The veterans edition. Project Runway's twentieth season recasts itself with designers from across the show's history and brings the classic-era host back to the chair for a milestone all-stars cycle. The returning cast carries prior history into the Manhattan workroom, and the editing leans on the chemistry that returnees bring to a room they already know.
