I just watched four episodes of Frock Me with TK Maxx on 4od because on sunday, a few weekends ago I turned the telly on and found this programme on Channel 4 and suddenly I became a fan. With Alexa Chung and Henry Holland presenting it, the prgramme is quite fun. On every episode Gemma Cairney goes to a city and picks out 2 students she thinks are trendy. The students go head-to-head to try and create a look with the episodes theme having only £100 to spend. They have to borrow something from a friend and blag an item from a shop. I think the blagging bit is kinda unreal because in reality you couldn't go into a shop and ask to take the item for free but I suppose because its on TV and they had a cameraman walking around with them, shops wouldn't mind giving away something. On their second episode they had a theme of americana, meaning things like denim, cowboy boots, american flag print and crop tops. They talked about Alexander Wang's RTW Spring/Summer '10 collection which fits in with their americana theme (see in photo above).
