Zac Posen filling Michael Kors' "Project Runway" seat

Zac Posen is going to be the new featured judge on "Project Runway," filling the chair that Michael Kors sat in for the show's first 10 seasons.

Posen called the role "an amazing opportunity" and said he hoped to give a new perspective to the competing designers.

Kors isn't "out" -- as host Heidi Klum likes to tell contestants who get kicked off the fashion reality series. His schedule didn't allow a commitment, but he will come back as a guest judge for the season finale, according to a statement from Lifetime.

Another twist to the revamped "Project Runway" is that contestants compete as teams instead of individuals.

The 11th season of "Project Runway" premieres on Lifetime on Jan. 24 at 9 p.m. ET.
