The premier of the sixth season of Project Runway, hosted by supermodel Heidi Klum,airs on August 20 at 8/7c. The season premier of Project Runway will be preceded by a two-hour special episode where all-star designers from previous seasons battle it out for a chance to win a $100,000 cash prize. Almost all of the designers in the special episode made it to Fashion Week in previous seasons, and one was a winner. The contestants will get help from a special superstar guest: Nicole Kidman.

The all-star designers are:

  • Daniel Vosovic (season 2)
  • Santino Rice (season 2)
  • Jeffrey Sebelia (season 3)
  • Uli Herzner (season 3)
  • Mychael Knight (season 3)
  • Chris March (season 4)
  • Sweet P (season 4)
  • Korto Momolu (season 5)

Heidi Klum will once again be working with judges Michael Kors and Nina Garcia and Lindsay Lohan will appear as guest judge for one of the episodes. The winner has already been chosen, which means this is the first season the winner will not be picked at New Yorks Fashion Week. 

The contestants this season are:

  • Althea Harper, 20, Dayton, OH
  • Ari Fish, 26, Kansas City, MO
  • Carol Hannah Whitfield, 24, Charleston, SC
  • Christopher Straub, 30, Shakopee, MN
  • Gordana Gelhausen, 45, Charleston, SC
  • Irina Shabayeva, 27, New York, NY
  • Johnny Sakalis, 30, Los Angeles, CA
  • Logan Neitzel, 26, Seattle, WA
  • Louise Black, 32, Dallas, TX
  • Malvin Vien, 24, Brooklyn, NY
  • Mitchell Hall, 26, Savannah, GA
  • Nicolas Putvinski, 27, New York, NY
  • Qristyl Frazier, 42, Brooklyn, NY
  • Ra’mon-Lawrence Coleman, 31, Chicago, IL
  • Rodney Epperson, 50, New York, NY
  • Shirin Askari, 24, Richardson, TX
"Project Runway: All-Star Challenge" will premiere Thursday, August 20, at 8/7c. The sixth season airs immediately after, followed by a companion series called "Models of the Runway" that "give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the reality competition - from the models' perspective."

Oh, boy - another season of <a href="personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/09/04/project-runway-season-6-episode-3-three-strikes-rule/">Project Runway</a> season - even more goofy useless people, and their even goofier, even more useless clothes - it seems there is a direct ration between the utter uselessness of an item of clothing and it's price.  The more of one, the more of the other.  I get to complain about this, because I live in a household where this show will be viewed, at full volume, and there shall be no appeal, even if it's the Super Bowl.  (Actually, that's not true - the Super Bowl is a big deal, and directly tied to one of the greatest excuses for getting absolutely loaded on Sunday, and eating things that you ordinarily wouldn't - such as a steaming bowl of chili, hot sauce, and Velveeta.) Perhaps that's a cynical view - the fashion industry, even though it seems WAY too self important, actually does some good.  Many designers and large clothing lines make a lot of large charitable donations, and despite my mocking, a good set of clothes make a person feel better about their appearance, which makes them feel better about themselves, and there really isn't any harm in that.  However, the temptation to mock Klum et al. mercilessly to go and get real jobs is strong - but I respect Tim Gunn quite a bit because he emphasizes the classic appeal of a really good suit, and he's come straight out and admitted how frivolous the fashion world is - which is a really big thing to admit.  That said, that show - it's so ANNOYING!
