Season 6 Project Runway Designers Revealed

From New York Daily News:

The long-delayed new season of “Project Runway” is set to debut next month with 16 new contestants.

Fashion guru Tim Gunn introduced the style savvy designers to People magazine as the show prepares for launch on Lifetime.

The hit reality program has been in limbo since early 2008, when it tried to move from Bravo to Lifetime. The dispute was finally settled in April.

“Runway’s” new locale is celeb-friendly, with Christina Aguilera and Lindsay Lohan making cameos during challenges, according to the Associated Press.

Not everything has changed though - Heidi Klum resumes her role as host, flanked by mentor Gunn and judges Nina Garcia and Michael Kors.

You can see all of the season 6 contestants on Lifetime’s site here, and read Tim Gunn’s dish on them here. Most PR fans were worried about the transition to Lifetime, and perhaps my expectations have been effectively lowered by The Fashion Show, but I think Lifetime might be smart enough not to mess with the proven success of the Project Runway formula.
