'TIM GUNN'S GUIDE TO STYLE' REDEFINES 'MAKEOVER' AND TAKES THE FASHION
CHALLENGED THROUGH A STYLE TRANSFORMATION
New Series Premieres Thursday, September 6 At 10 PM ET/PT
LOS ANGELES – July 15, 2007 – Your Style. Tim's Rules. There's only
one man that any woman would welcome into her closet…Tim Gunn. And he's
diving into closets everywhere in the one-hour, eight-episode series
"Tim Gunn's Guide to Style" premiering on Thursday, September 6
at 10 PM ET/PT. With tough-love, guidance, and former model and fashion
accomplice Veronica Webb at his side, Gunn leads fashion-challenged women
on an emotional journey to unearth their personal style. From wardrobe
essentials, tips on how to shop, to finding the right fit, Gunn uses
advice from his book, Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality Taste and Style, to arm
each woman with the basics to own her look and make it polished and
stunning.
"I want every woman to achieve her style zenith," said Gunn.
"Looking good takes hard work and commitment, but this series makes
it fun. Each of the women I worked with discovered their own signature
look, with a little coaching. My hope is that we'll inspire others to
achieve their own stylish identities."
"If anyone can redefine the meaning of 'makeover,' it's Tim
Gunn," said Berwick. "This series is unique and relatable.
Viewers will learn from Tim and Veronica as they usher women with serious
fashion issues through transformations – both inside and out –
resulting in a renewed confidence and a personal style that they
personally believe in."
In each episode of "Tim Gunn's Guide to Style," Gunn uses his
unmatched counseling skills, to turn the fashion weary into polished
individuals. While Gunn focuses on the big picture of each subject's
transformation, Webb guides the women through shopping the Tim Gunn way,
by steering their choices and listening to their concerns and offering
solutions. The series utilizes several tools to help a diverse set of
women make themselves over, including a list of various "fashion
icons" the subjects pick from to determine who inspires their style
– be it Jackie O., Angelina Jolie or Sarah Jessica Parker. Then, when
building their signature looks, the subjects use Gunn's "essential
shopping list," which includes 10 basic pieces that no closet should
be without. Armed with Gunn's rules, each makeover subject is encouraged
to get a great pair of jeans, a trying task for any woman. After the
fashion is taken care of, Gunn calls on his friends and colleagues to put
the finishing touches on the women, including hair and make-up.
