Project Runway Season Seven Preview
Thank you Lifetime, for sending an advance copy of the season seven premiere.
We are back in New York, back at The Atlas and back at Parsons. Everything feels like the show that we love. We have the rooftop champagne toast, Heidi is pregnant, Tim is in a suit and all is right with the world.
The designers are all very talented but of course we don't have enough time to get to know them in the first episode. The challenge is to show us "who you are as a designer" of course, with a variety of results. We have everything from "couture evening wear" to "marketable" to "no hanger appeal" to the quirky aesthetic of Ping Wu. These designers are very talented as promised.
I have already chosen my favorites.
Counting down the last week until the premiere!
We Just Watched the Season Six Premiere Episode
Laura K: Of course the ending is not revealed in the screener episode but there is enough to reassure fans that this is the Project Runway that we know and love.
Seriously, I would never guess that there is a new production team, the feel is exactly the same. The music is there, the clock on the wall, the workroom and the sewing room are the same - although the dressmaker forms look brand new. In fact, everything at FIDM site looks brand new.
We have the designer arrivals, checking into the apartments, and then everyone looks "oh so surprised" to discover the "note from Heidi" telling them to join her for champagne on the roof.
The challenge is wonderful and an easy way to see each designer's ability and "point of view." Michael Kors, Nina Garcia and Heidi Klum are all there in their judges chairs along with the "guest judge." The runway looks exactly the same and the models are all gorgeous.
I can't wait for EVERYONE to see this next week!
Scarlett: One of the first things I noticed was that the music sounds the same; even the designers showing up to their apartments felt familiar because of that detail. There are some warm, heart-felt moments and Tim even got a chance to comfort a designer that was having doubts. I think that they did an excellent job of introducing these designers prior to the premiere because I could identify them before they put up their names on the screen. And I honestly wished that I could have seen the judging but I will have to wait for that with the rest of you. The screener was such a tease and at the end I wanted more, More, MORE!
Project Runway Season Six Premiere This Summer!
At last we have confirmation of the Season Six premiere. According to this press release, Project Runway will air in the "Summer of 2009" on the newly-formed Weinstein Network.
TWN will launch programming in June 2009 with a marathon of Weinstein hit movies including Clerks II and Who's Your Caddy?
Aiming for an upscale viewership, TWN hopes to build momentum toward the Project Runway premiere "later in the summer."
According to a Weinstein press representative, "All legal matters have been resolved and we are moving forward with our plans to air Project Runway on the new network. Also, season 7 will be filmed in New York City this June."
(Casting information has been posted on Craig's List as well as on the network's new website.)
Asked to comment about Season Six, Tim Gunn responded, "I firmly believe that this cast is the most talented group ever. Season 6 will prove to be the best one ever."
Co-executive producer and host of the show, Heidi Klum claims that, "Harvey is a loyal friend and one of the most beloved men in Hollywood. I count on him to make the impossible possible."
Weinstein continues, "I am tired of piddling around with these other networks, I figure I can just start my own."
Bob Weinstein will head up the new venture. "My brother has always wanted to be a network honcho and we feel like the time is right," says Harvey of his more silent sibling. Also joining the team, Dr. Louis Aronne whom Harvey refers to as his "mentor and life-coach," as well as American Idol host and celebrity wrangler, Ryan Seacrest.
When quizzed about the choice of Seacrest for Vice-President of Reality Programming, Weinstein quipped, "Everything he touches turns to gold. Hell yes, I wanted Seacrest."
TWN will have a "strong reality show presence" with plans to begin filming a new competitive-reality series about dog grooming called "Project Puppy," and another as-yet-unnamed project about celebrity bloggers.
In related news, the Project Runway Season Five DVD is now available. Click here to order.
