Wednesday night Chicago Social Magazine hosted an event, hosted by Tim Gunn, for designer John Bartlett at The Bristol.
Tim and I had worked together on The Morning Show With Mike and Juliet. I’ll never forget how nervous I was choosing an outfit for that show! Tim is a respected fashion guru and I really wanted to impress him. Maria Pinto gave me a wonderful jacket to wear, and I nearly died when Tim complimented it.
I wanted to ask Tim to sign a copy of his new book “A Guide To Quality Taste and Style” for my friend who is a designer, and I didn’t expect Tim to remember me at all.
He was surrounded by people all night, and I waited patiently to approach him. He remembered doing the show, and we both agreed we were sad that it had been cancelled. He liked the show’s randomness and fun-factor.
Now that we were BFF again, I had to ask Tim his take on Bravo’s Project Runway rip-off–The Fashion Show.
Tim admitted that he hadn’t seen the show yet since most of his life is spent in hotels that don’t have the Bravo network. However- we both agreed that Kelly Rowland may be fierce, but she’s an odd choice as a “fashion expert”. Tim said that Project Runway is done filming it’s 6th season. And while he wouldn’t reveal who won, he did promise the LA season would be the most competitive yet.
Watch Tim “make it work” on the new season of Project Runway starting August 20th on Lifetime.
