Mychael Knight, a fashion designer and finalist on Season 3 of “Project Runway,” has died at the age of 39.

Knight passed away on Tuesday morning at a hospital in Georgia, according to TMZ. He recently checked into the hospital and had been receiving treatment for intestinal issues, reports the site.

“We are saddened to hear about the passing of a member of the Project Runway family, designer Mychael Knight,” Lifetime, which airs the series, told Page Six in a statement. “It’s a loss of a great talent and we wish his family peace and solace during this difficult time.”

After his 2006 stint on “Project Runway,” Knight came back to the “All Stars” version of the fashion design competition series.

In March, he told Ebony that in addition to working as designer and creative director of his own collection and a secondary line, MYKA.Mychael Knight, he was developing a line of dresses for a mass retailer and “venturing into wardrobe/costume for TV and film.”

“It’s always my mission to create looks that address their individual body and not the trends,” he told Ebony of his design mantra.

He showed during New York Fashion Week just last month.

According to his website, “bright color palettes, refreshing details, and quality, sophisticated structure continue to define the brand’s effortless take on dressing the modern women.”

Emails sent to Knight’s brand were not immediately returned.
