So Money with Farnoosh Torabi

612: Tim Gunn, Project Runway Mentor

Aug. 14, 2017

Ladies and gentleman, this episode will forever be an absolute dream come true for me. The day that we had the Emmy Award-winning co-host of Lifetime’s mega-hit show Project Runway Tim Gunn.

Tim is fashion royalty and he’s had a long lasting career as a mentor and educator with roles like  Chair of the Department of Fashion Design at Parsons School of Design, Fashion Dean at Fifth & Pacific and Chief Creative Director at Liz Claiborne Inc. He’s also a New York Times best-selling author.

Takeaways from our time together:

How Tim didn’t get paid when Project Runway first launched (season 1 AND 2). Nada. Zilch.His So Money moment after years of living paycheck to paycheck as a “pauper educator,” he describes.Receiving a $50,000 inheritance in the 1990s and how he used it strategically.Fun Fact: Tim and I actually used to live in the same apartment building together (though I was always too shy to say Hello. I blame my yoga pants.)
