The competition over atBravo’sProject Runwayis gettingsewtough — and judging from season 17’s midseason trailer, fans will be on pins and needles to see who makes it to the end!
PEOPLE has the exclusive premiere of what’s to come on the second half of hit reality fashion design show.
After this week’s episode, a total of10 talented designers remain in the competition: Tessa Clark, Bishme Cromartie, Venny Etienne, Sebastian Grey, Renee Hill, Sonia Kasparian, Lela Orr, Jamall Osterholm, Gary “Garo Sparo” Spampinato and Hester Sunshine.

That includes tackling two infamousProject Runwaychallenges of dressing everyday women (in this case, what appears to be local New York City servicewomen).
“Fashion has to become more inclusive,” mentor and formerProject Runwaywinner Christian Siriano tells contestants, while Kloss praises the designers for “celebrating these incredible women.”
There’s also a dreaded menswear challenge, though it appears to have a gender-bending, Elton John-inspired twist. “I think we need to give you male models more often,” jokes Kloss.
Of course, no one is backing down — even when Welteroth tells them they’ll be making a look that is “going to tell the world more about you than any other design in this competition.”
“There is no safe for me. I’m doing something crazy,” Sunshine says, summing up the mood for the group.
Project Runwayreturned to Bravo this season — where it premiered in 2004 and ran until 2008 — following a run at Lifetime.
Other guest judges coming this season, according to the midseason trailer, include Danielle Brooks and Morena Baccarin.
Project Runwayairs Thursdays (9 p.m. ET) on Bravo.
