One of my favorite voices on style was on NPR's Fresh Air yesterday. Tim Gunn talked about his own approach to clothes while we're on lockdown, his evolution on criticizing the "comfort trap" and much more. It was a great interview. (But it was Terry Gross talking to Tim Gunn. Of course it was a great interview.)
Tim Gunn is a huge advocate for shopping on a budget, and I love him for that. This is a guy who is not only a major television personality, but a fashion and style expert, a best-selling author and an exquisitely tailored influencer who always delivers. Perhaps most interestingly to me, Tim is also a man who can afford to outspend most high-rollers who aspire to look half as good as he does, and he chooses to get his suits from Suitsupply. Not a luxury label. Not a high-end designer. Suitsupply – maker of beautiful, high-quality suits at an incredibly affordable price point.
In the world of fashion and menswear, there are many people I admire, though very few people with whom I’d actually like to be friends. Tim Gunn is one of them. He’s smart, he’s honest and, by all accounts, exactly the same in real life as he is on television.
