Siriano will be a mentor for the show’s contestants, and Elle editor-in-chief Nina Garcia and Law Roach, a fashion designer for stars like Zendaya and Céline Dion, will judge designs on the show.
Siriano won the fourth season of “Project Runway” in 2007. After his win, Siriano rose to fame in the fashion industry. He’s designed dresses for the Met Gala, dressed Michelle Obama and opened his own fashion boutique, The Collective West.
Despite closing The Collective West’s Westport location in March this year, Siriano continues to have a design presence in Connecticut. The Westport resident is currently working with Delamar Hotels to design the interior of the brand’s newest hotel location in Westport. The hotel is set to open this year, according to Delamar Hotels’ website.
In addition to Siriano, model Heidi Klum will also return to the show as a host. Klum previously hosted the show from 2004 to 2018. Model Karlie Kloss replaced Klum as host for two seasons, and Siriano hosted and mentored on the show for seasons 19 and 20.
