Season 6
Returning to the runway for a sixth season, host and supermodel Heidi Klum heads a panel of industry luminaries, including as judges top women's and menswear designer Michael Kors, and fashion expert Nina Garcia, as they decide who is "in" and who is "out."
Tim Gunn, Chief Creative Officer at Liz Claiborne, Inc., will once again act as a mentor to the designers as they take on weekly fashion challenges.
The 16 Project Runway contestants will be whittled down week-by-week to the finalists who will show their own line in front of an audience of fashion industry movers and shakers at Bryant Park Fashion Week.
Project Runway's sixth-season grand prize winner will receive a $100,000 cash prize intended to help launch their own clothing line; a Marie Claire magazine editorial feature; and an all-expenses-paid trip for two to Paris.
Celebrity guest judges this season include Lindsay Lohan, Rebecca Romijn, Rachel Bilson, Tommy Hilfiger, Eva Longoria Parker, Christina Aguilera, Milla Jovovich and Cindy Crawford.
