In each episode of this show, a heterosexual male with special living habits and less emphasis on appearance (ie "Straight Guy") will be found on the show, and the show host "Fab 5" will guide the dressing and suggest styling. The Fab 5 includes Bobby Berk for design, Karamo Brown for fashion culture, Antoni Porowski for food and wine, Jonathan Van Ness for beauty and Tan France for fashion specialists.
It can be seen from the above consultant collocation that this is not a simple modeling or home renovation program, but a process of communicating with the guests about their inner state, understanding their needs, and then gradually improving from five aspects.
So, the theme of the show is "accepted". Guests need to open their hearts to accept their possibility of becoming a better version of themselves, and then they can communicate and understand the imprisoned obstacles in their hearts (maybe they have been confined to their single world for too long, or they may have been trapped in the shadow of the passing of their father. , may be the guilt of carrying the burden of supporting the family, may be the inner insecurity in a foreign land, etc.). Then the five-person group acted together, actively encouraging them to try to cross the comfort zone on the premise of the current economic and aesthetic ability, and finally let the guests let go and decide what they really want.
Watching such a program is not only to feel the joy of the guests' makeovers, but more importantly, to feel the comfort of that kind of life with heart. Can't help but think of the Amway 5 here:
Bobby Berk of Interior Design
Bobby is an interior designer who is very personal and takes into account the needs of the guests. Interior design work is very important to the effect of the program, but it is often limited by space and hidden from others. Comparing the photos before and after the show, I often admire Bobby's grasp of the color and style of the space, including the dark floor and white cabinets to guide the eye above, the bookshelf connected to the ceiling will increase the visual height, and the photo wall, the owner's spread The placement of the murals creates the style of family and self. In short, it is a very good reference for decoration.
Karamo Brown, who teaches fashion culture,
Karamo is a very empathetic and very gentle and elegant black brother. His role is actually very critical. He discovers the psychological barriers of the guests through communication, and then uses a series of activities to break their closed layers and make them more outgoing and social.
The most impressive thing is the confrontation between the two skin colors in the United States between him and the white policeman in the second episode, which cleared up misunderstandings. This open sharing experience adds depth to the show.
Antoni Porowski
Antonio, who taught food and wine, is a very handsome and gentle man. He is good at providing simple and effective food and wine advice on the limited culinary level of the guests.
The program is not simply to provide food suggestions, but to deepen the interaction of friends and family by making food, or as a reward for themselves, so that guests can understand that it is also very important to let themselves and those around them feel full and happy by enjoying food. .
In the seventh episode, there is some discussion about wine that is worth recalling. Drinking is not only about the taste, but also the history, culture and heritage behind it. A mature man should work hard to develop his own drinking style and explore the drinking culture behind it.
Beauty's Jonathan Van Ness
Jonathan is the most naughty, sultry, and most active long-haired handsome man among the five. She's a bit noisy, but that's understandably his forte. He likes to constantly praise the gentle and lovely details of the guests, so that they can improve their self-confidence in the praise and no longer dodge their inferiority complex.
Beauty on the show includes not just hairstyles, but also skin care. Moreover, the product recommendations are simplified based on the original living habits of the guests, which will not increase the burden on straight men, which is very considerate.
Tan France Tan, an expert in fashion professional dressing,
is also a very friendly gentleman. Appropriate clothing is a very important aspect of transformation. In fact, it does not reflect how to dress like a successful person, but to find a balance between work and self-style, and it must be in line with the level of economic conditions.
I really like Tam's saying "I'm dismissive of so-called 'fashion', which is what you throw away after a season. My style is to let everyone find their own style and let them Be comfortable, confident, and love yourself more. It also makes their loved ones feel their efforts." This sentence made me understand the meaning of dressing more, it not only reflects my own style and suits the scene, but more importantly, it is a The self-confidence that comes with a clean and tidy appearance, as well as the respect for those around you.
In conclusion, I think maybe many people who embrace learning to dress will end up falling in love with this show because of the warmth and inspiring power it embodies, as well as the openness to accept new possibilities for themselves. This is the power that makes people laugh and cry the most.
