As previously announced, Michael Kors -- who sat out as a judge this season due to other commitments -- will return as a judge for the finale alongside Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia and Zac Posen, who replaced Kors this season.
Two-hour episodes will air from 9-11 p.m. Thursday for three straight weeks starting April 11, when John Legend serves as guest judge and helps decide which designers get to show collections at Fashion Week. That episode also will see the remaining designers travel to Paris, Barcelona, Berlin and London to get inspiration for the final challenge.
The two-part finale, starting April 18, will again see mentor Tim Gunn travel to the designers' hometown to offer guidance on their collections. The final runway show at Lincoln Center and naming of the winner will air the following week.
