  <default-description>There seems to be no one more qualified or equipped to ponder or even, dare I say, dictate 'quality, taste, and style' than Tim.&quot;  -Sarah Jessica Parker, actor/producer&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;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.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Now readers can benefit from Tim's considerable fashion wisdom in &lt;I&gt;Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste &amp; Style&lt;/I&gt;.  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 &quot;make it work!&quot;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Something that I picked up from the library on a whim because I was missing Mr. Gunn and Project Runway. I like reading these &quot;how to have buy and wear clothes&quot; sorts of books sometimes, especially the ones with a list of pieces every woman should have in her closet.

    <body><![CDATA[this book didn't necessarily revolutionize my style, but was a quick and entertaining read with tim gunn's witticisms and sassiness, no doubt targeted at fans of project runway.  but the book succeeds too as a practical guide to how to dress and compose oneself.  i have a new determination to really...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73709966">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I've always got one or two fashion books that I am currently-reading.    I had the good fortune to be able to meet Tim Gunn a few months ago and I received a signed copy of the book at that event.    I've enjoyed what I've read so far.   Tim's wit and charm just warm you from the start of the book. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22628226">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was going to give this book 3 stars, but I had to add one more to reflect the &quot;Tim Gunn bump.&quot;  I'm a big Tim Gunn fan.  He's just such a classy, articulate, fashionable and --- dare I say --- wise man.  The book is a nice, fluffy read.  Nothing too earth-shattering is revealed in this b...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20665099">more...</a>]]></body>
