Saint Tim Speaks

Our pal Mo Ryan sat down recently to talk to Tim Gunn about....well, about everything really. Some choice bits:

"The point is not to prescribe fashion rules that apply to anyone and everyone, Gunn and Webb said, but to get people to be honest about their lifestyles and their bodies – and to throw out or give away all those fashion disasters hiding in the corner of their closets."

"Gunn was asked what famous person he’d most like to give style advice to, and he chose an American legend who is also a frequent target on worst-dressed lists."

"I caught up with Gunn after the "Guide" panel and asked him how Season 4 of “Project Runway,” which is already filming in New York and which debuts later this fall, is shaping up. Is there another jaunt to Paris in the works? Gunn wouldn’t say, but he did allow that “we do leave the Parsons studios. I just can’t tell you where we go."

"Given how famous he is now, can he still go out and about in New York City? “I can and I do,” he said, though he did have one fame-related moment that wasn’t too pleasant on July 14. He was hosting an Outfest event in Los Angeles, where he was mobbed by fans."
