Nina Garcia, one day removed from joining Marie Claire, has been named Elle's editor-at-large until September 1, 2008. The deal allows her to remain as the mag's representative on Project Runway through season five.

In a statement, Garcia said "I'm happy to continue my association with Elle while focusing on my role on Project Runway. I'm also working on my second book which will be out this Fall."

Oh Nina, never one to miss an opportunity to plug, well, everything.
