Tim Gunn's New Book!

Wow I can't wait to get my hand on this! My favorite fashion guru will be releasing his new book titled: "Gunn's Golden Rules: Life's Little Lessons For Making It Work" and it will hit the shelves on September 7th!

And by the looks of this article it will be a best seller!

In a recent article with the NY Daily News Tim dishes about Anna Wintour, Isaac Mizrahi, Martha Stewart's daughter and some of the designers from Project Runway.

On Wintour:

"It’s insane that people don’t call her out on the things she does. Is it fear? I was certainly afraid of her. When her office called me, I thought I’d have to go into the witness protection program"

On Mizrahi:

"Oh, please, I was so kind to him. I mean, I wouldn't have the words to describe some of the more abhorrent behavior. He really is a terrible, terrible, terrible person."

Can't wait for the book!

Barbara Walters 2006 interview with Anna Wintour

Barbara Walters set down with Editor-in-Chief of American Vogue Anna Wintour to talk about fashion, "The Devil wears Prada" and her signature hair style.
As always Anna looks intriguing, powerful and fabolous.
I wish I would have 15 min of her time just to talk to her. One could learn so much from a woman like Anna Wintour.
