Oh, Tim Gunn is so wise! From his times telling us to “make it work” to his inspiring It Gets Better video, Tim has always been so much more than just a fashion guru. The former chief creative officer for Liz Claiborne recently wrote candidly about how the fashion industry has systematically ignored plus-size women.

Tim continues to explain that while he’s approached many designers about the topic, they continue to turn their noses up and tell him that women will not look the way they should in their clothes.


Truth! Why shouldn’t all women be able to dress how they want instead of being limited to only a few options?

We love that Tim is speaking so freely on this topic! He even goes so far as to exclaim that Project Runway, for which he’s been a show mentor since the beginning, has “not been a leader” on this issue. Ouch! But so true. Project Runway rarely has challenges in which they must dress curvy women and even when they do, that’s usually the so-called “challenge” in itself. That should just be apart of their regular routine!

He ends by initiating a challenge to all the designers out there: “Designers, make it work!”
