Amateur fashion stylists and designers compete to craft the best possible clothes while attempting to cope with various thematic, material and time constraint challenges. Challenges include fresh takes on materials like fake fur and concepts like the classic cocktail dress, a color-themed team challenge, and one where the competitors are in charge of dressing stars of another reality show. Having been on the air since 2004, "Project Runway" has provided some professional designers, including Christian Siriano and Leanne Marshall, launching points for their careers.

I don't know what can be done to save Project Runway at the moment, short of either getting rid of Law Roach and Tyra Banks. Project Runway just feels cruel, and I like my fashion cruelty-free. Go to Full Review
Andy Dehnart Reality Blurred Jul 12, 2026
Season 21 was "the most talked-about season of Project Runway," Heidi Klum says on Project Runway 22. That's like saying the most-talked about cuisine of the year is the lettuce torpedoing its way out of colons because it's been spiked with cyclospora. Go to Full Review

Kan S @RT40061149 Sep 19, 2026 Given the new editing style, the show falls shorts in terms of editing. It does not feel high fashion to me now. It is a "Reality show" only. See more Lori H @RT65170555 Sep 6, 2026 I used to love this show and couldn’t wait for new seasons to drop. Sadly, it has become just another unwatchable reality show applauding meanness over design quality. I suffered through last season, hoping that the poor reviews would lead to some changes, but honestly, this season is even worse. I’ve already quit watching it and my advice to others would be to skip it altogether. See more Mel G @MelonPunch Sep 6, 2026 An absolutely devastating destruction of an amazing platform for creativity. I’ve watched every episode of Project Runway and watching this season has been hell to say the least. Usually I don’t leave bad reviews, but the final straw came during the Siriano Save this season. Law Roach is a bully. The challenges are subpar. The contestants have so much talent and are wasted in this competition. The attempt at evolution has completely backfired. This season is poorly crafted and altogether unwatchable. I won’t be watching next season. As long-time fans, we shouldn’t have to deal with this. See more Heather S @HASullivan Sep 3, 2026 This show used to be about talent and designers helping other designers grow. It now represents everything that is wrong with this world, mean cattiness pushing downwards instead of building up. Law and his hairflip attitude is beyond obnoxious. They don’t even focus on the construction or really show the final pieces on the runway well. (Terrible editing) Just crying and cattiness. Judges are terrible and no constructive. See more Christie T @tchris1223 Aug 31, 2026 What the hell is happening to my favorite show? I do feel like people have forgotten that Project Runway did start out as a pretty catty show, but it fit the era it was created in. All reality TV was based on drama in the early 2000s. Then when Heidi left the show it seemed to take a positive turn towards highlighting the art and the talent of the designers instead of pitting them again one another. Now that Heidi is back, it seems like the drama is worse than it ever was before. This does not fit the times we are living in. Plus, maybe consider that the fans of the show are grown adults and find the constant bickering between the judges and contestants incredibly cringy. Don't even get me starts on Law. He just needs to go immediately. And maybe the producers should take some time to read reviews and make some changes. Do your job and quit ruining a classic show that should bring happiness and inspiration. See more Gregory V @GreggVallarta Aug 15, 2026 The producers, starting with season 21, have systematically ruined this once epic series. Viewers don't tune in for the catty drama and backstabbing, they tune in for the designs, which are on a back burner for season 22. Bring back Michael Kors and Nina Garcia and get rid of Tyra Banks and Law Roach. Law Roach is a vile human being and should not be a judge. Go back to the origins of the show if you want to keep viewers interested. This new format doesn't work and people are tuning out. The only bright side is Christian Soriano, who truly offers honest and helpful advice to the designers. See more Read all reviews
