* {{Keet}}
* MistressAndServantBoy: The other designers comment he and Kate come off this way, and she even flat out admits that one reason she likes to work with him is because he listens to what he says and takes a mostly passive role. [[spoiler:This unfortunately leads to them both getting eliminated]].
* RealMenWearPink: Lists ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' and ''Film/LegallyBlonde'' as two of his favories.
* TheQuietOne
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Or in his case, ducks. When Heidi has a duck on stage to introduce a challenge he's visibly uncomfortable and explains that he once had a duck chase him.
----
!Amanda Valentine
* CoattailRidingRelative: Something she desperately wants to avoid. Her brother James is a member of {{Maroon 5}} but she wants to be successful on her own right.
* NiceGirl
* PluckyGirl: She was in a good mood most of the time, even when she was the weak link in most of the challenges.
!Benjamin March
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was in an abusive relationship prior to the series, and still has issues because of it.
!Cindy Marlatt
* CantCatchUp: She was notably overshadowed in skill and designs, given that many of the competitors were experienced fashion designers, while she originally came from a Mortuary House and had been into fashion design for a short time recently.
* TeamMom: she was the oldest of the cast.
!Daniel Esquivel
* BadassMustache: His mustache is one of the first things the other designers comment on when they meet him.
* CampGay
* TheDandy
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Due to being bullied at school, Daniel used to be an alcoholic and drug addict.
* MessyHair: During Tim's home visit he's sporting curly hair that would make Creator/TimBurton jealous. Usually it's straightened and slicked down.
* TwoferTokenMinority: He refers to himself as being both Latino and gay and how this affected him growing up. However given the makeup of the show and his season's cast in particular he's far from being in the minority.
!Emily Pollard
* BreakTheHaughty: Starts off the first episode telling the other designers to watch out, she'll be the winner, etc., only for things to go south very quickly once the competition actually starts. [[spoiler:And to cap it off she's the first one out]].
* ImprobableAge: She's one of the youngest designers at 24. Only Kate, who's 23, is younger.
!James Martinez
!Joseph Aaron Segal
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* CrazyCatLady: He's obsessed with cats.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: His sweaters are cheerfully referred as this by him.
!Kate Pankoke
* ControlFreak: Refers to herself as this.
* GenkiGirl
* FieryRedhead
* ManipulativeBitch: By her own words, thoguht she never gets to do this in the competition.
* MistressAndServantBoy: The other designers comment that she and Tu come off this way, and she even flat out admits that one reason she likes to work with him is because he listens to what he says and doesn't really fight with her about what to do. [[spoiler:This unfortunately leads to them both getting eliminated]].
!Layana Aguilar
* GenkiGirl
* SpicyLatina: She is Brazilian.
!Matthew Arthur
* ApologizesALot: And this ultimately gets him eliminated, since while Michelle was also in the bottom she still stuck by her look.
!Michelle Lesniak Franklin
* TheJinx: At one point she wonders if she kicked a rabbit when she was a kid based on how often the team she's on ends up in the bottom. Including an instance where the team that had won two challenges in a row lost after she was transferred to them. Eventually [[spoiler:broken when she wins the Duck Tape challenge along with Amanda, and then later wins not only Lord & Taylor challenge but the entire season]].
* PerkyGoth: While not a completely straight example, since she wears colors other than black and her personal style could be described as "rocker chick" she otherwise fits.
* PluckyGirl: Something the judges admire about her, since she stands by her looks even when the judges criticize them. This attitude also inspired her final collection, which cast the women as "hunters" and "lone wolves" going in for "that last kill."
* SteamPunk: Her Final Collection's theme.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Whenever she winds up on the same team as Patricia, which happens distressingly often. Patricia for her part seems oblivious to Michelle's feelings about her.
!Patricia Michaels
* BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins: Several things she wears has this aesthetic, and she proudly identifies as a Native American. She also think she's the first Native American contestant on the show, but Santino Rice from Season 2 also had Native ancestry.
* CareerVersusMan
* FatalFlaw: Her ability in textile design was considered talented by many, but she lacks the skills into using them for fashion design, in a fashion design competition.
* UsefulNotes/NativeAmericans: She is proud of her Native American heritage, reflecting it in every single one of her entries for the competition, and even in the first day she did a traditional BattleCry.
* RapunzelHair: Her hair goes past her waist and is frequently braided.
* SignatureStyle: Her designs mostly showcase how she "creates her own textiles" and incorporates elements of her Native American background, like fringe or horse hair.
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Played with. While she's the "technician" in the sense of making many of her own textiles her general aesthetic moves more towards the "performer" side.
!Richard Hallmarq
* BaldOfAwesome
* CampGay
* CripplingOverspecialization: The man can do amazing things with jersey knit. Unfortunately this comes at the cost of just about everything else.
* GreenEyedMonster: After Stanley picks Layana over him he takes the gold duck tape seemingly just to spite him, since he'd been sure he'd be picked. The other designers also comment on it.
* ImpossiblyTackyClothes: His garments are described as such by the other designers.
* TheLoad: He winds up playing this to Patricia on a team challenge, and lands them in the bottom two. While he goes home that week the next week he winds up on a team with her ''again'' as her "randomly selected" sewing assistant, and she more or less has a HeroicBSOD, but manages to pull through. And then happens a third time when he's Stanley's sewing assistant.
!Samantha Black
* OnlySaneMan: When stuck on a team with Richard an Layana, who despise each other. She mostly just keeps to herself and tries to keep things from imploding. [[spoiler:She pays for it and gets auf'd]].
%%* NiceGirl
!Stanley Hudson
* ControlFreak: Referred to as such by the judges. In the finale this bites him in the butt because he has tons of work left to do and doesn't really follow the judge's critiques.
* EatingTheEyeCandy: Subverted, during the "Thunder from Down Under" challenge when the dancers come out the camera focuses on [[CampGay Daniel and Richard]] grinning like kids in a candy store. Stanley on the other hand looks [[http://wpc.4d27.edgecastcdn.net/004D27/2013/ProjectRunway/PRS11E8/PRS11E8S+2.jpg apprehensive or even horrified]].
* {{Jerkass}}: Zig-zagged during the Marie Claire challenge. On the one hand, he pushes Tu very hard to the point that the other designers seem appalled, but he seems sincere when he credits Tu for helping him while being judged.
* LookalikeLovers: Though his partner is white they otherwise look very similar, including similar tastes in eyewear.
* RidiculousProcrastinator: Everyone up to and including Tim Gunn were horrified when they realized that he came to the final runway with ''tons'' of work left to do. He was sewing models into their dresses literally ''seconds'' before they were sent out on the runway.
* TheStoic: Usually, though he loses it a bit when working with Patricia for the Lord & Taylor challenge.
* StraightGay: To the point that some viewers were genuinely surprised when he introduced his male partner of 20 years to Tim during his home visit. There was also his reaction to the male dancers.
!Tu Suthiwat Nakchat
* CampGay: Though his orientation is not made clear in the actual show.
* FunnyForeigner: He is from Thailand and is ''very'' quirky.
* {{Keet}}
* MistressAndServantBoy: The other designers comment he and Kate come off this way, and she even flat out admits that one reason she likes to work with him is because he listens to what he says and takes a mostly passive role. [[spoiler:This unfortunately leads to them both getting eliminated]].
* RealMenWearPink: Lists ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' and ''Film/LegallyBlonde'' as two of his favories.
* TheQuietOne
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Or in his case, ducks. When Heidi has a duck on stage to introduce a challenge he's visibly uncomfortable and explains that he once had a duck chase him.
