The program premiered in 2003 and aired on TLC in the United States and Canada. It also aired on Discovery Travel & Living Europe, on People+Arts in Spain as ''¡No te lo pongas!'' ("Don't Wear That!"), and in Portugal and Brazil as ''Esquadrão da Moda'' ("The Fashion Police") on Discovery Home & Health. Foreign versions of show air in Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Italy. ''What Not to Wear'' was hosted by Stacy London and Clinton Kelly. On March 6, 2013, TLC announced that the tenth season of ''What Not to Wear'' would be the last. ==Format== Episodes featured participants nominated by friends, co-workers, or relatives. Some episodes involved self-nominations, such as the class reunion specials or mall nominations. In the latter, ''What Not to Wear'' set up a 360-degree mirror in various malls across the United States, which allowed women to explain why they needed fashion help. Early episodes featured both men and women; however, as the men's transformations did not prove to be as remarkable, all later episodes featured women exclusively. Some episodes featured both the nominee and the nominator being selected for a makeover. When a woman was selected, the show secretly followed and videotaped her for two weeks. Sometimes the nominee would be asked to participate in "market research" by a camera crew which was actually the ''What Not To Wear'' crew filming her pre-makeover look for the show. Also, the nominators sometimes gained access to the nominee's closet to point out specific items of clothing that they considered particularly bad. While reviewing the secret footage, Stacy and Clinton would comment, in sometimes caustic style, on why the nominee's wardrobe was unflattering ("mom jeans") or out-dated (purchased in the 1980s) and they would usually meet with the nominators before meeting the nominee. Afterward, the entire group would go to meet the soon-to-be-surprised nominee. During the surprise visit, the nominee was offered a $5,000 Visa debit card (in later seasons, the card was an unbranded $5,000 gift card) for the purpose of buying a new wardrobe if she would turn over her entire existing wardrobe to Stacy and Clinton and shop by their "rules" (shopping guidelines tailored for her age, body shape, and profession). If the nominee accepted the terms of the offer then Stacy and Clinton would give them the gift card and review the secret footage with them. If she declined, nothing further is filmed and there is no show. Nominees were sometimes very reluctant to agree and had to be persuaded by Stacy and Clinton and the nominators. After reviewing the secret footage, the nominee was brought to New York City for a week of evaluation, shopping, and hair and make-up styling.〔Odenwald, Dan (August 21, 2003). ("Watch and Wear" ). ''Metro Weekly''. Accessed April 30, 2009〕 Throughout the week, the nominee frequently declared she was unable to find properly fitting clothes, she disliked her body, or she didn't care what other people thought. On the first day, Stacy and Clinton would sort through the nominee's current wardrobe, and she would step inside a 360-degree mirror to explain what she liked about her regular outfits and why she thought they looked good on her. After critiquing each outfit, Stacy and Clinton presented a more "appropriate" outfit to the participant to help illustrate the "rules" for the participant to follow when shopping for new clothes. Throughout the sorting process, most of the clothes were symbolically tossed in a large garbage can; however, they were actually donated to charity as long as they were not torn or damaged.〔Vowell, Roberta (January 25, 2008). ("VA Beach fitness trainer get makeover from TLC's 'What Not To Wear'" ). ''The Virginian-Pilot''. Accessed April 30, 2009〕 On the second day, the participant was filmed shopping on her own in various New York stores including Mexx, New York & Company, Ann Taylor, Filene's Basement, Searle, H&M, Bloomingdales, Macy's, and Montmartre. Stacy and Clinton watched the videotaped footage and commented, for the benefit of the viewers/audience, on whether or not the participant was following the "rules". On the third day, Stacy and Clinton would surprise the participant, comment on whether the previous day's purchases followed the "rules", and help her with the remainder of the shopping. If the participant had not followed the rules, the clothes may have to be returned. On the fourth day, hair stylist Ted Gibson and make-up artist Carmindy transformed the participant's appearance. At this stage, Stacy and Clinton were not present. On the fifth and last day in New York, the participant showed off her new look to Stacy and Clinton—in three of her new outfits. Stacy and Clinton then commented on how her new look flatters her body and generally improves her appearance. The last segment featured a party in the participants' hometown, where she would show off her new look to friends and family, who would comment on how impressed they were and how happy she looked. With the credits rolling, the participant was shown in additional wardrobe items and commented on what the experience did for her emotionally and how it improved her confidence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「What Not to Wear (U.S. TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
