Tim Gunn, the well-known fashion consultant and television personality, brought his humorous content and impeccable sense of style to Emerson in Tuesday’s panel discussion exploring fashion in the professional world.

Gunn, who is known for mentoring aspiring designers on the popular television show “Project Runway” and co-hosting “Making the Cut” with Heidi Klum, spoke to dozens of students dressed to impress in the SPC Theater. The fashion icon sat in a plush purple armchair at the event hosted by the Department of Business of Creative Enterprises, dubbed “What Do I Wear?,” a demonstration of tips on how to dress in professional dress codes and how to remain inventive in business attire.
