These contestants will be competing for the prize package of $100,000 to start their own line, a Marie Claire fashion spread, a 2013 Lexus GS 350, a $50,000 technology suite, and an opportunity to design and sell an exclusive collection at Lord & Taylor. That’s quite the grand prize, so we can’t wait to watch them battle it out!

In preparation for season 10, we’re taking a look back at 10 of our favorite contestants from Project Runway’s past. Which is your fave?

Christian Siriano – There’s no better way to describe this season 4 winner other than his famous catchphrase word: Fierce!

Uli – We loved how her cool, relaxed vibe was shown by her choices of light, flowy fabrics. We could easily wear some of her maxi dresses to the beach!

Mondo Guerra – This self-taught designer may not have won over the judges in season 8, but we were blown away by his bold designs.

Chris March – With his quirky, upbeat personality and hilarious giggle, Chris was the most hilarious season 4 contestant.

Laura Bennett – True, she may have been stuck up and tight, but her style was simply classic.

Jay McCarroll – He was the life of the party, and his funky styles totally matched his outgoing personality.

Kenley Collins – She may look like a sweetie but she could deliver some pretty nasty quips. Regardless, the Zooey Deschanel lookalike stood out to us.

Anya Ayoung Chee – We were super impressed with the quick thinking and creative designs of this season 9 winner and fan favorite, especially since she just learned to sew a few months before the show!

Jay Nicolas Sario – He only placed 4th in season 7, but we were stunned by his fashion-forward pieces.

Mychael Knight – We loved how he incorporated his hip hop background into his designs.

Be sure to tune in to a new season of Project Runway July 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Lifetime.
