The 13 returning designers won’t be able to lean on their past relationships as they’ll face a whole new panel of critics with supermodel Angela Lindvall hosting, Marie Claire Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles taking up the mentor duties, and designers Isaac Mizrahi and Georgina Chapman rounding out the judges’ panel.

They’ve got some pretty formidable guest judges planned, as well. Hello, Miss Piggy! Plus, model Miranda Kerr and musician and producer Pharrell Williams, among others.

The prize is pretty special, folks. The winner receives an exclusive designer boutique in select Neiman Marcus locations and on the store’s website, $100,000 dollars in technology and office space from HP and Intel, $100,000 cash from L’Oreal Paris, a feature spread in Marie Claire, a guest editor position at the magazine for one year, and a sewing and embroidery studio provided by Brother International. This could get ugly.

The Weinstein Company and Bunim-Murray Productions produce Project Runway All Stars.
