Project Runway Seeks The Best New Fashion Designers For Its 10th Season

Fashion designers, are you ready for Tim Gunn to take you under his wing? Think you've got what it takes to really wow Heidi Klum? If so, get ready. Project Runway is currently casting for its 10th season, and you've got until March 15 to throw your name in the hat.

While we're usually wary of reality television, we've weirdly always loved Project Runway, as its not just a random group of people "getting real" or facing off in ridiculous competitions. It's an up-close look at aspiring fashion designers as they receive guidance from one of the industry's best (Gunn, a former chair of fashion design at Parsons), refine and realize their creative visions and vie for a chance to show their work during New York Fashion Week. Oh, and the $100,000 that the winner receives to launch their own fashion line doesn't hurt either.

For your application (which you can download here) you'll need to whip up the following:

Two recent photos of yourself: one full-length shot and one close-up of your face

A "virtual portfolio" of your work with photos of 3-10 of completed designs, images of detail work that you have produced, images of patterns if you work from them and images of your sketches

A 3-5 minute personal video featuring a personal introduction, a summary of your design goals and achievements, why you need Project Runway to achieve your goals and anything else you think they need to know

Hit the jump to check out the casting flyer and a video mashup of what your Project Runway experience might be like. And if you think you need to brush up on some skills, feel free to peruse our wide variety of fashion classes.

All right designers, you've got two weeks. As Gunn would say, "Make it work!"
