Tim Gunn gets a bit down on Mario’s outfit

Let’s get the obvious out of the way here: if you don’t know who Tim Gunn is, he’s the fashion guy from Project Runway (that’s really doing a disservice to his many credits, but it’ll do). As such he knows a lot about fashion. For some reason he was hanging out with the guys from MTV Multiplayer, and during his time there he was asked to critique Mario’s overalls and work boots. You’ll have to head over there as Multiplayer has disabled embedding on the video.

Ever the gentleman, Gunn shies away from flat-out blasting Mario’s wardrobe choices, and decides to compliment them as functional. This of course assumes the fact that Mario does some actual plumbing, which I think it’s pretty safe to say he does not. I think we should give Mario a break here, especially since his outfit was designed more around the fact that Miyamoto needed a way to distinguish his body parts than a need to dress the plumber fashionably. One does have to wonder where Princess Peach would fall on Gunn’s fashion scale, considering the fact that that pink dress is neither functional or fashionable.
