Heidi Klum And Tim Gunn On Differences Between Amazon’s ‘Making The Cut’ And ‘Project Runway’ - Deadline
“For the first time our audience can shop — it’s a win-win situation,” said Klum about how Making the Cut is different from Project Runway. “It was never possible before.”
In the 10-episode series, which premieres March 27, twelve designers, who were culled from thousands, compete in New York, Paris and Tokyo to bring their brands to a new level. As the panel points out, it’s not only about fashion design but it’s about building it into a global brand. More than that, it takes the premise of Project Runway and builds on it.
Each week, two episodes will debut and the winning look of each episode will be available for purchase (each look will go for under $100) immediately after the show on Amazon in 200 territories where the series will be available. The winner of the whole shebang will receive one million dollars to invest in their brand and the opportunity to create an exclusive line available on Amazon Fashion.

The pair’s new fashion series “Making the Cut,” which premieres March 27th on Amazon, is just that. Klum and Gunn talked the differences between “Project Runway” and their new Amazon show “Making the Cut” during a panel at the Amazon Television Critics’ Association press tour day.
Gunn started things off by saying that “Making the Cut” would never have existed without “Project Runway,” before explaining how the new show benefits from more advanced designs and bigger budgets.
“I would say ‘Project Runway’ is the undergraduate program, ‘Making the Cut’ is the graduate and PHD program,” Gunn said. “We always were a show that never had the biggest budget,” added Klum. “When you have a bigger budget like Amazon, you get to go to Paris and Tokyo and the designers get to inject this creativity.”
One key difference between the two series is that each designer is given a seamstress who deals with the basics of forming the clothing, but does not get involved with the designs. Gunn said the decision to add seamstresses was made “because that’s how it’s done in the real world.”
Klum revealed that some of the winning designs from the show will be available to buy for $100 or fewer on Amazon after each episode airs. The clothing will be available in many different sizes (“triple extra small to triple extra large”), and Klum said that each fashion show will allow designers to come up with one look which is “more of a free for all,” and one which is designed to be more wearable and sold online.
