As Bravo's style mentor and Chair of the Fashion Design Department at Parsons The New School for Design, Tim delivers advice in a frank, witty, and authoritative manner that delights audiences. Now readers can benefit from Tim's considerable fashion wisdom in Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste & Style. He discusses every aspect of creating and maintaining your personal style: how to dress for various occasions, how to shop (from designer to chain to vintage stores), how to pick a fashion mentor, how to improve your posture, find the perfect fit, and more. He'll challenge every reader-whether a seasoned fashionista or a style neophyte-to 'make it work!' Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Love Tim Gunn but dislike this book. As a book on style, I find it lacking. After all, how will a man (even if he is gay) help women dress? I find Nina Garcia's book or even Rachel Zoe's more informative and inspiring. I think the best advice comes from women who are successful themselves in the fashion industry and come from a fashion background. They will have the same issues as me, putting importance on the comfort and how one feels in clothes rather than just how it looks which is what I feel Tim Gunn book does. And we all ... Read More Rating: - Disappointing I like Tim Gunn, but this book was extremely disappointing. First, the design is horrendous: The chapter openers, headings, and subheadings are in a shocking pink typeface that is very hard to read. The pages are small and the print seems to crawl all over the page. There are no photographs. I was expecting some kind of disciplined discussion of style, but instead, the book came off as several hours of Tim Gunn dictating into a microphone, complete with digressions, which might be ... Read More Rating: - A real let-down I am a big fan of "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style" and I always thought his makeovers were lovely. I expected more of the same from this book, but was sadly disappointed. The lack of pictures is probably the book's biggest weakness; he should have included some diagrams when he (very briefly) described pants/shirts for different leg/torso length combinations. He also lists several "style mentors", which I found to be useless without pictures. I honestly got to the end of this book and thought, "What was ... Read More Rating: - Gunn Book falls short I expected more for Tim Gunn. He makes several poings, but for the most part, the book is nothing new. Rating: - Surprisingly Helpful I looked at this book a couple of times at the bookstore but passed it by because it didn't have a lot of glitzy photographs. Then I ordred it anyway. To my surprise, it is chock full of great advice. Tim Gunn writes with humor and humility. He NEVER speaks down to the reader. In fact, he's very encouraging as he tells the reader to celebrate our flaws and to not be so hard on ourselves. He doesn't insist that everyone run out and buy the lastest fad, in fact, he discourages it. He urges simplifying ...
