In Which Tim Gunn Discovers Stockings
Everyone’s favorite fashion mentor, Tim Gunn, just added more of his favorite fall shows to his fashion album. He gave Tracy Reese and Diane von Furstenberg “two big wows!” He loved Reese’s design sensibility and her hosiery and shoes. “When have I ever waxed poetic about a stocking? Never, until now!” And DVF’s collection was “drop-dead elegance.” Gunn was floored by the metallics and prints and pondered the question: “Can any designer be more divine?”
