Season 3
The third season of Project Runway, with Heidi Klum returning as the host and Tim Gunn as the designers' guide, began in the United States in July 2006.
Season 3 also brought in a new set of sponsors, notably Macy's replacing Banana Republic.
Selected from thousands of hopefuls, an all-new cast of 15 talented fashion designers compete for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to show in the world-renowned Bryant Park tents during New York's Fashion Week.
Project Runway will provide the opportunity for these budding designers to break into the notoriously exclusive fashion business.
The winner receives a spread in ELLE magazine, a mentorship with INC (Inter-National Concepts) Design, a year of representation by Designers Management Agency, a 2007 Saturn Sky Roadster, and $100,000 to start a clothing line (furnished by Tresemme haircare).
