Nina Garcia, fashion director at Elle until recently and “Project Runway” judge, is apparently about to land a major gig at Marie Claire. A move like this would no-doubt ensure Garcia’s presence on “Project Runway” if Marie Claire takes over when Elle’s contract runs out. While no announcements have been made as to whether Marie Claire will definitely take on “Project Runway” or if Garcia will move to Marie Claire; it has become evident that Marie Claire’s current fashion director Tracy Taylor will be leaving the magazine. It looks like all the pieces are falling into place for a deal with Hearst and “Project Runway”. If everything goes smoothly, the next season of “Project Runway” will air on Hearst’s jointly-owned Lifetime network, Hearst’s Marie Claire will take over the contract with Project Runway, and Nina Garcia will take over as fashion director at Marie Claire and get to keep her job as judge on “Project Runway.” Read all about it Folio (May 8, 2008), NYP (May 9, 2008), and Fashion Week Daily (May 8, 2008)

After months of clashes between fashion director Nina Garcia and creative director Joe Zee, Garcia was apparently let go. However, she hasn’t officially severed all ties with Elle. The “Project Runway” star is still planning to appear as Elle’s editor-at-large during the fifth season of the show. For right now, this arrangement would be beneficial to both Garcia and Elle magazine, since Garcia is much responsible for the expansion of Elle as a brand. Media Bistro (April 15, 2008)
