Promotion for season 12 of Project Runway is now heavily underway but, according to TooFab, it hit a serious bump in the road when the latest artwork was deemed too raunchy to be displayed in public.

A cropped version of the photo is above, click on the image to see it in full.

What you can’t see in it – but you can probably guess it’s there – is a group of male and female models wearing their best Adam and Eve suits.

Contrastingly, judges and mentors Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn are wearing royal attire. You get the idea.

One such billboard was put up in LA and caused such a ruckus that it was immediately pulled, the aforementioned e-zine says.

“The photo was set to run on billboards, posters, websites, bus shelters and in magazines, but the nude bodies were just a little too risqué for the public in L.A. – so a version with underwear will run in its place,” TooFab adds.
