Last Sunday, Project Runway: Middle East returned for a new season, promising more twists, drama and judges than ever before!

 

The biggest fashion show in the Arab world (and the rest of the globe) returned to our TV screens, and honestly, we feel extremely blessed — and somewhat confused. The show has introduced some major changes, and we’re not just talking about the facelift that was given to the workroom and the runway, nor are we talking about the audience that gets to attend the taping of the runway (we’re definitely not jealous!). We’re talking about a new host, advisor, permanent host, and of course, cast of designers!

 

So without further ado, here are the people who will “make it work!” this season on Project Runway.
