It's Week Six of Project Runway All Stars, and "Faux Heidi," aka the host formerly known as Angela Lindvall, comes onstage carrying eight totes. Unfortunately, this doesn't mean she's quitting the show to pursue a career as a bag lady. Rather it's to kick off this week's challenge. Each designer picks a tote with a luggage tag emblazoned with one of the seasons of the year. These are then used to pair the designers up—but not into teams. Instead they'll be competing head to head, with each creating sportswear for a seasonal weekend getaway look. So it's four fashion face-offs.
The teams are Austin versus Kara for spring, Mondo versus Kenley for summer, Rami versus Mila for autumn, and Jerrell versus Michael for winter. Everything goes boringly smoothly until Michael changes his design midway through and starts creating a gray oversized jacket ensemble, which is suspiciously like the one Jerrell was already working on. Mondo blames Jerrell's non-stop complaints on sour grapes over Michael having already won two challenges. Eventually mentor Joanna Coles gets drawn into it, and oddly enough, her attitude seems to be one that endorses plagiarism. Perhaps Anna Wintour should start reading Marie Claire carefully.
