Legal battle over “Project Runway” hurts contestants

Season 6 of Project Runway has already wrapped up, but fans are yet to see an episode due to the show’s legal problems. The season’s three finalists recently showed their collections at New York’s Fashion Week, but producers had them show anonymously. The popular series finds itself without a network or a premier date for its latest season, so the finale was missing its usually celebratory air. Producers kept everything secret so as not to spoil the show’s ending for viewers. 

“I’m a little bit sad for our designers, that they don’t get that recognition today,” said host Heidi Klum. The overall mood of the runway show was a downer, according to The New York Times. Reporters were not allowed backstage, and there were obviously no audience favorites, as the finalists remain unknown. Said past winner Christian Siriano, “For the contestants, it’s kind of horrible.” As Heidi Klum has repeatedly told us, in fashion, one week you’re in and the next you’re out. Will fans still be interested by the time the show’s legal troubles are sorted out, or will Heidi & co. be old news by then?
