Format
Project Runway El Djazair uses a progressive elimination approach, whittling down an initial pool of 12 or more fashion designers to three or four before the final challenge. Each episode features a celebrity guest announcing a new challenge in which the designer must develop one or more new garments to be displayed at the fashion show. Challenges range from creative diversity to testing the designers' ingenuity while maintaining their personal fashion design aesthetic. Once the challenge is announced, designers are given a budget stipend to select and purchase fabrics and ideas, and then have a limited amount of time to complete their designs. Designers usually work independently, but some challenges require participants to work in teams or as a collective group. Once the deadline arrives, the designer must dress the model and choose hairstyle, makeup, and accessories.[4]
