The New School hosted this forum with the ‘dean of fashion’, former Parsons School of Design chair- turned-reality TV star Tim Gunn, which took place on Nov. 3, 2008. Watch now.

One of the hottest reality shows, Project Runway, introduced the world to the suave, kind, and unflappable Tim Gunn, former chair of the Fashion Design department at Parsons School of Design. Gunn discusses how the show became an overnight success. This consummate multi-tasker managed to show up every week as the star of two television shows, publish the dazzling Tim Gunn’s Guide to Quality, Taste and Style, and serve as Liz Claiborne’s innovative chief creative officer, all at the same time.

This event was moderated by Glamour Magazine’s Suze Yaluf Schwartz, executive fashion editor-at-large, and was co-sponsored by the Center for Communication and the Department of Media Studies and Film at The New School.
