Amateur fashion stylists and designers compete to craft the best possible clothes while attempting to cope with various thematic, material and time constraint challenges. Challenges include fresh takes on materials like fake fur and concepts like the classic cocktail dress, a color-themed team challenge, and one where the competitors are in charge of dressing stars of another reality show. Having been on the air since 2004, "Project Runway" has provided some professional designers, including Christian Siriano and Leanne Marshall, launching points for their careers.

Partnering with Dancing With the Stars, the designers create performance-ready fashions for some of the show's favorite professional dancers. Style and movement must work together seamlessly.

In their final challenge before the finale, the designers create two wedding-day looks for a fashion-forward bride. The assignment demands versatility, elegance and a clear design vision.
