My manners also came from when I was in college and began participating in critiques. You have to speak with someone respectfully about their work and be honest and open, without hurting them.

I'm really not a trend promoter because I feel that people push trends on people they shouldn't.
Tim Gunn
Remember someone is going to be out, so don’t make it you.

If you want to, you can share my teaching refrain: I can't want you to succeed more than you do.
Tim Gunn
If you had pockets, you were associated with a labor force. It meant you had things to carry yourself. Otherwise, your lady's maid or your manservant would have done it for you.

The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.

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
All the magazines contradict each other because it is so diverse. Know what you like, know what looks good on you and keep doing it, no reason to chase trends.

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
Everyone has a best feature, so find clothes and accessories to accentuate those, whether it’s your shoulders or your long legs!
Tim Gunn
As long as we have Netfix, Turner Classic Movies, Amazon, YouTube, and bookstores, there is no excuse ever to lack inspiration.
Tim Gunn
It's man's impact on our world that appeals to me more than just nature running wild.
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.
Tim Gunn
There's nothing I like better than going to my apartment, closing the door, cooking my little dinner for one and just tuning out. My apartment really is my haven. It's a nest where I go to heal.
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'm so lucky. I've met a lot of famous people.
