Even though Project Runway’s Los Angeles-filmed season six episodes haven’t aired (on Lifetime) yet, they are already filming season seven, in New York City!
Twitter was buzzing yesterday with sightings of the new cast, Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum filming at various locations including Central Park. We also got confirmation from several tipsters that they will return to Parsons for season seven too.
New York Magazine reports, “contestants are settling down in their new digs at the Atlas(66 W. 38th Street, at Sixth Avenue; previous contestants also lived here last summer). Our spy reports that yesterday a sign was posted by the elevators informing residents that the rooftop would be closed between noon and 9 p.m. — for the customary “arrival party with Tim and Heidi” scene, perhaps?? Later, around 5:30 p.m., our spy saw headsetted crew members enter the building with luggage that had tags indicating it had just arrived from JFK: “I asked them if someone was moving in, and one of them, trying to be discreet about it, said ‘sort of.'” When directly asked, however, a crew member then confirmed that this was indeed all for Project Runway, and that contestants would be living in the building for the next five weeks.”
Its nice to have Project Runway back in NYC, especially after Woody Allen blasted the city for being too expensive to film in, but I’m still looking forward to seeing the L.A. season. “We have a challenge [in season six], the outcome of which will have the blogs going crazy!” Gunn said. “I’m surprised I didn’t need CPR when it all came down the runway, because I’m still in such a state of shock about it.” Can’t wait!
