Project Runway is always full of designer drama and crazy challenges, but judge Isaac Mizrahi says to expect more of both on Project Runway All Stars, airing Thursday night on Lifetime.

“It’s more drama because you’re talking about these people who have already gone the distance, but not exactly won, so they’re kind of being challenged again to try another time,” he tells PEOPLE. “And the tension in the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife.”

As for the challenges, “I think they made them harder on themselves,” Mizrahi says. “The stakes were raised because they had such incredible talent.”

Nina Garcia’s Favorite Holiday Shop? Target!

In addition to her duties as fashion director at Marie Claire and a Project Runway judge, Nina Garcia is also a proponent for frugal fashion.

“I was at Target last week and went crazy,” she tells Racked. “I found the cutest charcoal sequined clutch for $17! It has a strap to wear cross-body or you can tuck the strap inside — voilà! Two different looks. My rule during the holidays is if it sparkles and shines and makes you feel fancy, wear it!”

That said, she always comes back to a less is more principal. “Coco Chanel gave us the best wisdom here: Before leaving the house, a lady should stop, look in the mirror, and remove one piece of jewelry,” she suggests. “If you are wondering if it’s too much, it probably is.”

And one thing that’s always too much? “No one over the age of 10 should buy Crocs — unless you are Mario Batali,” she says definitively.

What to Expect on ‘Project Accessory,’ Premiering Tonight

We know the drill: designers receive a crazy challenge, they have less than 24 hours to create an amazing garment, and in the end, someone is in — and the rest are out. But while Project Accessory, premiering Thursday night, borrows some similarities from its big sibling Project Runway, host Molly Sims promises that the two shows are nothing alike.

“It’s a whole lotta something else,” she tells PEOPLE. “On Project Runway, they’re all talented, and making clothes through these difficult challenges, but we put another challenge on top of it. Some of these people have never made some of the things they had to make — shoes, jewelry. They haven’t worked with wire, or metal, or made a stiletto that a girl has to walk down the runway wearing. It’s incredibly challenging.”

The 12 contestants on Project Accessory make three different types of items throughout the competition: handbags, jewelry and shoes. “Sometimes they have to make them at the same time, other times they get to choose,” Sims shares.
