More quotes by Tim Gunn
But if fashion were easy, wouldn't everybody look great ?
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 just don't like conspicuous consumption. I find it distasteful.
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
Being in the moment is everything. So being in the moment for me is just letting the narrative play out, listening to the designers and giving them helpful feedback about what they're doing.
Tim Gunn
I learned from teaching. If you are perceived by the student to be belittling them or purely criticizing them without offering up words of encouragement and support, they shut down and discredit you.
Tim Gunn
Don't give up! You're too talented. You're too good!
Tim Gunn
I was a teacher and an administrator at Parson's School of Design, and as an administrator, I was associate dean. And in that role, I went around fixing things that were broken. And the Parson's fashion program was broken.So fashion chose me. It needed to be developed and evolve. I don't know if it comes naturally to anyone.
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
If you want to, you can share my teaching refrain: I can't want you to succeed more than you do.
Tim Gunn
I pretty much stay true to myself and try to find the good in people and not be snarky.
Tim Gunn
I'm one of the biggest introverts you could ever meet.
Tim Gunn
May I respond by merely saying, I hate crocs. May they please go away.
Tim Gunn
Success needs to be measured according to the ambitions and the resources of each designer. And many aren't interested in being a megabrand.
Tim Gunn
Call me a schoolmarm, but few things make me angrier than people not taking good care of library materials.
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
Staples are only good if they truly suit our lifestyle.
Tim Gunn
As I've matured, I've developed more confidence in pattern mixing and in having a slimmer fit and in taking some risks, and I enjoy it!
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
I believe that it's very important to get to know people with whom you can have a substantive dialogue about design and its development. In addition, read everything about fashion that you can get your hands on. A palpable point of view is what makes a designer, so you need to be confident about yours.
