Tim Gunn Calls Out Anna Wintour & Mizrahi in New Book

Tim Gunn’s book, “Gunn’s Golden Rules: Life’s Little Lessons For Making It Work,” has been receiving plenty of attention for his call-outs on Anna Wintour and Isaac Mizrahi.  When discussing Wintour, Gunn says “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."

Gunn himself says he hasn't had sex in decades and he considers himself a "gay role model"—"I wanted to say that, whether you’re gay or straight, you can live a celibate life and be perfectly satisfied and happy," he writes.

While the mild-mannered Project Runway "father-hen" usually reserves his critiques for the Brother sewing room in Parsons, he definitely let's it all out on paper.

Project Runway, The Wii Game

Can't get enough of Heidi, Tim, Nina and Michael?  Well, now you can take them home with you. Project Runway, the Wii video game, just dropped earlier this week. The game allows  users to select looks, hairstyles and makeup to win challenges in different categories. The video game versions of the celebrity judges say things like “Where was the glamour? Where was the vision?" But, I wonder if they have the "You're owt!"option?

Copy Wars: Did Kim Kardashian Knock Off Fendi?

While Tim Gunn may have said the 'Kardashian x Bebe' collection had an "absence of taste," it can't get much worse than being called a copycat. Kim's bebe collectiob looks awfully similar to a dress made by Fendi two seasons ago.

Here's what Kim had to say about it:

I've seen some talk online about certain pieces 'knocking off' other designer's pieces and I'd like to share a little piece of fashion wisdom… the clothes you see in the chain stores at your mall are all inspired by designer, runway fashion!!! What stores like Bebe do is take runway fashion and use it as inspiration to create pieces that are wearable and accessible for everyone. To say any of our pieces are a knock off is like saying every item in every clothing store in your mall is a knock off.

Um, ok?

Nicole Richie on "Project Runway"

 

Earlier this week I mentioned that Nicole Richie would be making a guest appearance on the 7th season of Project Runway. While one would hope that they'd give the first guest spot to a 'real designer'... I guess she's alright. After some digging around on on E! News, I found out season 7 was taped late summer '09- months before she gave birth to sparrow (that explains her half-human size). Anyhow- will you be celebrating the return of Project Runway to NYC? Let's pray that Nina & Michael Kors will be on the show more often.

Heidi Klum Is No Longer Mrs.Klum

The Project Runway Host is now... Heidi Samuel. On Friday afternoon, a judge approved Heidi's request to change her last name to Samuel (Seal Samuel? Who knew?)

I'm not sure if she'll choose to go with Samuel professionally, but something tells me we'll always know her as Klum.
