On the importance of Christian Siriano returning to mentor the all-stars this season of Project Runway… It's just a fantasy for fantasy's sake, for creativity, to see their unbound imagination, and it doesn't have to resonate with whether it's going to buyers or you're gonna buy it or you're going to feature it or you're gonna photograph it. I call it "the couture part" of our show because there are no bounds. … It will be something that will blow you away because we take them to a very unexpected place, and the result is really fantastic. It really doesn't need to be wearable, it doesn't need to be sellable. García: The unconventional challenge is by far the fan favorite and the judges' favorite because it's always something so out of this world and unexpected, and it's really their creativity but to the Nth degree. Maxwell: That's always one of my favorite episodes. And she gives great advice! On this season's unconventional challenge… It was a special time in all of their lives, and to get to witness it was really great. I just think that for me, outside of who's the most critical or not - and I think I can speak for Elaine when I say this - it was really joyful to watch them be reunited with Nina again. And she's going to speak to them exactly the way they will be spoken to in the industry, which is loving and also direct and honest when it needs to be. She's going to tell them exactly how this industry is. I think that Nina always comes in there every single time, and they really look forward to it to hear directly. And then sometimes you just have to be so direct, there's no other option.īut coming at it from the designer side… you can see when they're stressed and when they're tired and when you have to do a little bit less. maybe I'm not always as direct as I could be because I'm sensitive about their feelings sometimes. I think that I can only speak for myself as a designer. Because they also know that she's going to tell them the truth. It was very special to me to watch, as a longtime lover of the show, their faces light up when they see Nina. And now I've worked with Nina for many years, and I think Elaine is right. I remember the first time I ever won an award, Nina García gave it to me, and I felt like I was meeting with the biggest person in fashion, and I've watched her on TV for years, and it's very special to me. I could have never imagined in my life - when I would rush home and watch this show before you were able to record it and never miss an episode - that I would be on it and judging. Maxwell: I think that you can see, it was really exciting for me just as a longtime viewer. In addition to boasting a swell of all-star competitors, Project Runway Season 20 also welcomes back series original judge Nina García, who's been with the show since the very beginning, along with Condé Nast editor Elaine Welteroth and fashion designer Brandon Maxwell, who both joined in Season 17.
