Tune in alert for Project Runway on Lifetime.

Fashion’s Dream Team of Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia are back for 14 New Episodes for the milestone 10th season.

It’s time to cut – or be cut!  The Emmy® Award nominated series, Project Runway, celebrates its 10th Anniversary milestone with 16 new designers, beginning Thursday, July 19, at 9pm ET/PT on Lifetime. 

Fans will have the rare opportunity to see them in person for a real runway show in New York’s Times Square on Friday, June 15, at 8pm ET. 

Not only will this season’s designers have to prove they have the creativity, skills and passion to dazzle Heidi Klum, mentor Tim Gunn and judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, they’ll also have to show off their garments to the critical eyes of a live audience in one of New York’s most visited and highly visible sites for their first challenge of the new season.

Filmed on location in NYC, each 90-minute episode of the 10th season will showcase the talent of the designers on the runway, and the drama that takes place behind-the-seams as the designers attempt to make the cut to show at New York Fashion Week at Lincoln Center.
