UPDATE 3:10 PM - The NY Post has an article today about a Craigslist fashion model scam using Project Runway designer Christian Siriano's name. From the NY Post:

...Fake ads on the online classified ad service are using the "Project Runway" winner's name to recruit models -- and the designer is striking back.

Starting last February, Siriano's clothing company began receiving inquiries from modeling hopefuls that had come across the Craigslist ads, the Web site Fashionista reported...

... "There seem to be two [scams] going on. The first wanted models of a specific type and gave an address of where to go," Bianconi said. "We were concerned for safety, that's why Christian said in his Twitter 'be careful' . . . The second one seems to be money-based."...

I have no idea whether the Craigslist ad seeking a model for fashion work on Roosevelt Island is legitimate or a scam like the one described by the Post. So be advised and be careful!
