Karlie Kloss And Christian Siriano Are Taking Over 'Project Runway'

Project Runway made a different kind of fashion statement on Wednesday, announcing that model Karlie Kloss and designer Christian Siriano would take over the roles once filled by Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn .

As someone who grew up watching Project Runway, I could not be more excited to host and produce a series that provides a platform to aspiring American designers as they pursue their creative and entrepreneurial dreams, Kloss said in a statement, according to USA Today . Kloss is also a member of a board of advisers to Oath, HuffPosts parent company.

Siriano, the Season 4 winner of the design competition who has dressed such luminaries as Jennifer Lopez and Michelle Obama , has signed on to be a mentor on the show.

I hope to guide and inspire the new talent on the rise, he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter .

Elle editor-in-chief Nina Garcia is slated to return as a judge, and will be joined by former Teen Vogue editor-in-chief Elaine Welteroth and designer Brandon Maxwell , Bravo noted in a tweet.

The boldest runway collection yet.
