## Panel and format

## Challenges and episodes
The season's challenges mixed personal inspiration, client work, and unconventional materials. The premiere, "What Makes an All Star?"

## Finale
The finale, "New York State of Mind" (May 5, 2016), challenged the remaining designers to create collections inspired by New York.[6](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/4595/project-runway-all-stars/episodeguide) Three designers reached the final: Ken Laurence and Dom Streater, both from *Project Runway* season 12, and Kini Zamora from season 13.[5](https://www.tvline.com/news/project-runway-all-stars-recap-dom-streater-wins-season-5-finale-winner-710749/) Dom Streater's collection drew on the "shock to her senses" she experienced when she first came to New York; judge Isaac Mizrahi said he got "emotional" over her work, and the majority of the panel, including guest judge [Debra Messing](https://www.edgepedia.org/debra-messing), felt her finale piece was not quite finished, though Milano disagreed.[5](https://www.tvline.com/news/project-runway-all-stars-recap-dom-streater-wins-season-5-finale-winner-710749/) Streater was named the winner, with Laurence taking second and Zamora third.[5](https://www.tvline.com/news/project-runway-all-stars-recap-dom-streater-wins-season-5-finale-winner-710749/) As a season 12 champion who had already won the original series, her All Stars victory made her a two-time winner in the franchise.[5](https://www.tvline.com/news/project-runway-all-stars-recap-dom-streater-wins-season-5-finale-winner-710749/)
