'Project Runway' is leaving Lifetime for Bravo. But can it survive without Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum?

#Heidi Klum #TimGunn “#ProjectRunway”  initially launched on #Bravo (owned by NBC Universal) in December of 2004, not long after Weinstein started dating fashion designer Georgina Chapman. In the heady days of reality TV’s ascendance, it was a sleeper hit. The series has been nominated for Emmys every single year it’s been on the air, as well as a Peabody Award.
