I’ll be honest, the after nine seasons, the Project Runway franchise was beginning to be a little stale, until now.  Project Accessory, a Project Runway spin off, will premier Thursday, October 27, 2011 at 10:30pm EST after the Project Runway finale. 

While the premise is still the same - 12 designers facing off for prize money to start his/her own line ($100,000 from eBay) a featured spread in a magazine (InStyle) and one year of professional runway hair styling courtesy of John Frieda – the fact that the designers are making something other than clothing is enough to pique my interest, so I’ll be tuning in.  What about you? Will you watch Project Accessory on Lifetime?
