Project Runway returns with a brand-new season, bringing together twelve designers from diverse backgrounds to battle it out for a career-defining opportunity. With high pressure, high fashion, and even higher stakes, this season promises unforgettable runway moments and intense creative showdowns.

"We're in a new home, with new rules," teases returning host Heidi Klum, joined at the judges' table by fashion powerhouses Law Roach and Nina Garcia. Beloved designer and former winner Christian Siriano is back to mentor the contestants — offering sharp insights and signature one-liners. ("That is a grandma skirt, girl. And I love my grandma, but no.")

Expect jaw-dropping designs, emotional turning points, and no shortage of drama as these rising stars try to make their mark.

The star power doesn’t stop with the cast — this season features a dazzling lineup of guest judges, including Tyra Banks, Sofia Vergara, Michael Kors, Zac Posen, Jenna Lyons, Christian Cowan, Joan Smalls, and more.

Fashion's next big name is about to be discovered. Don’t miss a moment.
