SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn are leaving “Project Runway.”
Amazon Prime Video on Friday announced the supermodel and fashion consultant are helping to develop a new reality fashion series, which will combine content with commerce.
Few details were released, but the company said the show will appeal to a “global audience who are entertained by competition” and will create a “shoppable experience.”
In saying “auf Wiedersehen” to “Project Runway,” Klum said in a statement the show will always have a special place in her heart after 16 seasons.
Gunn said he's excited to be part of their next “fashion adventure.”
Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke says she believes the pair will find a larger audience on the Prime Video runway.

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Tiger Woods says the Nike “Just Do It” ad narrated by Colin Kaepernick is “a beautiful spot.”
The two-minute ad highlights superstar athletes LeBron James, Serena Williams and others, and touches on the controversy of NFL player protests during the national anthem.
Woods has been endorsed by Nike his whole career. He did not know in advance about the ad campaign.
Speaking from the BMW Championship, Woods says Nike is “trying to get out ahead” and “do something special.”
The spot aired during the first ad break in the third quarter of the Eagles-Falcons game on Thursday night. Kaepernick watched the ad's first television airing on NBC at an event held at Nike's headquarters in Beaverton, Ore.

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. — Vince Vaughn has been charged with drunken driving.
Los Angeles County prosecutors announced on Friday that the 48-year-old “Wedding Crashers” actor is charged with three misdemeanors: driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage, driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or higher and refusing to comply with police.
Authorities say Vaughn repeatedly refused to get out of his car when officers asked him at a sobriety checkpoint in Manhattan Beach on June 10. Police say he failed a field sobriety test that was captured on an officer's body camera, and a blood test later showed he was over the legal limit.
Vaughn has not entered a plea. He is scheduled to be arraigned on the charges on Monday. His spokesman, Alan Nierob, declined to comment.
