Fashion Guru Tim Gunn Skirts Dangerously Close To Word 'Mannish' In Describing Sen. Clinton
Ah, no one says it like Tim Gunn, revered style swami and champion of dandy diplomacy, who can tell you everything you need to know about the dumpy hunchbackwear you've got on with nothing more than a fist pressed to his lips and a deep furrowing of his Sharpei-like brow. If anyone can get away with skewering the sartorial challenges facing our past and present leaders, it is he. Appearing on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Gun was utterly unwowed by what was going on below President Bush's ankles: Taken separately, a pair of black Crocs and Air Force One socks might work, but there was virtually no excuse for wearing the two together (short of perhaps currying favor with the German Chancellor at the next G7 Summit).
Even more shocking, however, is Gunn's frank disparagement of Hillary Clinton's personal style, which he suggests is probably better suited for a Secret Service agent nearing retirement. Siding with the impossibly pretty John Edwards that she would be best to throw her infamous pink jacket onto a small mountain of calf-length power suits and set the pile ablaze, we still doubt Gunn was suggesting the Presidential hopeful is beyond salvation. On the contrary, all she really needs is to to be locked in a room with Christian for a few hours, upon which the Project Runway frontrunner would put his bionic tailoring skills to good use, giving her a 17-piece, high-concept Three Musketeers outfit that would all but certainly tip fence-sitters into her super, super, super chic camp.
