While it may be hard for Project Runway to land style icons bigger than Sarah Jessica Parker or Victoria Beckham, the producers will always try to outdo themselves.

Here are the list of celebrity names we should expect to see on the reality show’s last season on Bravo: Diane Von Furstenberg, Sandra Bernhard, Apolo Ohno, Brooke Shields, LL Cool J, RuPaul, Rachel Zoe, Cynthia Rowley, and Francisco Costa.

Meanwhile, the hosts claim they’ve managed to find the most exciting cast to date. (Isn’t that what they say every year?) According to Heidi Klum, “We’ve got some truly talented, innovative and deeply creative designers this year, and I think it’s fair to say, the most diverse—everyone from a rocker chick who mostly works with leather to a more bohemian surfer boy, and everything in between.”

Here are the 16 characters we will either come to love or hate over the next few months. (You can see a sneak preview of the show with the designers below.)

• Blayne, 23, from Seattle
• Daniel, 25, from Brooklyn
• Emily, 27, from Los Angeles
• Jennifer, 27, from Pistoia, Italy
• Jerell, 28, from Los Angeles
• Jerry, 32, from New York City
• Joe, 41, from Troy, Mich.
• Keith, 26, from Salt Lake City
• Kelli, 27, from Columbus, Ohio
• Kenley, 25, from Brooklyn
• Korto, 33, from Mabelvale, Ark.
• Leanne, 27, from Portland, Ore.
• Stella, 42, from New York City
• Suede, 37, from Barryville, N.Y.
• Terri, 39, from Columbus, Ohio
• Wesley, 23, from New York City

(Pre-judging them based on their names alone, I think Korto and Suede are two we are going to have to watch out for.)

Project Runway‘s fifth season begins this Wednesday @ 9pm on Bravo.
