Episodes
Episode 1: Redemption on the Runway
Original airdate: October 25, 2012
The designers are split into two teams, and are tasked with creating collections inspired by a word selected from a board; one team chooses "Confident" as their inspiration, while the other team chooses "Bold." Team "Confident" wins the challenge, which means that the loser will be from Team "Bold." Laura Kathleen, a member of Team "Bold", is told that she had the strongest design on the losing team, and had Team "Bold" beaten Team "Confident" she might have been the winner of the challenge.

Team Members (in the order of being chosen)
Confident
Kayne, Uli, Casanova, Ivy, Althea, Anthony Ryan, Wendy
The designers arrive at the Nine West showroom in Manhattan, where they each are given the opportunity to select a shoe from the upcoming collection to serve as their aesthetic starting point for the challenge, which is revealed to be creating a glamorous look for a night out on the town, inspired by the concept of "Disco".
Guest Judge: Rafe Totengco
WINNER: Uli
ELIMINATED: Wendy
Episode 3: Up Your Aerosol
Original airdate: November 8, 2012
The designers are challenged to create "wearable art" using graffiti art as an inspiration. They are given a chance to create their own print with crate of spray paint, and 7 yards of a choice of cotton or chiffon fabric.
With the first ever interactive challenge, the designers are instructed to choose a picture submitted via Twitter by a Project Runway fan as inspiration for a dress. Many viewers came from all different places of the world. The winning designer & look would be featured in an editorial issue of USA Today.
The designers are instructed to create an avant-gardeandrogynous look for their models. The day after, they are surprised with male models and are given an extra day to create a second look for the male model. The judges compare the looks side by side as they walk down the Runway together.
The designers are brought to "The High Line" and are given the task to create an evening gown using Green Fabrics with prints or solid colors that were given to them. After selecting their fabrics, the designers are then allowed to use extra accessories or trimmings that were used by the designers in past challenges. The winning design is to be worn by Carolyn Murphy at a Red Carpet event.
Episode 7: An Unconventional Nightmare before Christmas
Original airdate: December 13, 2012
The seven still-standing designers take on an unconventional challenge of creating a look from items found in a Christmas novelty store, with the added twist that the dress cannot look like something inspired by or relating to Christmas.
The six remaining designers are challenged in a "Fashion Face Off" to design an outfit modernizing the Roaring 20's. The designers go head to head against each other in teams of two.
Anthony Ryan vs. Ivy
Laura Kathleen vs. Uli
Emilio vs. Joshua
Winning Designers in bold.
Note: Although Emilio's design was named the winning design of his and Joshua's challenge, the judges also considered Joshua's work very good, and therefore didn't consider him for elimination. Conversely, although Emilio had the high score between him and Joshua, his design wasn't considered quite as good as Anthony Ryan's or Uli's, and the judges agreed during their deliberation that he was not the winner. Ivy makes history in Project Runway by surviving three consecutive Bottom Two appearances.
The five remaining All Stars must create a ready to wear look while also meeting a retail budget of $500–$700. The winning design would be displayed in the store windows of Elie Tahari & manufactured and sold, with profits going to Save the Garment Center.
The Project Runway designers pay their tribute to the armed forces! The four remaining designers are paired with four female veterans from an array of different military branches. The designers will have to battle it out to see who can create a design that best suits each veteran for each of the special events they are attending.
The designers go international! For the first time ever in Project Runway history, the designers retire sketching at 1407 for a day of sketching in Paris at the Eiffel tower! The designers also get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to tour the Valentino atelier and showrooms, and are also invited to a private preview of Valentino's Couture show by creative directors Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli. With all of their newly acquired Parisian knowledge, the designers return to NYC to design a couture gown of their own that will hopefully secure their spot in the finale!
The three remaining designers compete in the final for a chance to win a life-altering grand prize! However, because this is All Stars, the final three designers only get four days and an hour and a half at Mood, to complete a full mini collection. With the help of previously eliminated designers, the final three duke it out and give it all they've got to prove who Project Runway's true All Star is.
