In a recent interview with Bonnie Hunt, the dapper Tim Gunn noted that he and sidekick Gretchen Monahan of “Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style” on Bravo delight in showing how to be fashionable and stylish on a budget.

“I’ve seen more fashion mistakes made by people with deep pockets,” revealed Gunn.  “If you buy quality, you’re buying a difference in textiles.  With each price point the garment has a matching textile, and the better made quality shows.  In a down economy clothing maintenance is key.  Take care of your clothing.”

A walking style icon, Tim Gunn enjoys working with Gretta of Grettacole Salon and Grettaluxe because they are both drawn to a certain polish.

“When you put on your outfit, you have to feel good in it.  Wear your clothes with self confidence, not delusion,” Gunn recommended.  “Reflect upon it!”

Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style enables women to dress with a certain elegance and style.

Tim and Gretta work with each client with a signature respect and intelligence.  And they approach their audience with the same mandate.

“I really appreciate how you relate to the audience,”  gushed TV host Bonnie Hunt to Gunn.  “You and Gretta treat everyone at the “top” of their intelligence, and I’m just intoxicated… watching you both!”

When asked if his fashion sense developed at an early age, Gunn revealed that as a young child he took his toy soldiers and designed hats and coats for the medieval figures who came with a castle.  Gunn also fashioned interiors for the castle.

Laughed Hunt, “You must have had the smartest castle in town!”

Even back then, Tim Gunn knew the importance of, “Make It Work!”

Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style can be seen on the Bravo network.  Check your TV listings for times.

In Style…In Wellesley…John Prescott’s The MetWest Scene

Headwear svengali Laura Kranitz is highlighted on “In Style” Magazine’s Stylelist.

Laura Kranitz Headpieces

Her exotic headpieces are known for their beauty and attention grabbing components.

Kranitz has expanded into ravishing jewelery design, but dramatic headwear will always be her “first” love.

If you want to catch these beauties in person, Grettaluxe has been known to sometimes offer these glamorous tributes to the fashionable retro era in their Wellesley boutique.

And don’t forget to catch tres chic Gretta Monahan, owner of Grettaluxe and Grettacole, on Bravo’s Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style, every Thursday at 10 pm on the Bravo network.

The first show was just soso, but watching the opinionated, sometimes nasty subjects in need of a Gunn & Gretta style makeover, square off against the debonair Tim Gunn and the feisty Gretta Monahan can be fun entertainment.

Word to Gretta…let your personality come through more!  Together you and Tim are a hoot!
