6. Project Runway taught people that models can be smart as well as beautiful.

Producer Jonathan Murray: “From day one Heidi has been a huge factor in the success of the show. She has great instincts about everything. She is not afraid to express what she thinks and is not afraid to show that she believes in someone. When Bunim/Murray stepped in to the show in Season 6 she was pretty seasoned. As new producers to the show we saw that what she had to say had a lot of value. Just spending time with her you quickly see how good her instincts are.”
