TIM GUNN’S #1 FASHION RULE: ‘DON’T DRESS LIKE A KARDASHIAN. IT’S VULGAR, PERIOD.’

The word I keep using with regards to Tim Gunn is “glorious.”
The man is glorious. Gunn really doesn’t care who he
alienates, and he’s about two seconds away from giving Anna
Wintour a rage-stroke. In the past six months, he’s saved his
most serious (and hilarious) insults for the Kardashian-Jenner
clan though.

Over the summer, Us Weekly handed him Kim
Kardashian’s coffee table book, Selfish , and Tim went OFF.
He called it “disgusting and vile” and said he felt like his IQ
was “plummeting” just by looking at it. Then, in November,
Gunn once again slammed the family, saying their style was
“vulgar” and that Kanye West’s Adidas collection was a
bunch of “dumb clothes.” Well, the NYDN spoke to Tim over
the weekend and he had so much more to say.

On Kanye West’s clothes: “I’m on record having said (his
fashions) are basic, what a dear friend of mine Grace
Mirabella (former editor in Chief of Vogue) calls, dumb
clothes. It’s not fashion. They’re dumb clothes and they’re
expensive, dumb clothes. I’ve always said the only thing
dumber than his clothes is the people who buy them.”

Tim Gunn’s #1 Fashion Rule: “I’m always saying to young
people and actually even to adults, I don’t care what you
wear as long as you don’t dress like a Kardashian. It’s vulgar,
period. But that’s what they are. I believe that their place in
history will be because of this phenomenon that really is
about nothing. And aren’t people getting bored of it?”

Caitlyn or Kylie Jenner ? “I don’t like any of (their style
choices). It’s all the same. Then to read a headline ‘Learn
Caitlyn Jenner’s beauty secrets!‘ She’s a kid! I mean Kylie
sorry. I get all the K’s confused. And I want to say this about
Caitlyn. I have the greatest respect for what she has done
and been through, but no I’m not a fan of the style.”

He was “horrified” when Caitlyn won Glamour’s WOTY Award
and said that the most difficult decision a woman has to
make in the morning is what to wear: “I thought, really? I
think if you asked most other women that it’s not going to be
on the tip of their tongue. She’s like a dizzy broad.

Actually I
love that. She’s a dizzy broad.”
That’s actually a dead-on assessment of Caitlyn Jenner, she
is a dizzy broad. And to confuse Kylie with Caitlyn? Priceless!

As for Tim’s #1 Fashion Rule: Don’t Dress Like A
Kardashian… I can see that. I mean, that’s a good rule of
thumb for any stylist/fashionista. Is it a trash-bag looking
Givenchy? Don’t dress like a Kardashian. Will this onesie
make me look like Humpty Dumpty ? Don’t dress like a
Kardashian. Should I wander around New York looking like a
morose refugee? Don’t wear Kanye’s dumb clothes.
