Overview

Friends and family members nominate a candidate that they consider poorly dressed and ask the show to make over the "fashion victim." Fashion Police Stacy London and her partner ambush the candidate and make them an offer-- they are given a $5000.00 budget for a new wardrobe, which they must purchase in New York City boutiques over the course of two days, but only on the condition that they allow Stacy & her partner to critique, and in most cases throw out, their existing wardrobe.

Overview

Niya Battle shows too much flesh according to her Mom, her aunt and her friends, but with her hip-skimming jeans and her bare midriff tops, she thinks she looks just fine. Stacy London and Clinton Kelly need to persuade this 24-year-old mother of two that halter-neck dresses and high heels are not appropriate attire for her job in an insurance office or for shopping at the grocery store. Their challenge is to teach her to dress professionally, while retaining her youth and individuality. Hairstylist Nick Arrojo has to tackle Niya's extensions, which make her hair look long but shapeless, and makeup artist Carmindy has to convince Niya to dump the metallic lip gloss and develop a softer, more approachable look.
