Project Runway Contestants Revealed

The show is back (this time on Lifetime) and after much ado, the names of the contestants for this season have been revealed. Not surprising, they are from all over the world--and, of course, most live New York City.

Nicolas Putvinksi, Gordana Gehlhausen and Irina Shabeyeva are from Russia, Bosnia and the Republic of Georgia, respectively. Louise Black claims that she first thing she ever sewed was her wedding dress; when asked who his favorite designer is, Malvin Vien insists "me."

This season, set to air August 20th, looks to be more drama-filled than past ones. Maybe that's what LA does to fashion. "Look out for the girls," Klum said on Wednesday. "The girls are very strong on season six. There's a lot of crying, there's fighting going on, there's a lot of drama going on — but especially with the girls."

For a run down of the contestants and their hometowns, see below:

Shirin Askari, 25, of Garland, Texas.

Louise Black, 32, of Dallas.

Ra'Mon-Lawrence Coleman, 31, of Milwaukee.

Project What? Bravo Ups the Fashion Ante

So, after a long and heated legal battle, Bravo lost its highly rated reality design show this year to Lifetime. But while you may think the execs at the NBC subsidiary station would be boo-hooing harder than a girl dumped on prom night, Bravo has picked up the pieces before they even came crashing down. This season, they plan to debut not one, not two, but three shows that feature fashion. How's that for not crying over spilled milk?

First up, there's Launch My Line which basically takes actors, musicians, stylists, etc. and gives them the opportunity to compete for a fashion line. Hopefully, the show will follow in PR's footsteps and focus on design. There's also Double Exposure where former couple Markus Klinko and Indrani work together as they photograph fashion and spat with one another. And, finally, there's Kell on Earth, that follows reality bitch Kelly Cutrone of People's Revolution (and of The Hills fame) as she juggles single mommyhood and well, cursing out her staff.

While all these shows sound entertaining, I still think Bravo could use some Tim Gunn. *Tear* Oh Tim, as you say in your Tide commercials about the faded clothes, a fashion TV show without your input is "just sad."
