Project Runway

Zanna Roberts Rassi introduces everyone to 16 new designers who will be competing against each other on Project Runway Season 11.

After just meeting each other for the first time, the designers are placed in two teams of eight and told that they will be designing in teams for the entire season.

The two teams are tasked with designing new uniforms for the popular nightclub Spin. The winning design will be worn by Spin employees. Susan Sarandon appears as a guest judge.

The teams are presented with the challenge and privilege of designing a look for Heidi to wear in her ad campaign and for press events while promoting her new fragrance "Surprise".

The designers are tasked with the Unconventional Materials Challenge. The flower store and the hardware store, are combined for a "hard and soft" challenge.

The large teams dissolve and the designers are now asked to work in pairs. The teams must make two looks, one red carpet and one performance,for country music star Miranda Lambert.

Before the challenge begins, the designers are asked to re-pick their teams. Then, in teams of two, the designers are tasked with making a prom dress out of duct tape.

Regrouping once again, the judges decide which designers they would like to see work together, and the teams are separated into two teams of four.

In new teams of twos and threes, the designers make a ready-to-wear look for Lord and Taylor, inspired by their famous rose design.

In pairs again, the designers use HP technology and inspiration drawn from the Guggenheim Museum to create two looks: one avant-garde and a second ready-to-wear piece.

After working in teams all season, the designers are relieved when they receive the news that they will now be working on their own.

The remaining designers are paired with new assistants and each sent to a European fashion capital: Paris, Barcelona, London, and Berlin. One unlucky designer stays in NYC.

Weak and weary from their journey, the few designers left say goodbye to NYC and return to their respective hometowns to begin working on their final collections.

It's the moment of truth for the designers as they each present their final collections at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. One designer is named the winner of Project Runway Season 11.

All of the designers get to meet with each other one more time to talk about their experiences while on Project Runway Season 11.
