Former Project Runway contestant Santino Rice has been pretty busy since the show. He’s been dressing clients, designing cigarette packs for Camel, AND STARRING IN POST APOCALYPTIC GAY ZOMBIE FLICKS!!!!

That’s right kiddies, the fashion world is going gay-for-pay and Santino Rice is leading the way.

In a turn of events that can only happen in Los Angeles, the designer of one of the tackiest Project Runway collections in history is playing a homeless drifter in a movie filled with blood, boners and flesh raping zombies. According to Santino, he doesn’t have a sex scene in the film, but his bio on the films website which lists the designer as “bisexual” suggests otherwise.

Eitherway, Santino isn’t the only fashion type who makes an appearance. Madonna’s former lover/designer/antimodel Tony Ward also makes an appearance.

I’d be slightly tempted to see this if he just imitates Tim Gunn throughout the whole thing…

We’ve got photos from his guest spot in the gay film by director Bruce LaBruce and you can check out his bio on LAZombie.com.

Project Runway head host Tim Gunn told The Cut at Fashion Week that he thinks Ungaro is crazy for hiring Lindsay Lohan:

“It’s got to be a publicity stunt!” he said. “Or a crack-smoking board of directors?”

As far as her stint as a guest judge on Project Runway, Gunn was actually pleased:

“I was surprised and pleased by how extremely knowledgeable about fashion and articulate Lindsay Lohan was,” he said. “She’s very young and can be portrayed in ways that aren’t altogether flattering, and she was a true statesperson and really weighed in on the designers and what they were doing exceptionally well. And it was really a thrill to have her.”

Ungaro CEO Mounir Moufarrige tells Fashion Wire Daily he chose Lindsay in large part because of Tim Gunn’s vote of confidence.

“His comments that she had a great sense of fashion and knew what works and doesn’t work, were pretty significant to me … This was authentic, not the paparazzi press all talking about her car accidents, or the drug things,” added Moufarrige. “To be complimented by someone like Tim Gunn was very impressive.”

So apparently, Tim Gunn is the one to blame for Lindsay Lohan being hired by Ungaro…although he claims they’re all a bunch of crackheads. haha.

With Project Runway Season Six running full steam ahead, I can’t help but reminisce on previous seasons and previous contestants, Daniel Vosovic being one of my favorites. Besides last year’s publication of Vosovic’s Fashion Inside Out: Daniel V’s Guide to How Style Happens From Inspiration to Runway and Beyond, the Project Runway Season Two veteran has kept a pretty low profile. But don’t put Vosovic to bed just yet, because come February 2010, Vosovic is slated to release his very own, eight-piece capsule collection sold exclusively on DanielVosovic.net! And if you thought Vosovic’s militaristic twinge would be back in full effect, you’re dead wrong! Inspired by his recent relapse to gymnastics and athletics, Vosovic’s collection embodies the fitted and flexible aspects so common in sports attire. I absolutely love Vosovic’s use of sheer fabrics to give certain pieces a sultry vibe, as well as immaculate structure that he made his Project Runway claim-to-fame with! Look out fashion world, the boy is back in town!

Thursday night, Project Runway viewers tuned in before the premiere of the new season to see some of the most memorable contestants from past seasons battle it out for $100,000. Actress Nicole Kidman made a video appearance on the show that included the announcement that whoever wins will have their red-carpet dress worn to the premiere of her new movie “Nine.”

The designers were all quick to assume that Nicole Kidman herself would be the one wearing the dress, although it was not said who would walk the red carpet in it. Now, season two finalist and all-star champion Daniel Vosovic is making it clear that he wants Kidman in his black-and-white ensemble.

So, now the question is who exactly plans on wearing the dress? Truth be told, someone’s assistant could even be the one on the red carpet to sport it. While that would be a big blow to Vosovic, at this time, it still isn’t clear what the plans are. I guess we’ll all have to wait to see the photos from the premiere.

Project Runway and Victoria’s Secret model Heidi Klum spoke to the Huffigton Post about her pregnancy, weight loss, and what she’s wearing:

On losing pregnancy weight in time for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show:

“I’ve never really had any special girdle machines or anything like that,” she said. “For me, it’s, you know, really healthy foods, exercising, playing with the children, going to the park. Normal things.”

On having to lose that weight:

“I never really put a lot of pressure on myself, but for me personally, I feel like it is always better to get into shape immediately. I feel like if I drag it out too long, I’m not going to do it,” she said. “So for me it works to kind of get back into shape, afterwards, I feel great. I can put my normal clothes back on and it makes me happy, and it’s worked so far.”

On style:

“Don’t ask me what’s fashionable right now. I’m happy I can find something I can fit in,” she said with a laugh. “I try to go off the beaten track and find things that aren’t maternity lines … I try to find things that are a little more fun and not so basic, since I do a show about fashion.  Lately I’ve been buying a lot of things at flea markets,” she said. “I would buy big earrings, big necklaces, chunky things, big bracelets and stuff like that.”

It appears to me that Project Runway’s new home at Lifetime may be the best move possible for the show! After a severely disappointing fifth season on the Bravo network, the season six preview definitely looks entertaining! And if stolen fabric and emotional designers didn’t stir enough drama for you, Lifetime’s addition to Project Runway, Models of the Runway, looks like a cattier, more realistic version of America’s Next Top Model. 

The new season starts on August 20th at 10PM Eastern Standard Time on Lifetime. One month, folks!
