Catching up: Like a cozy, somewhat frayed, albeit designer, bathrobe, “Project Runway” returns for a seventh season overall and a second season on Lifetime. This season, the formula remains the same, but, thank heavens, it’s back in New York City.

What it’s about: Sixteen designers from near and far vie to show their duds at New York Fashion Week, and other spoils, including a cash prize of $100,000 from L’Oreal Paris to start their own businesses. The contestants, as always, are a patchwork quilt of looks and personalities — drama queens, nutsy types, crybabies and egomaniacs, and this season, the guys are drowning in shocking amounts of hair product.

Of note so far, Anthony Williams, a laugh riot from Georgia who incites a mini-hissy fit from Heidi Klum (pregnant and beautiful — she had her baby girl, Lou, in October). Each week, contestants compete in fashion challenges, are mentored by Tim Gunn, and judged by Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia — Kors still brilliant and hilarious, Garcia the consummate pro — both of whom were unfortunately often absent last season due to the location.

My say: It’s the first and still the best fashion reality show series, and the fact that it’s back in New York makes it fit and feel all the better.
