\"project<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been crossing off the days until the premiere of season 10 of Project Runway<\/em><\/a> like a kid waiting for summer vacation. Obviously, the fashions are inspiring, the drama is entertaining, and the judges’ critiques are absolutely hilarious, but one of the main reasons that Project Runway<\/em> is do-not-disturb television is the unparalleled Tim Gunn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like a fashion father figure, he guides the designers to create clothing that’s fun, fashion-forward, and best of all, eco- and animal-friendly. Tim is a vocal opponent of fur<\/a> and the cruelty to animals<\/a> and environmental destruction<\/a> involved in its production. At his direction, Project Runway<\/em> is 100 percent fur-free (and Tim takes this edict seriously, as Josh Christensen<\/a> from season nine can attest).<\/p>\n

There are plenty of reasons why a classy chap like Tim or a beautiful model like Elisabetta Canalis<\/a> would choose to shun fur. It takes massive amounts of nasty chemicals such as ammonia, formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, and other chromates and bleaching agents to keep fur from rotting, and besides, does anyone really want to wear an animal who has been skinned alive<\/a>? Um, no thanks.<\/p>\n

Until the new season of Project Runway starts tonight on Lifetime, <\/strong>we can watch Tim in action in a laugh-out-loud video of him chasing Swatch, the resident dog at Mood:<\/strong><\/p>\n
