Here are some things to look forward to on the new season of Project Runway!

1. New Location

Sunny Los Angeles offers a fresh and new twist to the show. The change of scenery has reinvigorated a new spark in everyone involved in the production.

2. More and More Celebrity Judges

This season alone, the likes of Eva Longoria Parker, Lindsay Lohan, Christina Aguilara, Rebecca Romjin and Bob Mackie, among others, serve as celebrity judges for the designers.

3. New Sponsors

There are a lot of new sponsors in Project Runway this season, changing the ones used in previous seasons. One big change is the magazine. Since Nina Garcia moved over to Marie Claire, the magazine sponsorship has also moved: from Elle to Marie Claire. TRESemme is also out and Garnier is in, and Bluefly will no longer provide the accessories and shoes for the models and designers. These will be provided by Macys.

4. New Prizes

There are no more cars being given away, but the prize now does include a trip for two to Paris, France!

5. Model Runway

After each episode of Project Runway, you will be able to watch Model Runway, which features the lives and troubles of the models of Project Runway.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for the new season of Project Runway!
