Returning: Project Runway

It’s not the Aussie version (which is due later this year) but Heidi Klum and design mentor Tim Gunn return with their original Project Runway series from 8:30pm Monday March 29 on Arena.

Before season six kicks off, eight of Project Runway’s top designers pair with some of the most extreme personalities from previous seasons: Daniel Vosovic, Santino Rice, Jeffrey Sebelia, Uli Herzner, Mychael Knight, Chris March, Sweet P, and Korto Momolu. It includes a task set by Nicole Kidman for the red carpet for the premiere of Nine. The winner will also walk away with US$100,000. Project Runway: All Star Challenge premiering on Monday, March 22, at 8.30pm, on Arena.

For the first time in the show’s six-year history, the search for the next megastar fashion designer leaves New York for the bright lights of Los Angeles, where 16 designers vie for the chance to win an editorial feature in Marie Claire magazine, a cash prize of US$100,000 to start their own line and an all-expenses-paid trip for two to Paris.

Tim Gunn said, “I firmly believe that this cast is the most talented group ever. Season six will prove to be one of the best.”

The returning judges, world renowned fashion designer Michael Kors and Marie Claire magazine fashion director Nina Garcia, will be joined each week by a slew of celebrity guests, including Christina Aguilera, Eva Longoria and Lindsay Lohan.

Project Runway series six gets underway at 8.30pm, followed by the season premiere of Models of the Runway at 9.30pm.

The new companion series will give viewers a no-holds-barred look at Project Runway from the models’ perspective as the 16 catwalk hopefuls vie to be paired with the winning designer of the series for a US$25,000 cash prize and a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine.
