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.

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.

I'm one of the biggest introverts you could ever meet.
Tim Gunn
Image
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.

With fashion, you really need to understand the aspects of construction. Not just design on an iPad.

Things are recalibrated according to new perspectives and perceptions. It's fascinating to me.

I just don't like conspicuous consumption. I find it distasteful.

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.

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.

If you don't have experience sewing, start with that, because that will inform what you are able to design.

Mood has a scuba section? Who knew?

It's not an area where designers want to focus or pay attention - women who are larger than a size 12.

I'm so lucky. I've met a lot of famous people.
Tim Gunn
Image
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!

Life is a collaboration, it's not a solo act.

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.

If you want to, you can share my teaching refrain: I can't want you to succeed more than you do.

I haven't had a date in 26 years.

It's man's impact on our world that appeals to me more than just nature running wild.
