Fashion fans get excited! Project Runway is strutting back for Season 21 and Heidi Klum is of course back to host and judge. The search for the next big designer is ON and things are about to get stylish.
OG Judge Nina Garcia and Style Guru Law Roach Join Heidi on the Runway Panel for Season 21
We all know Heidi Klum is the queen of Project Runway. Good news is she is not going anywhere. She will be hosting and judging again this season. And guess who is joining her? Another familiar face Nina Garcia! Yes the editor-in-chief of Elle US is back in her judge chair . Nina has been with Project Runway since day one way back in 2004 so it just would not be the same without her honest critiques.
But there is also a fresh face joining the panel. Say hello to Law Roach ! He is known as an "image architect" and has worked with some seriously famous people like Zendaya Celine Dion and Anne Hathaway. Law is bringing his stylist expertise to the judges' table and we cannot wait to hear his take on the designs.
So get ready for the judging panel it's going to be Heidi Klum Nina Garcia and Law Roach. That is a trio with serious fashion cred!
Christian Siriano Returns to Mentor Designers But Tim Gunn Fans Might Be Disappointed
Remember Christian Siriano ? He won Project Runway way back in Season 4 and he has become a major designer since then. He is coming back to Project Runway but not as a contestant this time. Christian is returning as the mentor for Season 21. He took over the mentor role back in 2019 when the show was rebooted and he is back to guide the new designers in the workroom. Christian has designed for some huge names you know like Michelle Obama Oprah and Lady Gaga. So the contestants are in good hands when it comes to getting advice.
Now for the news that might bum some fans out. Tim Gunn will not be back as part of Project Runway Season 21. Tim was the mentor for so many seasons and a real fan favorite. He and Heidi were like a package deal for Project Runway. Apparently Heidi did reach out to Tim about returning but for some reason the producers decided not to bring him back as mentor. Tim was understandably upset about this. He was offered a cameo but turned it down saying "you're either in or you're out". So yeah no Tim Gunn this season as mentor. Christian will be filling those mentoring shoes.
