This Emmy nominated show makes fashion fun and stylish once again. "It's time to sew!" quips Heidi Klum enticing viewers to tune in, and watch fashion designer's from all over the country to face off.

This reality shows can be found on Bravo, although the series just finished its fourth season, but do not feel you've missed out watch the reruns. The shows contestants compete against each other to create fashionable ensembles in a restricted time frame, and often using untraditional materials. Their designs are then judged by Heidi Klum, supermodel; Michael Kors, famed American fashion designer; Nina Garcia, Elle fashion editor; and usually a guest judge.

The designer's are all guided, and encouraged throughout the process by the ever stylish and fashionable Tim Gunn, chief creative office at Liz Claiborne. Gunn mentors these prodigy's, takes them shopping, and guides them through the fast paced ever changing world of fashion. Each week a designer is cut. The finale consists of the final three who are given the opportunity to show a collection at fashion week in New York City.

The winner is given an editorial feature in Elle, $100,000 from TRESEmme hair care products to start their own line, a 2008 Saturn, and the opportunity to sell their fashion line on Bluefly.com.

Besides turning out four winners the show popularity has spun some pop culture phrases of its own as well: "Make it work" Tim Gunn's notorious statement, "Auf Wiedersehen," said by Heidi Klum as the designer voted off is asked to leave, and you've been "Aufed" meaning you have been cut from the show.

The fourth seasons presented TV viewers with the most talented bunch of designers to date. While all four seasons have had some cutting edge designers, whose personalities really help, make the show enjoyable fun to watch with their inspired creations, the fourth season has really set the bar for future episodes.

While you may or may not be a fashionista the show is awe inspiring to watch. And if you don't know thing about fashion that is okay too, because the designers, the judges, and Tim Gunn are unknowingly explaining and teaching style methods during the show.

Project Runway is a fun, entertaining, awe inspiring reality show that is simply, "Making it Work!" Check it out on BRAVO and enjoy.
