The series' second season began airing on December 7, 2005. Following a
nationwide search earlier in the year, sixteen designers were chosen as
semi-finalists and brought to New York City in June, 2005. After the first
challenge, Road To The Runway, fourteen went on to compete as finalists.
The winning designer, Chloe Dao, received $100,000 in seed money to help
launch her own line, a 2007 Saturn Sky roadster, a spread in ELLE magazine,
and a mentorship with the Banana Republic Design Team. Michael Kors and
Nina Garcia returned as judges for the second season. The third judging
seat rotated each week, based on the challenge. Tim Gunn, fashion chair
at Parsons The New School for Design, returned as a mentor for the designers.
