Tim Gunn Gets His Own Show on Bravo
Perhaps the
sanest man in reality television, Tim Gunn - the gay chair of the
fashion design department at Parsons The New School for Design - has
become the breakout star of Bravo's hit Project Runway, thanks to
his sage advice and dry personality.
So it's no surprise that the cable network - which often seems to be
even gayer than Logo and Here! combined - is giving Gunn his very own
show.
Premiering
in July, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style will feature the
avuncular fashion guru helping everyday folks with their wardrobe
dilemmas and teaching them how to develop their own personal looks. (Gunn's
Guide will start up just as Bravo's venerable Queer Eye for the
Straight Guy goes off to the TV graveyard.)
If anyone can take the flagging makeover genre and "make it work," it's
Gunn.
