Project Runway

Project Runway is a fashion based television competition whose contestants are designers from various backgrounds, originally on Bravo and now airing on Lifetime. Starting at 12 competitors, the progressive elimination format brings the pool of designers down to 3 before the final challenge. Contestants must work within a budget and a time limit to complete a specific task- whether their garment must integrate certain elements or serve a predetermined purpose for an event or individual. Eliminations occur via a runway competition near the end of each show. The designers execute their challenges under the guidance of fashion icon Tim Gunn, while host Heidi Klum and a panel of judges determine a winner. MORE
