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

Alisha is studying to be an interior designer, but when it comes to designing her own exterior, this 25-year-old mom doesn't know where to begin. As the youngest child with four older brothers, she grew up wanting to dress just like them. And now that she's married, she wears her husband's jeans and oversized t-shirts. Stacy and Clinton want to get Alisha to see that the baggy shapeless men's clothing she wears doesn't disguise the parts of her she wants to hide — in fact, her style makes her look bigger. They need to show her how tailored and well-fitting women's clothes will do a whole lot more for her. Hairstylist Nick Arrojo tackles Alisha's long and lank hair to give her a style that will frame her face, while makeup artist Carmindy shows Alisha how to fill in her over-plucked eyebrows and wear just enough color to bring her face alive.
