Sixteen talented, spunky and full of life designers arrive at Madison Square Garden to kick off a new season of Project Runway. They are greeted by Heidi and Tim who have them do a mad dash around the venue for fabric. Supermodel and Project Runway Junior host Hannah Davis is the guest judge.

In the first team challenge of the season, the designers are paired up and treated to a day on a Celebrity Cruise ship. For some of the duos, the friendly seas are left behind and they hit some rocky water in the workroom. Tracee Ellis Ross guest judges.
