Ep 5. On The Prowl

In Project Runway All Stars season 7 episode 5, titled "On The Prowl", designers are tasked with creating a bold and fierce outerwear look inspired by the patterns and textures of animals. The challenge is presented by special guest judge Martha Hunt, a model and animal rights activist.

In the workroom, tensions run high as designers struggle to bring their vision to life while also incorporating animalistic elements into their designs. Some designers, like Evan Biddell, embrace the challenge and use animal prints and textures in unexpected ways. Others, like Michelle Lesniak and Dmitry Sholokhov, struggle to find the right balance between animal-inspired design and tasteful execution.

As the designers work and Tim Gunn makes his rounds, it becomes clear that this challenge is pushing all of them to their limits. Some struggle with fit and construction, while others grapple with finding the right fabrics and accessories to bring their vision to life.

At the runway show, the judges are impressed by the creativity and ingenuity of the designers' designs. Many of the designers manage to incorporate animal prints and textures into their designs in innovative and unexpected ways. Some of the standout designs include Anthony Ryan's black and white leopard print coat, Evan Biddell's colorful cheetah print jacket, and Irina Shabayeva's dramatic red cape with a faux fur collar.

However, not all of the designers are able to deliver a strong look. Some, like Michelle Lesniak and Dmitry Sholokhov, fall short in terms of execution and fail to impress the judges with their designs. Even the most successful designers are not immune to criticism, however, as guest judge Martha Hunt and regular judges Isaac Mizrahi and Georgina Chapman do not shy away from pointing out flaws in the designs.

In the end, one designer is declared the winner of the challenge, while another is sent home. The judges praise the winner's ingenuity and boldness in incorporating animal prints and textures into their design, while the eliminated designer is criticized for their lack of cohesion and poor execution.

Overall, "On The Prowl" proves to be a challenging and exhilarating episode of Project Runway All Stars, showcasing the creativity and skill of the designers as they push themselves to create fierce and eye-catching outerwear designs.
