Must See TV: B.O.R.N to Style
While flipping through TV channels last night, underwhelmed with most of the evening’s selection, I did manage to stumble across a reality TV gem, B.O.R.N to Style, on the FYI Network. Now I don’t know about y’all, I’m a sucker for a good makeover show! I love observing how the eclectic personalities of enthusiastic stylists interact with the makeover participants. It’s always interesting to see how these style and fashion gurus navigate the multitude of challenges they face, in order to please their (sometimes stubborn) clients. However, my favorite part of these shows is always the final reveal. More often than not, the stylists manage to successfully pull of their makeover rescue, and though this season has just started, it is clear that the team at B.O.R.N are pros at transforming fashion victims into fashionista victors.
Jonathan Brodrick is the owner of B.O.R.N, which stands for borrowed, old, refurbished, and new. Together with his elite team of taste experts, these stylists spice up the looks of New York City’s most fashionably challenged. Located in the heart of Harlem on 125th St, this chic boutique is all about fashion with flava, combining elements of haute couture, runway, vintage, and street fashion, ensuring all customers leave the shop feeling completely reborn! After watching the episode, it is apparent that Jonathan and is crew really understand what it means to style for the soul, unleashing one’s inner beauty, like a fierce force in stilettos. As Jonathan says in the opening credits, “At B.O.R.N, we help clients find the look they were always meant to have!” Discovering my inner fashionista is enough of an incentive for me to make the long A train commute from Brooklyn, to Harlem, just to spend the day playing dress up at B.O.R.N.
Tune in to B.O.R.N to Style, Tuesdays at 10ET/11PT, on the FYI Television Network.
