The contestant designers will be competing to make the best looks from some of the strangest items. It could include practically anything. This is half of the fun of the show. The show is a reality base series that has pushed through traditional design obstacles and forged new ground in the process of creativity. It is a very open show that gives the designers the space to discuss things that are the most important to them as well as giving them the opportunities to show the world just what they are capable of.
The designs will feature a wide range of sizes that will be from a size zero through a twenty two. They will be asked to design a lot of different sizes and styles, enough to truly put their skills and abilities to the supreme test. “Project Runway” will begin season 16 with it’s premier on August 17, 2017 on the Lifetime Network. Its’ scheduled time slot will be Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.
