Fashion and Reality Television

Project Runway is still successful after several season and a change of network. What makes the show such a big hit? The shows main on air talent can be credited with the majority of the show returning season after season. 

Heidi Klum- Super Model
Tim Gunn-Fashion Expert
Michael Kors-Fashion Designer
Nina Garcia-Magazine Editor
Guest Judge- usually a celebrity from the world of fashion or entertainment.

Each of the judges look for different things when critiquing the designers creations which gives a more well rounded feel to the show. The up and coming designers are able to get suggestions and praise from the model and/or celebrity that would wear it, a fashion designer who knows the business and the editor of a magazine that would choose whether or not do feature the designs.

Each season the competition gets tighter and more intense and the up and coming designers try to create the most outstanding garment without making something that would be a costume or something unwearable that could not be produced and sold.

Project Runway also makes fashion more accessible to the average person who doesn't know anything about fashion design but finds it interesting.
