It is full-steam ahead with season six for Project Runway. Despite moving to a whole new network, the designer reality TV show is back for another round with Heidi Klum at the helm. Mentor Tim Gunn, and judges Nina Garcia, and Michael Kors are also back, as well as whole host of celebrity guest judges.
Way at the bottom of a long article on the legal disputes surrounding season six of Project Runway, WWD revealed some interesting tidbits about the sixth season, which just wrapped filming in L.A.
We can look forward to guest judges like Rebecca Romijn, Eva Longoria and Lindsay Lohan - some of the show’s biggest celeb names yet. But what of big designer names? Hopefully the left coast relocation hasn’t put the kibosh on more industry-insider guests.
What won’t we see? Too much of Nina Garcia or Michael Kors, according to reports.
This week we borrow our designer pick of the week from Nina Garcia’s upcoming “The One Hundred.” A follow up to “The Little Black Book of Style,” “The One Hundred outlines the one hundred items every fashionable girl should own.
Wolford tights made the list, making them even more lustworthy in our eyes. Plus, we all remember when Blair deemed them the only thing you can get for $50 these days on Gossip Girl.
As word trickles in that Nina Garcia is starting to settle in to her new post as fashion director at Marie Claire, the rumor that the magazine will replace Elle as partner for Project Runway is gaining momentum.
Sources have said that Garcia’s requests for high-fashion items for Marie Claire fashion spreads are increasingly at odds with the magazine’s more mass-market sensibility. This would also seem true of the partnership with Project Runway.
Between the move to L.A., the switch to Lifetime, and the addition of Marie Claire, will Project Runway continue be the fashion juggernaut we’ve all come to love? At least all the stars – Garcia, Michael Kors, Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum - have signed on to jump networks with the program.
If you’re saying “what? Project Runway starts tonight?” that’s probably because Bravo has conspicuously foregone it’s traditional media blitz and non-stop marathons used to promote new seasons.
Could it be because of the ongoing legal issues surrounding the show’s move to Lifetime for season 6? Probably.
But there is news to be had – for goss on possible guest judges and challenges, keep reading.
Well thank goodness, Nina Garcia has made one decision at least. While we’re still unsure if she’ll be returning to Elle as an editor-at-large for the 5th season of Project Runway, she will be joining Marie Claire fashion director in September.
She will attend spring fashion week with the magazine, and should the title be named the sponsor of Project Runway season 6, she’ll surely reprise her judging role.

The drama keeps on coming for Project Runway. We told you last week how Nina Garcia, former Elle fashion director and Project Runway judge, was rumored to be headed to Marie Claire. Coincidentally, or not at all, that publication is lobbying to be the magazine partner for Project Runway’s sixth season which will air on Lifetime network, which is owned by the same parent company as Marie Claire.
Plus, rumors have been buzzing about the possibility of Elle re-hiring Nina Garcia as an editor-at-large for the duration of the season five of Project Runway, the last season Elle is contracted for.
Got all that? Good. Now keep reading for the latest goss.
Apparently, Nina Garcia is headed for Marie Claire!
We reported earlier that Marie Claire was rumored to be in the running to replace Elle Magazine as the Project Runway partner magazine, and now more pieces of the puzzle are coming together.
The job move and magazine partnership would clear the way for Garcia’s continued presence on Project Runway, which has been hotly debated.

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.
Rumors are swirling that Nina Garcia has resigned from her position as Fashion Editor at Elle magazine.
Garcia’s contract was up for renewal and while it is yet to be confirmed, the magazine is said to have parted ways with the Project Runway star.
Last March, she left Elle on maternity leave. Upon her return she was given a monthly fashion column to write. The reasons behind her departure are at this time unclear, but her exit does coincide with the news that Project Runway is jumping channels from Bravo to Lifetime.

Fabsugar has been on a Who Wore It Better marathon! Take your choice between Heidi Klum or Jennifer Hudson in a Michael Kors jumpsuit (yes, we said jumpsuit), Audrina Patridge or Mischa Barton in an Alexander Wang metallic dress (Audrina just looks cold) and Dancing With the Stars’ Julianne Hough or Susan Sarandon’s daughter Eva Amurri in a Jay Godfrey bow dress (this is our favorite look).

Fashionista points out that Nina Garcia is kind of contradicting her own magazine on Project Runway. On last night’s ep the judges threw some “passe” fashions at the wannabe designers to remake, the only problem is that many of these fashions have been recently featured in Elle!

Oscar de la Renta just may be our dream designer. That designer whose store we would go to if we had a Pretty Woman moment. And his pre-fall 2008 collection presented Monday night in a Park Avenue church really illustrates why. The shapes and looks are simultaniously aspirational, wearable, and artistically pleasing. While there were a few misses – awkwardly shaped wool knit yetti skirts with large leaf patterns – it is amazing how within a 63 look collection de la Renta manages to really work several different themes to winning success in each. The florals, the tweeds, the circle skirts and the slimmer silhouettes – they’re all beautiful. What do we take away from this for fall?
