Project Runway: Junior is an American reality television series that premiered on November 12, 2015 on Lifetime. It is the eighth direct spin-off series of another series Project Runway aired on the same network. It features twelve teen designers aged between 13 and 17. The designers are described by Tim Gunn as "kids [who] have grown up watching this show" (Project Runway).[1]

The show is co-hosted by Tim Gunn and Hannah Davis, with Gunn also serving as the designers' workroom mentor. In his role as mentor, Tim Gunn has a "Tim Gunn Save" with which he may bring back an eliminated designer once per season at his discretion. The three judges are fashion designer Christian Siriano (Project Runway Season 4's winner), fashion critic and designer Kelly Osbourne and Aya Kanai, executive fashion editor at Cosmopolitan and Seventeen magazines.

According to Executive Producer Sara Rea, Project Runway: Junior is a re-creation of the original adult series with no concessions in the difficulty of challenges or critiques being made for the contestants' ages. The unconventional challenge featured items from a car wash and one challenge was introduced by First Lady Michelle Obama.[2] The winner of Project Runway: Junior will receive a full scholarship to the prestigious Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in California, a complete home sewing and crafting studio provided by Brother, a feature in Seventeen Magazine and a $25,000 cash prize, to help launch their line.[3]
