For now 11 seasons, fashion maestro Tim Gunn has served as “mentor” on the fashion competition show “Project Runway,” offering contestants sharp advice…and a shoulder to lean on. He was a longtime faculty member – and later fashion design chair – at “Parsons The New School for Design” in New York. His latest style guide is “Tim Gunn’s Fashion Bible: The Fascinating History of Everything in Your Closet” (out now). Tim warns us about the plague of cargo capris, then gracefully addresses listener questions about power(point) ties and ill-suited party wear.
