Since the hit reality show Project Runway first aired in 2004, we've watched would-be designers sew, cut, and cry. We've also seen them struggle through "unconventional" challenges, initiate model walk-offs, bore Nina, and make it work. After 16 seasons, Tim Gunn, Zac Posen, and Heidi Klum have all said "auf wiedersehen" to the show, but it's safe to say the show's fever hasn't waned. This March, the series's 17th season will premiere on its OG network, Bravo, with an all-new panel featuring season four winner Christian Siriano and supermodel Karlie Kloss.
So what happens after you get kicked "auf"ed? Read through to see how all the designers are making their way through life post-Project Runway.
