Supermodel Heidi Klum, Marie Claire creative director Nina Garcia, and fashion designer Zac Posen all returned as judges this season. Tim Gunn maintained his role as the workroom mentor.
In a post-season interview Tim Gunn expressed his disappointment with the designers of this season citing a deficiency of energy in them for the title.[1] He stated that he 'hated' the entire season labeling the progress of the contestants as 'lackluster'.[2]
