Nina Garcia and Elle Update.

Now you have to scratch what I said about Nina Garcia before. Turns out she is actually given the title of being Editor at Large, instead. She hasn't made an official decision yet, but Project Runway has and renewed her contract for another season at least. Harvey Weinstein has said he is pretty confident she is going to be coming back on the show.

In other Elle news, looks like there is a new reality show in process called Perfect Fit, where contestants compete for a spot to be a fashion assistant at Elle Magazine. It's creative directors are Tyra Banks and Joe Zee, Elle's creative director. I actually found out about this show and was thinking about joining in, until I read through the questionnaire they made you fill out. They had questions like, "What designer brand would you not be caught dead wearing?" or "Which celebrity would you make over and why?" and also, "How do you act like when your drunk?" I just decided to veto the whole thing when I figured out that it didn't really matter how much knowledge you even knew about the fashion industry to even be a part of it. Plus reality shows are just there for the drama, not necessarily to help you out much in the end. The show probably would probably end up making me look like some adjective that I'm not because the editors of the show are just that great with putting all the video footage together.

But on the other hand, I can't help but be anxious to see how the show ends up turning out. I'm going to be tuned in.

Elle says "peace out" to Nina Garcia.

What? This doesn't make sense. Even though Elle is one of the largest fashion publications, Nina definitely boosted their sales from being on "Project Runway."

"Elle is said to have parted company with its fashion director and “Project Runway” star and author Nina Garcia sources said late Friday," says WWD. The word has been circling around for months that Nina was going to be leaving after Joe Zee showed up as the creative director in spring 2007, when she was on maternity leave.

According to New York Magazine, The Cut, Nina's office was completely boxed and packed up waiting int he hallways to be shipped to her home in the Upper Eastside. "Nina's demonstrative speaking behind closed doors (made visible by a glass partition) also prompts one to believe that she was not leaving of her own accord."

Now where is Nina going to go?
