F: is for fashion thats about to become hot

For those who are fans of Project Runway good news has hit the air waves. The nasty legal battle that threatened it's future is settled. In case you were in the dark the newest season of Project Runway, was moved to the Lifetime cable network. Producers claimed an agreement had been broken with NBC Universal, which owns the Bravo cable channel where the show had originated. The Weinstein Company, which owns “Project Runway” has agreed to pay damages to NBC Universal. The following statement was released today by NBC UNIVERSAL: NBC Universal, The Weinstein Company and Lifetime have resolved their disputes. The Weinstein Company will pay NBCU for the right to move Project Runway to Lifetime. All of the parties are pleased with the outcome. Harvey Weinstein added, “I want to personally congratulate Jeff Zucker and NBCU on their success in the litigation and thank Jeff for resolving this in a professional manner. We look forward to working together on our ongoing projects. The sad part is the new season of Project Runway, is moving to LA. The good news is it will begin airing on May 7 at 10 p.m.

Now the reason I bring this up is the designer I was planning on writing about is in the list of contestants. Keith Lissner, is hot, 31 and resides in New York. Studying in London after his graduation he began designing for Perry Ellis and Ralph Lauren. Keith has since founded his eponymous line Keith Lissner, of women’s demi-couture eveningwear. Likewise, he recently launched a line of gently priced cocktail dresses called Keith By Keith Lissner, inspired by his friends in New York and their jam packed social calendars. Lissner’s collection has captured the attention of the city’s young social scene, and his dresses are regularly worn out-and-about by some of New York’s most effervescent young ladies. Lissner’s gowns are frequently worn by a mix of accomplished performers, including: Emmy Rossum, Taryn Manning, Janet Jackson and Natasha Beddingfield. These strong, talented artists typify the Keith Lissner woman; feminine, unique, and exuding a great sense of self. Keith believes this devotion to fashion, his timeless style and a passionate dedication to his work will push him to the top of the competition. I was sent his new line and like the man himself they are hot. This is the designer of the moment and you heard it here first and that is a F.A.C.T
