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.

Linda Holmes NPR 06/14/2019
Not only did the season wind up being a strong argument that a show like this can continue with a new host, but it almost became an argument for changing hosts as the first, not the last, option for shows that have grown stale. Go to Full Review Marc Silver Washington Post 03/28/2019
"Project Runway" may have been out, but now it's back in. Go to Full Review Caroline Framke Variety 03/28/2019
If the vanguards of the fashion world are truly finding it in their hearts (or at least their savvy business brains) to open the doors for talent and designs alike just a little bit wider, it makes for an intriguing new direction nonetheless. Go to Full Review Gina Carbone CinemaBlend 06/14/2019
I have been tough on Project Runway Season 17. Halfway through the 2019 season, I wasn't sold on the new judges or the great Christian Siriano... But after last night's Thursday, June 13 finale, I am sold. Go to Full Review Cristine Struble Culturess 03/28/2019
Although the runway was a little blah, Christian Sirano looks to be a great mentor this season. Where Tim Gunn would say "make it work," Christian has more subtle ways of sharing his displeasure. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/15/2019 Tim Gunn is not present in season 17 and his replacement (Siriano) is possibly one of the least likable characters on tv. Heidi Klum's replacement, Karlie Kloss, is also a disappointment. Her mannerism and voice are a shrill reminder of her advertising presence on YouTube. I put myself through watching the first episode, but I don't think I will put myself through it again. This is probably the beginning of the end of Project Runway. See more Read all reviews
