Nina Garcia Movies
Best known for her long-running tenure as the fashion director at Elle fashion magazine (a publication also known for Garcia's regular column, "Fashionina"), Colombian-born Nina Garcia deftly parlayed her knowledge and influence from that post into a successful secondary career as a reality television star. She did so as one of the judges (opposite supermodel Heidi Klum and fashion mogul Michael Kors) on the Bravo cable channel's program Project Runway. Garcia signed on with the program from its inception and remained with it for multiple seasons. Prior to working at Elle, Garcia worked in the PR departments of fashion labels Marc Jacobs and Perry Ellis, then held positions as market editor and assistant stylist at Mirabella magazine before ascending to her post at Elle. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
The stakes are stiletto high for another batch of daring designers aspiring to, as style mentor Tim Gunn requests, "make it work" in Season 4 of the popular reality-competition series hosted by supermodel Heidi Klum. Standout contestants include Chris March, a sensitive costume designer with a memorable laugh; Christian Siriano, outlandish in both attitude and fashion sense; and Kathleen "Sweet P" Vaughn, whose subdued designs belie her tattooed exterior. Sarah Jessica Parker, Donna Karan, Roberto Cavalli, and Victoria Beckham are among the guest judges joining series regulars Klum, Michael Kors, and Nina Garcia to critique and eliminate the clothiers. Tiki Barber appears in an episode that finds the designers crafting a look for the former NFL player to wear on air. Other memorable challenges include using candy to make a garment, refitting an outfit for women who have lost weight, and updating outdated sportswear. ~ Mario DiMaio, Rovi
