Production called me for an interview. I was very hesitant at first but eventually my late fiancé Jeff was the one that convinced me to do the show. Well in many ways, but mainly my anonymity being gone. The show has been seen by 400 million people worldwide and is in 144 different countries. So to say you can’t go anywhere without someone knowing who you are is an understatement. However the fans are the best and I feel so lucky to have such a great group of loyal fans.

I also enjoy a very close relationship with many of other housewives from Beverly Hills, New York, Atlanta, Jersey and Miami.”

Gretchen is very involved in humanitarian work. She created a pink fashion collection to support breast cancer charities of America. She also tries to support and help many animal organizations and children’s charities.

<a href="http://www.naludamagazine.com/gretchen-rossi-interview/">Gretchen is known for being a supporter of animal rights and explained to Naluda Magazine why she came out with a handbag collection made from vegan leather</a>, “My fans and my mission to produce high quality accessible fashion for the everyday women. Because Gretchen Christine is trying to do their little part in being more eco-friendly and also socially responsible. I myself am a huge animal lover and since a segment of our customer base was requesting the option of a vegan leather collection, it was an easy choice to make.

It took a full year to develop this collection because I was so particular with how I wanted the vegan leather to look, feel and perform. I sent samples of real leather bags to the factory and we went through many rounds of sampling different ingredients and fabrication processes before we found the perfect material, that looks and feels like real leather. The new technology being develop in the manufacturing process is quite extraordinary. This collection contains materials that have no animal bi-products, they have a similar strength and feel to real leather. Our material actually holds its structure better and doesn’t break down over time like real leather. This allows us to do so many more things when it comes to design. It’s the perfect blend of durability with flexibility. Everything around me inspires our designs, from a beautiful flower I see in nature, to the different cultures I explore during my travels, it can be the architecture of a building, or a unique textile…I pull inspiration from all these things.

I can appreciate all the trends that come and go because with most of design, its history. That history drives inspiration and innovation, but to be honest, I have never been a fan of the tie die look.”

She is a hardworking woman and the dedication she has to her work has helped her to make over 3 million dollars to add to her net worth. She receive a salary of 375,000 dollars for every episode of The Real Housewives of the Orange County. There were rumors that she was planning to start a music career. She got a chance to perform with The Pussy Cat Dolls in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood Resort.

<a href="http://www.naludamagazine.com/gretchen-rossi-interview/">She described a typical day in her life to Naluda Magazine</a>, “Up around 8am- coffee, play with my dogs, get ready for work while listening to my daily devotional, head to my office in OC or my showroom /warehouse in LA for the day. Workout at Stark Irvine around 4pm for an hour. Head home to walk the dogs (we have 3), cook dinner and the catch up on any work I missed that day. I unwind with a book, a cup of tea, and a good fire. Then time for bed around 11pm.”
