Project Runway when it switches networks from Bravo to Lifetime is moving Season 6 to Los Angeles. This is a dumb move. Like America's Next Top Model the move is to accommodate Heidi Klum's schedule. Unlike Tyra, Heidi at least admits it.
ANTM suffered from it's move from NYC to LA (as I wrote about it in this post). LA has a fashion scene but it's in no way comparable to NYC.
The LA fashion scene is definitely edgier but many would sum it up as denim friendly fashions. Come visit the Tru Drama store and you'll see what I mean. Even LA spawned Juicy Couture has moved to New York. LA lacks the gravitas of being a fashion capitol. My biggest fear is that we're going to see a lot of printed t-shirts with bling all over it (sorry Mr. Audigier!!!).
The forthcoming Season 5 with Bravo will still be in NYC, oddly (or smartly) Season 7 with Lifetime will be back in NYC. Let's hope Heidi realizes that LA can't replace NYC. There is only one fashion capital in America and that's NYC.
On a side note, I've been watching Heidi's Germany's Next Topmodel season 3. I don't understand a word of it but it's easily eclipses any of the other Next Top Model franchises. It's that good... more about that in a future post.
