    ​The network that brings you Project Runway is shooting a pilot for a a whole other, similar show with various designers competing for the approval of several judges.

    Project Runway: Gretchen Crashes the Lincoln Center Finale, and Jessica Simpson for the Win?

    Araceli Cruz​Tim Gunn must have needed the extra-strength dosage after Thursday morning's Project Runway Season 8 finale show.

    Project Runway: We've Got Their Number

    ​Last night's Project Runway's eighth season premiere encompassed a seemingly rebellious enthusiasm in the constrictive fashion world: more is...well, not better, if the glacial stride of these 90 minutes were any indication, but somehow worth having.

    Project Runway: Draw, Baby, Draw

    ​Finally, there is some rest for the wicked on Project Runway.
