More quotes by Tim Gunn
We shop out of boredom, for release, for excitement, for a sense of achievement, for a sense of control over our unruly existences. And every so often, we shop because we need something to wear.
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
I believe in the semiotics of clothes. They send a message about how the world perceives us. For me it goes beyond clothes, it's grooming. It's accessories. It's the whole head to toe look.
Tim Gunn
I am the anti-trend guy? I don't believe in chasing trends. And before anyone shops, I believe you benefit from doing a closet inventory. Ask yourself what am I wearing, what am I not wearing, and you'll probably discover things you didn't even know you had.
Tim Gunn
I found early on in teaching, if you're too blunt an instrument, the students discredit you and think you're just being mean. They're not interested in what you have to say.
Tim Gunn
With fashion, you really need to understand the aspects of construction. Not just design on an iPad.
Tim Gunn
If you don't have experience sewing, start with that, because that will inform what you are able to design.
Tim Gunn
I believe that treating other people well is a lost art.

What's important to a fashion designer? It's much more than learning how to make clothes. In fact, that merely makes you a dressmaker. It doesn't make you into a fashion designer.
Tim Gunn
Remember someone is going to be out, so don’t make it you.
Tim Gunn
Why must she dress that way? I think she's confused about her gender.
Tim Gunn
May I respond by merely saying, I hate crocs. May they please go away.
Tim Gunn
Life is a big collaboration. And we can't navigate it alone.
Tim Gunn
Everyone has a best feature, so find clothes and accessories to accentuate those, whether it’s your shoulders or your long legs!
Tim Gunn
Mood has a scuba section? Who knew?
Tim Gunn
I'm really not a trend promoter because I feel that people push trends on people they shouldn't.
Tim Gunn
Men: don't wear the untucked shirttail. It cuts you in half, which is a very bad proportion. Think of yourself as a series of thirds. So when the shirt is tucked in, you're 1/3 on top, 2/3 on the bottom.
Tim Gunn
If you want to write an angry e-mail, write it but don't send it. It's based on my experience that whenever I have acted out in some manner, I have always regretted it.
Tim Gunn
If you are going to be catty, you have to be careful with whom you do it, and in what manner! It's the kind of behavior that is best kept behind closed doors.
Tim Gunn
If you're wearing a jacket, as I always am, the sweater vest always needs to be buttoned, with the exception of the bottom button. But if you're going sans jacket, you can leave it open.
