Models of the Runway was a spin-off show from the popular fashion design competition series, Project Runway, which aired on Lifetime from 2009 to 2010. Hosted by supermodel Heidi Klum, the show focused on the 16 models who were selected to showcase the season's designs on the catwalk.

The premise of the show was quite straightforward, featuring models from the current season of Project Runway. Throughout the series, the models appeared on the runway every week, modeling the designs created by the contestants. Each week, one designer was chosen to be eliminated, based on their performance during the challenge. However, the show's focus was on the models, their personalities, experiences, and relationships with the designers.

Models of the Runway gave audiences a behind-the-scenes look at the modeling industry and the lives of the models in the show, unlike Project Runway. The models shared their journeys on the show, from their casting experience to their views on the week's runway show. From the beginning of the series, the show explored the intense pressure that models faced while participating in Project Runway, as well as their efforts to become an essential part of the competition.

Heidi Klum also played a significant role in the series. She hosted the show, engaging with the models and designers in a more personal way. She also provided insight into the world of modeling and shared her own experiences. Alongside her were a group of judges from the industry, including Jeffrey Kurland, Nina Garcia, and Michael Kors. These judges evaluated the models' performances on the runway each week, and their feedback helped the models improve and succeed further in the competition.

One of the unique aspects of the show was its focus on the camaraderie and relationships between the models. As the show progressed, the models faced several challenges both on and off the runway, but they remained supportive of one another throughout the experience. They shared their struggles in the modeling industry, their personal goals and aspirations, and the drive it took to achieve success in the competitive world of fashion.

The show was well-received by audiences, especially those who were already fans of Project Runway. It provided a fresh perspective on the competition, giving audiences a glimpse into what the models went through during each challenge. It was also an opportunity to see the modeling industry through the models' perspective, something that was not typically shown on television.

Models of the Runway ran for two seasons, from 2009 to 2010. The show was a hit and added a new dimension to the series, making it more personal and relatable to viewers. The show ended when Project Runway moved back to its original network, Bravo, but it added value to the early years of Project Runway on Lifetime.

In conclusion, Models of the Runway was a fascinating spin-off show that gave audiences a closer look at the world of modeling and the models' experiences in the Project Runway competition. Its unique perspective, coupled with the personalities and support among the models, gave the show immense popularity and relevance to those who follow modeling and fashion. It remains a must-watch for anyone looking to gain insights into the fashion industry and the role that models play.

Models of the Runway is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (28 episodes). The series first aired on August 20, 2009.
