In the Project Runway season 20 trailer, all the captains of Below Deck were featured. Only time will tell whether the captains turn models for the designers or a fashion show will be held on a yacht. The clip also showed a lot of drama, including fights and heartbreaks.
During BravoCon 2022, Christian first teased the return of the fashion reality TV show. He said:
“We found designers from Season 1. We even have a designer from my season, which will be really interesting because I'm the boss."
Rami Kashou is the former contestant who is from the mentor’s season. While Christian won season 4, Rami finished second. It will be interesting to watch the two fashion designers come face-to-face, but this time, Christian will be Rami’s mentor.
Project Runway season 10 will air its special two-part premiere on Thursday on Bravo.
