Project Runway’s Nina Garcia Out of One Job

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Cable, Gossip, News, Rumors

Just last week, we reported that Project Runway was making a big move from its old home at Bravo to Lifetime.  This week, we’re learning that one of the show’s judges may be out of a job.  At least the one she does off-camera.

Women’s Wear Daily has reported that Nina Garcia, “fashion director at Elle”, is no longer working for the magazine her name’s been associated with.  This move comes not-so-coincidentally after a new creative director was brought on board.

What this currently means for Garcia’s future with the hit reality show is unknown.  Neither she or Michael Kors have yet committed to the series’ next installment.

Be looking for Project Runway‘s fifth season to hit the catwalk this November summer.

Project Runway Meets Ugly Betty

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC, Gossip

It seems Christian Siriano‘s 15 minutes are nowhere close to being up.

In the past few weeks, the Project Runway winner has had a date with Posh Spice, been mocked on Saturday Night Live and created a dress for singer Kimberley Locke to wear on American Idol.  Now Siriano will be moving on to the next phase of his career: acting.

Come May sweeps, the designer will be appearing on the second best show suited for him.  He and Elle fashion director Nina Garcia will be stopping by the offices of Mode on Ugly Betty.  Coincidentally, Siriano’s idol (Victoria Beckham) has also guested on the series.

No word yet as to what role Christian’s role on the comedy will be, but I’m hoping that it will somehow involve him brushing Wilhelmina off.  Better yet - maybe he should compete with Marc to be Amanda’s bestest friend.  Ooh….the possibilities!

Project Runway Season 4 Reunion: Christian Named Fan Favorite

Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo, Editorial

Apparently it pays to remind people over and over that ‘you’re fierce and kind of a big deal’. That strategy netted Project Runway:Season 4 contestant Christian Siriano a cool $10,000. Siriano was voted this season’s “Fan Favorite” by a landslide. The results were unveiled during tonight’s Project Runway: Season 4 reunion show.

This season of the show featured some incredibly talented and professional designers. While it didn’t have the same sexy mix of volatile characters (see Wendy Pepper in season 1 or Santino Rice in season 2), the clothes themselves were fascinating as was watching the process that these talented designers used to come up with them. Not surprisingly, some of the designers have become role models for young children and even favorites of celebrities. Kit talked about how young girls are emailing her scans of their designs to ask for advice. She says she loves being a positive influence. Lovable kook Elisa also said she loves the message she seems to be sending young girls that it is okay to be different. Sweet P, who was eliminated in the last episode, said she’s heard from celebrities like Jack Black and Catherine Keener that she was their favorite on the show.

‘Project Runway’ Finale: Posh Sees Clear Winner

Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, Bravo

Project Runway: Season 4 fanatics will have to wait a few more weeks to find out which designer won the big prize. But people who saw the remaining contestants’ final runway shows on the last day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City say it should be well worth the wait.

The only spoiler provided in the Bryant Park tents Friday was who will serve as the season finale guest judge: Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham.

The 1000 or so fashionistas in the crowd are none the wiser on who the finalists actually are.  Since there are still two more episodes before the two-part season finale, all five remaining designers sent their collections down the runway. Two served as decoys to throw off the crowd. When the finale airs you’ll only see the three finalists’ collections.

Guest judge Victoria Beckham, a style icon known for making bold choices and setting major trends (i.e. the asymmetrical bob), said she saw a clear winner in the pack. Of the designer Beckham considers the best she says, “everything I saw I would wear myself”.

So what were the collections like? Insiders say the designers expanded on what they were already known for during Project Runway: Season 4.
