About

Aspiring fashion designers battle for a coveted industry break in a fast‑paced, reality‑style competition.

In 2004, a group of 12 designers was invited to New York’s workroom to craft outfits within tight time limits and budgets. Each week a new challenge – from weddings to runway shows – pushes them to innovate with limited resources. The judges, led by Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors, assess the pieces and decide who stays and who leaves the competition. The finale culminates in a runway showcase for the finalists, who then present a full collection at New York Fashion Week. The series blends creative tension, personal drama and industry insights, making it a staple for fashion‑enthusiasts and reality‑show fans alike.

What to know

  • The show is hosted by supermodel Heidi Klum and features a panel of industry experts.
  • Contestants work with a $100‑k budget and must finish garments in a few hours.
  • Each episode ends with one designer’s elimination based on judges’ feedback.
  • Filming takes place in a New York studio over a 30‑day period, 18 hours a day.
  • The winner receives a $100,000 prize, mentorship from Banana Republic and a cover in Elle.
  • Judges include Tim Gunn as mentor, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors, plus rotating guest judges.
  • Contestants have no internet access during production to keep their inspiration pure.
  • Even after elimination, designers remain on set and are “sequestered” for weeks.

Watch if

If you enjoy high‑energy creativity, sharp design critiques and the thrill of a battle‑royale style competition, Project Runway offers a compelling look at the pressures and triumphs of modern fashion design.

Skip if

If you prefer shows with supernatural twists, long‑form dramas or non‑reality formats, the competitive structure and fashion focus of Project Runway may feel too niche and fast‑paced for you.

Competition Structure
Season 1 began with 12 designers who faced 10 weekly challenges, each focusing on a distinct theme such as weddings, streetwear, or unconventional materials. Designers had a short window—often 4–6 hours—to conceptualize, source fabrics and complete a garment. The winner of each challenge earned immunity, while the lowest‑scored designer was eliminated by the judges.
Judges and Mentors
The core judging panel comprised Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors, with Tim Gunn serving as the mentors’ advisor. Guest judges were invited each episode, adding fresh perspective. Judges assessed design quality, construction, and how well the outfit matched the challenge’s theme, then deliberated on who stayed and who walked away.
Challenges and Themes
Challenges ranged from designing a dress from supermarket materials to creating a collection for the New York Fashion Week runway. The show favored originality, restricting the use of commercial patterns and encouraging the use of limited supplies, forcing contestants to think on their feet.
Filming Process
Filming ran for about 30 days in a New York studio, with designers working roughly 18 hours each day. Contestants were isolated from internet and television to preserve authenticity, and Mood Fabrics closed for exclusive shopping periods. The production schedule was so intense that judges’ feedback could take up to seven hours to film.
Finale and Fashion Week
The season finale aired in February 2005, showcasing the final three designers’ twelve‑piece collections on the Olympus Fashion Week runway. The winner, Jay McCarroll, received a $100,000 prize, a mentorship from Banana Republic and a feature in Elle magazine.
Audience and Reception
The show quickly became a cultural phenomenon, gaining a loyal fan base and earning an Emmy nomination for its innovative format. Critics praised its blend of creativity, drama and industry relevance, solidifying Project Runway’s place as a staple in reality television.
Behind the Scenes
Even after elimination, designers remained on set, often sequestered for weeks, to prevent spoilers. They also received no direct payment for the first two seasons. These production details highlight the show’s commitment to maintaining suspense and authenticity.
