The Unique Boutique – Tonight at 10pm on Channel 4
We’ve come a long way from the body-shaming makeover shows of the 00s. Instead of telling people how to dress, the hosts of this joyful new series are inviting individuals who are not catered to by the mainstream fashion industry into their boutique to ask them what they want from their clothing. For example, Emma-Jane, who is attending an event, is in search of a stunning yet wheelchair-friendly dress. Stylist Victoria, model Triple Minor, body confidence coach Natalie, and celebrity stylist David are dedicated to creating what they call “dopamine dressing”. The results are not only tear-jerking but also incredibly uplifting.
