4
5	----
6	!Chloe Dao
7	* ColorMotif: Most of her challenge pieces were blue dresses.
8	%%* GenkiGirl
9	* FunSize: She was the shortest of the cast. And even more noticeable when [[HugeGuyTinyGirl paired for the Team challenge with Emmett]].
10	* HeroicBSOD: She broke to tears when it was revealed the final collection needed to have an additional surprise look, as she felt she couldn't design anymore.
11	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: When she teamed up with Emmet.
12	** Also her fiance is more than OneHeadTaller than her.
13	* NiceGirl: Even thought she had her own opinions about people in the workroom (mostly against Santino), she still tried to be polite.
14
15	!Daniel Vosovic
16	* DisappointedInYou: His finale collection disappointed everyone and the judges, who expected better from him. It's so bad that the term "Vosovic'd"[[note]]The designer who had a strong run in the season created a disappointing finale collection[[/note]] derived from him.
17	* MyGreatestSecondChance: He won the ''All-Star Special'' Episode.
18	* NiceGuy
19	* {{Gayngst}}: One of his personal stories was about how he had a hard time to come out to his family, having recently come out months prior to the show.
20	* StraightGay: Most viewers didn't guess about his sexuality until he talked about it during the show.
21	* StraightMan: Daniel is the one who gave Nick a Pep Talk when he was distraught about the model switch.
22	* OneSteveLimit: Averted, there was also Daniel Franco.
23
24	!Santino Rice
25	* AffablyEvil: Not exactly evil. He just came off as constantly annoying and stubborn. (But he was really funny and entertaining, too.)
26	* BreakoutCharacter: He's probably one of the more visible former contestants given his participation in ''On The Road with Austin and Santino'' and as a recurring judge on ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace''.
27	* TheCastShowoff: He was ''constantly'' singing (usually tunes of his own making), and his impersonations of Tim Gunn and the judges are legendary among the show's fans.
28	* DesignatedVillain: Unlike Wendy, Santino was just arrogant and stubborn. He never plotted any kind of trick against his fellow competitors. [[invoked]]
29	* EasilyForgiven: Daniel Vosovic and Chloe forgave his JerkAss attitude during the show before the Finale.
30	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: At fashion week he dedicated his final collection to his mother, and has often cited her as his greatest influence.
31	* GloryDays: During the ''All-Stars Special'' Episode, he tried hard to being the Comic Relief of the cast again by repeating his old jokes. Didn't turn out well, instead annoying everyone in the room (to the point where even Jeffrey Sebelia -- his close personal friend, and the villain of his ''own'' season -- told him to knock it off).
32	* {{Jerkass}}
33	** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He did consider Nick, Daniel V. and Andrae his friends.
34	** JerkassHasAPoint: Althought Santino never voiced all his opinions to their faces, but to the ConfessionCam, he was right about Nick's garment for Daniel looked like a girl's jacket, and that Daniel was going to be in trouble if he didn't realize his collection wasn't right.
35	* MyGreatestSecondChance: Subverted in ''All-Stars Special'' Episode. Placed in the Bottom 4.
36	* RealMenWearPink: Says he has played with Barbies since he was a kid.
37	* ShipperOnDeck: Joked A LOT about [[RunningGag Tim Gunn hitting on Andrae]].
38	** [[FanFic He even invented a story where Tim and Andrae went on a date to Red Lobster]].
39	* SophisticatedAsHell: Whenever he is impersonating Tim Gunn.
40	--> '''Santino!Tim''': Designers. Up until now everyone f*ckin' sucked. However, go out there and kick butt.
41	* SincerestFormOfFlattery: Invoked by Santino when Tim confronted him about his impersonations.
42	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He was Manly Man, next to Andrae's Sensitive.
43
44	!Kara Janx
45	* GranolaGirl: Described by Santino
46	* HotBlooded
47	* TheStoner: Played for laughs in the flower challenge, where she commented it was a waste having all that grass and not smoke it.
48	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Fashion critics said that she might have won the show with her finale collection if she was not aufed over Chloe.
49
50	!Nick Verreos
51	* BreakoutCharacter: He's the most featured former contestant in general media.
52	** He hosted ice skating shows.
53	** Designed Creator/BrendaStrong's red carpet dress from his Nikki Hilton challenge garment.
54	** Is part of many of the audition castings for the new Project Runway seasons.
55	** He was featured blogger for many of the show's seasons at the official site.
56	* CampGay: Has a long-time male partner, and he participates in many of the singalongs in the workroom.
57	* ChekhovsGunman: He gets chosen to aid Daniel during the Finale.
58	* ControlFreak: In ''Under the Gunn'' he tended to overtake his designer's work and give a lot of input in the final results. Part of his CharacterDevelopment in that show had him learn that he had to trust more in the designers and just guide them enough, even if that meant letting them make mistakes. As a result, Oscar, one of the underdogs of the entire cast, ends up winning the whole competition.
59	* CoolUncle: He mentioned he was the "Uncle Nick who would give his niece the chicest Barbie".
60	* CoolTeacher: He teaches at FIDM and is generally regarded as a nurturing and patient teacher.
61	** Years later his teaching skills get to test for the spinoff "Under the Gunn".
62	* HeroicBSOD: Has this when Zulema switched models with him. Nick got it hard since he adored Tara, so he spent most of the episode sad and considering quitting the competition. He got over it in the last half of the episode.
63	* NiceGuy: In contrast to Zulema, Nick was very gentle to his models. While he initially was upset by the model switch (venting all his anger about how Rachael's walk sucked), he eventually came to terms with the situation and started to treat Rachael better. Both Rachael and Tara had stated that Nick was the sweetest designer to work with.
64	* PapaWolf: In ''Under the Gunn'', he got enraged when the designers from the other teams (including Mondo and Anya) were berating [[AllTheOtherReindeer Natalia]], reassuring her that she had all the right to be in the competition, despite what the others might say.
65	* RealMenWearPink: He won a Barbie challenge and the outfit made for him by Chloe for the makeover challenge had a pink back vest and pink shirt, and he looked awesome in it.
66	* ShockingElimination: Invoked during the Reunion Show. Many believed firmly that he was going to be in the Final Three.
67	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Santino. Even though he didn't want to either work in a team with Santino or take any of his annoying jokes, Nick declared in the reunion that part of him wants Santino to win in the Finale. Outside of Santino's {{Jerkass}} moments, he and Nick are seen having fun, being good roommates, and singing along in the workroom.
68	* TwoferTokenMinority: He is half-Venezuelan, half-Greek, and gay.
69
70	!Andrae Gonzalo
71	* BreakTheCutie: His first shop closed shortly before he started the show; he took it very hard.
72	* CampGay: His tee shirt says it all: "I'm So LA". He would generally go through a door twirling and dancing, as seen in a lengthy compilation of all his mannerisms.
73	* ChekhovsGunman: He gets chosen to aid Santino during the Finale.
74	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Even the other designers have trouble figuring out where he's coming from.
75	* DramaQueen: See ProneToTears below.
76	* GirlyRun: A good part of his clips include him running as effeminate as possible.
77	%%* {{Keet}}
78	* {{Hypocrite}}: In Episode 2, he sends his model with a denim qipao (a Chinese-style dress) and a straight dark brown wig, and then starts crying and venting about his personal drama. In the following episode, he gets very defensive about not putting a blonde wig on his model and keeping her natural afro and even starts debating stubbornly with the judges about the wig.
79	* MyGreatestSecondChance: He returned for ''All-Stars Season 2'', but subverted when he placed 10th.
80	* ProneToTears: The extended cut showed that his second episode meltdown lasted ''ten long minutes.''
81	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: He was Sensitive, next to Santino's Manly Man (or anyone for that matter).
82	* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: The others describe him talking with a "British-French-gay-weird" accent.
83
84	!Zulema Griffin
85	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: She didn't form bonds with anyone, instantly marking her territory from Day 1.
86	* BrutalHonesty:
87	** When teamed up with Kara, she told her to "Cut the cry or Cry and cut". Even Kara herself agreed Zulema was right.
88	** Although all the other designers were in shock for the model switch, Zulema was still right when she said her model didn't have a good walk and Nick should try to win to take Tara back instead of whining.
89	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When they moved to the apartments, Zulema immediately claimed the closet for herself, explaining in the confessionals how territorial she was, being the oldest of seven children. She only conceded to Marla ''one'' hanger.
90	* GollumMadeMeDoIt: Season 2's Zulema had an alter ego in Shatangi.
91	* HideYourLesbians: All the parts where she told the others about her wife were edited out.
92	* HotBlooded: Especially in Shatangi mode.
93	* {{Jerkass}}: She treated her models badly (Rachael hated her, while Tara complained about how she kept poking her with the needles while sewing the dress on her).
94	** JerkassHasAPoint: While she was treated as the villain for the model switch, Zulema wasn't in the wrong, since it was only logical to have a better model once given the opportunity.
95	* NeverMyFault: She mostly blamed her bad strike on her model Rachael because she didn't have the right walking technique, so she switched models at the first chance she got. Even then, her dress got her eliminated and not even Tarah's modeling could save it. During the Reunion show, she gets confronted about her poor treatment of Rachael during the competition, but she brushes it off and claims that she had to give her tough love so "she could evolve". Rachael promptly rolls her eyes at this response.
96	* SassyBlackWoman: She is a no-nonsense tough woman raised in the ghetto. Even shifted into [[ScaryBlackMan Scary Black Woman]] when in Shatangi mode.
97	* StatuesqueStunner: She used to work as a model.
98	* StraightGay: Even without the editing, you wouldn't suspect that she has a wife.
99
100	! Emmett [=McCarthy=]
101	* TheDandy: He always wore dress shirts and vests during the competition.
102	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: He is really tall. And even more noticeable when [[HugeGuyTinyGirl paired for the Team challenge with]] [[FunSize Chloe]].
103	* IneffectualLoner: In the first episode, Emmet aimed immediately for the room with the single bed, and was ok with having the apartment all for himself after his two roommates were eliminated. Also he isn't seen hanging out with Santino, Nick, Daniel, and Andrae after work hours, as he prefers to be far from the noise. At one point Andrae stated he thought of Emmet as a selfish person, which he later took back at the reunion.
104	* OnlySaneMan: Compared to Santino and the other male contestants, he was really the highlight of this trope in his season.
105	* TheQuietOne: He had few moments on camera, and the main reason why Santino chose to pin the blame on him was that he rarely gave any feedback during the lingerie challenge.
106	* SharpDressedMan: He started as a Menswear tailor before venturing into Women's clothing.
107	* TheStoic: Even when upset he didn't raise his voice.
108	* StraightGay: Compared to [[CampGay the rest of the openly gay contestants]], he was very low key.
109	* StraightMan: This explains why he didn't click with the other designers, as they were crazier and louder.
110
111	!Diana Eng
112	* AsianAndNerdy: She describes herself as a "Fashion Nerd", telling how in high school she read more science magazines than fashion magazines.
113	* ChekhovSGunman: She gets chosen to aid Chloe during the Finale.
114	* GadgeteerGenius: Her specialty is to incorporate technology in her pieces, like cameras in the hoodies, earplug earrings, magnet hooks, etc. She even released a book about this.
115	* InSeriesNickname: The other nicknamed her "Dirty Diana" when partying.
116	* NiceGirl: She had big patience considering she was in the same room with Guadalupe and Santino.
117	* OnlySaneWoman: Her team in the lingerie challenge was composed of [[CloudCuckooLander Guadalupe]] and [[TheLoad Marla]]. She was the only one holding them together.
118	** In the same challenge, Marla's model got pissy and didn't want to wear the outfit. Diana herself had to make her do it since it was her job.
119	* TheSmartGirl: She is a fashion ''and'' gadget designer.
120
121	! Marla Duran
122	* CoolOldLady: Subverted. While many of the designers liked her and she was overall a nice lady, everybody thought her below technical and design skills were going to get her out anytime soon.
123	* ExtremeDoormat: She quickly was intimidated by Zulema taking over the closet and conformed with having ''just one hanger'' out of it.
124	* SincerestFormOfFlattery: For the Nicky Hilton challenge, she started to rip off one of Nicky's dresses fom the catalogue, since she "didn't trust her own creative voice". After Tim pointed out she was being a copycat, she made slight changes to the dress, but it was still blatantly obvious the dress was a copy. What makes it worse is that she insisted all the time that ''[[BlatantLies it was her dress]]''. Marla was lucky Guadalupe made a dress so horrible that it gained the elimination instead.
125	* TeamMom: Averted. While her attitude was gentle and she kept mentioning she had to rise her son while running her boutique, the others had to teach her in the workroom how to put her garment together, since Marla was a self-taught dressmaker and the others had professional training.
126
127	! Guadalupe Vidal
128	* CantHoldHisLiquor: Look up for her response at the reunion show and try to understand half of it...
129	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Too much to list, but most prominent is her [[CantHoldHisLiquor answer in the reunion show about her elimination]].
130	** In her first episode, she mentioned her haircut was inspired in Creator/BruceLee, so she could beat the competition.
131	** For the lingerie challenge, her sketches for Heidi were... Comicbook inspired underwear with WrittenSoundEffect bubbles.
132	* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: All her designs. To the point she was eliminated instead of Marla (who ripped off her dress from one of the references, a big No for a self-respected designer in a ''design competition'').
133	* {{Jerkass}}: Where to begin...
134	** As Nick pointed out, Guadalupe was going to everyone's stations offering unrequested critiques. [[ImpossiblyTackyClothes Not that her design aesthetic was a model to take]], but still...
135	** She was seen picking on Kara's HotBlooded attitude while she was being incoherent.
136	** In the Nicky Hilton Challenge, she immediately mentioned to Nicky how Marla ripped off one of her dresses. Not that she needed that to be pointed out, as it was blatantly obvious, but not cool, Lupe...
137
138	! Daniel Franco
139	See [[Characters/ProjectRunwaySeason1 Season 1 Contestants]]
140
141	!Raymundo Baltazar
142	* CampGay: He certainly was on the same note as the others.
143	* DeadpanSnarker: Two quotes towards Daniel Franco...
144	-->'''Daniel Franco''': ''(joking while pointing at Kirsten)'' What's that?!
145	-->'''Raymundo''': You tell me. You're heterosexual.
146	-->''(later)''
147	-->'''Raymundo''': ''(about Daniel Franco's "GirlfriendInCanada")'' If the boy says he's straight, leave the boy think that.
148	* TransparentCloset: Inverted. He was accusing [[CampStraight Daniel Franco]] of not being straight. During the reunion, when it's revealed what he thought of Daniel in the confessional, he apologizes to him and has to accept that Daniel was straight after all.
149
150	!Kirsten Ehrig
151	* HelloAttorney: She is a lawyer and a swimsuit designer, and also modeled her own pieces.
152	* HonorBeforeReason: She refused to integrate her scarf into the garment because it was a family heirloom. When she was eliminated because of this, she said she didn't regret it, as she considered her family ties to be more important than the competition.
153	* ObviousPregnancy: Played with. After several months, the designers get together for the Reunion episode, and everyone is surprised when they see Kirsten is pregnant.
154	-->'''Daniel Franco''': (joking while pointing at Kirsten) What's that?!
155	-->'''Raymundo''': You tell me. You're heterosexual.
156	* TooDumbToLive: She had a scarf that she had to incorporate into her design, but she didn't because it was a family heirloom. On the runway, Nina and Heidi pointed out she didn't have to destroy it at all. she could have just draped it around her model.
157
158	! John Wade
159	* CampGay
160	* FormerlyFat: He slimmed down during the time between his elimination and the reunion show.
161
162	! Heidi Standridge
163	* TheDitz: She couldn't pronounce Raymundo's name correctly and then asks the cameraman where is Raymundo from.
164	* GenkiGirl: When she got casted, she {{squee}}d non-stop.
165	* MotorMouth: She talked A LOT and really fast.
166	* OneSteveLimit: Averted, since she had the same name as Heidi Klum.
167	* ThePollyanna: Even when she got eliminated in the first episode, she kept saying "I'm fine. Have a nice day!"
168
169	!The Models
170	Yes, because they competed as well.
171	* GenkiGirl: Tarah, seeing from her interactions with Nick.
172	* HiddenDepths: Grace is a professional illustrator.
173	* {{Jerkass}}: Cara, Marla's model, refused to wear one of the team's outfits. Diana had to make her do it, citing she had no room to complain since it was her job.
174	* OutOfFocus: Except for the Rachael-Tarah-Zulema drama, this season the models weren't shown having interaction with the designers that much.
175	* StatuesqueStunner: Grace was the tallest of them all. Heather was also tall since she was slightly shorter than Santino.
176	* UndyingLoyalty: Most of the designers bonded wonderfully with their models, to the point each challenge winner skipped the chance to swap models. The only exception was Zulema, who took the chance to grab Nick's model, and the others took it very badly at the moment.
177	* WardrobeMalfunction, MaleGaze: Rachael had this when wearing Zulema's sweater dress. It was so short that her butt was visible. Credit to her for keeping a straight face.
178
