Parents say: Not yet rated
Kids say: Not yet rated

From slouchy pants and ombre lips to the merits of painting your walls black, the series discusses the pros and cons of the latest and greatest trends to emerge each week. It also highlights the designs and products that are going out of style.

If you're looking for something that looks beyond the world of fashion, styling, and decorating, you won't find it here. But if this is what you like, you'll find the show both informative and educational.

  • Why do you think the hosts got this job? What kinds of skills do you need to host a fashion-TV show?

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
