Tim Gunn at Maryland
I just got back from a live presentation/lecture by Tim Gunn, and it was so absolutely exciting that I just have to share with all you Tim Gunn fans out there (because he is absolutely awesome and lovable).
The presentation itself was short and basically he just gave us some tips on fashion, most of which I consider common sense. But hearing it again from Tim Gunn just makes it seem so much more awesome and authorative, since after all, it’s coming from him. Most of the time he opened up the floor for people to ask questions, and of all the questions asked, the following two were the most memorable:
Who were your favorite designers from each season of Project Runway?
Tim Gun told us that he really liked each of the designers on the show and developed a close relationship with them as filming went on, so it was hard to pinpoint which ones exactly. However, he said he could tell us which ones he would send on to a desert island. I don’t remember who he said for seasons 1-4, but for season 5, those of you who watched the show should be able to guess this. Kenley. As a matter of fact, Tim Gunn even went on to say that he’d row her there in a boat himself, but then she’d probably complain that he was rowing in the wrong direction! The whole room (about 1000 people I’d say) just cracked up at hearing that because that’s probably what would happen!
What do you think of the typical college girl’s outfit: long shirt, leggings, uggs, and a northface jacket?
At first Tim was confused about what types of leggings the girl was referring to, but once he understood the general idea, he said it was fabulous and that the only thing which could look better would be replacing the uggs with crocs! Of course, we all knew he was being sarcastic and that he thought the outfit was heinous, because he had that expression on his face (you know what expression I’m talking about), and quite frankly, I agree. I never thought uggs were good looking to begin with, though I can’t deny that they are as warm and comfortable as anything, but seriously. Some people just don’t have the body built for this kind of outfit, and they just end up looking worse.Error processing request
