In fashion, one day you're in and the next day you're out. But sometimes you're given a second chance to make it work. "Project Runway All Stars" is back for a second season with a brand new cast. 13 of Project Runway's most creative and contentious designers return for a second chance at winning the biggest prize in the show's history. Since their respective seasons ended, these designers have created new lines, shown at New York Fashion Week, earned award nominations, landed celebrity clients, and honed their skills and aesthetics. It's a recipe for fierce competition if I've ever seen one.

Season One judges Isaac Mizrahi and Georgina Chapman and mentor Joanna Coles will be joined by a new host, supermodel Carolyn Murphy, as well as an awesome selection of guest judges that includes Katie Holmes, Kylie Minogue, Diane von Furstenberg and Jason Wu.

New episodes premiere Thursdays at 9.8c. Here are the designers on the roster for season 2 :
