Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style

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!" more

The master of style has spoken.

I just LUV Tim Gunn. Seriously, this man gives it to you straight and without making you feel bad about yourself in the process. I loved his show but, apparently, it's been cancelled. His book is the next best thing. If you are looking to tweak your look a bit or to have a complete overhaul, this...

Good on basics, not enough visuals hurts this book

I have never seen Tim Gunn's series on Bravo and don't know much about him. I bought this book as I have decided to get serious with my fashion choices. Mr. Gunn obviously has an impeccable background in fashion what with being from the Parsons School of Design, having great taste in fashion...

Great Book

I found this book to be a humorously informative book on dressing with "Quality, Taste & Style." Develop your own sense of style, but do it with class. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to add great basics to her wardrobe, ones that will last for years. He gives good advice on...

Enjoyed this book very much

I found this book very enjoyable and informative. It is one of the rare books I read cover to cover, partly due to Tim Gunn's excellent sense of humor. The most valuable piece of info I gathered from it carried me through the fall and winter - the purchasing of a good grey cardigan to wear with...

Fun Read

While reading this book it was like I heard Tim reading it to me himself. I did gain a few ideas about updating my wardrobe from him, but what I really liked about the book was the context it gave me. It really was able to help understand some fashion terms (there is a glossary but he also...

Tim Gunn's Guide to Style

This was a very entertaining and articulate read. I could imagine Tim speaking over my shoulder as I read. It was certainly not a paint-by-numbers approach to what you should wear. True to his TV show of the same name, he gives you all the information you need to go out and select the clothing...

Tim Gunn: A Guide to Qualtiy, Taste and Style

This book was a wonderful gift. My daughter loved it. I would also like to add that Amazaon was amazing when I made an error on the shipping address. They were able to get me another book in time for the holidays. Thank you amazon for your help.

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...

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...

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)...
