Say Hello to the "Project Runway: All Stars" Cast

Back in 2009 when Project Runway first made the jump from Bravo to Lifetime, they kicked things off with a Project Runway All-Stars special. That show was a one-off, but this time out Lifetime has ordered entire 12 episode spinoff series.

When the series debuts later this year you'll see a bunch of fan favorite PR contestants, but what you won't see is Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn, Michael Kors or Nina Garcia! Maybe this is a clever way to test out whether the Project Runway franchise can work without its regular host, judges and mentor. Producers could be banking on all the familiar contestant faces making up for the loss of Tim and Heidi et. al.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, model and actress Angela Lindvall will act as host. She'll be joined by designers Isaac Mizrahi and Georgina Chapman as judges. And Marie Claire editor-in-chief Joanna Coles will attempt to fill Tim Gunn's mentor shoes.

I'm not sure they'll be able to "make it work" without Tim Gunn, but I am excited about some of the returning contestants, among them Michael Costello, Mondo Guerra, Austin Scarlett and the villainous Kenley Collins!

Poll below lists all of 13 returning All-Stars. Which ones are you most excited to see again? (Multiple selections allowed.)
