ticks down, tensions rise as some designers struggle to complete their looks while others appear to be in the lead.

On the runway, each designer presents their resort wear look and explains the thought process behind the design. The judges critique each piece, taking into account the fit, fabric choice, and overall cohesiveness of the look.

In the end, one designer is deemed the winner of the challenge while another is sent home. The competition continues to heat up as the remaining designers are one step closer to becoming the all-star winner of Project Runway.
