More quotes by Tim Gunn
The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.
Tim Gunn
I will say that the high road can get so high that you can get a nose bleed, in which case you have to get off the high road.
Tim Gunn
With fashion, you really need to understand the aspects of construction. Not just design on an iPad.
Tim Gunn
Leggings are everywhere, indeed. Personally, I'm not crazy about them, but they can look great with the right look, a tunic, for instance, or a long cardigan. Just don't try to dress them up!
Tim Gunn
And I'm the first one to tell people to break the rules. But you can only break the rules once you know what the rules are. The other thing is, fashion is the last design discipline to actually have academic texts and historical analysis.
Tim Gunn
Mood has a scuba section? Who knew?
Tim Gunn
The element of fashion I'd like to see more often? Clothes that fit people well. For me it's not so much about the clothes.
Tim Gunn
The color, the shape, and the texture--none of it is accidental. Every item we wear has a glorious (or sometimes not so glorious) history, and that history extends back years--centuries, even--before Oscar de la Renta's 2002 collection.
Tim Gunn
I'm constantly reminding myself that the world owes us nothing. We have to make our way and we have to work hard, persevere and make our own way in the world because the world isn't waiting for us, so let's let the world know we are here.
Tim Gunn
When it comes to dressing, comfort is overrated. A little discomfort probably means your clothes fit and they're not pajamas.
Tim Gunn
Frankly, from my perspective, the bomber jacket is such a classic item you can wear it even when it's not on trend.
Tim Gunn
Life is a collaboration, it's not a solo act.
Tim Gunn
I've worn a suit and tie for most of my life. And I believe (for me), it makes me more confident navigating the world.
Tim Gunn
Call me a schoolmarm, but few things make me angrier than people not taking good care of library materials.
Tim Gunn
Success needs to be measured according to the ambitions and the resources of each designer. And many aren't interested in being a megabrand.
Tim Gunn
Does a man need to know what a peplum is? Probably not.
Tim Gunn
I haven't had a date in 26 years.
Tim Gunn
I just think the Kardashians have an absence of taste and I don’t think that that should be perpetuated. I’m sorry I’m sounding like an old farty, snob, but it bothers me.
Tim Gunn
I'm really not a trend promoter because I feel that people push trends on people they shouldn't.
Tim Gunn
Staples are only good if they truly suit our lifestyle.
