Meet an Honestly Now Pro: Montgomery Frazier, "The Image Guru"
By HN News

We sat down with Honestly Now Fab50 Pro, Montgomery Frazier and asked him a few honest questions of our own. Get to know Monty, just one of the many amazing Pros on Honestly Now!

What do you do, and what are you known for?

I am an image expert. Well known in the entertainment, fashion, arts, society, performing arts, business, politics and the internet communities simply as Montgomery Frazier “The Image Guru”. What am I known for? Simply stated, I make things better by evolving the “look” of people, places and things. That encompasses many different professional “hats” from creative director, fashion & life-stylist, tastemaker, influencer, and commentator. I’m known for my common sense, my taste level and my vision & style innovation.

How did you land on your current career?

I really don’t know! Quite by accident I’d have to say, although I’ve always had an affinity for the movies of yester-year. But to be honest, I had absolutely no training to do what I do today, although I would have been a communications major, had I not dropped out of university. So I started off my career at The Hyatt Corporation in Phoenix Arizona, then on to New York where, because of my innovative fashion and stylish “look” I became entrenched in all aspects of fashion and entertainment. I assumed my first position as the Creative Director for the innovative design firm, Parachute, where I was fortunate enough to work with such musical legends as Madonna, Cher, Duran Duran, Peter Gabriel, etc. But I feel that my most well known and publicized stint was as the Fashion Director for MTV from1985-1993, where my muse was none other than the “MTV Icon” Downtown Julie Brown, whom I then followed to work with her as her Fashion Consultant for E! Entertainment TV and so on and so forth.

What’s the most uncomfortable honest truth you’ve ever delivered?

Ahh, there are so many. I try to be kind, but brutally honest, but with compassion for the truth. To list one is almost impossible for me. To tell a loved one that it’s over, maybe that’s on my top ten.

What’s next for you?

To take the message of Montgomery Frazier “The Image Guru” to a television audience…..maybe for Oprah’s Network!

What’s the ONE question someone should ask you on Honestly Now?

Do I have optimism for the future of mankind?
