Living in a material world.

Although the finale of this season’s Project Runway has yet to broadcast, a second potential cheating scandal has at least one contestant seaming with anger. Laura Bennett, one of the four finalists, has charged that Jeffrey Sebelia outsourced the production of the collection he presented at Fashion Week, says a story in New York Magazine (http://nymag.com/news/intelligencer/21688/). Her accusation came after Laura heard that mentor Tim Gunn, who had recently stopped by Jeffrey’s Los Angeles studio to check on his progress, had commented that the designer "had a lot of work to do." Upon hearing that, being knowledgeable about Jeffrey’s skills throughout the competition and shortly thereafter seeing Jeffrey’s unusually finished, polished line at Bryant Park, Laura approached producers with her suspicion. After all, as the infamous Mr. Gunn himself said in an earlier episode this season, "Project Runway is nothing without its integrity and its seriousness of purpose."

"We took the accusation very seriously, and we did a very intense and thorough investigation," Tim was quoted as saying, giving no indication of what may have been discovered. Bravo has also remained buttoned up when questioned about the allegations. Fortunately, viewers will only need to wait on pins and needles until September 27 when it will be revealed who is in…and who is out. Auf wiedersehen.
