Kudos to Tim Gunn

surfk — Tue, 10 Nov 2015 05:31:32 GMT

Tim Gunn has his collection here at QVC. And one has to admire not only his sense of style but his common sense, too.

I won't post the link but recently he was interviewed by Huffington Post's online video edition.

When asked about the (so called) "fashion collection" by Kanye West, Mr. Gunn explained beautifully why its NOT fashion or even worthy of anyone's time or interest (let alone, dollars).

He then went on to give one of the best reasoned explanations of what it is that makes the entire Kardashian clan so offensive to everything visual, fashion, moral and of any sort of taste.

No love loss, to say the least.

But its good to hear someone of such a high profile with genuine fashion knowledge and credibility explain what all is wrong in this strange, manufactured adoration of things vulgar (or "Kardashian" as he might say very plainly).

And while there may be "different strokes for different folks", I personally do think that certain strokes can be harmful to the culture and to young women in particular. If the role models of not only behavior and but also of style or fashion are so bottom feeder (no pun intended) as to make the Kardashians such moguls, I rue the day when young men and women grow into their majority thinking that somehow cheap and skanky is acceptable and even desirable.

Its interesting, though, how Gunn puts it out there very plainly that a machine is behind it all - a big dollar machine - which recognizes no taste, merit or responsibility.

Mr. Gunn is a true gentleman and an arbiter of fashion

I don't know anything about Mr. Gunn, but of course he's entitled to his opinion. I don't find the Kardashians offensive. I find the Duggars and their brand of hypocritical, homophobic proselytizing offensive. The "do as I say, not as I do" attitude and the fact they work to pass legislation that limits the rights of others makes me sick. At least the Kardashians are above board about who they are. If you want to talk vulgar, driven by the quest for the almighty dollar, look no further than the Arkansas brood of mommy and daddy D.

Hi @Maudelynn

I find both families equally offensive, Your assessment of the family from Arkansas is 'spot on'.

I think I know who Tim Gunn is, but may have to google him. He looks like Anderson Cooper a little?

Don't know the Dugards really, they're part of this story how?

Kanye West, bleck. I think I like the Kardashians more than him!

Sorry, there's no 'kudos.'

If he believes in his own words, he's bought into the Kardashian Wave.

I've always said,

"Apathy is the Kardashian worst nightmare.

Stop talking about them & they'll go away."

If he DOESN'T believe in his own words, he's wise to connect his name to a social media 'click bait' name...especially DAYS before the new PRJr show premieres. Coincidence?

IknowIknow, he has said things about them before, but this sounds so beautifully orchestrated Public Relations, it just can't be ignored.

If anyone wants to be noticed, just place your name & 'Kardashian' in the same sentence. Instant fame.

Good public relations...and more $$$ for the K's.

They're probably saying, "Thank you, Tim Gunn."

Tim Gunn shared his opinion on the vulgarity of the K clan. I shared mine- which is the Ks are not nearly as vulgar as the Duggars.

Tim Gunn is also known to NOT be a big fan of Isaac, once calling him a very, very (lots of verys) bad man. Wonder if their paths will cross?

Tim Gunn seems to be an old school gentleman, who no doubt knows trash when he sees it.

He appeared with a line here on the Q briefly. It was home decor/bedding and I don't believe it sold very well. I only saw him on once and his stuff is on clearance and last clicks and has been for a long time..

I don't like him at all. All the talk about him being a gentleman and above the likes of the Kardashians and Isaac, he sure finds his ways to trash everyone he dislikes. I find him to be arrogant and quite abrasive.

I like TIm Gunn. When asked the craziest thing he has seen in fashion, he responded seeing Anna Wintour getting carried down 5 flights of stairs. Her people really wanted him to retract that statement and he said he wouldn't because it was true. They really didn't like that.

I neither love or hate the Kardashians. They certainly have made something out of nothing. I don't understand that kind of vanity and the constant selfies. To me, that seems just so narcissistic but if that makes them happy, more power to them. I do not understand Kims need to try to make her swollen feet fit into shoes they should be in. I think it looks absolutely ridiculous and painful. Some pregnant women just get swollen feet and I don't understand the need to not just take a break wearing crazy shoes that would only make it worse.
