Just the way it never rains when you have an umbrella, you'll never run into people if you look fantastic. But go outside in pajamas, and you'll run into every ex you have.

More quotes by Tim Gunn
I want to say to anyone who works in a drone workplace, raise the bar! There's no reason why you have to dress to the lowest common denominator.
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
Staples are only good if they truly suit our lifestyle.
Tim Gunn
I'm honest about expressing my opinions. At the same time, I'm diplomatic in how I do critique things if I have a negative response.
Tim Gunn
I hate the word eclectic .I'm a classicist, and I like comfort. Lots of books, lots of artwork, pieces of family furniture, and newer upholstery.
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
I'm not sure what the moral is here...I really just wanted to tell that story.
Tim Gunn
Mood has a scuba section? Who knew?
Tim Gunn
Whoever's designing for plus-size doesn't get it. The entire garment needs to be reconceived. You can't just take a size 8 and make it larger.
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 have a couple of thousand books in my personal library. Choosing a favorite is next to impossible. But I do love the written word.
Tim Gunn
I haven't had a date in 26 years.
Tim Gunn
It's man's impact on our world that appeals to me more than just nature running wild.
Tim Gunn
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
It's so important to reach out to people you trust, and who can give you honest feedback, and keep those people close to you. You don't want to surround yourself with enablers.
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
I don't believe in the scraping of stuff. Take the existing condition, offer up a diagnosis for what's wrong, and a prescription for making it work.
Tim Gunn
Why must she dress that way? I think she's confused about her gender.
Tim Gunn
I'm really not a trend promoter because I feel that people push trends on people they shouldn't.
Tim Gunn
Being a student in an art & design school, that was the moment for me, that was when I began to develop a lot of self-confidence and really come into my own.
