Near the end of each show, a selection process occurs, during which Project Runway fashion designers choose which model they wish to work with for the week.
All of the models stand in a runway lineup with Heidi Klum in the center, while the designers sit on the ground floor facing them.

Tim Gunn also appears during the final scenes, typically complimenting the model and reminding her that she must promptly pack up and head home.
