Heidi Klum generously answered all sorts of questions during a conference call this morning. Here are some highlights:
Project Runway Season 8 is still in production. Today is an elimination day!
The season 8 finale (at Lincoln Center) will be on September 9th. I tried to get her to spill on the number of finalists but she didn't say. She hinted that there would be decoys.
Let's pause here and think about how quickly the finalists will have to create their collections. Scary.
There will be an "alternative materials" challenge and Betsey Johnson will be the judge. Trivia: How many times has she served as a judge and what were the challenges?
This was already hinted at, but Heidi confirmed again that in the premiere episode, one designer will be eliminated before he or she even has the chance to unpack.
This sounds like a great idea: Philip Treacy will be the guest judge in a challenge to design a garment inspired by one of his hat designs.
There will be a challenge to design something for Heidi.
Not exactly news, but Models of the Runway has not been renewed. Heidi says it was a network decision.
