More quotes by 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
If you want to, you can share my teaching refrain: I can't want you to succeed more than you do.
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
I'm so lucky. I've met a lot of famous people.
Tim Gunn
I love shopping on a budget. I believe that more fashion mistakes are made by people with deep pockets than by those who shop on a budget.

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.

When it comes to Project Runway, for me the most memorable look ever presented goes back to season one, episode one, when Austin Scarlett created a ravishing cocktail dress out of cornhusks. It was really amazing.

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

It's not an area where designers want to focus or pay attention - women who are larger than a size 12.
Tim Gunn
But if fashion were easy, wouldn't everybody look great ?
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 always say I have a Socratic approach to most things that I do. I pummel people with questions, because I need to know what they're thinking, what they're trying to achieve, what they believe the final outcome is going to be.
Tim Gunn
It's man's impact on our world that appeals to me more than just nature running wild.
Tim Gunn
Remember someone is going to be out, so don’t make it you.
Tim Gunn
Does a man need to know what a peplum is? Probably not.
Tim Gunn
If you don't have experience sewing, start with that, because that will inform what you are able to design.
Tim Gunn
Life is a collaboration, it's not a solo act.
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
People put on certain clothes for certain reasons, I assume, when their closet is filled with clothes.
