More quotes by 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
I'm much more of a Leo than I am a Cancer.

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

Tim Gunn
I learned early on in teaching how easy it is to hurt a young person and that's never my intention.
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
May I respond by merely saying, I hate crocs. May they please go away.
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
Mood has a scuba section? Who knew?
Tim Gunn
It's not an area where designers want to focus or pay attention - women who are larger than a size 12.
Tim Gunn
