.
Targeting the 25-to-54 demographic, the show is slated for 26 episodes in its first season. Media planning was done by Toronto's Zig and executed through New York's Active Media. The show's premiere offers tips on eyebrow grooming, how to best fit a stiletto, and wearing the right accessories for your body type.
The goal of each episode is to re-style men and women facing fashion dilemmas, working with a $500 budget. In addition to the limited budget, the two have just a few hours to put the look together. The $500 budget was partly influenced by today's challenging economic times and the fact that few people have limitless funds for clothes. The final outfit, and how it suits the person they have made over, is then offered up for appraisal by an expert from the fashion world. The judges include Kim Newport-Mimran of Pink Tartan, Flare editor-in-chief Lisa Tant, and Brian Hill, president and CEO of Aritzia.
The show also includes product reviews, how-to's, and tips for both budget- and style-conscious consumers.
