Mood has a scuba section? Who knew?
Tim Gunn
The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.
Tim Gunn
When it comes to dressing, comfort is overrated. A little discomfort probably means your clothes fit and they're not pajamas.

If you want to, you can share my teaching refrain: I can't want you to succeed more than you do.
Tim Gunn
I'm honest about expressing my opinions. At the same time, I'm diplomatic in how I do critique things if I have a negative response.
Tim Gunn
If I had to choose a single destination where I'd be held captive for the rest of my time in New York, I’d choose the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Tim Gunn
I will always be there in the wings saying, 'You need to be good to people. You need to take your work seriously. You need to have integrity. You need to work with what you've got.
Tim Gunn
I just don't like conspicuous consumption. I find it distasteful.
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.
Tim Gunn
I just think the Kardashians have an absence of taste and I don’t think that that should be perpetuated. I’m sorry I’m sounding like an old farty, snob, but it bothers me.
Tim Gunn
I'm really not a trend promoter because I feel that people push trends on people they shouldn't.
Tim Gunn
I am a stickler for good manners, and I believe that treating other people well is a lost art. In the workplace, at the dinner table, and walking down the street--we are confronted with choices on how to treat people nearly every waking moment. Over time these choices define who we are and whether we have a lot of friends and allies or none.
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
Whoever's designing for plus-size doesn't get it. The entire garment needs to be reconceived. You can't just take a size 8 and make it larger.
Tim Gunn
Life is a big collaboration. And we can't navigate it alone.
Tim Gunn
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
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 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
The color, the shape, and the texture--none of it is accidental. Every item we wear has a glorious (or sometimes not so glorious) history, and that history extends back years--centuries, even--before Oscar de la Renta's 2002 collection.
Tim Gunn
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.
