Ep 6. Pedal To The Metal

In Project Runway All Stars season 7 episode 6, titled "Pedal To The Metal," the remaining designers are challenged to create a high-end streetwear look for a New York City girl on the go. The catch? They must use automotive parts and materials as their inspiration and incorporate them into their designs.

As the designers sketch out their ideas, they learn that they will have access to a wide array of car parts, ranging from seat belts to tires, to use in their creations. The challenge quickly becomes more daunting as the designers realize they must balance incorporating these materials into their designs while also creating a cohesive and stylish look.

To help inspire and guide the designers, guest judge and fashion editor of Car and Driver magazine, Myles Kovacs, joins the panel. He provides insight into automotive design and how it can translate into fashion.

As the designers work on their garments, there are some struggles. One designer is unsure how to incorporate car parts into their outfit, while another is having trouble bringing their inspiration to life. Tim Gunn, the designers' mentor, provides guidance and encouragement, but it remains up to the designers to get their creations finished in time for the runway show.

On the day of the runway, the designers present their looks to the judges, which include regulars Alyssa Milano, Georgina Chapman, and Isaac Mizrahi, as well as guest judge Myles Kovacs. The judges weigh in on both the design and the skill level needed to incorporate the automobile materials into the creation.

After deliberation, one designer is deemed the challenge winner, with a design that perfectly incorporates automotive materials into a stylish and wearable look. Another designer is sent home for creating a garment that missed the mark in terms of design and incorporating the challenge materials.

Overall, "Pedal To The Metal" is a challenging episode for the Project Runway All Stars designers as they are tasked with translating automotive design into high-end streetwear. The designers must walk a fine line between incorporating the challenge materials while also creating a cohesive and stylish look, ultimately leading to some stunning and unique creations on the runway.
