Project Runway Season 4 was the fourth season of Project
Runway, Bravo's reality competition for fashion designers.
The season premiered November 14, 2007. Returning as judges
were supermodel Heidi Klum; fashion designer Michael Kors;
and Nina Garcia, Elle magazine fashion director. Tim Gunn,
chief creative officer at Liz Claiborne, Inc., again acts as
a mentor to the contestants.
Through a series of weekly challenges, contestants were
eliminated, leaving three finalists left who then went on to
show their designs in the final episodes at New York Fashion
Week. The winner, Christian Siriano, received prizes
including: an editorial feature in Elle, $100,000 from
TRESemmé to start his own line, the opportunity to sell a
fashion line on Bluefly.com, and a 2008 Saturn Astra
automobile.
