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

Erinn is a 16-year-old high school student about to enter her senior year. At school, she's an 'A' student — but when it comes to fashion she's scoring below average because of her mismatched socks and clashing colors. In a What Not to Wear Back to School special, Stacy and Clinton teach this teenager how to build a wardrobe that will take her through her senior year and into college. Erinn needs to dump the too-short shorts and skirts, and add a little bit more sophistication to reflect her hard work and accomplishments. As for her hair, Erinn prefers it out of the way as she pours over the books — so she always wears it tied back. But after a straightening treatment, hairstylist Nick Arrojo cuts it into a classy and yet easy-to-manage bob fit for a hip young scholar, and makeup artist Carmindy teaches Erinn how a little can go a long way — even in the every day setting of a high school classroom.
