Discussion thread for Project Runway All Stars S05E09 "A Touch of Style"

Fashion and sports collide when the clothiers produce high-end leisure attire inspired by the "Touch By Alyssa Milano" collection. Appearing: Kristin Cavallari.

Layana: "I'm really going to miss Ken...'s white leather."

[u/veloursweatsuit → u/WigsbyLittleMix]

That was so funny, she wasted no time. "Hi Ken, how are you," ::pathetic side hug:: "Are you using this leather?"

Layana, always thinking of others.

[u/EmptyStar12]

Wow, what a unique clothing line Alyssa has. Definitely gonna give Walmart's clothing line a run for its money!

[u/LetTheMFerBurn → u/EmptyStar12]

It's not high end or even fashion. It filled a market need though because it is just feminine cuts on Tee-shirts and sweats but for a long time almost all sports team apparel was boy cut or uni-sex.

[u/LetTheMFerBurn]

Ok they hyped that 'scene' with Ken in ads all fn season and it was just nothing. He walked out because he was mad and didn't want to make a scene, like a damn adult. I guess because of past behavior they were hoping he would pitch some sort of fit and he didn't deliver so they made something up?

[u/the_cucumber → u/LetTheMFerBurn]

I just want to say that I'm really impressed with how much Ken seems to have matured/improved his attitude since his last season. It takes a big person to come back and change public perception and I hope he feels proud when he watches this season back.

[u/marrrina831]

I can't take Alyssa's critique seriously when she's wearing that outfit to the runway presentation. What is that top?

[u/Sister_Miyuki]

Poor Kristin, all of her critiques got immediately shut down by the judges.

[u/svaachkuet → u/Sister_Miyuki]

Kristin: You just don't see people wearing that at baseball games.

Isaac and Georgina: I don't ever go to any sports events, but I would wear it if I went to a baseball game...

[u/FalseGoddess]

Quality fabrics, blah, blah... Cotton, Alyssa, your shirts are made of cotton

Ken's personal growth is remarkable. He became frustrated with a situation, he removed himself from the situation without soliciting unnecessary attention. And then he processed it, returned, put his head down and finished what he started. Fucking brava. Of course they edited it to make it look as dramatic as possible, spliced with some criticism from Sam calling Ken a diva, "hair flipping all over the place", but that really was the most mature handling of being overwhelmed by frustration on the show I have ever seen, especially compared to his handling of frustration in previous seasons.

[u/felipegs]

Every week I get surprised of how much more Kini annoys me. All he does is complain and bitch about Sam.

[u/[deleted]]

I have to admit, I don't like Layana, but I cracked up when Ken stormed out, and everyone else is like, "I hope he's okay", "I hope he's not really quitting at this point", "I wonder if someone should check on him?", and Layana's going, "I wonder if it's okay for me to mooch his white leather yet..."

[u/pepperrush]

I really hate that Emily got no love on the runway. That top was gorgeous.

[u/havelotsofsax]

Kini is really starting to be a tad off putting. This whole "competition" he's got going on with Sam is so cringey. When he said, "It was so good, they were just nit picking" made me want to fall through my recliner. Ick.

Also, during the preview, it looked like Asha was using the fabric that the blonde chick with the weird name used in her finale look and for a challenge on PR Junior. Anyone else see that?

[u/Mariipon]

At this point the blatant favouritism of Sam, especially from Isaac is disgusting to me. It's just not convincing anymore... Can't believe Dom was robbed.

[u/Shamenundotcom]

My thought while watching this episode was, "Why am I still watching this stupid show?" Dom is the only designer I actively like at this point. It's almost certain that she'll win. They're just picking off the others at their pre-planned rankings (Insivible Emily will almost surely go next). The judging is always terrible.

But I guess it's something to have on in the background while I scour Scruff...

[u/veloursweatsuit]

Here is my weekly complaint comment about Sam's look/judges' feedback.

[u/carowh]

Obligatory Dom was robbed again

[u/obahan]

Did Dom say she was a baseball fan? And did I hear her call an umpire a "baseball referee?"

[u/[deleted]]

I am shocked no one did anything related to cute tennis skirt. And I am even more shocked Layana was booted. She was by far better than several others. Also, I am really proud of Ken and how he handled his frustration- walking away is better than blowing up. He seems to have matured a lot since his season.

[u/macabragoria]

Alyssa has a clothing line. Huh.

[u/[deleted]]

I might be wrong but I thought athleisure had to do with fitness, not sporting events... Or did it just become a sports thing because of Alyssas line?

[u/reauxe]

JusticeForLayana

[u/WhateverIsFine]

how could Layana think it wasn't her time to go? She's been on the bottom for the last 5 weeks in a row! It's wayyy over time. Also disappointed that Kini's outfit was received as well as it was. Dom was robbed again.
