Anyone who’s seen every episode of Project Runway and is now having major fashion-TV withdrawals will be so, sooooo excited about this news – the Lifetime network that Project Runway is a part of have got a new show in the pipeline – and it’s going to be fronted by our very own Alexa Chung.
The show, which is rumoured to be called “24-Hour Catwalk”, will show designers competing against each other in runway challenges, with the iconic designer Cynthia Rowley apparently taking part in the show. No doubt Alexa will pull out all the fashion stops when it comes to her outfits for the show. She’ll also need to get a cute little phrase she says at the end of each show, like when Heidi Klum says “Auf Wiedersehen!”.
We hope that this project goes ahead SO MUCH. Nothing beats sitting in your PJs on a Sunday night eating ice-cream and watching tearful designers screaming at each other while they huddle over their sewing machines like prisoners of war.

Execs at Lifetime have responded to the concerns of many Project Runway fans by making few changes to the reality show from its original home at Bravo. After nine months of legal battles and other setbacks, the first images of season six have hit the web, showing the same set, logo, panel, etc. The only difference seems to be the location, it is shot in L.A. instead of New York.
”I was shocked. It was déjà vu. I was looking forward to different scenery, and everything was the same!” Heidi Klum said, after hoping that a new network would equal a show overhaul. I guess for some fans the familiarity will be comforting, but for others perhaps a little stale?
Project Runway cycle six is due to premiere on Lifetime August 20.

Heidi Klum is facing pressure to find a new network home for Project Runway, after it was dumped by Bravo for a copycat designer reality show, called Fashion House.
TV execs at Bravo have all ready opened auditions for the replacement series, announcing casting call dates in four major cities, which began in New York on Sunday.
Series owner, Harvey Weinstein, sold the series to Lifetime for a reported $150 million last summer. But that deal was blocked by Bravo, which issued a court order to stop the sale.
The case is due back in court next month, however it seems that plans to pause production on a clone show until it is settled have been scrapped.

After yesterday’s announcement that Nina Garcia had left her position as fashion director at Elle, certain editors and industry people felt comfortable expressing their pleasure at the move. There was talk that Garcia hadn’t really been fashion director for years, it was just a title, and she was rarely in the office.
Better swallow those words, people. It looks like all the trouble with Project Runway moving from Bravo to Lifetime has caused problems for the magazine, which is signed on for one more year of participation with Bravo, and Garcia, a popular judge on the program.

The Bravo Network has long had a hold on fashion fans with projects that reach out to creative communities. Project Runway made the network the channel to watch if you were interested in the fashion industry.
Now it seems Lifetime, home to melodramatic made-for-tv movies for housewives, is surely hoping for the same cache as they make a play for the show.
