Elle Fashion Director Nina Garcia, best known as a Project Runway judge along designer Michael Kors and host Heidi Klum, was fired from her post at the magazine, Usmagazine.com learned on Friday.

Elle did not return calls for comment.

Her biography on Bravo's website describes her as working "closely with top designers and stylists and pinpoints the trends of the season in her monthly mission to develop the ultimate look book and shopping guide for stylish women around the globe."

The Colombian-born fashionista got her start in the 1990s working in the PR department at Perry Ellis. She became the fashion director for Elle in 2000.

Her dismissal was the second surprise related to the Emmy-award winning show this week. On Monday, NBC Universal, Bravo's parent company, filed a lawsuit trying to keep the huge hit from moving to Lifetime in the fall.
