Tim Gunn Delivers a Message of Hope

In these trying economic times we'll take hope where we can get it.  But we're especially receptive when optimism comes from the Fairy Godfather of fashion.  

He's so wise . . .

Tim moderated a panel discussion called "Redefining the Rules of Fashion in Today's Economy."  He told attendees:

"These are very trying times, but we need to pull through this," Gunn said to a packed room of fashion students at the Directors Guild of America. "And I think we will. But I think it will be a different time." (nymag.com).

Zac Posen, Mary Alice Stephenson, fit model Josh Button, Alex Gonzalez of ad agency AR New York, Macy's senior vice-president Les Steiger, and CEO of HSN Mindy Grossman were part of the discussion as well.  All of the speakers delivered Obama-esque messages of hope, change, adaptation, and innovation within the fashion industry.  

Apparently, the kids left the panel uplifted and ready to make it work.  Yes we can.
