Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock with your fingers in your ears, you’d know a thing or two about Madonna‘s cone brassieres.

Our gamer prayers have been answered: A video game based on Project Runway launches March 2. According to WWD, Tim Gunn, Heidi Klum and Michael Kors “don’t carry Uzis, kill monsters or zoom along city streets in souped-up hot rods, ” but that would be amazing! [WWD]
