LIFETIME TELEVISION PROJECT RUNWAYLOS ANGELES, Jul 23, 2009 / FW/ — The highly anticipated August 20th debut of Project Runway on Lifetime just became a must-see with the ‘Project Runway: All-Star Challenge’ opening Season 6.

In this unprecedented special event, eight former fan favorites and Project Runway superstars are returning to the catwalk to compete against one another in the two-hour special, Project Runway: All-Star Challenge.

The spirited competition premieres Thursday, August 20, at 8PM ET/PT and will be followed by the highly anticipated premiere of the sixth season of Project Runway at 10PM ET/PT and the debut of the all-new companion series, Models of the Runway, at 11PM ET/PT.

The announcement was made yesterday by Lifetime Television and The Weinstein Company.

At stake for the designers are not only the ultimate bragging rights, but also a $100,000 cash prize. Will the designers be up to the challenge of returning to the workroom, working under the “Gunn” (as in Tim Gunn) to create a successful fashion line? Are they ready to, once again, face the critiques of Heidi Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia, as they showcase their creations?

The designers competing in Project Runway: All-Star Challenge are as follows:

  • Daniel Vosovic, Season 2
  • Santino Rice, Season 2
  • Jeffrey Sebelia, Season 3
  • Uli Herzner, Season 3
