The List of 14 Project Runway Alum Returning for Project Runway All-Stars
Season 20 of Project Runway will feature many familiar faces. Who will you be supporting?
After a series of reshuffles and a hiatus exceeding a year, Project Runway is set to return to Bravo for its twentieth anniversary season, due to premiere on 15 June.
The upcoming season bears the title Project Runway All-Stars, a name viewers should be careful not to confuse with the spinoff show, Project Runway All Stars, which concluded in 2019 after seven seasons and notably lacks a hyphen.
Despite the potential for confusion, the upcoming chapter of the clothing design competition shares certain similarities with the spinoff. Specifically, the contestants will be familiar faces to long-time Project Runway devotees. Of the more than 300 competitors from the previous 19 seasons, 14 have been selected to return to the sewing stations and vie for the grand prize of $250,000.
Here is the full list of Season 20 contestants.
- Nora Pagel, Season 1
- Kara Saun, Season 1
- Johnathan Kayne Gillaspie, Season 3
- Rami Kashou, Season 4
- Korto Momolu, Season 5
- Mila Hermanovski, Season 7
- Viktor Luna, Season 9
- Fabio Costa, Season 10
- Laurence Basse, Season 15
- Bishme Cromartie, Season 17
- Hester Sunshine, Season 17
- Brittany Allen, Season 18
- Prajje Oscar Jean Baptiste, Season 19
- Anna Yinan Zhou, Season 19
It will be great to reconnect with designers we haven't seen for nearly two decades. Although the season will not have a host, dedicated fans will be pleased to see mentor Christian Siriano and judges Nina Garcia, Elaine Welteroth and Brandon Maxwell returning to their posts alongside a host of renowned guest judges, such as Alicia Silverstone, Billy Porter, Julia Fox, Coleman Domingo, Law Roach, and others.
The Project Runway All-Stars trailer recently unveiled on Bravo's official social media pages suggests that the contestants will grapple with familiar tasks, such as the 'classic denim challenge, as well as some novel and thrilling challenges, like devising a uniform for the cast of Below Deck.
Season 20 of Project Runway promises to be nothing short of epic, with an emotional rollercoaster of tears, disappointments, trials, surprises, and, naturally, awe-inspiring designs. We can't wait!
