"Project Runway" is back, bringing more fashion and excitement to the runway!
Season 21 sees the return of original host Heidi Klum, joined by a dynamic group of new designers, including returning alums, a drag superstar, twin brothers and more.
"It's just tough love," teased Law Roach, a new judge on the season, during his interview with "Good Morning America." "Because cultivating the next generation of talent is really important to me, and it always has been. I would be doing them a disservice if I was sugar coating things. So, you know, I give it to them the way the real world gives it to you, there's no soft parenting."
Christian Siriano, season 4 winner and mentor on the show, added, "I mean this season I think they're really talented designers, they're making incredible things and I think what people forget is, it really is 15 hours, sometimes 10 hours, they get no time, they create incredible things, and then we have to judge them, you know, it's a hard show."
"I know what it is like and I know what it's like to be in the real world in fashion too. So you do get judged pretty harshly. I mean, there's gonna be an actress that is like, 'I hate that dress, I'm never wearing it.' So they have to hear that," Siriano said. "But it's so fun. We have the best time. I'm in the work room, it's the best."
