When you imagine Mr. T giving fashion advice to his fans, you might expect results that are campy and funny. And you'd be totally correct! But really, if you think about it, Mr. T — with his 60 lbs. of chains, overalls and political hair—is totally a style icon and hero to many. In the video clip above from the early '80s, T points that designers like Calvin Klein, Bill Blass, and Gloria Vanderbilt would never wear clothes with your name on them, so everyone should strive for their own, unique look and "leave the label on the table!"
