Description
It's time to make it work! The Emmy Award
nominated series, "Project Runway," will kick off its
ninth season with 20 talented designers - the most
in series history - beginning Thursday, July 28 at 9
pm/8c on Lifetime Television. In the show's 90-
minute format, the new crop of designers will
encounter host Heidi Klum, mentor Tim Gunn and
judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia and top-name
guest designers and judges from the worlds of
fashion, film and television, including Kim
Kardashian, Christina Ricci, Zoe Saldana and Malin
Akerman, as they face inventive challenges,
unexpected eliminations and other surprises along
the way.
In a "Project Runway" first, during the premiere
episode, 20 designers must go in front of Heidi,
Michael, Nina and Tim to make a case why they
deserve one of the 16 coveted spots this season.
Once they are chosen, the 16 designers barely have
a chance to celebrate before being awoken at the
crack of dawn with one of the toughest first
challenges in the series' history.
As part of the winner's prize package, this season's
victorious designer will receive $100,000 from
L'Oreal Paris to start his/her own line, a fashion
spread in Marie Claire magazine, a $50,000
technology suite by HP and Intel to create his/her
own vision and run his/her business and the
opportunity to design and sell an exclusive
collection on Piperlime.com. The model paired with
the winner of "Project Runway" will also appear in
the designer's editorial feature in Marie Claire and
receive $25,000 from L'Oreal Studio Secrets
Professional.
With supermodel Heidi Klum as host, "Project
Runway" provides budding designers with an
opportunity to launch their careers in fashion,
under the watchful eye of mentor and Liz Claiborne
Chief Creative Officer Tim Gunn. "Project Runway"
recently was awarded with a 2011 GLAAD Media
Award for Outstanding Reality Program and also
was nominated for a Critics' Choice Television
