It’s horrifying. Whoever’s designing for plus-size doesn’t get it. The entire garment needs to be reconceived. You can’t just take a size 8 and make it larger. In my travels, I’ve been an advocate for larger women. I’ve been talking to designers, but only a half-dozen make an effort. Most say, ‘I don’t want a woman who’s a size 10 or 11 wearing my clothes.’ Well, shame on you! It’s not realisticLove him.“You can’t just take a size 8 and make it larger.”Praise Jesus and all the saints for him saying this because damn, most “PLUS SIZED” clothing is fugly.Amen. The plus sized clothing out there is crazy and makes me just…I’m not surprised he said this. Ever since the first season, when they’ve had to do garments for everyday people who aren’t models, there’s always one designer (at the very least) who flips out as though they’ve never in their life considered that people who aren’t a size 0 might wear their clothes. Tim always looks at them like he wants to drown them in a lake.I love Tim Gunn so much and this is just one of the reasons. The other is that he is asexual and has copped a lot of flack for it in the media but he isn’t ashamed of what he is/is completely happy with who is. Next to Diane Von Furstenberg, he is one of my favourite people in the fashion industry.My mom got to take a class taught by him and I AM FOREVER JEALOUS.What a cool guyI DID NOT KNOW TIM GUNN WAS ASEXUALTHIS IS SO WONDERFULIM GONNA CRYWELCOME MY ACE BRETHRENWe do not, as a world, deserve the goodness that is Tim Gunn. My mom (a large woman in her late-fifties at the time) met him at a lecture and he spent several minutes complimenting her dress (which she made herself) and discussing why she’d had to start making ALL her own clothes (could no longer find nice, pretty things in her size) and then laughing over being the oldest people in the room (since it was a university lecture largely attended by students). My mom hasn’t felt good about her weight in years, but Tim Gunn made her proud of knowing how to dress for her shape and her taste in fabric patterns. According to my brother who witnessed all this, she was beaming.I would die on a battlefield for Tim Gunn.Just confirmed the ace thing, I hadn’t heard about it but it looks like he came out in an interview!Oh shit re blogging for ace role model!I love project runway and I love Tim Gunn -- source link
