Lifetime Television sews up the summer with the highly anticipated Emmy-nominated and Peabody Award-winning hit series Project Runway.
Produced by The Weinstein Company and Bunim-Murray Productions, host Heidi Klum, mentor Tim Gunn and judges Michael Kors (leading fashion designer) and Nina Garcia (Fashion Director of Marie Claire Magazine), will guide sixteen new contestants as they show off their design skills to see who makes the cut for Fashion Week.
Filmed in Los Angeles and New York, Project Runway also features influential guest judges from the worlds of fashion, music, film and television.
"I am a huge fan of Project Runway and could not be happier that Season Six will be premiering on Lifetime, the #1 network for women," said Andrea Wong, President and CEO, Lifetime Networks.
"The talent in this all-new season is nothing short of amazing, and I can’t wait for all of the fans to see the incredible work of these brilliant designers."
Models of the Runway, an exciting new companion series, will air immediately following Project Runway.
Each 30-minute episode will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the reality competition – from the models’ perspective.
Viewers can experience the drama, anxiety, joys, tears and frustrations as the models themselves face elimination each week and compete for a cash prize and photo spread in Marie Claire magazine.
