Season 6 episode 5 “Fashion Headliners”

Photos: Lifetime

This was Project Runway‘s first season on the Lifetime Network, and the only season ever filmed not in New York (for some reason, production moved to LA). Away from the Garment District, there was apparently a dearth of actual fabric–so the designers were left to run rampant in the LA Times building, gathering newspaper with which to make a garment. I mean, it was the recession, I guess.
