There has been major legal drama with Project Runway being moved by the Weinstein company from Bravo to Lifetime without having the “right of first refusal”. The sixth season has been filmed, but we have no idea when it might actually air with dates getting pushed farther and farther back. But hey, the show must go on right? The finale was filmed at NY Fashion Week as usual… almost. The designers weren’t revealed and didn’t get to introduce their collections.

Host Heidi Klum told the audience that she was “a little bit sad” the finalists couldn’t have their moment in the spotlight after working so hard to get there. “This year is gonna be a little bit different for us, for all of you, for our designers backstage. … We’re all in a bit of a limbo and we hope that everything gets sorted out very soon,” Klum said.

The overall mood of the three collections was darkly glamorous, though one designer sent out brighter looks, including a turquoise gown and a gold cocktail dress, echoing the metallic trend seen throughout the week.

International Herald Tribune editor Suzy Menkes was a guest judge for the finale. The new season was filmed in Los Angeles instead of New York, home of the previous five seasons.

I can’t wait for the new season and I wish they would hurry up and settle the legal battles already. I need my PR fix!
