Nina Garcia Out at Elle?
One day Nina Garcia was in, but now she's supposedly out.
Insiders are saying the Project Runway judge has parted ways with Elle magazine, where she has served as fashion director since 2000, Women's Wear Daily's website reported Friday.
Garcia was said to be in her Manhattan office on Friday morning but was noticeably absent from a dinner Elle cohosted Tuesday with fashion house Moschino to celebrate Simon Doonan's new book, Eccentric Glamour: Creating an Insanely More Fashionable You.
Neither Garcia nor anyone from Elle has yet commented on the possible shakeup.
The news comes just a few days after the Weinstein Company., which produces Project Runway, announced the Peabody Award-winning Bravo series would be moving to Lifetime, a surprise move that brought the wrath of NBC Universal's legal department down upon the Weinstein brothers' heads seemingly overnight.
In the breach-of-contract lawsuit it filed Monday, Bravo's parent company called the Weinsteins' five-year deal with Lifetime an "invalid agreement" and accused the producers of engaging in "sham negotiations."
Host Heidi Klum and the guy who makes it work, Tim Gunn, are already onboard with the network swap, which is set to occur after Project Runway's upcoming fifth season.
While Lifetime execs have professed hope that Garcia and fellow finicky fashionista Michael Kors, neither have whom have signed on for more seasons yet, will both accompany the show to its new home, it's unclear whether Garcia's reported break with Elle would affect future deals.
The Colombian-born style maven took maternity last spring while awaiting the birth of her first child with hubby David Conrod and started penning a new column, "Fashionina," for the glossy monthly upon her return.
Garcia is author of The Little Black Book of Style, which hit shelves in September. She is also slated to appear on Ugly Betty next month along with the fiercest Runway winner to date, Christian Siriano.
