Lifetime has announced July 24 as the start date for the new season of Project Runway. And Michael Kors is officially just a dim memory.
Zac Posen, Nina Garcia, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn are back, but as I predicted more than a year ago — and again about a year ago — the loss of the show’s bitchiest critic has cooled my enthusiasm. Indeed, the series usually has two editions per calendar year, but the spring collection was replaced by Under the Gunn, a kind of Project Runway Lite thrown together when Klum wasn’t available to host.
The good news is, one of the new season’s contestants is gay Dallas designer Emmanuel Tobias, 29 (far right), and two others are Texas natives. We like our Texans on the show. No one does big hair better.
