Tim Gunn Finds It 'Repugnant' That Designers Have 'Absolutely No Interest' in Designing Plus Size Clothing
Thanks to Project Runway, Tim Gunn kind of feels like the fashion industry's favorite uncle: Incredibly kind, not afraid to be honest with you when you need it, a cheerleader in the workroom with his famous catchphrase, "Make it work."

David Beckham Goes Shirtless in Fragrance Ad, Kate Middleton's Belly Shocks the Internet, and Abercrombie & Fitch in Trouble Again
