The Project Runway Judges Just Celebrated Season 19 in the Most Epic Way

Break out your favorite lewks because the most fashionable time of year is officially upon us! Bravo's Project Runway's Season 19 premiere is coming up this week (on Thursday, October 14, to be exact!), and mentor Christan Siriano as well as judges Brandon Maxwell and Nina Garcia stepped out in the Big Apple to celebrate all things Season 19. The trio, of course, went epic with their celebration by joining forces at the Empire State Building on Wednesday (October 13).

Christian, Brandon, and Nina all marked the new season with a lighting ceremony event at the iconic NYC landmark and looked fabulous and chic in the process (duh!).

The event perfectly encapsulates what fans can expect from the new season, which just so happens to be a love letter to all things NYC.

The three fashion icons, along with fellow fashionista and judge Elaine Welteroth (who announced her pregnancy this week), will welcome 16 new designers to the new season of Project Runway. The fashion designers will compete across New York City at cultural destinations like Lincoln Center and the beautiful hidden gardens at Rockefeller Center. The new season will include A-list guest judges and plenty of challenges along the way. Of course, they will have to prove they have what it takes to show a collection at New York Fashion Week and be the next great name in fashion.

Season 19 of Project Runway premieres Thursday, October 14 at 9/8c. And you can catch up on Project Runway the next day on Peacock.
