Project Runway's return to New York City will apparently be short lived.

"We like to change it up, we like to go back and fourth," Project Runway host and judge Heidi KlumtoldAccess Hollywood on Wednesday. "So, the [eighth season] will probably be back in L.A. again."
While Project Runway's first five editions filmed in New York City, last year's sixth season -- the first to air on Lifetime following the network's acquisition of the show -- was shot in Los Angeles to accommodate Klum's schedule.
Project Runwaypurists weren't the only ones unhappy about the move, as fashion guru Tim Gunn stated he was "panicky" about it before the season premiered.
"When you think about it, the walks from Parsons to Mood, you could have 500 inspirations within a minute," he told Access Hollywood. "The bar is raised. I think the energy level is full-tilt boogie. It's New York. Nothing stops here."
Not surprisingly, Gunn agreed.
"I'm thrilled," he told Access Hollywood. "This is my home. I'm happy I can sleep in my own bed."
For what it's worth, Klum had also claimed to be happy to be back in the Big Apple -- especially since her family gets to come with her.
"We kind of all move to New York. It's fun. We all have this big hotel room. The children love New York," she told Access Hollywood. "New York is exciting!"
