Tim Gunn Brings Fashion Sense To 'Project Runway'

Fashion expert Tim Gunn stopped by to talk his role as a judge and mentor on the Lifetime Television series Project Runway.

Project Runway focuses on fashion design and is hosted by supermodel Heidi Klum. The contestants compete with each other to create the best clothes and are usually given little materials and a short amount of time. Their designs are judged and one or more designers are eliminated each week.

Prior to working for Liz Claiborne, Gunn served as the chairman of fashion design at Parsons the New School for Design. Gunn has lectured widely on fashion and lifestyle design. His interviews have appeared in a wide range of publications which include Newsweek, The New York Times, People and Entertainment Weekly.

Project Runway premieres on Lifetime tonight, August 20 at 10 p.m. For more information, visit www.mylifetime.com.
