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.
