Not content with forcing people to make it work on Project Runway, Tim Gunn is getting his own fashion competition show called...Under the Gunn. Variety reports that it premieres in January on Lifetime and will include mentors from Project Runway – like Mondo! – and judges like designer Rachel Roy.
Taping of the next season of Project Runway has only just begun in New York City, but already two designers have made unscheduled departures from the show. One designer simply packed her things and stole away in the dead of night. "She just ran off in the middle of the night," said a source of the contestant, who had…
Tim Gunn opened up about his personal life on the new show he's co-hosting, The Revolution. He says that he's celibate — and happy.

Christian Siriano's boyfriend, the musician Brad Walsh, wrote a long and impassioned blog post about what he perceives to be the fashion establishment's bias against Siriano's work because he came to prominence on a reality show. Noting that many writers still place Siriano's collections in the context of Project…
Apparently, you can make a spinoff of Project Runway and when you do, you end up with something called Project Accessory.
Do you still care about Project Runway? I was a fan for years — YEARS — and yet I could not bring myself to commit to the new season, which started last month. However. I could be convinced to tune in for Project Runway All Stars, now that the competitors have been announced. At least 3 of these people are highly…
Well, this is strange: Heidi Klum has been dumped as the host of Project Runway's all-star season. But she's supposedly staying on as the host of regular Project Runway. The production company and Klum couldn't agree on a salary for the all-star gig, so Harvey Weinstein went out and got himself a new supermodel host. A …
Ice-T and Coco are planning to procreate. Ice already has three kids from previous relationships, but Coco wants a baby. Ice has allegedly promised that if their show, Ice Loves Coco, gets picked up for a second season, they'll try to get pregnant. Apparently Coco reminded Ice that if she gets knocked up, her butt will …
There are many glad tidings of Heidi Klum this morning. First: the supermodel-slash-AOL-blogger shot a new Got Milk? ad. [Us]
And Klum is said to be posing nude for sexy new promo shots for this season of Project Runway, since Lifetime is The Sexy Channel For Women and all. [THR]
Klum's line for New Balance is…
Lady Gaga's stylist Nicola Formichetti will be working with Gilt Groupe on a line of Gaga-inspired clothing for women and men alike. The "two-day flash sale" —scheduled for the same week as Gaga's release of "Born This Way" (surely a coincidence)— will feature "looks from cutting edge designers, inspired by Lady Gaga's most …
Speaking at the 92Y last night, Project Runway mentor and all-around great human being Tim Gunn said of Season 8, "I had never been part of a season of the show where I found the judges' decision-making to be more...incomprehensible."
From the Department of Things You'd Never Think Of But Somehow Make Sense: Your favorite silver-haired shit-talker is slated to host your grandma's favorite game show. All five of Mr. Gunn's shows will tape this Friday, November 12th, in New York.
Is anyone else ready to quit watching this damn show?
Last night, Tim Gunn visited the four remaining designers at their homes in Hawaii, Denver, Portland and Palm Springs, and checked up on the collections they'd been designing.
Last night, the final four were revealed. But first, we had to watch the final challenge, which was to design an outfit inspired by New York City.
This kids-reenact-Project-Runway is kind of reminiscent of a po-mo Our Gang — and we feel bad for the little boy who has to wear the Michael Kors bronzer — but we can't stop watching it.
Guys, I am out of the "office" today, but OMG, Ivy! WTF. Feel free to discuss her, the Heidi/Mondo showcase showdown and Gretchen's bike shorts in this open thread.
Well. That whole "cheater" teaser was such a manipulative misdirection. The producers are jerks! But last night's episode was one of the most stunning, ever.
OMG! Couture! And ready-to-wear inspired by couture! Let's jump right into the highlights and lowlights from the runway.
On a conference call just now, I mentioned the Essence/white fashion editor controversy
Even though there will be only four finalists, TEN designers from Project Runway showed collections yesterday. Who are the decoys? Who are the finalists? Who will win??? We don't know. But SPOILER-ISH ALERT: lots of pictures ahead!
