There seems to be no one more qualified or equipped to ponder or even, dare I say, dictate 'quality, taste, and style' than Tim." -Sarah Jessica Parker, actor/producer

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.

Now readers can benefit from Tim's considerable fashion wisdom in "Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste & Style," 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 "make it work!"

在节目中，他是时装设计参赛者们的艺术指导，他鼓励新的时装设计师竞逐登上纽约时装周的展示台，并提供设计上的智慧箴言。他总是穿着一袭合身的深色西装，举止谈吐散发绅士气质，他本身就是高格调、时尚和优雅的样板。他在节目中的口头禅是Make it work!(化腐朽为神奇！)和Carry on!(继续加油！) 也成为该节目的特色之一。

提姆·冈恩以对风格和时尚妆扮的独到品评而著称，在美国时尚评论界拥有非比寻常的发言权。《Advocate》杂志赞誉他是“电视节目中头脑最清楚的人”；《娱乐周刊》（Entertainment Weekly）则称他为“时尚界的重量级仲裁者”。因“决战时装伸展台”节目走红之后，美国Bravo电视频道于2007年为他开设个人节目“Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style”。
