Season 2
Season 2 of Project Runway began airing on December 7, 2005. Following a nationwide search earlier in the year, sixteen designers were chosen as semi-finalists and brought to New York City in June, 2005. After the first challenge, called Road To The Runway, fourteen went on to compete as finalists. The winning designer, Chloe Dao, received $100,000 in seed money to help launch her own line, a 2007 Saturn Sky roadster, a spread in ELLE magazine, and a mentorship with the Banana Republic Design Team. Winning alongside Dao was her model, Grace Kelsey, who received the ELLE Magazine spread. Michael Kors and Nina Garcia returned as judges for the second season. The fourth judging seat rotated each week, based on the challenge. Tim Gunn, fashion chair at Parsons The New School for Design, returned as a mentor for the designers.

Season 2 contestants
The 16 contestants in Season 2 were:

Raymundo Baltazar, 24, from Los Angeles, California
Chloe Dao, 33, from Houston, Texas
Marla Duran, 51, from Allentown, Pennsylvania
Diana Eng, 22, from Jacksonville, Florida
Kirsten Ehrig, 37, from Los Angeles, California
Daniel Franco, 33, from Los Angeles, California
Andrae Gonzalo, 32, from Los Angeles, California
Zulema Griffin, 28, from New York, New York
Kara Janx, 29, from Johannesburg, South Africa
Emmett McCarthy, 42, from New York, New York
Santino Rice, 30, from Los Angeles, California

Nick Verreos, 38, from Los Angeles, California
Guadalupe Vidal, 29, from Los Angeles, California
Daniel Vosovic, 24, from New York, New York
John Wade, 24, from Los Angeles, California
(ages listed are the designers' ages at the time the show was taped in the summer of 2005.)

Daniel Franco had been a competitor in the first season and was eliminated in that season's first episode. Determined to show that the judges "made a mistake" in eliminating him so soon, he returned to the nationwide tryouts with samples from his own design line. The evaluation panel at the tryouts decided to give him one more chance and brought him back as a contestant for season two.

The 16 models competing for an ELLE spread in the second season were:

Allison McAtee, from Erie, Pennsylvania
Alyssa Daugherty, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Cara Roberts, from Darien, Connecticut
Claudia, from Germany
Danyelle Vilmenay, from Baltimore, Maryland
Eden Henderson, from Queens, New York
Eliza Jane
Grace Kelsey, from San Diego, California
Heather Brown
Lesley Ann Williams
Maria Lucia Santiago
Melissa Braiser, from New York, New York
Rachael Hartzog
Rebecca Holliday, from Savannah, Georgia
Shannon Fluet, from Boston, Massachusetts
Tarah Rodgers, from North Carolina

In episode 1, models were randomly assigned to designers.
In episode 2, designers could again choose their models, with the winner of the previous challenge choosing first and the other designers choosing in random order.
In episode 2, Raymundo's model, Maria, dropped out, so Allison, John's model from the first challenge was brought back.
Beginning in episode 3, only the winner of the previous challenge could decide whether to change his/her model. Since episode 3, only Zulema had changed her model. She picked Tarah and dropped Rachael in episode 8.
Since models are eliminated at the beginning of the next episode, no model was eliminated in episode 1.

Before arriving in New York, the 16 contestants being considered for positions in this season's competing cast were given six yards of plain white muslin, $20, and one week to create an outfit that best represents who they are as a fashion designer.
