Tim Gunn says Making the Cut benefits from having bigger budgets and advanced designs compared to Project Runway

Variety

“I would say Project Runway is the undergraduate program, Making the Cut is the graduate and PHD program,” Gunn said while he and Heidi Klum promoted their new Amazon fashion reality show, premiering March 27, at the TV press tour. “We always were a show that never had the biggest budget,” added Klum. “When you have a bigger budget like Amazon, you get to go to Paris and Tokyo and the designers get to inject this creativity.” ALSO: Klum recalls "everything kind of fell apart" with Project Runway on Lifetime.
