Sizing Up The 16 New Project Runway Contestants






1. Alicia Hardesty




Her Aesthetic: Recycled eco-chic for the modern Lilith Fair girl.
The Challenge She’ll Probably Win: The “Dumpster Diving” Challenge. Or maybe the “Make a Dress Out of Whole Foods Bags” Challenge. Or maybe the “Create a Pantsuit out of Only Granola” Challenge.







4. Andrea Katz




Her Aesthetic: Semi-avant-garde clothing for retired high school art teachers.
The Challenge She’ll Probably Win: The “Design a Dress for Heidi Klum’s Grandma” Challenge.







7. Beatrice Guapo




Her Aesthetic: The fictional Lauren Conrad for ShopBop line.
The Challenge She’ll Probably Win: The “Macy’s” Challenge, or whatever department store that happens to be sponsoring the show at the moment.







10. Buffi Jashanmal




Her Aesthetic: The kind of clothing that makes Nina Garcia wrinkle her nose and say,”This looks…sad.”
The Challenge She’ll Probably Win: The “Design an Outfit for a Coachella Attendee” Challenge.







13. Fabio Costa




His Aesthetic: The sort of stuff that anyone could DIY out of an old pair of leggings and some scissors.
The Challenge He’ll Probably Win: Heidi Klum’s Perennial “Make Something for My Boring Athletic Line” Challenge.







16. Kooan Kosuke




His Aesthetic: I have no idea, but I can already tell he’s going to be my favorite.
The Challenge He’ll Probably Win: The “Design an Outfit for a Cartoon Character” Challenge.







19. Gunnar Deatherage




His Aesthetic: His portfolio looks very “If Vivienne Westwood Had an Etsy Shop.”
The Challenge He’ll Probably Win: The “Impress Vivienne Westwood, who Happens to Be Our Guest Judge” Challenge.







22. Sonjia Williams




Her Aesthetic: Mismatched pieces with crazy prints. She’s the new Mondo.
The Challenge She’ll Probably Win: The “Design a Pattern” Challenge.







25. Dmitry Sholokhov




His Aesthetic: Completely unwearable clothing that will make Tim Gunn give a lot of quizzical head tilts.
The Challenge He’ll Probably Win: The “Outfit Inspired by a Piece You Saw at MOMA” Challenge







28. Ven Budhu




His Aesthetic: Boring pageant gowns. There’s always one of these designers on every season.
The Challenge He’ll Probably Win: The “Design a Dress for a B-List Celeb to Go to an Awards Show You’ve Never Heard Of” Challenge.







31. Lantie Foster




Her Aesthetic: The straight-to-QVC kind. Seriously, she seems very, very commercial.
The Challenge She’ll Probably Win: The “Design an Outfit We Can Sell on QVC” Challenge.







34. Raul Osorio




His Aesthetic: Menswear. He’s going to be the person who starts crying because he has to make a ball gown for the first time in his life.
The Challenge He’ll Probably Win: The “Menswear” Challenge. Although the person who does menswear never seems to actually perform well for this one, despite saying “This is my challenge…no one else in this competition has EVER done menswear!” as many times and as dramatically as possible.







37. Melissa Fleis




Her Aesthetic: Black clothing for sorority girls who move to NYC and decide they need to dress more edgy.
The Challenge She’ll Probably Win: The “Design an Outfit for a Sorority Girl who Just Moved to the Big City” Challenge.







40. Christopher Palu




His Aesthetic: Women’s careerwear. His sketches are very “Jones New York.”
The Challenge He’ll Probably Win: None. He’s the guy who somehow makes it to the 9th episode out of sheer mediocrity.







43. Elena Slivnyak
