Season chronology

Project Runway Season 14 is the fourteenth season of the television show Project Runway, appearing on Lifetime. The season began on August 6, 2015. There were 16 designers competing to become "the next great American designer." Supermodel Heidi Klum, Marie Claire creative director Nina Garcia, and fashion designer Zac Posen all returned as judges this season. Tim Gunn maintained his role as the workroom mentor.

In a post-season interview Tim Gunn expressed his disappointment with the designers of this season citing a deficiency of energy in them for the title.[1] He stated that he 'hated' the entire season labeling the progress of the contestants as 'lackluster'.[2]

In 2018, Kelly Dempsey, Candice Cuoco, Merline Labissiere and Edmond Newton competed in the sixth season of Project Runway All Stars, with Kelly placing 15th, Candice placing 12th, Merline placing 8th and Edmond placing 5th of 16.
