| Trinny & Susannah Undress... (2006)traight talking style experts Trinny and Susannah are on a mission to transform fashion virgins up and down the country in their new series. The duo focuses on couples - perking up their wardrobes and in the process attempting to put the spark back into tired relationships. Well known for their humour, warmth and brutal honesty, the straight-talking stylists delve into people's dirty linen baskets and wardrobes and find out how they really feel about themselves and each other. And they even get the couples to strip naked and look and film each other's bodies to help them view their partner in a new light and remind them why they fell in love. Susannah says: “We've learnt so much about human nature doing this show and so much about relationships. Clothes and the way a person feels about their clothes is a reflection of what they think about themselves. Looking at the way a couple dresses defines their relationship instantly.” Trinny adds: “The couples have each gone on an emotional journey and we've lived that with them. We've learnt so much about our own marriages during the process.” Trinny and Susannah are dispatched to various parts of Britain with no idea what awaits them. They quickly have to get to the bottom of what makes the couples tick, what they usually wear and how they'd like to see their other half dress. Susannah says: "We know nothing about the couples when we arrive at their front door. Straight away there's a visual discrepancy between the two of them and we soon discover that there's an emotional one too.” The couple are asked to go shopping separately to buy an outfit for each other with some surprising results - especially when sizes are a complete mystery! Back at home they try on their new clothes and model their new looks. Before working their makeover magic the girls host a dinner party at the family home and get to know the couple better with the help of their friends. The husband and wife team reveal the outfits they have bought for each other and their friends are put on the spot to give their honest opinions on the couple and their relationship. Next they must face up to 'The Naked Truth' about themselves and each other. The style experts surprise the couple by asking them to strip naked and get re-acquainted with the bits they've forgotten about - to rediscover each other's bodies and to help Trinny and Susannah get to know them on the inside as well as the outside. To protect their modesty they do this behind a screen - the girls and the viewers will only see their silhouettes. A small hand held camera is also used by the couple to highlight the parts they love about each other's bodies. Trinny says: “The couples find out so much about each other in those 10 minutes that they don't get time to discover during the course of their every day lives because they are so busy rushing around. To make people get away from everything and stop and take that time to rediscover each other's bodies helps them to remember why they fell in love with each other in the first place.” Then the transformation can begin in earnest with Trinny and Susannah helping to change the way the pair look and feel. The girls take the couple shopping separately and give them hints and tips along the way to help re-educate them in the art of looking good. Once the clothes are in the bag it's the turn of hair stylist Richard Ward and make-up artist Charlotte Ribiero to help complete the transformation. Then it's time to put the girls' hard work to the test. On the day of reckoning Trinny and Susannah take the couple away somewhere special where they can unveil their new looks to each other.
