not only do i find him thoughtful, insightful, and well-spoken, he continues to go above and beyond his role as a mentor and teacher to an "activist" (yes, i know, maybe a stretch) for those who are marginalized in his own industry.
last week, Gunn opened up to HuffPo about the dearth of well-designed plus-size fashion. i couldn't agree more with him, as a lover of fashion who has more around the middle than what can squeeze into a Marc Jacobs size 14 frock. PS: NOT A SIZE 14. while, like Gunn, i do not agree with vanity sizing (re-sizing products so that me, a 12-14, buys an 8 or 10) i can't help but agree that designers are really missing a huge chunk of the market by not catering to a larger audience.
read for yourself, here. this is truly someone who loves, lives, and breathes fashion - someone who understands the transformative nature of it, and what it can do for self-esteem.
