Editorial Review

There seems to be no one more qualified or equipped to ponder or even, dare I say, dictate 'quality, taste, and style' than Tim." -Sarah Jessica Parker, actor/producer
Television has introduced the world to a new fashion authority: Tim Gunn. 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!"

And we all know that how... more info
• Disappointing

  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 amusing in a... more info
• 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 that... more info
• Gunn Book falls short
  I expected more for Tim Gunn. He makes several poings, but for the most part, the book is nothing new.
