Project Runway is back !!

With the season 7 premier on Jan 15, of hit TV show Project Runway with guest judge Nicole Richie, the “new class” of 16 contestants hoped that it marked the beginning of new era in fashion. After a lackluster season in LA, the show has returned to its rightful place in New York City, which is often referred  to as the fashion Capital of the world.
Though its only been a month since the finally of season 6, the absence of Heidi, Michael, Tim, and Nina was certainly felt, but truly, it was the multiple personalities and rants of the contestants that was missed the most.

We already know that Nicole Richie will be gracing the panel on the premiere of Project Runway’s seventh season.  We’ve also had our chance to look through the designers who will be competing for the top prize at Fashion Week.  Now, we get a sneak peek at the new installment of the show and find out about the challenges in store for these hopefuls.

As with past seasons of the hit reality competition, the designers are going to need bucketfuls of hope to pull through.  Of course, there’s a need for talent as well, especially since Tim Gunn has expressed how worried he is about the contestants.
Speaking of the contestants, they’re really big dreamers.  On one preview of the show, it dawned on Tim Gunn that the ambition of these designers is overwhelming.  Sometimes that’s a good thing, but in this case, it’s not.The challenges are getting bigger and more difficult than last season.  These designers really need to step it up.

The contestants seem to be quirky enough to keep us watching.  We’re more concerned about what they bring to the table though.  What say?
