This marks the first time the Emmy Award-winning series has offered an all-star season on Bravo, where it premiered in 2004 (not to be confused with the Lifetime spin-off). Fourteen designers from the show’s 19 seasons are giving the fashion competition another shot. The winner will take home $250,000 courtesy of returning grand prize partner Pilot FriXion Erasable Pens, mentorship from the CFDA and a feature in Elle magazine. (TRESemmé continues as hair care partner and Hilton joins as brand partner.)

“Each 90-minute episode will feature challenges that test their artistry and push their limits, including an unconventional challenge that takes everyone by surprise,” notes Bravo. “Other challenges include the return of the classic denim challenge and a uniform refresh for fan favorites from the cast of ‘Below Deck.’”

The new season will also be available on Peacock. Online, Siriano will host “The Project Runway After Show” on Bravotv.com.
