With New York's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week '09 in full swing, we find ourselves wondering about the precarious fate of our favorite skill-based, fashion reality show (although in fairness, the competition isn't that severe. Stylista, anyone? That'd be a no.)
"What is really sad about it is that ...all the people that are in the audience don't know the designers," [Heidi Klum] tells Access Hollywood. "You know, normally you have people there that are like clapping, because they have their fans coming out, you know, the fans for these designers. They're like, 'Yeah!' And they're like rooting for this one or that one and this time no one knows anyone, so the feeling is going to be, unfortunately, a little bit different — so it's a little sad." (via Yahoo News)
How much would it suck to be a season 6 contestant? You still have to knock yourself out in all the challenges, and bust your ass just as hard, but at the end of the day, your on air exposure could pontentially be zero. Luckily, Project Runway mentor (and Remote Island boyfriend) Tim Gunn disagrees...
Echoing his recent comments to TVGuide.com about the future of Runway, Gunn adds that he doesn't know when or where Season 6 will air, but is "confident" it will make it to TV screens. (via Yahoo News)
Don't worry Tim Gunn! We will not lose faith! But, until that day comes, you can peep the collections here.
