Supermodel Heidi Klum, Marie Claire creative director Nina Garcia, and fashion designer Zac Posen all returned as judges this season. Tim Gunn maintained his role as the workroom mentor.
In a post-season interview Tim Gunn expressed his disappointment with the designers of this season citing a deficiency of energy in them for the title. He stated that he 'hated' the entire season labeling the progress of the contestants as 'lackluster'.

Episode 1: Mad Dash Mayhem
Original airdate: August 6, 2015
The sixteen designers of Project Runway Season 14 went to Madison Square Garden for their first challenge. They had to create a look that expressed themselves as designers using fabrics found around the arena. Before the designers began to work, Tim Gunn announced to the designers that David, Swapnil, and Merline didn't bring their own personal tool kits while everyone else did.
Guest Judge: Hannah Davis
WINNER: Ashley
ELIMINATED: Duncan
Episode 2: It's All in the Cards
Original airdate: August 13, 2015
The fifteen designers go to Hallmark where they have two minutes to choose as many Hallmark Signature cards as possible to create a look. They had to use the cards as their materials and their inspiration. David and Ashley (who had immunity) were both told by the judges that they didn't follow the rules because there was exposed muslin.
The designers must create ready-to-wear looks to be reproduced and sold online; a disagreement between the judges leads to the most contentious runway yet.
ELIMINATED (WAS LATER SAVED BY "TIM GUNN SAVE"): Edmond
