Why Did Heidi Klum Leave ‘Project Runway'?
For the first time in eight years, Heidi Klum is back as a judge on Project Runway for Season 21. The supermodel previously left the show after 16 seasons, but now she's back where she belongs. This season, she'll be judging alongside Nina Garcia and Law Roach, with Christian Siriano returning as mentor to the contestants (he joined the show in Season 17 after Tim Gunn left with Klum). Ahead of the premiere on Thursday, July 31, scroll down for a refresher on Klum's exit and why she was ready to return. Why did Heidi Klum leave Project Runway? Klum and Gunn decided to leave Project Runway to create their own show, Making the Cut, which ended up airing for three seasons from 2020 to 2022. 'Our imagination was bigger than what we were allowed to do,' the supermodel said in 2020, per The Hollywood Reporter. 'Everything kind of fell apart.' Klum said she asked Gunn, 'Do you want to jump ship with me?' and described the time as 'scary,' adding, 'We shopped it around and thought Amazon was the best place, not only for the show, but also for the designers.' Klum also said that she wanted to start changing up the format at Project Runway, but wasn't given the opportunity to do so. 'We couldn't break out of it because there was a fear,' she admitted. 'Not among us, we're the ones who were thinking creatively and innovatively about what we wanted to do.' Gunn expanded on the decision in an interview with Variety. '[We] saw the opportunity of Amazon as a brand new threshold because we were in lockstep with [Project Runway],' he explained. We were stuck with the same vocabulary. We were stuck with the same sequence of events within the show.' They left on good terms, though. And also, full transparency about Making the Cut and where we are today, it wouldn't have happened without Project Runway,' Gunn confirmed. 'So for Heidi and me, there's a lot of love and respect we'll always have.' Why isn't Tim Gunn returning to Project Runway? Gunn will not be by Klum's side when she returns to the show. In February, he told People that he and Klum had been discussing returning to the show last year. 'Heidi sent me a text saying, 'There's talk about bringing Project Runway back with us, with you and me, and would you do it?' And I said, 'Would I do it? Of course, there's not a moment of hesitation in me,'' Gunn shared. However, 'several months later,' when Klum asked him if he was happy with the contract he received, he told her, 'I haven't even seen a contract.' At that point, his agent contact the show's executive producers and was allegedly told, 'We don't want him.' He clarified, 'So I wasn't asked back. However, several weeks after that conversation, they went back to [my agent] and said, 'Well, we've thought about it, and we'd be willing to offer Tim a small cameo in one episode.'' Amazon For that offer, he wasn't willing to return. 'What do I do? Wave from a bus?' he wondered. 'As the designers are going into Mood? Heidi comes to see me at the retirement home and we play croquet? So no thank you. And as Heidi would say, 'You're either in, or you're out,' and I'm out. So I wasn't asked to join.' Although Gunn said he was 'initially devastated and kind of humiliated,' he's come to terms with the decision Are Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn friends? Yes, the former colleagues are still friends today. Gunn said Klum has been nothing but supportive amid her return to the show without him. 'She was really upset and she kept saying, 'I'm fighting for you, I'm fighting for you,'' he shared. 'Which is lovely of her and nothing that I should expect. And I said, 'Heidi, just take good care of yourself. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.'' Ahead of the new season, Klum also told People, 'Of course I miss him, he has been my television husband, and it all started with him. We just became this odd couple that people enjoyed watching, and 17 years later, we did so many amazing episodes together. So for me, yes, of course I'm going to miss him.'

AFP via Getty Images Paris has always been a city of fashion and culture. Now, a handful of exhibitions in the City of Lights bridge these worlds together in wonderful ways. From the Louvre to the Palais Galliera, here are fashion exhibitions worth checking out if you're in Paris this summer to soak up inspiration. The collection is shown at the Rick Owens exhibition press preview as part of Paris Men's Fashion Week held at the Palais Galliera on June 25, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Dominque Maitre/WWD via Getty Images) WWD via Getty Images Rick Owens is known for his architectural fashion design, his dark, otherworldy aesthetic, and for trailblazing a style only he could master. Owens, an influential American fashion designer who first founded his fashion label in 1994 (anbd based in Paris since 2003), has not had a Paris retrospective until now. His 'grunge-meets-glamor' aesthetic certainly has a cult following. This exhibition, Temple of Love at the Palais Galliera, captures all aspects of his career, and is co-curated by Miren Arzalluz. a fashion historian and the director of the Palais Galliera, and Alexandre Samson, a fashion historian and head of the contemporary design department at the Palais Galliera. It runs until January 4, 2026. Even if you can't make it to Paris, there is a book commemorating the exhibition called Rick Owens: Temple of Love, which was recently released by Rizzoli. The book features highlights from the designer's 30 year career in fashion, as well as highlights from the Paris exhibition. PARIS, FRANCE - FEBRUARY 04: A dress by Yohji Yamamoto Collection Prêt-à-Porter Automne/Hiver 2015-2016 is displayed during the exhibition LOUVRE COUTURE at the Louvre Museum on February 04, 2025 in Paris, France.(Photo by) Getty Images The world-renowned Louvre Museum in Paris is home to the Louvre Couture exhibition, Art and Fashion: Statement Pieces, which runs until August 24. Curated by Olivier Gabet, over 60 pieces of couture are displayed throughout the museum alongside accessories throughout the museum's historic backdrop. In other words, there are dresses set up in the museum's lavish Second Empire Napoleon III Apartments, which are covered in extravagant drapes, vases and furniture. Expect to see couture from Chanel, Givenchy, Balenciaga and much more.

(Photo by George Rinhart/Corbis via Getty Images) Corbis via Getty Images Paul Poiret: Fashion is a Feast The Musée des Arts Décoratifs is a go-to for fashion exhibitions in Paris. Now, they are honoring the master 20th century couturier. Poiret (1879–1944) made history for liberating women from the corset. In turn, he also worked to redefine the silhouette of modern fashion. This exhibition, entitled 'Fashion is a Feast,' looks at how Poiret managed to shape the vision and aesthetic of the Belle Époque and beyond. The museum is showcasing over 500 items throughout the exhibition, from party costuems to accessories and photos. It shows how his travels to Marrakech inspired his garments, and how his trailblazing designs inspired Christian Dior. It's amazing to think how Poiret's own designs captured the spirit of the Roaring Twenties party girls. The exhibition, curated by Marie‐Sophie Carron de la Carrière, runs through January 11, 2026.
