Season 12

For the 12th season of Project Runway, die-hard "FAN-addicts" of the show got to experience the show like never before.

Marking a series first, Project Runway fans were able to interact with viewers across America in real-time during each episode through an interactive on-screen feature, PlayRunway, empowering fans to use their smartphones, tablets and computers to share their reactions to episode storylines, design challenges and decisions by judges Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia and Zac Posen, and mentor Tim Gunn.

Additional new fan integration elements included:

Runway Redemption (#RunwayRedemption) - a mystery contestant from a past season, chosen by fans on mylifetime.com, was unveiled as the 16th designer for season 12.

Project Runway Superfan Contest - via video submissions, seven super fans were chosen to be featured in an upcoming episode this season for a fashion makeover.

More Tim Gunn - fans have asked and Project Runway has delivered. This season, Gunn will join Klum and the judges to watch the runway show, answer questions the judges have about what transpired in the workroom and give them an opportunity to physically examine the workmanship of each design.

Also, for the first time in Project Runway history, Gunn will be able to "rescue" one designer during course of the season he feels deserves a second chance.

A number of high-profile guest judges are set to join Project Runway this cycle, including actress and model Kate Bosworth, fashionista Kelly Osbourne, actress and comedienne Allison Williams, multiple Academy Award, Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Sigourney Weaver, TV stars Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Kaley Cuoco, as well as original Project Runway judge Michael Kors and Stacy Keibler, host of Lifetime's Supermarket Superstar.

In this season's premiere, the sky is the limit as the designers are pushed and must fly on their own to create a look using parachute materials for their first runway challenge.
