Emma Willis is set to front a new CBBC series, 'Style It Out', a sustainable fashion competition for young designers. The show will see nine children from across the UK compete in styling challenges using pre-loved, vintage, and recycled materials, with the winner earning a spot to showcase their creations at London Fashion Week.
The series, produced by Lion Television Scotland, will air on CBBC and BBC iPlayer from 10 January, with three episodes weekly and a finale on 7 February. Filmed at Sky Blue Studios in Coventry, the contestants will upcycle and embellish outfits, challenging fashion norms and stereotypes while promoting sustainability.
Resident judges include stylists Ayishat Akanbi and Jorge Antonio, with weekly celebrity judges such as Gok Wan, Katya Jones, and others. Challenges range from red-carpet outfits to customisation tasks, with themes like Prom, Halloween, and Animals. Two finalists and a wild card will compete for the top prize.
Emma Willis expressed her excitement, calling the show a 'passion project' and praising the young designers' creativity. Patricia Hidalgo, Director of BBC Children’s and Education, highlighted the show's celebration of creativity and sustainability, hoping to inspire young audiences to upcycle their own fashion.
