Season 20 - Episode Guide

Fourteen of the most beloved designers from across 19 seasons of Project Runway descend on New York once again to vie for the coveted title that has eluded them all. The iconic designers meet one another and catch up on their successes after leaving the runway. The fun and games come to an end, however, when famed judge Nina Garcia and mentor Christian Siriano arrive to give them an unwanted history lesson and their first challenge of the season.

For their very first challenge of the competition, the designers have to rewrite history by reinventing the look that either got them eliminated or gave them the lowest score in their past and turn it into a high-fashion moment for the runways of today. In doing so, they must impress actor, author and activist Alicia Silverstone, who serves as the guest judge.

It's neither fun nor games as the designers must tackle the most feared challenge in the Project Runway canon: the unconventional materials challenge.

It's the first dreaded team challenge of the season, and the designers are heading to the ball because it's Coronation Day. The designers are blindly paired together and tasked with creating couture modern gowns that exemplify royalty. Wes Gordon, the creative director of Carolina Herrera and a gown expert, serves as a guest judge and helps decide which partners took their gown over the top.

In a Project Runway first, the designers are forced to share a single bolt of fabric to demonstrate how they can stand out from one another and prove why they're the top designer.

It's the halfway point and the designers are hitting the road to a denim explosion.

Who will ride the winds of this newfound creative freedom to victory, and who will spiral into defeat?

The designers are faced with one of their hardest tasks yet: a one-day challenge that forces them to create one runway look that showcases two opposing fashion styles. From classic and trendy, basic and bold, fitted and oversized, casual and formal, elegant and edgy, to sexy and modest, these opposites will truly test the designer's limits.
