Bravo -- the network responsible for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy -- is hard at work on a fashion-themed reality show called Project Runway, hosted by Heidi Klum. Twelve up-and-coming designers will complete weekly design challenges, with one contestant voted off each week until only three are left. Those three will debut their collections at New York's Fashion Week next February and the winner's designs will be photographed for Elle Magazine (along with other perks, such as the chance to manufacture for a retail showcase).

The open casting sessions were at the end of June (sorry!,67); applicants had to bring in a portfolio (with at least five looks), photographs, and samples (at least two items of men or women's apparel; no accessories). What were the judges looking for?
"'We're looking for a personality,' Cortazar said. 'But we're really looking for talent, all kinds of talent from all kinds of people.' Lasker added that many designers may have lost points because of unfocused collections. 'What it comes down to is we need someone who can come up with about 30 looks for the final collection,' said Lasker. 'It might be a good collection, but can you take it to the runways? Believe me, we've seen the good, the bad and the ugly.'
No word on exactly when the show will air, but look for it on Bravo this fall.
