The MVPs from past seasons of the Emmy(R) Award nominated series PROJECT RUNWAY are being judged once again on Project Runway All Stars, which airs Thursdays at 9:00pm ET/PT on Lifetime. On last night's episode, Miss Piggy joined the judges panel and gave her critique of the competitior's designs. Contestant Michael Costello's dress for the Muppet star was chosen as the episode's winning design.

Thirteen of the show's most talented and memorable designers have come back to the catwalk to face a brand new panel of discerning eyes with host supermodel Angela Lindvall, world-famous designers Isaac Mizrahi and Georgina Chapman as judges and fashion tastemaker and mentor, Marie Claire Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles. The designers have already shown what they can do and have created names for themselves since appearing on their seasons but will they have what it takes to impress these fashion elites? They must also show off their fashion prowess to guest judges such as the iconic Miss Piggy, supermodel Miranda Kerr and musician and producer Pharrell Williams, among others throughout the season. The All Star designers set to take the Runway once again are:

· Kenley Collins (Brooklyn, NY) - Season Five, Second Runner-up

· Michael Costello (Palm Springs, CA) - Season Eight, Fourth Place

· Gordana Gehlhausen (San Diego, CA) - Season Six, Fourth Place

· Mondo Guerra (Denver, CO) - Season Eight, Runner-up

· Mila Hermanovski (Los Angeles, CA) - Season Seven, Second Runner-up

· Austin Scarlett (New York, NY) - Season One, Fourth Place

· Jerell Scott (New York, NY) - Season Five, Fourth Place

· Sweet P/Kathleen Vaughn (Pasadena, CA) - Season Four, Fifth Place

· Anthony Williams (Atlanta, GA) - Season Seven, Fifth Place

The winner of Project Runway All Stars will receive the most lucrative prizing ever in Project Runway history.
