On the runway of life, Tim Gunn is the perfect life coach.
You’ve watched him mentor talented designers on the
hit television show Project Runway. Now the
inimitable Tim Gunn shares his personal secrets for “making
it work”—in your career, relationships, and life. Filled
with delightfully dishy stories of fashion’s greatest divas,
behind-the-scenes glimpses of Runway’s biggest drama
queens, and never-before-revealed insights into Tim’s
private life, Gunn’s Golden Rules is like no other
how-to book you’ve ever read. In the world according to
Tim, there are no shortcuts to success. Hard work,
creativity, and skill are just the beginning. By following
eighteen tried-and-true principles, you can apply Tim’s
rules to anything you set your mind to. You’ll learn why Tim
frowns on displays of bad behavior, like the vitriolic
outburst by Martha Stewart’s daughter about her mother’s
name-brand merchandise. You’ll discover the downfalls of
divadom as he describes Vogue’s André Leon Talley
being hand-fed grapes and Anna Wintour being carried
downstairs by her bodyguards. And you’ll get Tim’s view on
the backstabbing by one designer on Project Runway
and how it brilliantly backfired. Then there are
his down-to-earth guidelines for making life better—for
yourself and others—in small and large ways, especially in
an age that favors comfort over politeness, ease over style.
Texting at the dinner table? Wearing shorts to the theater?
Not in Tim’s book. Living a well-mannered life of integrity
and character is hard work, he admits, but the rewards are
many: being a good friend, being glamorous and attractive,
and being a success— much like Tim himself! He is never
one to mince words. But Tim Gunn is always warm, witty,
wise, and wonderfully supportive— just the mentor you need
to design a happy, creative, and fulfilling life that will
never go out of style.
