I don't believe in the scraping of stuff. Take the existing condition, offer up a diagnosis for what's wrong, and a prescription for making it work.
Tim Gunn
I haven't had a date in 26 years.
Tim Gunn
At all costs, avoid clothes that are too big. The more volume your clothes have, the more volume you appear to have.
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
Does a man need to know what a peplum is? Probably not.
Tim Gunn
I have a couple of thousand books in my personal library. Choosing a favorite is next to impossible. But I do love the written word.

Life is not a solo act. It's a huge collaboration, and we all need to assemble around us the people who care about us and support us in times of strife.

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
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.
Tim Gunn
Leggings are everywhere, indeed. Personally, I'm not crazy about them, but they can look great with the right look, a tunic, for instance, or a long cardigan. Just don't try to dress them up!
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
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
The element of fashion I'd like to see more often? Clothes that fit people well. For me it's not so much about the clothes.
Tim Gunn
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.
Tim Gunn
Just the way it never rains when you have an umbrella, you'll never run into people if you look fantastic. But go outside in pajamas, and you'll run into every ex you have.
Tim Gunn
It was very challenging to mentor the mentors, and yes, you do see more sides of my personality.
Tim Gunn
The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.
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
A couple of things for the not-so-diminutive man: avoid any prints that are large scale, because you will look like the print is wearing you, as opposed to you wearing the print.

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