New Delhi, July 4, 2013: Straight-talking style gurus of TLC?s WHAT NOT TO WEAR, Trinny Woodall & Susannah Constantine, have just 12 hours to turn 20 ordinary women into glamourous runway models. TLC, India?s favourite lifestyle channel, presents the style experts in the new makeover series ? TRINNY & SUSANNAH?S AUSTRALIAN MAKEOVER MISSION. The two renowned stylists who are also fashion journalists and designers travel to the land down under better known as Australia to do what they do best ? turning hapless fashion failures into unexpected fashionistas with their signature style of makeover interventions.
A five-part series, TRINNY & SUSANNAH?S AUSTRALIAN MAKEOVER MISSION premieres every Saturday at 9pm starting July 13 only on TLC.
Every episode of TRINNY & SUSANNAH?S AUSTRALIAN MAKEOVER MISSION is set in a different Australian city ? Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Parramatta, Brisbane and Newcastle ? where the hosts roam the streets looking for women who could be beautiful and confident, but aren?t. With the help of their professional makeover team including a hairdresser, make-up artist, two seamstresses and a photographer, Trinny and Susannah bring about dramatic transformations by showing the Australian women how to dress for their body types and inject their own personal style. Reinvigorated by their new-found beauty and confidence, these women are ready to strut their stuff on a catwalk in front of an audience of family and friends.
It?s a once in a lifetime opportunity for most of the women in the show, but there?s a catch ? the ladies must commit to a blind makeover. Every mirror is removed and their new look is kept top secret until they face their brand new image on the catwalk at the end of the day. Tears and tantrums turn into excitement and ecstatic disbelief as these radical transformations arm them with confidence and a deserving moral boost.
Every city is a new challenge and every group of women they meet is unique. Follow Trinny and Susannah on their quest to educate, motivate and inspire women all around the world in the following episodes of TRINNY & SUSANNAH?S AUSTRALIAN MAKEOVER MISSION:
Sydney
Trinny and Susannah head south to the heartland of Sydney?s beach culture. In the Sutherland Shire, if you?re not swimming, surfing or jogging, you?re dressed like you?re about to. With beach casual at a new low, Trinny and Susannah scour the beach, the streets and the local RSL (Returned and Services League) for fashion failures. If the Shire ladies aren?t dressing down they?re covering up and some are making fashion statements that are better left unsaid. Standouts include a busty babe bashful about her best assets, a middle-aged mum ageing before her time and a mother of three taking the next step after losing her husband. Plus, Trinny and Susannah get tough with two of the participants who think they have all of the answers. The Shire is tough turf but Trinny and Susannah are up for the challenge.
Canberra
Trinny and Susannah hunt down crimes of fashion in Australia?s capital. With just 12 hours to restyle, revamp and redeem, they must find the most deserving women desperately in need of their help. In Canberra they find corporate ladies and bureaucrats who?ve lost all sense of their femininity and sporty mums whose get-ups are nothing short of tracksuit train wrecks. Along the way they meet a weight loss victor starting from scratch, a prison officer robbed of her femininity and a 44-year-old mum whose transformation is so shocking she?s afraid her kids won?t recognise her. Plus, tough love Trinny is brought to tears after meeting a woman whose confidence is rocked following years in an abusive marriage. The makeover is tough going for some, but at the catwalk show they shine and their friends and families are in shock at the radical transformations.
Melbourne
In Melbourne, Trinny and Susannah scour the city to see if its reputation as Australia?s fashion hotspot is spot on. By train, tram or platform heel, they stop at nothing to find fashion failures and uncover Melbourne?s shameful style sins. They find that ?Melbourne black? is out in force and isn?t necessarily a passport to chic. And like the other Aussie cities they?ve visited, when women feel down their style suffers along with their self-esteem. Joining their mission is a ?rock chick? mum petrified of losing her identity, a country girl who looks like a female version of Crocodile Dundee, a breast cancer survivor looking for a fresh start, a grandmother who hasn?t worn a dress in almost 40 years and a landscape gardener whose fluroscent yellow uniform makes her a beacon for bad taste.
Parramatta
Trinny and Susannah head west from Sydney along the river to Parramatta. As Trinny and Susannah seek out Ugg-boot wearing culprits, they uncover a group of women as diverse as the city itself. Self-esteem in Parramatta has hit rock bottom but Trinny and Susannah know the women of the West have what it takes to shine and start a style revolution. Among the Parramatta posse is a Peruvian-born beauty afraid to stand out, a recent divorcee who feels like a fish out of water, a petite plain Jane whose boyfriend critiques her style choices and a mum grieving from the loss of her daughter who has completely given up. The makeover mission in Parramatta is tough as emotions are on edge and one participant refuses to listen. Have Trinny and Susannah got what it takes to win over the West?
Brisbane
The Sunshine State?s capital is next on Trinny and Susannah?s tour of duty. It?s got glare, glitz and glamour and it?s definitely not afraid to show itself off. As they scope the city for makeover potential, Trinny and Susannah find women with it all on show; they don?t call it ?Brisvegas? for nothing! As they dig deeper, our makeover queens discover a worrying trend; if women aren?t getting it out, they?re giving up all together. Joining their mission is a sultry mum whose son thinks she should dress her age, a grandmother with a look stuck in the sixties, a young mum wearing her mother-in-law?s hand-me-downs and a former hippy who took off her bra in Nimbin over 30 years ago and has been going commando ever since.
Newcastle
Once the steel city, Newcastle has recently had a makeover of its own. The arts scene is buzzing, it?s a food and wine hotspot, but some of the ladies in this laidback, surf-side city have a style that screams small-town. Trinny and Susannah hit the streets in search of Newcastle?s daggiest duds and come up trumps with makeovers you?ve got to see to believe. Signing up for a 12 hour, tough love marathon is a bait and tackle shop owner whose waist-length hair gets the chop, a young mum whose husband?s wandering eye has left her self-esteem on the floor, a weight loss champ not celebrating her shape and a gym junkie whose sports gear has been hiding a hot bod.
