SEW HOT!

ALL NEW SEASON OF LIFETIME'S EMMY(R)-NOMINATED PROJECT RUNWAY PREMIERES JULY 24

EMMY AWARD WINNERS HEIDI KLUM and TIM GUNN, NINA GARCIA and ZAC POSEN Return as a New Class of Designers Compete for Fashion's Top Spot

Guest Judges Include Actresses JULIE BOWEN, ELISABETH MOSS and SHAY MITCHELL, Olympian LINDSEY VONN, Entertainer DITA VON TEESE, Designer CHRISTIAN SIRIANO, British Television Personality AMANDA DE CADENET and YouTube Sensation BETHANY MOTA, Among Others

New York, NY (June 23, 2014) - The heat is on! Season 13 of Lifetime's Emmy(R)-nominated Project Runway (#ProjectRunway) returns on Thursday, July 24, at 9pm ET/PT with an all new group of aspiring designers. Project Runway is creating a one of a kind, full-season experience with Instagram which kicked off with #RunwayRedemption. Offering one past designer the chance to come back to the workroom and compete in season 13 fans were able to vote on their favorite designer's "InstaPortfolio" choosing from former season favorites Ken Laurence (Season 12) Alexander Pope (Season 12) and Amanda Valentine (Season 11). The victorious designer will be revealed in the premiere episode to compete against 18 Project Runway newbies. Each will have to make a lasting impression on judges Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia and Zac Posen, and mentor Tim Gunn in order to advance to the next level. But no decision is ever final as Tim will have one opportunity to "save" one designer from being eliminated.

Elimination may come sooner than expected for some! In the premiere episode, the designers are in disbelief when they discover there is one final audition before being granted a spot on the show. Before they get to even get to the first challenge, three designers will be sent packing. After that hurdle, the remaining 16 will get their first challenge, -they must create a look that would give the judges a glimpse of what their spring collection would like if they present at New York Fashion Week. The designers will be able to complete their looks with shoes and accessories from the ALDO accessories wall but with only a trunk of fabric to use, like it or not, they have to "make it work."

Guest judges joining Project Runway this season include Emmy award winning Modern Family actress Julie Bowen, Golden Globe winner Elisabeth Moss from Mad Men, Shay Mitchell from hit series Pretty Little Liars, Olympic gold medalist downhill skier Lindsey Vonn, entertainer Dita Von Teese, fashion designer Christian Siriano, British television personality and renowned photographer Amanda de Cadenet, and YouTube celebrity Bethany Mota.
