He is a recognized stylist with his own definition of style.
Though he admires designers like Martin Margiela and Veronique Branquino, and the Row and Public School, but he never copies the designs of others. When asked who taught him about style, he answered “Nobody”. He further added that style is something that cannot be taught to anyone, although he takes inspiration from everywhere, including flea markets in London, city streets and old movies. The fashion house which never fails to impress him is PRADA.
Tim Bitici follows his own rules of dressing. He says,” never over-accessorize yourself and make sure that you don’t look like as if wearing a "hipster" Halloween costume.” The biggest mistake one can make while getting dressed is copying trends literally and not dressing according to the body type. He is a style icon and is often asked about fashion tips. He advises to wear what is comfortable, as comfort is not an enemy of style. His favorite fabric is cashmere.
He says that his approach to style is defined by a Stephen Meisel grunge story in the 90's for Vogue. It was styled by Grace Coddington and featured models Kristen McMenamy and Naomi Campbell. It was so long ago that Marc Jacobs was still a designer for Perry Ellis and his clothes were featured in this story as well. This particular shoot made Tim want to be a stylist more than ever.
