Project Runway All Stars recap: The designers undress innocent bystanders in Central Park, and Sean Avery’s uptown, downtown, and midtown thoughts about the winning outfit
The Rather Good Challenge
Getting them out of the halogen-lit 1407 Broadway building, this episode saw the All Stars convincing Central Park passers-by to fork over their outfits so they could create a look that was at least 50 per cent found material. The designers face the challenge with aplomb, Anthony amping his usual energy way up, joyfully assaulting a woman in a colourful print top.

In what was obviously just a conniving way of de-panting that sweaty muffin in the park, Anthony somehow managed to turn Austin into a blithering sissy, holding his boater in front of the gentleman’s much-scrutinized briefs. Thank goodness for Austin’s ability to take a tawdry moment and make it a poncey one. Can You Imagine Austin’s Date With That Guy? +80
It ends with Austin throwing his digestif in the guy’s face and declaring himself “not that kind of gentleman!” before wobbling away on his high wheeler.
