The uncertainty looming over the future of Project Runway is saddening!

When will NBC Universal and the Weinstein Company come to an agreement so faitful viewers can be confident that we’ll be able to enjoy Season Six?!

The New York Times reported on the situation following the season’s finale at New York Fashion Week.

Although Season 6 won’t be broadcast for months, if ever, the producers filmed an awkward finale at Fashion Week in New York on Friday, in a tented room filled with barely hushed uncertainty about the show’s future.

“We are all in a bit of a limbo,” the show’s host, the model Heidi Klum, told the roughly 1,000 audience members, “and we hope that everything is sorted out very soon.”

On Tuesday,  Kimora Lee Simmons launched her 21st Century Collection at New York Fashion Week.

According to a statement released by her camp, the collection was “synonymous with a lifestyle of extravagance, confidence and femininity.”

You may also have noticed 1940s references juxtaposed with today’s classic rock.

Hence the dramatic pearls, ruffled shirts and sequin blazers, pairing with delicate dresses with large jewel studs and vintage, chained, tapered denim on the runway.

The Fall 2009 collection also features graphic tees with inspirational messages like, “timeless classic,” “confidence,” and “love your self.”

Somebody please tell me she used faux fur for this collection!

Rebecca Taylor Fall 2009 Runway Show

Rebecca Taylor’s Fall ’09 showing in a few words – feminine, pretty and fresh.

The pretty, girly pieces definitely caught my eye.

One trend to watch after this should be too-long belts which accessorized almost every look.

Très cool — in a messy kind of way, like the updos on the models.

And, of course, ruffles continue to be a trademark of women’s collections.

Looks like they’re here to stay–for a while at least.
