Grant Whittaker / Co-Founder & Personal Stylist
As the man behind Grant Whittaker Style, a fashion consulting and production company, Grant wears many hats—literally and figuratively. He seamlessly harnesses his unique background and experience in fashion, beauty, dance, runway, entertainment, the arts, and agency work to make all he touches exciting, creative, and strategic. Originally from Germany, Grant arrived in Minneapolis twenty years ago and continues to share his global approach to fashion, wealth of style knowledge, and European flair through all of his work and collaborations. A sought-after local style expert, Grant is respected by his industry peers for this ability to mix and juxtapose the high and the low, the couture and the consignment. Grant knows how (and when) to push the envelope, as well as when to keep a look restrained, he listens to the needs of his clients and what each wants to accomplish. He also respects the human form in all its beautiful shapes, sizes, and nuances.
Grant is well-known in the fashion, style, retail, and media circles having worked for and with such market leaders as Galleria, Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, myTalk107.1, Twin Cities Live, and more in such roles as style editor, fashion show producer, spokesperson, trend correspondent, and on-air personality. Grant’s work has also contributed to the success of high-profile fashion events Ready or Hot, Art & Bloom, and Fashionopolis.
When not immersed in making the style community stronger, Grant serves as vice president of creative development at Freestyle Productions.
