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.

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

When it comes to Project Runway, for me the most memorable look ever presented goes back to season one, episode one, when Austin Scarlett created a ravishing cocktail dress out of cornhusks. It was really amazing.

Life is a big collaboration. And we can't navigate it alone.
Tim Gunn
Image
As I continue to mature and navigate the world, there are so many myths that are dispelled for me.
Tim Gunn

I'm not sure what the moral is here...I really just wanted to tell that story.
Tim Gunn
Image
I'm so lucky. I've met a lot of famous people.

Why must she dress that way? I think she's confused about her gender.
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.

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.

Success needs to be measured according to the ambitions and the resources of each designer. And many aren't interested in being a megabrand.

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.
