Thirteen of television's most memorable and talented designers make their way back to the workroom to try to sew up a win on season five of Lifetime's hit series PROJECT RUNWAY ALL STARS (#PRAllStars), premiering tonight, February 11 at 9pm ET/PT. The designers will have a new twist to contend with this season as Alyssa Milano, Isaac Mizrahi and Georgina Chapman will be judging an "anonymous runway" for the very first time and won't know which designer created each garment.

The designers will also face Project Runway's Nina Garcia and Zac Posen, supermodel Coco Rocha, celebrity stylist Johnny Wujek, and TV personalities
