Contestants, prepare the runway because your hosts have arrived!
It was announced last month that Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn would be leaving Project Runway after a whopping 16 seasons.
“I am incredibly proud of the show, and it will always have a special place in my heart,” the 45-year-old said when announcing her exit. “I am so appreciative of the dedicated fans, and most of all, I am grateful that we could shine a light on creativity and help launch so many talented designers’ careers.”
Bravo has now announced just who will be stepping into Tim and Heidi’s high-heeled shoes…
Karlie Kloss and Christian Siriano.
“As someone who grew up watching Project Runway, I could not be more excited to host and produce a series that provides a platform to aspiring American designers as they pursue their creative and entrepreneurial dreams,” said the model who will also serve as executive producer of the series. “I am equally as thrilled to work alongside an incredibly talented group of fashion innovators — Brandon Maxwell, Elaine Welteroth, Nina Garcia and Christian Siriano — to inspire, support and help guide these designers as they realize their visions and build everlasting brands and businesses.”
Christian echoed Karlie’s sentiments: “Project Runway has offered such wonderful opportunities for so many and I’m excited to take on this role as a mentor. I hope to guide and inspire the new talent on the rise.”
Project Runway returns next year.
