Since 2004, eager designers with nascent ambitions have been clawing at their fellow contestants with needle and thread on the Bravo-turned-Lifetime reality show Project Runway. Even in our novelty-focused entertainment era, the elimination-style fashion show has managed to hang on for a surprisingly lengthy 125-episode run, and, will lurch into its tenth season (thirteenth, if you include spin-off seasons) tonight at 9 p.m.
