Season 4 of “Project Runway” will not air this summer, but will premiere in late 2007. Man, does that bum some of us fans of the show. |
The next “Project Runway” has been announced and promoted—but minimally. So it’s little more than a tease to our summertime TV schedules that “Project Runway 4” is still in the making rather than ready to watch!
According to Reality TV World, et.al., season four will premier in quarter four of 2007. Also different is how “Project Runway” will follow “Top Chef Miami” (rather than the other way around). And mixing up the format of the finale,
according to Realty TV World’s Steve Rogers and Christopher Rocchio, “ season four will see ‘only three finalists… face-off… at New York Fashion Week’ — a change from the third season format that featured four finalists presenting collections.”
The casting call and auditions began in late March/April, and Dean of the Sewing Machine, mentor Tim Gunn, discussed the upcoming talent: “We’ve moved about 125 people through to the next level,” quotes ET Online. “The talent is there and, as a group, the people have anywhere from six to 15 years of industry experience, and strong points of view.”
Though Gunn has taken the Chief Creative Officer post for Liz Claiborne Inc., and is leaving Parsons, he will still guide this new talent, men and women about whom Gunn says they “could cast three seasons with the talent [they] saw.” (Reality TV World’s Christopher Rocchio).
In his blog on Bravo.com, Daniel Vosovic (runner up in season 2) confirms the talent we will be seeing…as well as some of the, er, less than gifted: “I must admit that it’s always a bit amusing to see some of the characters who come our way … man, if I was only able to name names!”
With fellow judges Joann Pailey, Lee Twimble, and under the knowledgeable guidance of guru Gunn and assisted by Michael Rucker, Vosovic put 125 hopefuls through to the next round. He writes so candidly and creatively about the process, I was craving details about the actual applicants…which he was careful to avoid, dammit.
Guess we have only the occasional commercial teaser to hang our hopes on.
