Lifetime is not slimming on Project Runway.

The fashionista reality show opened its long-delayed sixth season, and began its first on Lifetime, before 4.2 million terribly, terribly patient fans.

The crowd was the biggest opener yet for Project Runway. And the highest-rated premiere ever on Lifetime, the network said.  

The last time Project Runway launched a new season—roughly, one billion years ago (or, July 2008)—the show aired on Bravo, and 2.9 million people tuned in the occasion.
