Click here for an excellent interview with Tim Gunn from the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
A highlight: When he was here Tuesday, I asked him about Vogue editor Anna Wintour infamously averring in 2009 that after a trip to Minnesota she could "only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses."
Gunn's response was the only time he looked even mildly perturbed during an exhausting evening that ran beyond its defined time because he signed every book brought forth by those with wrist bands.
"Repugnant, irresponsible, unkind, hideous comment," said Gunn. "I'm sorry, it is."
The Project Runway mentor will be making several local media appearances and will be signing his book, Gunn's Golden Rules: Life's Little Lessons for Making it Work tonight at Borders 830 N. Michigan Ave at 7:00 PM.
"Staffers recommend stopping by the store early for an event wristband (Borders opens at 9 a.m.) and grabbing a copy of the book for $23.99. The signing and a short discussion start at 7 p.m., but you may want to arrive at the store about 5:30 p.m. for a better shot at gaining entry, as it's not guaranteed."
In addition to fashion advice, Tim offers some insider gossip in his new book: Gunn's Golden Rules: Life's Little Lessons for Making it Work. Tim dishes on an encounter with Anna Wintour at designer Peter Som's fashion show at the Metropolitan Pavilion in 2006.
After the show, writes Gunn, "I was with a colleague from Parsons, and we had been discussing the will-she-or-won't-she-take-the-elevator question, so we ran over to the elevator bay to see if Anna would deign to get on. She wasn't there. Then we looked over the stairway railing. And what did we see but Anna being carried down the stairs. The bodyguards had made a fireman's lock and were racing her from landing to landing. She was sitting on their crossed arms." Click here for the full article.
