It's so important to reach out to people you trust, and who can give you honest feedback, and keep those people close to you. You don't want to surround yourself with enablers.

More quotes by Tim Gunn
I haven't had a date in 26 years.
Tim Gunn
I wouldn't know what to do on a date. I don't have the time. To make a relationship work, I'd have to give something up, and I'm not so sure I'm willing to do that.
Tim Gunn
But if fashion were easy, wouldn't everybody look great ?
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
With fashion, you really need to understand the aspects of construction. Not just design on an iPad.
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.
Tim Gunn
I'm much more of a Leo than I am a Cancer.
Tim Gunn
I don't know why I've always been so captivated by architecture.
Tim Gunn
People put on certain clothes for certain reasons, I assume, when their closet is filled with clothes.
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
If you want to write an angry e-mail, write it but don't send it. It's based on my experience that whenever I have acted out in some manner, I have always regretted it.
Tim Gunn
Remember someone is going to be out, so don’t make it you.
Tim Gunn
Life is a collaboration, it's not a solo act.
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
People believe that if you're concerned about the clothes you're wearing and the larger aspects of your appearance, that it's anti-intellectual. I say Hogwash! The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.
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
As long as we have Netfix, Turner Classic Movies, Amazon, YouTube, and bookstores, there is no excuse ever to lack inspiration.
Tim Gunn
I found early on in teaching, if you're too blunt an instrument, the students discredit you and think you're just being mean. They're not interested in what you have to say.
Tim Gunn
The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.
