May 10, 2008 (FPRC) -- Project Runway is a Peabody Award-winning American reality television series on the Bravo network which focuses on fashion design. The contestants compete with each other to create the best clothes and are usually restricted in time, materials, and theme. Their designs are judged and one or more designers are eliminated each week. On April 7, 2008, the show's producers, Weinstein Company, announced a five year deal that would relocate the show to Lifetime Television. In response, NBC Universal has filed a lawsuit against the Weinstein Company, for violating its contract rights.
Casting auditions for Season 4 of Project Runway began in April 2007 and production took place in June and July 2007. The fourth season premiered on November 14, 2007, with Heidi Klum returning as host and Tim Gunn returning as design mentor. Earlier in the year Gunn was named Chief Creative Officer for Liz Claiborne Inc.
Cast members for Season 4 were revealed during episodes of Tim Gunn's Guide to Style.
This was the first season a designer was compelled to quit the competition for medical reasons. Jack Mackenroth left in Episode 5 and was replaced by Chris March, who had been the most recently eliminated designer.
This was also the first season in which four designers were chosen to prepare collections for Fashion Week, but only three will proceed on in the competition to show their collections at Fashion Week. Christian Siriano, who had won the last challenge, was assured of presenting his designs at Fashion Week. Jillian, the runner up in the last challenge, was also guaranteed a spot in Fashion Week. In a new finale twist, Rami and Chris were in a deadlock and had to show the three best pieces from their collections to the judges. With these three initial looks, one winner would be chosen to participate in Fashion Week. Rami was selected for the third slot at Bryant Park, and Chris March was eliminated.
Kathleen "Sweet P." Vaughn, the last designer eliminated before the finale, produced a decoy collection for Fashion Week, along with Chris March, the designer eliminated in the first part of the finale. Siriano won $10,000 as the Project Runway Season 4 Fan Favorite. Season 3 Fan Favorite winner, Michael Knight, brought out the check to Christian during the Reunion episode.
In the final days of New York Fashion Week in Bryant Park, New York, Christian Siriano beat out fellow contestants Jillian Lewis and Rami Kashou to become the fourth and youngest winner of Project Runway. Winning alongside Siriano was his model, Lisa Solé, who won the coveted ELLE fashion editorial featuring his winning designs at Fashion Week, over fellow models Sam Ruggiero (for Rami Kashou) and Lauren Browne (for Jillian Lewis). This was also the first season of the show wherein the final three models did not wear the finale pieces of their respective designers.
