Project Runway
News (Page 4)

On Tuesday's episode of Project Runway, Suede (speaking in the third person like an idiot as always) decides to keep his model, Tia, which means that everyone will continue with their models from last week.

The designers head back to the Atlas apartments and wait to find out what tonight's challenge will be. Tim Gunn shows up and takes the group to a double decker tour bus.

Everyone is confused but Tim quickly clears the air. 

Their challenge will be to design an outfit for a night out on the town inspired by New York nightlife. The bus will make four stops, where designers will get off and take pics for inspiration.

They hit several hot spots from Grand Central to Greenwich Village to Columbus Circle to, of course, Times Square.

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano is letting victory go to his head. He's gone on record saying he doesn't think any of the current contestants are all that fierce.

"They kind of annoy me this season!" Siriano told Us Weekly. "I actually met everyone, and they're all great, but I just really don't know about the clothes this year. Maybe I just need to see more episodes — then I'll really judge!"

Since winning Project Runway last year, Christian said a slew of celebrities have reached out to him.

"Anne Hathaway just wrote in InStyle that I was one of her favorite new designers, so I sent her a couple of pieces," he said. "Hopefully, she wears them!"

Siriano also listed Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley as actresses he'd love to see wearing his designs, adding: "There are just so many fabulous divas!"

Sounds like he's one of them to us.

Wesley Nault was eliminated from Project Runway on Wednesday - but he's still got something out of the show; or, to be exact, someone.

Nault is dating fellow Project Runway contestant Daniel Feld.

“We met on the show,” Nault told People. “And we tried to keep it very professional on the show because we were both there for our careers, and we didn’t expect this to come out of it. But I’m really happy.”

We wish Wesley Nault and Daniel Feld nothing but the best!

Nault can't believe others even care about his relationship, showing how little he knows about this celebrity gossip culture.

“I am shocked that they’re talking about this, I really am,” Nault said. “I’m shocked it’s such a big deal... "we’re still together – and it’s going really well."

Previously, we revealed a handful of the contestants set to compete on season five of Project Runway.

Here's your first look at a hansful of the 16 new designers who will be strutting their stuff as Project Runway returns for a fifth season on Bravo. It premieres this Wednesday night.

“I feel as though we set the bar higher every season,” said host 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.”

Not exactly a life-altering Project Runway spoiler here, but a Seattle blog has revealed that the barista at a local coffee shop will be a contestant on the next season of the show.

His name is Blayne and, well, he looks just like a Project Runway hopeful, doesn't he?

The fifth season of Project Runway will debut on July 16. For its final edition on Bravo, the reality sensation will begin an hour earlier than usual, at 9 p.m.

No reason has been given for the time slot change, as the series will now air opposite summer's top-rated reality show, So You Think You Can Dance.

Thank goodness for DVR!

Despite the fact that a Survivor all-stars edition didn't fare too well, producers of Project Runway are rumored to be considering a similar plan.

Those behind the fashionable hit are looking at a truncated season will feature the return of season one winner Jay McCarroll, season two winner Santino Rice, runner-ups Daniel Vosovic, Chloe Dao, Andrae Gonzalo and Nick Verreos.

"It most likely won't be a full season, more like a Christmas or Thanksgiving special," a show insider told OK!. "And since a lot of contestants were hesitant to return to the show, producers have upped the ante by offering that the individual challenges will feature fabulous cash prizes."

What do you think of the idea of a Project Runway: All Stars edition?

Iman, the host of Project Runway Canada (did you even know there was a Project Runway Canada?) has challenged the American version of this popular reality show; specifically, it's gorgeous host, Heidi Klum.

"Definitely Heidi and I come from two different places. I'm not belittling Heidi Klum, but I have been in fashion much more than she has. Not to toot my own horn, but I have been one of the best runway girls," Iman said.

"I know clothes, and I know about working hand in hand with designers â€" I mean, I've worked with Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, John Galliano. Yves St. Laurent â€" he created a whole collection for me. Tom Ford, Valentino. Versace. Jean Paul Gaultier. Thierry Mugler... I could go on and on."

Should Iman go on and on? Do you think she'd make a better Project Runway host than Heidi Klum?

No sir, the newest Project Runway champion and Arizona Sen. John McCain don't see eye to eye on this critical issue. Or probably anything else.

Christian Siriano apparently dissed The Hills stars and its stars / budding fashion designers, Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port (Heidi Montag also has a clothing line), at the TAO Beach Season Two Grand Opening in Las Vegas on April 12.

Apparently their fashion lines aren't FIERCE enough for him!

Christian Siriano recently told Life & Style: "It's sad that if I didn't win Project Runway, I probably wouldn't have the sponsors I have now. I would have never been able to do what they have done because they all have disposable income, and yet their work still isn't that great! I mean, it's fun and flirty and young, but they're not innovators. None of them will ever be an innovative designer. Buyers and editors are looking for longevity, and hopefully they will see that in me."

Well, maybe that's true. But did he watch last night's new episode of The Hills? There was some crazy drama at the fashion show for Lauren and Whitney!
