Tim Gunn was in Atlanta on Saturday for the Lucky Brand Fashion Show at the Perimeter Mall.

Tim generously granted an interview to BPR before the show. Thanks Tim!


BPR: Any news on Season 10?

TG: Season 10 is a go!

BPR: Contract signed, sealed and delivered?

TG: We're working on it. You know that I will be with Project Runway until the very end.

BPR: So will we of course!

BPR: Tim, will you rank the season 9 finalists in the order that you believe they should have finished?

TG: Viktor, Kimberly, Josh, Anya

BPR: Was Kimberly your favorite?

TG: Kimberly and Anthony Ryan

BPR: Awww... I thought you liked Anthony Ryan...

We loved the "Tim Gunn Behind the Seams" program.

TG: Thank you. The audience for "Behind the Seams" pulled in 2 million more viewers than the Project Accessory lead-in.

BPR: It was really great. Where was Joshua?

TG: He had another commitment. I believe a speaking engagement.

BPR: Were you surprised that Josh came in second in the finale?

TG: Yes.

BPR: What is the status of "Tim Gunn's Fashion Bible?"

TG: We have finished writing it, but there is still more work to do. It is scheduled for release in September 2012.

BPR: How long is it?

TG: It's 85,000 words. I'm not sure how many pages it will be.

BPR: Are there illustrations?

TG: Mostly photos, unless we couldn't find a photo of what we needed.

BPR: Tim, please describe what "The Revolution" Show is about.

TG: "The Revolution" follows a woman's five-month journey in five days. We cover an amalgam of issues - health, fitness, relationships, style, (personal fashion and home.) There are experts in various fields who assist each woman in her journey.

BPR: And you are the style expert.

TG: Yes.

BPR: Are you on every episode, every day?

TG: We haven't filmed all of the days yet. I'm not sure how it will be put together.

BPR: Is there a studio audience?

TG: Yes

BPR: Tim, you are always so busy!

TG: I'm the luckiest guy in the world!
