AtBravoCon2022,Christian SirianoandElaine Welterothannounced Sunday that the next season of the Bravo fashion series — its 20th — will be an all-stars season.
“Right here, right now, you’re going to be the first to know that this is an all-star season. It is insane,” Welteroth, a judge on the series, revealed to the crowd at theProject Runwaypanel.
“We found designers from season 1,” said Siriano, adding that audiences will also see the return of contestants from season 3 and 4. “We even have a designer from my season, which will be really interesting because I’m the boss.”

“I was 20 years old, I knew nothing,” he recalled of his early days onProject Runway, adding that he had “never” seen the show before applying to be a contestant.
He said that he thinks going into the show with little expectations is likely to get you far in the competition. “Any designer that goes in with like nothing to lose, in a way, are the best because they just go right in,” he said.
