02x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

I'm Vicky Pattison.

Step into my preloved

fashion pop-up

Welcome to your wardrobe.

..with a very select guest list

I'm ready!

..of people embarking on

a new life chapter

My manniversary is coming up.

..and in search of a new style

to match.

I want to look poppin'.

That's definitely giving me vibes.

We've tasked two of

the UK's fiercest stylists

Shade! Steamed up, ready to go.

..to give them a fresh look,

using only preloved fashion.

Shall we try some things on, I'm

really excited. Follow me.

Here we go.

But brutal twist

No!

..each guest can only choose one

stylist's collection to keep.

You looked great in everything.

But the decision is not mine,

it's yours.

It's going to be a close one.

I think it is.

Joey, Sabrina. I don't know.

Coming up,

a headstrong lady, with a special

birthday to celebrate,

I want to look in the mirror

and think, "Damn!"

..and a rock star student who needs

to dress for her onstage persona.

Very Dolly Parton that, Joey.

You'll be going nine-to-five

to college!

This, is Second-Hand Showdown.

Meet Julie

Are you hard to please?

I tend to enjoy pleasing

other people.

That sounds great, doesn't it?

..a 59-year-old Senior Cruise Ship

Officer from Worthing who needs help

with her off-duty dress sense.

Life at sea is absolutely amazing.

Of course it makes it difficult

then when I come home.

Julie wears and lives in a uniform

for eight months of the year

when she's at sea, working on

the cruise ships.

So she struggles knowing how

to dress at home.

She's a girl that really knows her

own mind,

but with the big 6-0 looming,

I'd love to see her looking

and feeling fabulous.

Recently,

I lost over four and a half stone,

and that's why I wanted

to come on the programme

to see if I could find a new me.

To make way for Julie's

preloved look,

what she doesn't know is we've

prepped some of her clothes

to sell online.

Hello!

Oh, my God! Is that my clothes?

You should know.

How are you doing, love?

I'm all right, thanks. How are you?

Not bad, not bad.

Welcome to your wardrobe, Julie.

My ex-wardrobe. I mean,

it's just not me any more.

But it will be somebody else.

And that's the beauty of preloved.

I'm seeing a pattern,

with my clothing, aren't you?

What's your pattern?

Come on, talk to us about this

Safe. Safe.

Even though I don't mean to,

often I'll buy an outfit that

actually resembles my uniform.

I'm just looking at what

I'm wearing today.

Navy, stripes on the sleeve,

just like my uniform.

Just can't get away from it.

It's like a subconscious

sailor vibe, isn't it? Yeah, I think

you're right.

But, no, we have two fantastic

stylists,

so what is it you're hoping they

pull for you?

I want to look in the mirror

and think, "Damn! You don't look

bad for 60!"

Is there anything that, if they

pulled for you,

it would be an absolute no?

Oh, I don't want to look tarty.

STYLUS RIPS

Just not like a big slapper.

Yeah.

That's how I feel most days

when I wake up,

just don't look like

a slapper today.

OK, I'm really excited.

Shall we go and meet our stylists?

Can't wait! Come on then. Let's go.

Um, OK, so your boat goes to where?

And can I come on it?

Yeah, you can come any time.

Here we go.

It's time to introduce our

two preloved fashion pros,

Sabrina Grant and Joey Bevan.

With a client list between them

that includes Sam Smith,

Lady Gaga and even Beyonce,

they really are at the top

of their game.

Mind your step there, guys,

I've just dropped

a lot of names there.

Getting dressed in the morning is,

like, my favourite part of the day.

It's all about a feeling.

How do I want to feel today?

I do a little bit

of dopamine dressing.

People describe me as

the Jamie Oliver of fashion.

So I put together

all the ingredients,

and I create the final masterpiece.

Chhhhhh!

Thanks, Jamie. I mean, Joey.

God, it is uncanny, isn't it?

With the estimated value

of Julie's own clothes,

Joey and Sabrina will each use

the same amount to buy

a collection of preloved pieces.

I think Julie's fashion sense

has got

a little bit lost at sea,

and I want to make sure that

she's the captain of her own ship.

Julie wears the same uniform

for eight months of the year,

so I'm going to give her a fun,

clashing print, capsule wardrobe

that she can wear

on the four months that she's off.

But Julie can only take

one stylist's collection home,

so it's less of

a friendly fashion rivalry,

and more of a "do whatever it takes

to win" deathmatch.

Now, I'm sure you've noticed we have

definitive battle lines

because there can only be

one winner.

Oh, no pressure, then.

Loads of pressure. Loads of

pressure!

Yeah. They do take it

very seriously, Julie.

I have this trusty little

coin to find out who goes first.

Come on. Let's do it.

Who do you think it is?

It's me. It's you. Yeah. Let's have

a look.

It's Sabrina!

Ah-ha-hah!

Damn!

Sabrina will show Julie

three outfits before she picks two

to try on.

Meanwhile, all Joey can do is

sit back,

and watch his fashion nemesis strut

her stuff.

OK, I've got this gorgeous wrap

dress.

OK. Black with spots on it.

Like the wrap. Yep. Love

the sleeves.

I always get a bit nervous about

showing the bottom of my legs.

Julie's had a big image overhaul.

Yeah.

So I think, as long as we're

holding your hand throughout this

process Exactly.

..and, hopefully, I think we could

have some real success.

This is gorgeous. OK. I love that.

I've got a pair of sort

of soft wide leg trousers.

Yeah, that's nice.

And you could layer that up

Yeah, I like that. ..with this

gorgeous top, OK. Very nice.

So, you know,

for us curvier girls clothing that,

you know draws attention

to different places.

And black is just always chic

and effortless. Yeah.

Now, Julie, your 60th is coming up.

I've got your birthday dress.

Oh! Ohh-whoo-ohh-whoo!

Here she is, darling.

This is kind of like a cape-y dress.

You can bring the belt

and just have it at the front,

so the back's a bit more loose,

and it gives you a bit more room

to move about. Lovely, gorgeous

It's a real grown-up dress, isn't

it? ..puff sleeves.

And, obviously, the outfit wouldn't

be finished without a lovely jacket.

I honestly think you're going to

look gorgeous in that purply dress.

Yeah. I can't wait to see you in it.

Shall give it a try?

Yeah, absolutely.

Let's give it a try.

Me mam always said I had

a very persuasive charm.

Julie must now choose just one other

outfit to try on.

I'm so drawn towards

the black outfit.

There you go, we've done it. Ahhh!

Go on, then, girl. Behind there. I'm

going round.

Ohhhhh!

I'm nervous.

Are you ready, Julie?

Ahhh!

Oh, look at you!

Look in the mirror.

At first glance, how you feeling?

Yeah, I like it. Yeah.

I would never think

of choosing something like this. No.

It's a bit plain, though.

It's not plain.

There's nothing plain about black,

you know.

Plain Jane. We're going to dress

it up.

I would go loads of gold jewellery,

but I am really excited

to see you in some colour.

Let's get you into the second look,

the birthday outfit.

Ahhhh! Oh, my goodness me!

What do you reckon? I love it.

Julie!

JULIE TUTS AND SIGHS

I don't feel va-va-voom. You're not

feeling va-va-voom. No. All right.

Do you know what I might do?

I might just get in here now.

Ooh, Sabrina's got her own walk-in

wardrobe!

Show off!

Looking at that dress,

I would never think of wearing

a dress like it.

And it's not me 100%,

but there were parts of it that have

opened my eyes a little bit.

That's the whole thing about

preloved, isn't it? Yes.

Try something different. You tried

something different. You know.

And I think we should try

something different.

Are you ready to move on to Joey?

I am ready to move on.

OK. Thank you, Sabrina.

Thank you. Thank you. Bye, Julie.

She's a tough customer.

She is. She knows what she likes.

She's coming up to her 60th, and she

knows who she is, and I'm nervous.

I would not like to be you two.

With Julie back in her own clothes,

she's crossing the border.

Come on, girl.

I have to stay neutral,

but will Joey's collection have

the va-va-voom factor

Julie's after?

I think the stylists have got

their work cut out

because even I don't know what

I want.

Hi, Julie.

Hi.

So, I've gone for this amazing

Love that. ..polka dot blouse,

nice dark blue jeans.

And then, to team with that, I've

gone for this hot pink jacket

Wow! ..which just goes super.

Very different, isn't it?

Then, there's two options

for your up-and-coming birthday.

So, we've got this really nice

blouse. Different.

Really floaty, really elegant.

To team with that,

a nice simple wide-legged

black trousers.

But then I've got this

beautiful jacket.

Gorg'! That is nice.

So, it's elegant,

and this jacket will go

with all of the looks.

This is the dress that

I've got as an option for you.

Love everything about it.

Love the crossover.

How high does that come?

So it will come up to about

just here. OK.

But give it a go.

I am quite headstrong.

Um, very I'm actually

body-conscious,

self-conscious still.

So, yeah, I think I am quite,

quite a challenge.

Time for our Julie

to choose two outfits to try on.

And I'm keen as a bean

to see her choices.

Julie, do you want to come out.

Oh, do I? What do you think?

Ahhh! It looks amazing!

Love the colour.

Never would have imagined pink.

Love the polka dots, love the jeans.

The only thing I get concerned about

is the heels.

I'm not used to wearing heels.

It's just finding a heel that works.

OK. Should we get you into the

second outfit? Yeah, perfect. OK.

I think she looks great.

Unreal. Ooh!

Yeah. We can breathe.

Julie's certainly keeping

our stylists on their toes today,

even I'm feeling the pressure.

Oh, here she comes.

You literally look like you're going

to do a salsa dance, I love it.

Go on, stand there

and have a look at yourself.

The dress is lovely, actually, isn't

it? Yeah. It's beautiful, isn't it?

Let's try it on with the coat.

Here you go.

Love the coat.

I'd like to see this with the jeans

and the That we did earlier.

Yeah.

Coming up,

our radiant redhead has to choose

which stylist's collection she wants

to keep,

and which will go back online

for re-sale.

This is such a difficult decision.

Who do I pick?

And we meet a musician in need of

some fashion fine-tuning

before she starts uni.

Well, I'm really into, like,

Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac.

She looks bangin'! Look at this!

Earlier, Julie tried on two outfits

from Joey,

and two from Sabrina.

Now she must decide which collection

she's taking home

..and which one is heading

back online.

Trying on all the outfits,

I think I've found the one.

I can't wait to see which stylist's

collection she has chosen.

Come on, then, Julie.

Oh, my God!

Mate, this looks incredible,

doesn't it?

It's just so different

to what I usually wear.

Are we ready? Go on, then.

Let's do this. Oohhh!

Oooh, girl!

Ahhhh!

No, it's really lovely, I love it!

Oh, my gosh. Really pleased.

Birthday chic. Yeah!

How do you think Joey's

going to react.

He's going to love it.

Well, shall we go

and break the news to them now?

Yeah. Let's do it.

Come on, then, girl.

Little does Julie know

Well, hello, guys.

BOTH: Hello!

..that we've also assembled two

of her pals

to witness her birthday

transformation.

Nice to meet you.

And, as Julie's face never lies,

I can't wait to see her reaction.

I'm going to put you all out

of your misery

and bring her out in a second.

But before I do, are youse OK?

I'm good.

Yeah. Butterflies? Nervous ones?

Yeah, a little bit. A little bit.

Yeah.

So, she's got no idea that

youse are here.

I love surprises. I do, too. Do you?

I feel like the Geordie Cilla Black,

yeah.

I'm going to get her on.

Come on, Julie, come on out.

Come on, Julie. Come on.

Now, that's a meme waiting

to happen!

Ah-hahh!

Well?

Fabulous!

I love it.

Oh, she does look fantastic,

doesn't she?

Amazing. Yeah. Yeah.

They couldn't have got it better.

You look amazing,

and you chose me,

so I'm really happy.

Joey really got it right,

because Julie is so about vibrancy,

colour.

Yeah, he got it.

So not only do you get to take this

gorgeous outfit home Oh?

..you get to take the full capsule

collection that Joey pulled for you.

Aw! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

But we're not

going to leave it there.

I would like you to go out

and have some pre-birthday drinks

on us.

Aww!

The outfit's too nice

to just go home, man.

Can I take my girlies?

Absolutely1 Yeah!

Pre-loved fashion is quite new

to me.

I was a little bit nervous,

but it's been fantastic,

and I would definitely do it again.

Phew! I'm glad that one worked out.

Now onto the next visitor

to our preloved pop-up.

It's 18-year-old Polly,

from The Wirral.

Have you done TV before?

No, I think I'm just very witty.

So, Polly writes

and performs a lot of music,

and her styles become quite dark

and moody.

She's going to university

in September

to study popular music

and recording,

and we'd just like to send her off

with a style that really suits

her personality.

So, in September,

I'm going to Salford University.

I've just accepted my place

to study popular music

and recording.

So I'm just excited to start this

new journey

with a whole new wardrobe.

Hi! Hey! Are you OK?

Yeah. I'm good. Oh, my God!

What the hell?

I'm Vicky.

Nice to meet you, I'm Polly.

Nice to meet you, Polly.

Welcome to your wardrobes.

Oh, my God! That's weird!

Talk to us a little bit about

your style, mate.

Well, I'm really into, like, Stevie

Nicks and Fleetwood Mac.

Like, I'm in a blues rock band at

the moment.

I'm doing quite a few gigs with

my college.

So I just want more, like, brighter

clothes

that express me better,

because I don' think black expresses

me very well.

No. Yeah. You're young, you're fun,

you need your clothes to say all

that. Absolutely, yeah.

And I'm going to Malia for my first

girls' holiday, so Yeah.

..I'm terrified!

Don't be terrified. I've got

a feral friend.

Have you? So

In fact, I was the feral friend.

It is time to step into

the new, more mature, Polly.

absolutely. Yeah.

OK. Say your goodbyes now.

Bye-bye!

It's so odd!

OK, we have two fantastic stylists

who are more than up for the job.

I can't wait for you to meet them.

I can't wait. Are you ready? Yeah.

Come on. Let's go. Ohhh!

Now that Polly's said a fond

farewell to her clothes,

I'm dying to see what Joey

and Sabrina have in store for her.

Polly is a performer.

I want her to look like she can

smash it onstage

like Stevie Nicks.

Polly is in this new phase of

her life,

so I jut want to send her off to uni

with a fantastic suitcase full of

fabulous preloved finds.

They're both very competitive.

I've had, actually, to draw a line

between them to keep them apart.

They have brought their A-game.

Fab. Shall we find out who goes

first. Yes, please. OK.

Who do you think it is?

I think it's going to be Sabrina.

I think it's going to be Joey.

It's Sabrina.

Yes. Sabrina's first again. OK.

Come with me. Fab.

Don't worry, Joey,

I'll be getting an adjudicator

to check she's not having

a cheeky tamper with my coin.

Right, my darling.

I think these looks could be great

for your first week at university,

that's when you want to go in,

make an impact. Bam! Yeah.

Set your style. Yeah, absolutely.

All right, so first,

is this little suit here.

A lovely wide pinstripe. Mm. OK.

And this navy blue just looks great

with your hair.

OK. Love that. Yeah? Yeah.

I've got this little

leather-look skirt.

Love this! I love this!

We're going to do that with an

oversized, baggy, denim jacket. Ooh!

And I think with this,

I've got some accessories as well.

I want you to throw on one

of these.

OK. Scarves? Yeah. Cute.

All preloved. Love it.

I'm loving your smile right now.

I really am!

And number three is Ohhh!

..some wide-leg jeans.

This little Oooh!

..cropped tie top.

OK. Yeah. Yeah.

And now the icing on the cake. OK.

Polly. OK. Sick. Yeah. Love it.

This, if you think it's

too dramatic,

does actually button off. Oh.

So you've got two coats in one. Oh,

yeah. I love it when that happens.

It's been a strong start

for Sabrina,

but Polly can only choose two

outfits to try on.

Definitely that navy one.

Yeah. Yeah.

And, now I'm deciding.

I think I need a bit of help, yeah?

I think try this. Yeah.

And this With the coat.

And then we can chuck the coat on.

I agree. Do you think? I think.

All right, then.

Smug.

Oh, my God! I love it.

Yes! Yes! Whoot-woo.

I've never worn a waistcoat before,

but the way that Sabrina's

styled it,

sort of as a top. I really like it.

The coat fitted her like a glove.

Oi, if she doesn't want it, I'll

have that. Yeah? All right.

You'll have to buy it off me,

though, from the app.

Mates rates.

Aww! Look at you!

Oh, my God! I love it!

I can imagine myself onstage

with this, to be fair. Yeah.

Polly, I think you're all set

for uni now.

Do you even want to go

and see Joey's stuff?

Sabrina, that would be like eating

starters

without the main course and dessert.

So, yeah.

Raorhhhh!

OK, Joey,

shall we see if the proof is

in the pudding?

Hi, Polly!

Time for you to step up

to the plate.

See what I did there?

So, let's go with the first look,

we'll go straight in there.

So I've got you this really cool

T-shirt. OK.

And I'm going to team it

with these amazing,

flared, wide leg, rock star jeans.

Amazing.

And then Ah!

This is going to be battle of

the jackets. It is.

So I've got you this amazing retro

Afghan coat. That's sick.

For the second look Yeah.

..I've gone for this cool denim

dress. I like that.

Very Dolly Parton, that, Joey.

I know!

I love a bit of Dolly Parton.

You'll be going nine-to-five

to college!

To go with the denim dress,

I have this amazing faux fur leopard

coat. Amazing.

And then the last look I've gone

for is this retro/modern print.

Sick, yeah.

It's a really cool dress.

So what I want to team it with is

this tweed, cool blazer.

And then I've got you a ruck sack.

So I'm just thinking it's like that

cool girl aesthetic,

like you're

going to be walking through campus

and everyone's going to be like,

"Who's that girl?"

So which two would you like to try?

Definitely the middle one.

I love the denim dress Yes.

..and the leopard print.

And then, I think the idea of, like,

the contrasting,

like, horizontal stripes

and the vertical stripes

intrigues me.

Come with me. Good luck, Gorg'.

He has done well.

They're great pieces. Love it.

Ah!

Polly, my love, are you

nearly ready?

I'm ready.

Oh, yeah, I love it.

I love the clashing, like Yeah.

..lines,

which I've never really tried

before.

And the coat's just amazing.

It's flattering, the jeans,

as well.

Like, I like how these fit on me.

Shall we try on the next outfit?

Definitely, yeah.

Try not to fall over. Yeah.

She looks bangin'. Look at this!

Oh, my God, that's amazing.

I love it.

Oh, I love it.

I think you look so good.

And it's giving Dolly Parton.

I can imagine singing a gig,

and then taking the jacket off.

That's it.

How does this outfit make you feel,

Pol?

Like a pop star.

Well done. Smashed it.

She looks great.

Now that the stylists have revealed

their collections,

it's decision time.

Who's collection will she choose

to take home,

and who's will be re-sold online?

So, I love Sabrina's blue co-ord,

with the cool furry jacket.

But then I love

the Dolly Parton look

with the denim dress that

Joey picked out.

The decision is very big,

and I'm quite stressed,

but I do think I know

what I'm going to choose.

Hi!

Ahhhh!

Look at you!

I'm excited to see.

I'm going to put you

out of your misery.

Oh, my God! I love it!

What was it about this look

and Sabrina's collection that made

you go for her?

This outfit is just so versatile,

and it's so me as well.

Like, I can imagine me wearing this

at social events.

Are you ready though,

to break the news to Joey?

He's going to be gutted.

I'm not sure.

Shall I hold your hand. Yes.

Come on, let's go.

As Polly prepares

to make Sabrina's day

Well, hello, guys.

..what she doesn't know is that her

biggest fans,

AKA family and friends,

have lined up backstage.

Guys, how are you feeling?

Excited and nervous. Yeah.

And this moment is always a bit,

you know, you're on edge.

It's tense.

OK, guys,

are we ready to bring her out?

Yes, excited.

Polly, are you ready?

What the hell?

Oh, my God!

I'm so confused!

Her face says it all.

She just looks fantastic.

It's such a kind of exciting

new phase of her life.

I think Sabrina's done

an amazing job, yeah.

Like the colours that she's chose

really complement Polly.

Sabrina, you are the winner.

Yes! Yes, Polly! You look amazing!

You look amazing!

I feel like a proud big sis!

But, listen, you're not only taking

away tis beautiful outfit,

you're going to take away

the whole wardrobe that Sabrina put

together for you.

And that's not all. We would like

to send you away to have a little

night out on us!

Oh, my God! Thank you! You're

so welcome!

Just consider it like a little bit

of practice for uni. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm feeling fab. That's made me

so excited to go to university

and bring all these new

preloved clothes with me.

Wheyyyyyyy!

What an amazing day. Yeah. One all.

That's how I like it.

You should feel dead proud

of yourselves.

Aww! Thanks, Vick.
