#PROJECT RUNWAY SEASON 19 SERIES#

Along with the network change to Lifetime, the location changed from New York to Los Angeles for Season 6 only (permanently returning to New York for Season 7.) While on the show, the designers are prohibited from leaving the apartments without authorization, making unauthorized communication with family or friends, or using the Internet to research designs. The designers live together, grouped by gender, at Atlas New York (an apartment building near Parsons) during Seasons 1–3 (back again at Season 5) and at New Gotham during Season 4. They shop for materials at a fabric store in New York's Garment District (usually at MOOD Designer Fabrics) – unless the challenge requires otherwise (e.g., denim jackets and jeans from Levi's, confectionery and souvenirs at the Hershey's Store in Times Square, or fabric at Spandex House in Season 4). The first several seasons were filmed in New York City, at The New School University's Parsons The New School for Design. Project Runway judges Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia, and Michael Kors These challenges may include creating a garment from non-traditional materials, such as: apartment furnishings (Season 3), recyclable materials (Season 3), items from a grocery store (Seasons 1 & 5), edible food items (Seasons 1, 4 & 10), plants and flowers (Season 2), using their own clothes that they happened to be wearing (Seasons 2 & 9), designing clothing with materials from a party store (season 8), or designing for a certain high-profile person (such as actress Brooke Shields, figure skater Sasha Cohen or Miss USA Tara Conner) or designing for a corporate fashion line (e.g., Banana Republic Diane von Fürstenberg Macy's or Sarah Jessica Parker's Bitten) or centered on a specialized theme (such as 'cocktail party', 'wedding gown', ' female wrestling outfit', or ' prom dress'). The challenges range in creative diversity to test the designers' ingenuity while maintaining their personal fashion design aesthetic. Each non-finale challenge (the scope of one episode) requires the designers to develop one or more pieces of new clothing to be presented at a runway show. Project Runway uses progressive elimination to reduce the initial field of 12 or more fashion designers down to three or four before the final challenge. The show has had over 30 international adaptations. In 2008, the show won a Peabody Award 'for using the 'television reality contest' genre to engage, inform, enlighten and entertain.'

American model Karlie Kloss followed Klum as the new host, with season four winner Christian Siriano replacing Gunn as mentor. Klum and the designers' mentor Tim Gunn both left the show in 2018 to helm another fashion competition show, Making the Cut on Amazon Video.

In 2018, during the wake of The Weinstein Company's bankruptcy, the show then returned to Bravo. It has a varied airing history, with Bravo originating the first five seasons, followed by Lifetime for eleven more. Project Runway was created by Eli Holzman and was hosted by Heidi Klum from 2004 to 2017. After the runway shows, the judges choose the winner. These finalists prepare complete fashion collections for New York Fashion Week. During each season, contestants are progressively eliminated until only a few contestants remain. Their designs are judged by a panel, and one or more designers are typically eliminated from the show each week. The contestants compete with each other to create the best clothes and are restricted by time, materials and theme.
