Format
Project Runway Middle East uses progressive elimination to reduce the initial field of 12 or more fashion designers down to three or four before the final challenge. Each Episode features a celebrity guest who announces a new challenge, which requires the designers to develop one or more pieces of new clothing to be presented at a runway show. The challenges range in creative diversity to test the designers' ingenuity while maintaining their personal fashion design aesthetic. After the Challenge announcement The designers are given a budgeted stipend to select and purchase fabric and notions, and then provided a limited amount of time to finish their designs. Often, the designers work independently, although on some challenges, contestants must work in teams or as a single collective group. Once the deadline is reached, the designers must dress their models and select their hair, make-up, and accessories. Each model walks down the runway, and the garment the contestant made is rated by the panel of judges, including the world renowned Lebanese designer Elie Saab, Tunisian fashion model, actress and television presenter Afef Jnifen and finally Egyptian actress and singer Yousra
