Model and TV Host Heidi Klum Returns to 'Project Runway' After Eight-Year Absence
Heidi Klum, the iconic German supermodel, is set to make a highly anticipated return to the American design competition show, 'Project Runway'. The 51-year-old expressed her excitement about rejoining the series, describing her return as a "homecoming" in an interview with People magazine.
Klum initially hosted 'Project Runway' for 13 years and 16 seasons before model Karlie Kloss took over in 2018. Now, she is back in her original role for the upcoming 21st season, which is slated to premiere towards the end of July.
Speaking about her return, Klum remarked, "I can do it with my eyes closed, although I'm judging clothes - so I have to keep my eyes open. But I can do it with my eyes closed."
Klum expressed her admiration for the show participants, noting their passion for making it in the fashion industry. She stated, "It's fun to give them a platform to showcase their talent." On a personal level, she expressed her preference for longer gowns and dresses. However, she was quick to emphasize, "That's what makes us unique and special, rules aren't the right way."
The upcoming season of 'Project Runway' will air on Freeform, Disney+, and Hulu on July 31. The judging panel consists of Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia, and Law Roach, a celebrity stylist. Christian Siriano, a successful designer and 'Project Runway' alum, will serve as the contestants' mentor.
Klum's return to 'Project Runway' signifies a significant reaffirmation of her influence within the show and the fashion industry. During her 16-season tenure as host and executive producer, the series garnered 14 consecutive Emmy nominations and launched the careers of several notable designers. Klum's absence from the show since 2017 left many fans longing for her signature catchphrases and authoritative judging style.
Heidi Klum's return to 'Project Runway' signals a comeback of a celebrated German supermodel to the show she originally hosted for 16 seasons. This event is not only exciting for Klum, but also for entertainment enthusiasts around the USA, as the show is set to premiere once more on various television platforms, highlighting the passion of aspiring fashion designers on a renowned platform.
