Second Hand Style-Up (2023) s02e05 Episode Script

1
Whoo!
I'm Vicky Pattison.
Step into my preloved
fashion pop-up
Welcome to your wardrobe.
..with a very select guest list
Seeing it all laid out like this
I'm like,
"Yeah, I definitely needed
the help."
..of people embarking
on a new life chapter
Say your goodbyes now.
Bye-bye!
..and in search
of a new style to match.
Would you wear the yellow
with that? Yeah. OK.
I would never have thought
of trying something like this.
We've tasked two of
the UK's fiercest stylists
to give them a fresh look,
using only preloved fashion.
Right, come on, let's go.
Come on. Let's do it.
But - brutal twist
Oooh.
..each guest can only choose
one stylist's collection to keep.
I'm pleased I'm not in your shoes.
I don't know which way
this is going to go.
It's such a hard decision.
Coming up
A disability advocate
who recently came out as nonbinary,
and is now searching
for their new style.
OK, now we're talking.
And a distress signal from a young
mam whose style is in a spin.
None of that is going
near me any more.
My life is very different.
This is Second-Hand Showdown.
Meet 53-year-old Sandie
from the Cotswolds.
Since coming out as nonbinary
last year Sandie's been on quite
the self-discovery journey.
It's been amazing to see them
embrace their true identity.
They've got such
a vibrant character.
and even though
they've always been very stylish,
I'd like to see more
of their personality
brought out in their wardrobe.
I was very practised
at the old version of me,
but I'm not so practised
at this version of me.
I've got one or two looks down,
but I feel like I'm stuck in a rut
and I think I need some help
to express more of myself.
We've collected some of
the clothes Sandie no longer wants
and prepared them to be sold online,
and I have to say
there's some gorgeous pieces here.
This is so smart.
Hello. Hello.
Welcome to your wardrobe.
SANDIE GASPS
Everything's hung up.
It's a lot for some people
when they see it like this.
I'm just like. "Yeah, that's not me
now. That's definitely not me."
So tell me a little bit about
your sense of style.
I presented very feminine
because, if I'm honest,
that worked for me.
It made the people around me
very comfortable.
And I don't want to do that
any more.
I have spent my life
living very comfortably
and very confidently
as a very feminine woman.
It's really hard,
because I can see elements
of everything that's hung up here
that I still really like,
but when you put it all together,
it's just not right.
I think at the core of it,
I was always thinking,
"What would everybody else
feel comfortable with me wearing?"
Not what I would feel
most comfortable wearing
or what communicates the authentic
me to the rest of the world.
We all deserve to feel
like the best, bright,
most authentic versions of
ourselves. Yeah.
And a fantastic way
to do that is through fashion. Yeah.
Sandie's come to the right place.
Our top-tier stylists Joey Bevan
and Sabrina Grant
are waiting in the wings to give
them everything they want and more.
I'm excited about Sandy.
This is a great brief.
Someone who wants to play around
with that masculine and feminine
energy, which I do for myself.
I'm going to serve up some
androgynous Cate Blanchett styles.
We've estimated how much
Sandie's clothes will fetch online.
Sabrina and Joey are each
working with the same amount
to pick up their preloved looks.
Of course, Sandie can pick
only one of their collections
to take home, which is where
the "showdown" bit comes in.
It's not always about the winning.
It's the taking part that counts,
being up for the challenge.
Really?
Look, I know this is supposed
to be a competition,
but it's not about that. We're just
happy when we see people
walking out of here
with a big smile.
I'm not sure
I believe you there, Joey.
Now, these are my secret weapons -
my styling assassins.
And they are going to help you
really realise this new version
of yourself. Oh, fantastic.
Should we do the coin, find out
who's going first? All right.
OK. Are you ready, guys? Yep.
Joey. Yeah! Well done, son.
Excellent. Sandie, follow me.
Joey now gets to show
Sandie three fabulous looks,
while Sabrina clocks the competition
from her side of the studio.
OK, so first of all,
a nice black little tank top
to go underneath a white shirt.
So, with this, I've gone for
the full two-piece green suit.
That is nice. But this is not it.
OK.
I've added OK.
I hear you like a heel. I do.
Just a pop of colour.
I like that a lot. Yeah, good.
Yeah. The next look
I've gone for is kind of like
an everyday chill outfit that
you can glam up if you need to.
OK. So first of all,
I've got a more slimmer-fitted
white shirt,
mixed with this
like oversized V-neck jumper.
OK. And then I'm teaming it
with this amazing tartan jacket.
I recognise that jacket.
And then to finish it off,
we've got some wide-leg,
sporty denim jeans to go with it.
I like that.
I'm kind of over the moon
that you've seen ME as
a bit of a fashion inspiration
for you with
the tartan jacket there.
I would just like to put
a disclaimer out there
that I did pull that jacket
a while ago.
LAUGHTER
And then the final look -
we have this really
nice, smart rugby top.
OK. And then I'm going
to double it up.
So you've got the denim jacket
over the top.
I'm going for this like old-vibe mac
with the binding.
And then I've gone for
a nice pair of black cargo pants.
And I went for cargo pants
because of being in the chair -
I just thought it's easier
for access to pockets.
I love a pocket.
And I'm going to team it up
with this amazing silk scarf.
Joey's looks are so exciting.
Shall we try them on? Yep.
Let's go.
I can't wait to see
Sandie in their two top outfits.
Do you want to come out, Sandie?
VICKY GASPS
I love it. Ooh. Here I come.
OK.
How are you feeling?
I feel very sensible in it.
Was sensible the goal?
I don't know. I like it.
I really like it a lot.
I don't know if it's got as much
sass as I was expecting.
Let me put this little scarf on.
Even just adding that
little bit there,
it's just a little bit more sassy,
a little bit more cooler.
Sandie's definitely seeking sass,
not sensible.
Are you ready, Sandie?
Oh, wow.
Oh, my God. Oooh.
You look amazing.
OK, now we're talking.
LAUGHTER
Sandie has arrived.
CHEERING
I love it. Enough sass for you?
That is next level sass.
LAUGHTER
It's the strength of me
and the colour of me.
You've kind of got both energies -
you've got the masculine energy
and the feminine energy
moulded together
to communicate to the world,
"This is Sandie. This is who I am."
Joey has Sandie down to a T.
But they have yet to see
what style queen Sabrina
has hiding on her hangers.
I am so excited.
So I'm going to get straight
into that wardrobe. OK?
The first look. I've got you
some denim. OK?
They are wide leg. Lovely.
I've got you this cropped shirt.
Love the print. I love the print.
Yeah.
It's very bold. Next, OK Yeah.
A co-ord.
That is stunning.
The trousers as well
are very soft and very wide leg.
I know this is very stand-out,
so I also got you a bomber.
Oh, very, very nice.
That's look number two.
And then the third and final look.
This, I just thought, was fabulous.
A velvet Wow. ..suit. Yeah.
Navy blue. OK.
The trousers. Yeah.
The jacket.
And then this blouse
Oh, wow, yeah.
..which I think is just incredible.
This is just drama. Yeah.
I don't know how I'm supposed
to pick two outfits to try,
let alone anything else.
Soz, Sandie, them's the rules!
I don't make them.
Pick two and don't be greedy!
It's going to be close again.
I think I brought a little bit
more of the masculine energy,
and I think Sabrina's brought
a little bit more
of the feminine energy.
Meet-in-the-middle battle.
Sandie, how are you getting on?
Wow.
OK, wow, yeah.
It's really lovely. I don't think
that I would go in a room
and feel invisible. No.
And that's really important.
I love the co-ord.
As a wheelchair user,
knowing that
you're really comfortable,
but looking as incredible as that,
I think that's great.
Ooh. Oh, hello.
I can't wait to look in the mirror.
Pretty strong, mate. Pretty strong.
SANDIE LAUGHS
Wow. This is a wow, isn't it?
The colour of the suit is just
beautiful. Love the colour.
How do you feel in it?
I'm going to be really honest.
I love everything, but the frills -
I'm not 100% sure about the frills.
It's a little bit too
..feminine for me.
Oh, this one's going
to be a spicy one!
Sandie's now got to decide
which collection to keep
and which one will be
relisted online.
I am finding it really,
really difficult to make a decision.
You've got the looks
with the colour,
the sass from Sabrina.
And I really love
what Joey's done for me,
so it's a very difficult decision.
Coming up
The moment of truth,
when Sandie reveals which stylist
has won them over.
And we meet Shannon,
on a mission to put the yummy
in her mummy wardrobe.
Some things I can wear
at the weekends,
and be able to run after
my wee boy and climb trees,
but while looking good.
Earlier, the very sassy Sandie
tried on two outfits
from both Joey and Sabrina's
preloved collections,
in the hope of finding a suitable
style for their new identity.
Do you know what? I think I have
finally made my decision,
and I am so excited.
Trust us, Sandie,
I'm as excited as you are
to see what you've gone for.
Oh, my God.
Unreal.
You've been waiting a really long
time for this moment, haven't you?
Yeah. This is like the past
catching up with the present.
I'm so excited.
SANDIE EXCLAIMS
What a beautiful person.
I look amazing.
VICKY LAUGHS
When you look in the mirror and you
say, "There I am, that's me,"
it's joyful. It's free.
It's a celebration of who I am.
Are you ready to go
and break the news to our stylists?
I thought I was ready before,
and now I'm so excited.
Joey's going to lose his tiny mind.
Let's go.
Joey and Sabrina have also been
joined by Sandie's best friend Lou
for the big reveal.
I love this bit!
Hi, guys.
Hello. Lovely to meet you. Hi.
They are going to be
so excited to see you. Can't wait.
Sandie, we're ready for ya.
MUSIC PLAYS
Big entrance,
big reactions and big smiles!
Now THAT'S sass.
Oh, you look absolutely beautiful.
I love it. Thank you.
What a stunner. Yeah.
Literally feel like I'm glowing.
It feels like it's coming from
the inside of me
and it's shining out.
This is amazing. I haven't seen you
sparkle like this
for such a long time.
It's just a joy to see.
I know, it's been a while.
Everything that I think should be
coming out about
Sandie's personality and style,
it's right there in one outfit.
Sandie, we're not only sending
you away
with a gorgeous preloved wardrobe
picked by the lovely Joey,
we'd also like you to have
a little celebration on us.
So go out, paint the town red,
treat yourself.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
I'm feeling like so sparkly,
like a firework
that's just fizzing around.
I can't describe it,
but it's like the insides of me
are like all fizzy,
but it's showing on the outside.
Sandie has arrived! Woohoo!
Preloved fashion is so underrated.
There are so many gems out there.
I think it's incredible.
As Sandie fizzes off
into the sunset,
it's time to meet
our next style seeker,
25-year-old Shannon from Glasgow.
Hello.
Shannon became a mum for
the first time about a year ago,
and since then she's sort of lost
her way in the style stakes.
So, I'd love for someone to help her
rediscover her fashion sense
and show her how to dress like
the cool young mum she really is.
I don't like to follow the crowds.
I like to do my own thing.
I like to do what
makes me feel good,
I like to do things
that raises my spirit.
We've prepared the clothes
Shannon no longer wants
to be sold online.
Hello. Hi.
How are you?
I'm good. That's all my clothes.
I know.
Before, when I was having
a little snoop
because I am a real nosy cow,
I got the impression
it was someone young, fun,
who loved going out and loved
a bit of a party. Yeah, I did.
I used to work in a nightclub,
I used to love going out.
So what's changed?
I have a one-year-old son
who is very high energy,
keeps me on my toes.
None of that is going
near me any more.
My life is different,
my weekends are different,
my evenings are very different.
Motherhood has enriched my life
and my spirit in every way,
apart from that damn wardrobe.
I did read this one thing, right?
Mammy flamingos, after they give
birth, they lose all their pink,
and it takes them like a year or so
to get all their pink back. Yeah.
And I feel like that is kind of
what we're hoping
to do with you today to help you
find your feet
in this new style phase of your life
and get your pink back.
Does that sound about right?
Sounds absolutely what I need.
I think I might just be
the David Attenborough of apparel!
Our preloved warriors
Sabrina and Joey have used
the estimated value
of Shannon's old clothes
to snap her up
some exciting new looks.
This is Sabrina. Hi. Hello, Shannon.
I want to show Shannon that you can
still have style
whilst being a mum.
She's young, she's fun.
I'm going to make her
a yummy mummy.
And this is Joey. Hey, babe. Hi.
I'm going to do a capsule wardrobe
where she can mix and match pieces
and just wear them
with ease and style.
They've both been working very hard,
pulling together a preloved capsule
wardrobe for you.
So there's two to choose from,
and at the end of it you get
to keep absolutely everything,
but only of one person's wardrobe.
I have a little coin
to help us decide who goes first,
so let's get this show on the road.
Who do you think it is? It's me. Me.
It's Sabrina.
SABRINA EXCLAIMS
Yay. Joey, take a seat, my love.
Shannon, come with me.
It's game on as Sabrina gets to work
pitching her collection.
Remember, the losing stylist's
collection will be re-listed online.
OK, Shannon, let me show you the
first thing that I pulled for you,
which is this. OK?
I've got a leather-style-look
pencil skirt. OK. OK.
This is giving the Kardashians,
this is giving yummy mummy.
Look at your face.
It's giving work.
OK.
Wow, where did she work?
And are they hiring?
Even though this is a competition,
I do think that skirt's going to
look really good on you. Oh, thanks.
We're going to team that up
with this knit tank top,
which is quite smart, actually.
Yeah.
Although when you throw over this
bomber I love the bomber jacket.
Yeah, I like that, I like that.
..it gives it a casual feel.
Casual. Yeah. That's versatile,
and that's what I like.
Exactly. All these pieces here,
you can mix and match together.
Next, we've got this jumpsuit.
This is nice.
I love a jumpsuit.
And then I've gone in with this
jacket, which I think is amazing.
Like aviation vibe,
pilot's jacket. Love that, mate.
And then a co-ord.
I love that colour.
This is giving cosy, casual,
haven't made much effort,
but I look amazing.
Yay! Love.
It's time for Shannon
to try on her top two outfits.
Shannon, you ready? I'm ready.
Come on out, then, girl.
Ooh!
VICKY GASPS
Hello. Hey.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I look cool.
Pushing the pram
Like, yeah, I'm cool, I'm cool.
I think get these on.
How amazing are they?
OK. Right. that's well cool.
Look at that.
And I also got you a bag that
will work across all the looks.
I definitely would not
put them together,
but when I put it on,
I feel really good.
Are you nearly ready, Shannon?
Yes. I'm coming, I'm coming,
I'm coming.
Ooh!
VICKY GASPS
Hello.
Whoo-whoo! Yes, girl.
I actually love that.
I love this jacket.
Yeah. And I love the jumpsuit.
Let's see it with the glasses on.
I also got you something else
as well. Aww.
Bows Aw, that's cute.
..are all the rage, OK? Yes.
I'll show you on the back quickly.
Oh, I love it.
Oh, that, like, finishes it off.
Sabrina has done an amazing job.
I was really, really feeling myself
in those outfits,
but I'm so excited
to see what Joey has in store too,
because I'm looking over
and it looks quite different.
Oooh, the competition is ramping up!
Go on, then, Joey,
show Shannon what you've got.
First look I've got for you,
it's just like a simple
pale blue shirt
mixing with these cargo denim jeans.
Hmm. Very practical,
so they're kind of a wide leg.
Good for activities
when you're out.
Interesting.
And then I'm mixing it
with this cool
double-breasted jacket.
OK. I've gone for something
a little bit more chic-er,
which is this green daisy dress.
That looks beautiful.
..which I love, but then
..this is my favourite bit.
I've gone for the varsity jacket,
but the varsity jacket
has an S on it for Shannon!
Right. OK.
S could also be, "Go with Sabrina."
No, the S can be,
"Shut up, Sabrina."
LAUGHTER
OK.
And then the last look
I've gone for,
I've got this oversized turtleneck
that I want to tuck into I love
a good cable knit. Yes. Do you?
..this amazing leopard print.
And then this is my favourite.
I have the mac in denim.
I'm a bit apprehensive. Nice pieces.
Not sure if they're going to go
together, but we'll give it a bash.
Only one way to find out.
Let's see them on ya.
VICKY GASPS
Ooh. I love it.
The blue on you is something else.
The jeans are lovely. OK.
Are you feeling the vibe?
It's a bit different,
but, yeah,
I am actually feeling the vibe.
Thank goodness for that.
I think it's missing something.
A little boater hat just
to pull the look together. OK.
If you don't like the hat,
you can put something else on,
like have a little neckerchief
Yeah.
..which you can tie round.
Yeah. Quite unique.
Yeah. It's different.
Yeah, it's looks nice. I like it.
I'm so pleased
he's took the hat off.
I think you look gorgeous,
but the hat, to me, was mental.
It's just my opinion!
Right, then, let's see the next one.
Come on, then, girl.
VICKY GASPS
Ooh.
OK. I love this. The denim is really
popping your eyes.
Oh, thanks. I love this jacket.
It's giving off-duty mam.
Yeah. I know as a mam,
you're kind of never
You're always on duty. Yeah.
Also, this is the good thing
about preloved stuff.
My whole outfit,
I got everything here for under £30.
Wow. You can get a designer look
for really, really good prices.
I love the denim jacket.
I would walk past it in a shop.
I wouldn't know how to style it,
but now that I've tried it on
with this outfit,
I feel like I could probably style
it in a number of different ways.
You've got a really hard decision
to make now.
Is it going to be Sabrina's choice
of outfits
or is it going to be Joey's?
I love both wardrobes.
Joey's is really practical as a mum,
and Sabrina's just made me feel
It made me feel like myself again.
Come on, then, Shannon, it's time
to get your chosen outfit on.
Whoo-whoo! Hi.
Yes, queen!
You look unreal, mate.
Are you ready to see
your fantastic look? I am.
SHANNON SHRIEKS
Aw, I feel cool. You look cool.
I'm not a regular mum,
I'm a cool mum, you know!
I loved both, and it was so hard,
but I went with Sabrina's
because her outfits made me feel
like young and cool again.
Shall we go and deliver the news
to stylists? Yes. Let's.
Let's hope Shannon keeps her cool
when she discovers her best pals
have joined Joey and Sabrina
for the big reveal.
Wait till you see
the outfit that she has chosen.
She looks absolutely incredible.
I don't know which way
she's going to go, really.
It was really close.
Shannon, we're ready.
MUSIC PLAYS
ALL EXCLAIM
Hi, guys.
As you can see, guys, Shannon has
chosen Sabrina's preloved look.
Yeah, baby.
Well done. She does look
absolutely stunning.
Shannon's new look
I'm obsessed.
Obsessed. It was just so beautiful.
It's like seeing her five years ago.
I've got some more good news
for you. OK.
OK, we're not just sending you home
with your beautiful
preloved capsule wardrobe.
What else? We are also going to
give you a little night out on us.
Aww, thanks. You're welcome.
And now for the best surprise
of all.
Aww!
Oh, you're so handsome, you are.
I feel amazing.
I feel like I've been rejuvenated.
It's like my batteries have been
recharged, and I'm ready to go.
Luckily for you, Shannon,
you can release all that new-found
energy tonight
when you hit the town.
What an emotional roller-coaster
today's been.
People finding themselves
after all these years!
It's incredible what preloved
fashion can do, innit? It really is.
And yous are both doing so well.
Another 1-1.
I love it when it's like this.
We did it. Boom.
