Big Disappointment...Guide to Style
So nice to see that someone agrees with my assessment of Tim Gunn's new TV show, Guide to Style. Over the past week I saw two episodes and I thought it was clear that they were unsuccessfully trying to recreate What Not to Wear. A show that I am quite fond of....
Things I didn't like... the use of a "life coach". They didn't force more clothes to be thrown out. The inclusion of a cheesy celebrity designer cameo to give the fashion victim an outfit... and one of them was a designer that was part of Project Runway (season three when they went to France). Also, they made the person strut back and forth in each outfit too much.... AND, the top 10 list of items that someone needs isn't adjusted for each person. How is a trenchcoat a must have? Coat, of course... the list was too constricting.
Gunn often sounded like he had a stick up his ass. "I just don't know about this" was a phrase he kept using that just wasn't working --- I miss the Tim Gunn of Project Runway - "Make it Work!"
Hands down, What Not to Wear is better.
