Who are the stylists on You Are What You Wear? - Meet the five fashionistas who'll be joining Rylan
These fashion gurus will be working their magic on Rylan Clark-Neal's brand new makeover show
It's a first world problem, but wouldn't it be nice to have someone wave a magic wand and overhaul your wardrobe? Especially right now when we haven't had chance to go to the shops for months, all of our jeans are too tight and we're bored from only having ourselves to look at.
Thankfully Rylan Clark-Neal is on hand with some fashion relief. Brand new BBC makeover show, You Are What You Wear, starts tonight and he's promising to help those "stuck in a style rut" (i.e. all of us) to transform our looks. We are totally in.
The feel good series sees Rylan guiding his guests through a ‘department store of dreams’, helping them boost their self-confidence through the clothes that they wear.
Rylan admits he might not be the best person to dish out the advice, thanks to his strict policy of wearing only black skinny jeans and a dark shirt, so he has enlisted five fabulous stylists to help him. They all have very different styles and personalities, and will be matched up with the right contributors so that they can make the maximum impact on their style and mood.
So, who are the stylists who will be joining Rylan?
