As part of the winner's prize package, this season's victorious designer will receive $100,000 from L'Oréal Paris to start his/her own line, a fashion spread in Marie Claire magazine, a $50,000 technology suite by HP and Intel to create his/her own vision and run his/her business, and the opportunity to design and sell an exclusive collection on Piperlime.com.

The model paired with the winner of Project Runway will also appear in the designer's editorial feature in Marie Claire and receive $25,000 from L'Oréal Studio Secrets Professional.

The guest judges this season are Selma Blair, Joanna Coles, Betsey Johnson, Philip Treacy, Georgina Chapman, Cynthia Rowley, Kristen Bell, January Jones, Naeem Khan, Rachel Roy, Norma Kamali, Christian Siriano and Jessica Simpson.
