Men: don't wear the untucked shirttail. It cuts you in half, which is a very bad proportion. Think of yourself as a series of thirds. So when the shirt is tucked in, you're 1/3 on top, 2/3 on the bottom.

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.

We shop out of boredom, for release, for excitement, for a sense of achievement, for a sense of control over our unruly existences. And every so often, we shop because we need something to wear.

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

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

The clothes we wear send a message about how the world perceives us.

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'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
Being in the moment is everything. So being in the moment for me is just letting the narrative play out, listening to the designers and giving them helpful feedback about what they're doing.
Tim Gunn
And I'm the first one to tell people to break the rules. But you can only break the rules once you know what the rules are. The other thing is, fashion is the last design discipline to actually have academic texts and historical analysis.
Tim Gunn
But if fashion were easy, wouldn't everybody look great ?
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 pretty much stay true to myself and try to find the good in people and not be snarky.
Tim Gunn
If I could predict the trends, they would already be there.

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