Project Runway Season 12

Project Runway season 12 has begun with new judge and celebrity designer, Zac Posen. Posen was recently interviewed on YourTango.com about being on the show and how it is to work with Heidi Klum.


YourTango: Tell us about Project Runway!
Zac Posen:
 The season has been spicy!
YourTango: Spicy? Who in particular?
Zac Posen:
 Spicy, creative. The contestants are judging. You know, Heidi has extremely high standards, as do I, and Nina. And it's been great having Tim watch the show with us. There are some new components that have been added into the content of the show that I would say are more inspector-y.
YourTango: Can you divulge?
Zac Posen: 
We have the ability to really get into the garments and see them close up, and lose that mystery of runway to your seats. I get my hands into the clothing this season.
YourTango: What's it like working with Heidi Klum?
Zac Posen:
 Amazing. Heidi is inspiring, she is driven, she is funny, she is entertaining. I think Tim is sort of the overarching angel of the show. I think the show is so fortunate as well as the fans to have him involved because he's a light. And I'm really happy to be part of a television show that has embraced having that creative, positive light. It keeps it real.
YourTango: What do you and Heidi agree and disagree about, as far as designing?
Zac Posen:
 Heidi and I usually push for the more creative people and the newer ideas. Nina is definitely always going for what is the chicest to her, what is the most in trend in fashion at the moment. She comes from an editorial standpoint. I come from a real design standpoint of like, 'Is this idea going to be something that in the future Nina is going to like?' Tim comes from the development side, which is, 'How do we get this design and idea ready to present?'

You can read the rest of the interview here. Also on Project Runway this season, is designer Dom Streater, a 24 year old designer from West Philadelphia. I can't wait to see what designs she sends down the runway. Did you watch the premiere of Project Runway season 12? Who's your favorite designer so far?
