Changes are a-brewing for future Project Runway shows. New York Magazine reported yesterday that Marie Claire will sponsor the next season of Project Runway. Auf wiedersehen, Elle. The show will move to Lifetime TV and Los Angeles. I'm going to miss it being on Bravo as I've fallen in love with many of the Bravo reality series shows. Heavy sigh ...


It really comes as no surprise since we knew former Elle editor Nina Garcia would stay on as a judge, and she started her new gig as fashion director of Marie Claire a few weeks ago. So the show now has a new network, a new city, and a new sponsor. OK! Magazine caught up with Nina at a Marie Claire party to celebrate her joining the magazine, and the opinionated fashionista had nothing but wonderful things to say about her new gig. "I’m very excited about Marie Claire," she says. "It’s a magazine that is deeply passionate about women’s issues. It offers practical, yet beautiful fashion. That ties very much into my philosophy, my books. It’s the perfect match."


The two-part finale for the current season of Project Runway airs Oct. 8 and 15 on Bravo.

For those following the saga of Nina Garcia's role with Elle magazine and Project Runway, the verdict is still out.

The Colombian-born fashionista got her start in the 1990s working in the PR department at Perry Ellis. She became the fashion director for Elle in 2000. Sources reported last Friday that she was let go as fashion director for the magazine. As such, she may lose her spot as a guest judge on the famed Project Runway show.

This morning, it was reported Nina had been offered a "small consulting role" with Elle, which may allow her then to remain as a guest judge for at least one more season on Project Runway. Should Nina decide against accepting Elle's offer, sources say it would be difficult to allow her to guest judge Project Runway due to the magazine's relationship with the show.
