Emmy-nominated competition reality series PROJECT RUNWAY returns with a new crop of sixteen up-and-coming designers for a fifth season. Returning to the runway, host and supermodel Heidi Klum heads a panel of industry luminaries, including judges, top fashion designer Michael Kors, and fashion expert Nina Garcia, as they decide who's "in" and who is "out". PROJECT RUNWAY premieres every Saturday at 2100 hrs (9:00 pm SIN/HK) beginning March 28.
