Tim Gunn's words of wisdom

A few months ago I read this article featuring Tim Gunn and I was impressed. It gave his professional, family and educational background and some info about Project Runway. What impressed me the most was his wise words. They are inspiring and something I want to look back on for future reference. :

-"There's no greater calling than design," he says. "Whether you're designing a jacket or designing tablewear, you're making the world a more beautiful place and better place hopefully."

- "Tim Gunn's fashion mantra: Sillouette, proportion and fit. When you have those, you'll look fabulous, no matter what you're wearing."

- "Part of what was so unshackling was the whole aspect that when you're studying art and design, the answer is not in the back of the book. The answer is in you somewhere," Gunn says. "It's a matter of tapping into the resources you have and being creatively untethered."

- "Whatever's happening in politics, with the economy, with popular culture, with our environment - all these things figure into good deisign and good art," Gun says. "It's why I taught for 29 years: I loved watching other people feel the same sense of academic liberation, risk taking and creative recklessness that allows you to do good work."
