After 12 episodes of “Project Runway All Stars” season 6, the show is down to its 3 finalists: Fabio Costa, Stanley Hudson and Anthony Williams. But what about the 13 contestants who came and went along the way? Our readers didn’t see eye-to-eye with the judges about multiple eliminations, so if they had their say we might have ended up with quite a different finale lineup. Which eliminated contestant would you most like to bring back to the show? Scroll down to vote in our poll at the bottom of this post.
The elimination that shocked “Runway” fans the most was arguably Amanda Valentine, who according to our early polling was the front-runner to win the entire season. She went out in 11th place in “Fashion’s New Superheroes,” and an overwhelming majority of our readers thought the judges made the wrong call.

“Project Runway All Stars” eliminated Helen Castillo in Thursday night’s episode, “Rock Your Face Off.” That leaves five designers in the competition: Fabio Costa, Stanley Hudson, Ken Laurence, Edmond Newton and Anthony Williams. All five of them are men, which is not only unusual but historic. This is the first time one gender has swept the top five in the history of “Runway” — not just the 6 seasons of “All Stars,” but also the 16 seasons of the original series.
It’s all the more surprising in this season of “All Stars” because the women actually started out with the numbers advantage. There were an even 16 contestants at the start of the competition, but 9 were women while only 7 were men. However, over the course of the last 10 episodes all 9 women were eliminated compared to only 2 men who suffered the same fate. Carlos Casanova was booted in the season premiere, and then...

Helen Castillo is the last woman standing in season six of “Project Runway All Stars.” Is there a chance she could win the whole competition, or is she doomed to be eliminated just like every other woman on the show?
The season started with 16 contestants: 9 women and 7 men. After 8 episodes the show is down to 1 woman and 6 men. Carlos Casanova was eliminated in the season premiere episode, but then the women were picked off one-by-one: Kelly Dempsey in “Damsels in Distress,” then Ari South and Melissa Fleis in “Perfect Pairings,” Candice Cuoco in “Balls Out,” Amanda Valentine in “Fashion’s New Superheroes,” Char Glover in “Thrown for a Loop by Betty Boop,” Kimberly Goldson in “A Kick in the Astro” and Merline Labissiere in “Mizrahi Madness.”

Season six of “Project Runway All Stars” is ostensibly a battle between veterans who have appeared on “All Stars” before and rookies who are competing in this spin-off series for the first time. However, after five weeks of competition we’ve seen a different competitive split: between men and women. And it’s not looking good for the women so far. The female designers have been dropping like flies.
The season started with 16 designers overall: 7 men and 9 women. But the early results have been lopsided. Five out of six eliminations thus far have been women, while five of the six design challenge winners have been men. At least one of those eliminations was a surprise: Amanda Valentine was the front-runner to win the competition according to our racetrack odds going into “Fashion’s New Superheroes,” but she was eliminated, which 93% of our readers disagreed with. She followed Kelly Dempsey who...

It was only a matter of time before the designers on “Project Runway All Stars” were faced with a dreaded unconventional-materials challenge. On Thursday night, January 25, the remaining 12 competitors used a variety of balls to construct their own unique ball gowns. So who created the ballsiest looks, and who was told to take their ball and go home? Scroll down for our live, minute-by-minute recap of season six, episode four, “Balls Out.”
This week’s show followed an especially dramatic third episode, “Perfect Pairings,” in which the designers were teamed up to collaborate on looks inspired by food-and-wine pairings. There were two winners of that challenge: Fabio Costa and Ken Laurence. But that means there was also a losing team, Melissa Fleis and Ari South, and they were both sent home in a double elimination.
The team that narrowly avoided elimination was Candice Cuoco and Merline Labissiere. They struggled to...

Is Merline Labissiere at risk of elimination in episode four of “Project Runway All Stars” tonight? This time last week we thought she was the front-runner to win the whole competition, but after struggling in the episode three challenge, “Perfect Pairings,” are readers aren’t so sure she’ll even stick around.
Every week we poll “Project Runway” fans to find out who they think will win season six of this design show spin-off, who will win the design challenge, and who will be eliminated. But according those combined predictions, it’s actually Stanley Hudson who is the likeliest to be eliminated from the competition. He gets leading odds of 17/10, which translates to a 36.75% chance of going home.
This is actually the third week in a row we’ve predicted him to be sent home. In episode two, “Damsels in Distress,” he did come close to elimination. He landed in...

On Thursday's finale of Project Runway Season 10, the final four designers showed their collections at Fashion Week after receiving harsh criticism from the judges that they needed to overhaul their collections.
In the end, former ballroom dancer-turned-designer Dmitry Sholokhov from Belarus took home the crown, beating out Fabio Costa, Melissa Fleis and Christopher Palu. His collection was inspired by organic architecture and featured strong geometric shapes and textiles that the judges deemed luxurious, editorial and highly commercial.

Which Project Runway contestant conquered Fashion Week this season? After being under the Gunn for months, tensions were high as Fabio Costa, Melissa Fleis, Christopher Palu and Dmitry Sholokov put the finishing touches on the most important collections of their lives, dreams of winning all those fun Project Runway prizes dancing in their heads. Fabio had to worry about making his clothes look luxurious, Melissa was under pressure to show more than black and white, Christopher didn't want to put the judges to sleep again, and Dmitry was warned about his looks crossing into matron territory. Christopher, especially, was getting snippy while contemplating whether he should create brand-new pieces...

Lifetime's "Project Runway" ends its 10th season Thursday, Oct. 18, as it began it -- with a huge New York event.
The season premiered with a Times Square fashion show and ends with another, at Lincoln Center during Fashion Week. Since this happened in September, when there were eight contestants, each presented 10 looks.
Zap2it picked five of the most representative, which included high-glamour and high-concept, and "Project Runway" judge and Marie Claire Fashion Director Nina Garcia weighs in on the creations.

It's easy to imagine Katharine Hepburn in Ven Budhu's white palazzo pants, topped with a red stain bustier. His creations honor old Hollywood glamour.

In case there was any doubt that it's Fashion Week in New York, a glance around Lincoln Center reminds. Here, the usual skinny -- social X-rays who attend opera and ballet by night -- are replaced by the fashionista skinny, models who look as if they not had a good meal in, well, years.
Tourists line up, cameras poised. More proof that "Project Runway" remains a phenomenon in its 10th season is how hot this ticket is, how many layers of security even invited guests go through and how many fans wait outside, just for a glimpse.
The season finale is a fashion show, and at Fashion Week it takes on a patina. Inside the theater, the hosts and guest host, walk the runway to pose in front of banks of photographers. Judge and producer Heidi Klum rocks a draped, sequined, backless dress, and looks remarkable, even more so for a mother of four.
