May I respond by merely saying, I hate crocs. May they please go away.

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
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.

Why must she dress that way? I think she's confused about her gender.
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'm so lucky. I've met a lot of famous people.
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.

Mood has a scuba section? Who knew?

Frankly, I think that fur on a man is difficult to pull off. If it's the warmth you're after, then I'd go with a fur-lined coat - it won't show.
Tim Gunn
There’s one thing I will not do, ever: I will never talk to you about things you cannot change. It plants a negativity in the head of a designer or the student, and it’s a distraction.
