Tim Gunn, the breakout star of Bravo TV’s Project Runway, will indeed be back for the fourth season of the hit reality show when it returns. Of course, the exact date of Runway’s next season premiere is not currently known. They haven't even done the auditions yet so it'll probably be a while.

Anyway, the nattily-dressed gent has also changed jobs. After spending the last two decades plus at Parsons, where much of Runway is filmed, Tim is moving on up to Liz Claiborne. His new title is Chief Creative Officer.

We weren’t sure what that meant either so we checked out the official press release.

According to Tim’s new boss, William L. McComb, the CEO of Liz Claiborne, “his mission is twofold: return our culture to one that is friendlier to the creative process and help shape more competitive, consistent and compelling product. To be clear, this role is not that of master editor -- the divisions will continue to have full control of the brand positioning and product design. Rather, Tim will be a spokesperson for the creative community, a champion of product innovation, integrity and exceptional price-value and a catalyst for the creation of the irresistible product our consumers want and deserve. He is also charged with creating systems to further develop our creative community and scouting the market for great talent.”

Tim’s new employer is thrilled with his involvement in Project Runway and other related projects. Mr. McComb says, “Tim knows we fully support his Bravo projects, including his own upcoming series Tim Gunn's Guide to Style. In fact, it is his involvement in these initiatives and the design world at large that will help keep Tim vital in this new role.”

However, not everyone is thrilled with Tim’s new gig. Jay McCarroll, the winner of Project Runway’s first season, told New York magazine, “He’s having his heyday, but I also don’t think he’s an authority on any designer’s life. He went to school for sculpture or something. I don’t think that he’s ever, to my knowledge, started a fashion line and therefore should not be the adviser or the fuckin’ creative director … how dare you pretend to know what I should be doing with my company? It’s none of your business, dude — you’ve never started a fashion line. You’ve never initiated showing at Bryant Park on your own so don’t tell me what my time line is to show at fuckin’ Bryant Park.”
