I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE TIM GUNN AROUND WHEN I SHOP. AT LEAST I'LL KNOW HE'S BEING HONEST.
Tim Gunn is always known to give his honest opinions on what's working currently on the fashion scene. This fall season was no exception as he recently gave his thoughts on the current state of fashion to a New York newspaper. Here's what the fashion guru had to say: "I have to say that one of the things I love about fashion today is that there is something for everybody," says Gunn, whose day job is now the chief creative officer of Liz Claiborne Inc. "Whether you're a classicist, bohemian, minimalist - it's out there. And if you're exuberant and over the top, it's there for you, too."
I concur, oh wise fashionable one.
What's Hot and What's Not so Hot!
-The modern peacoat is a must-have item, especially in a vibrant colour or with a cinched waist. He also likes the look of a patent leather trench. "I've seen it in black, and it's stunning. I've seen it in white - I'm not a great fan of white - but Valentino and Michael Kors both did red, and I love the return of that." Gunn says.
-Gunn hopes the dress is here to stay. It provides so many options to women, he says, but it also is the easiest solution for day-to-day dressing.
-Tim won't go so far as to say he doesn't like the high-waisted pants trend, but he acknowledges it can be difficult for most women to wear.
-The round-toe pump is another item he's not so keen on. "It tends to cut you off. I'd stay away from that if I was a woman," Gunn notes.
-For men, he is a fan of the slimmer silhouette that's been adopted in recent seasons.
Less bulk is flattering on everyone, even men who think they're hiding a little bit of girth under an oversized jacket, he says.
But the shorter pant - a.k.a. flood pant - is taking modern menswear too far. "Who wants to walk around looking like Pee Wee Herman?"
I know I don't!
