- am i gonna get a nice mesh thing? - um, you'll have some mesh.- something. oh no! (upbeat music)- high school fashion, baby! - i really don't know how highschoolers dress these days. - what's a septum? - aaahhh. ahhh!- they're doing things
that i still to this day am not confident enough to do. - are you ready?- dayum! we have four amazingdiverse high school girls who sent in their dreamvision of how they want their high school malecounterparts to dress. - and to bring their visions to life, we've brought in a designer! who's gonna make us all hawt.
oh yeah.- nothing like a bunch of 30 year old men getting dressed up by little girls. (upbeat pop music) (cowbell rings)- it's high school makeover time! (quirky music)- how do high schoolers dress now?- i dunno, they dress cool. like jack.
come here jack, get over here. - they just where a lot more patterns but everything's like tight. - this is what high schoolers look like. he's got the cool hairthat ned's tryin' to have. - it's a lot of like high waisted hip type short things. - he's got this like, half tuck. every time i try to half tuck my shirt
i look like a moron.(both laugh) - they do like the buttonall the way sometimes. - they put things togetherthat i just don't understand and i admire it in a lot of ways. - i don't know, what arethese, old vhs tapes? - [jack] i don't know. - you don't have to know what they are because they're hot! explain to me how a cassette works, jack.
go sit down! - today when a trend happens you immediately know it happensbecause of the internet. we didn't have that in the 2000s. we had to wait a year. by the time we wore it,it was not cool anymore. - jack is proof that highschoolers dress really well now, at least the ones thathave the hair like that. - (laughs) the way thati dressed in high school
kind of existed up until like (upbeat rock music)two years ago. my jeans were always way too long. this was coming out of the dayswhere baggy jeans were cool. i just didn't get the memo thateveryone else had moved on. i wasn't cool enough to skateboard so i wore the skateboarding clothes and i then i wasn'tfunny enough to be funny so i put jokes on myself.
all the things that i wantedto be but didn't know how to be because i was an insecure young twat. - my style in high school was a lot of (quirky music)baggy polo shirts. i think it was because i was kinda skinny. like if i wore a tight shirt i would just look like a plucked chicken.(chicken clucks) only recently after i got married,
where ariel would kindof help me find things that she found more attractive. so i wouldn't say itruly became fashionable until i was a 29 year old.- just last year? - yeah, it was last year. - oh, i was a geeky nerd. i played french horn. played magic: the gathering. it wasn't on brand for me to look good.
i dressed real funny. i just dressed like outfitswere meant to be jokes. it didn't seem like girls liked me so i didn't wanna give 'em a reason to (laughs) and it worked. (crew member laughs)i can say i succeeded at repealing all women fora long time in my life. (french horn toots) (upbeat electronic music)- i was kind of dressing
in whatever i thought was stylish which was highly dominated by a lot of justin timberlake going solo. i look back at my photos and i'm like, "kill it with fire." i did not look cool. i wore a lot of scarves on t-shirt. a lot of man jewelry, onering, one bracelet, dog tags. dog tags were huge.
we were all nerds in high school and i think in the endwe just wanna look cool. so i know these girls are gonnawanna get their hands on us. - hi, i'm andrea.- hi, andrea. - what's up zach? - this is how she says hello to people. i'm gonna try and lock that in. - leah's glasses match her necklace. this is great.
- i love her hair color. already a good sign. - i'm gonna look at yourhigh school pictures now. from the pictures i'm seeing, baggy pants, baggyshirt, baggy everything. - okay, i get it vina. i was baggy. - baggy, baggy, baggy, baggy, baggy. - this sizing, these pants, the length.
- look at these pictures. look at them.- she smiling but she hates it. - oh (laughs). no, i was not ready for this.- (laughs) oh no! - [andrea] i'm not diggin' the shoes. - i just had one pair of shoes. - there are shoes for everything but not one pair for everything.
- i really like the second picture of him just admiring a glass cup. - that was thanksgiving. - why (laughs)? - this is me on a plate. - wow keith, there's so much going on, like, i really don't know what to say (keith laughs)at this point. - when you walked in, whetherit's a good or a bad way,
you left me at a loss for words. - your clothes don't fit you well. i guess they might have beentrendy during your time. - eh. - it just looks likeyou're trying to figure out who you are but you don't really know. - she's right. - ooh. yikes.
tank top and jeans, flip-flop combo, a combo that we don't needto bring back into the world. - marley is so shady. i love it. - the deep v paired with the gray vest. true icon. - i always applaud accessorizing and you, you went there. - that scarf i would just like,
don't ever do that again. - sorry marley.- yikes. - i'm sorry. (upbeat music)- these looks that the high schoolers brought are gonna be really, really, really amazing. - what my style is foryou is 80s rock and roll.
- [roman] sort of grunge direction. - that's my style. and i wanted to portraymy style onto yours. - she wants rock and roll. i can do this.- like, cole sprouse. - wait, cole sprouse from zack and cody? i'm gonna live that suite life. - he's very leather jacketand like messy stuff, messy hair.
- zack's a bad boy. - the style i chose forned was pretty spooky to be honest.- spooky? - [andrea] i really wantedhim to look straight out of a nylon magazine.- she's gonna make me extra. - we're gonna do someoversized pieces, high waist, maybe a belt moment--- oversized, high waisted sounds like pajamas. am i gonna be wearing pajamas?
- um, denim pajamas? - still trying to achievethat artsy look for ned. - i can definitely standto be a little more artsy. - all this hair is gonnabe brushed to the front. i think hair says a lot abouthow a person wants to look. - so i guess my hair says thati don't care about anything. - keith, the style we have chosen for you is a more refined, minimalistic street chic look.- what?
there were seven adjectives in that. - it still follows the currenttrend of high school guys but with a more refined grown up taste. - you are probably gonnabe the most fashion forward of the try guys today. - well that is not normal. - a lot of avant-gardeis coming into trend, brands like jw anderson, ann demeulemeester,
rick owens, dries van noten.- sure. - the style i'm kinda looking for is more an androgynous queer fashion as we see. - rainbow flag, right on. - i wanted to have possibly more of a masculine clothing type but have like makeup and hair. - with her look we are going all the way.
- hmm. - i don't know how open eugene is--- i'm open. - to dying his hair.- oh well, not that open. (laughs) dayum. - are you ready? i think i wanna have you try this on. (quirky music)- wow, a plastic jacket.
- [ned] whoa, whoa, whoa, easy.- yeah, a little wool moment. - i'm gonna start describingmy clothes as moments. - everything is a moment.- oh my god. i'm having a moment. - [zach] what's on the back? - [roman] more scorpions, more scorpions.- wow, i'm a bad boy. - (laughs) kinda makes mystupid outfit look like,
"oh he's got a point herehe's trying to make." - yeah, it's pretty cool. - get the will of theasian ancestors before you. - i can help--- we're good with little feet. - why do i feel like i'mabout to invade normandy? - this is cooler than anything i own. - and this is not becausei need the glasses. - no, this is strictly fashion. - it's cause i want the glasses.
- [roman] exactly. - [zach] oh, i'm into this. - a little fundo tee. - it has crosses on it. - it has crosses on it.- you know i'm jewish, right? - but we might not go with this one. and i mean if we removed all of this... - dumbledore! - i think i'm just a traffic cone
that tried to dress like a human. this is what people wear. - i've seen things like this in the store but i'm just always afraid that my (laughs) hairy body's gonnapoke out of it in weird ways. - some people like hair. - some people. - it's a choice. it's a moment.- it is a moment.
vina wants you to look badass. - she wants everyone to look badass. i just happen to be herpalette that she stuck with. - exactly. - i'm excited for her vision. because i think any visionis better than this. - you need some help? - no i'm good. i'm just gonna
walk on outta here. (bell rings)ned. - [ned] what? - what'd you get on number 5?- i'm not telling. - keith what'd you get on number 5? - danesha. - this is a math class. - oh, shit. (upbeat rock music)- we're losing this?
- we're losing that. - old zach is dead! - i hope you don't completely hate it. he's bad boy but he doesn't seem bad and i have no doubtabout you pulling it off. - welcome to the suite life. (everyone laughs) (upbeat rock music)
- yeah.- wow. you look like a badboy who lost 70 pounds. - i'd give him my lunch money. - like old zach is me versus the guy she told you not to worry about. - nice meme reference. - i love the jacket. i love the shirt. the rings are overwhelming to me.
- is that a thing that i can start doing? cause i like this. - i think vina's versionof you rocks this jewelry. - i'm still handlingthe length of the pants. - [zach] i got hot ankles. - you really cole sproused up. did dylan die? - no he didn't die. - who are these people?
- there are pieces in this outfit that i either own or tried to own. so like i'm on the right track. - to being a high schooler. - i look like the guy that would make out with your prom date which is a nice role reversal cause someone else madeout with my prom date in front of me!
- wow. wait, i didn't know that about you. - (laughs) yeah.- why'd he do that? - that's horrible.- let's talk about this. - this is a very realistic version of a cool guy in high school today. - i'm a bad boy. bad boy. i'm a bad boy.
- uh, we need to stop this now. (bell rings) - hey keith.- yeah. - you wanna join the pen 15 club? - yeah, i love the penis club. have you ever been to like pen island? penis land? - i think ned is gonna be horrified in this look.
(ned groans)- oh god. ah! - we can nix the nose ring.- no, no, no. (roman laughs) (upbeat music)nose ring's essential. - and he's gonna have black nails because his style has a lot of angst but i know he can pull it off. (upbeat electronic music)
- school is meaningless. - oh! wow!- oh my god! - what?(upbeat tango music) you look great. - from behind--- thank you. - i don't know who you are.
i just know i want to sleep with you. - [ned] get in line. (zach giggles) - (laughs) what is thisattitude you've taken on? - [eugene] hair is great. the septum piercing actually looks really good.- yeah, the coat is gorgeous and like just the colorsacross the outfit are amazing.
- [eugene] you look like areally hot artistic lesbian mom. - snaps to that. - if you went to highschool with me though i wouldn't know what to do with myself. - let me be clear zach, i would definitely not be your friend.- you do kinda suck now too. - oh yeah.(everyone laughs) - this is such a look i've never seen matched with nail polish ona guy and it's incredible.
- [eugene] every item you'rewearing your wife could borrow. - i'm a trendsetter. i certainly would never havechosen this for myself but now that i see it, i really like it. i just can't wait to get intooxford and start my real life. - (laughs) oh god, you suck so much. i've learned that you suck so much. - i bless you and i respect you. class dismissed.
- [zach] nope, we'vestill go two makeovers. - (sighs) are you done yet eugene? - done doing what? - breathing? (laughs) "are you done yet?" "done with what?" "breathing." (zach and ned snicker) - alright, you ready toget dressed up for school.
(upbeat music)- i'm so ready. - honestly, you should feel badass and cool. - what? the other guys are gonna be so jealous. - i think you can totally pull it off as long as you got the confidence and you feel great in it. - i think this lookdeserves some extra credit.
(ned laughs) - oh my god! - look at the custom belt! - wow! - how is there try guys on that? was that you roman? - of course.- roman! - you are having an orange moment. - [keith] do i look likea sexy traffic cone?
- yes!- yeah. - you don't look like a traffic cone but you would stop traffic. - that was good.- i've never seen you wear boots. those pants are beautiful!- yeah, these pants are amazing. no, i definitely didn'tthink i would like it. - [eugene] and do you?
- yeah, everything aboutthis is pretty stunning. - you look like a veryfashionable japanese person. (upbeat japanese music)- yes! that's what it is. - wow.- right? it makes sense because thisis the most fashion forward and japan is always like three and a half seasons ahead of us. - this is just the coolestversion of yourself.
- jack will you come back to the stage please?- jack! - how do i look? - honestly, you do pull it off. - yeah? fuckin' lit as shit. is lit as shit a thing? cause that's great. - this is a beautiful moment
and i just want us to all appreciate that all three of us lookway better than eugene. - yeah, eugene looks terrible. (bell rings)- you know, i know some really great ramen spots if you ever want me to show you sometime.- oh, i know ramen spots. - zachary have you ever read hemingway? - i don't read.- don't.
- first thing we're gonna do is take off all these accessories. actually, those first. put those over there.- dressing androgynous is such a beautiful thing. - pull the fishnets up over your shirt. - [eugene] over the shirt? - having men wear things that a typically feminineperson would wear
hopefully it will opena new avenue of style for him because he doesseem very confident. (upbeat music) - [eugene] 'cuse me? is this the nurses office? - what?- because this look is sickening. (upbeat electronic music)- wow! (ned laughs)what?
huh? what? very like entrancing. i find it very beautifuland i don't understand it. - [ned] oh my god, youhave double ear piercings. - [zach] now you're wearingmakeup but it works. - [ned] also you have the giant boots on and then your hair just goes straight up.
it's like your seven feet tall. - wow, look at that. (laughs) look at that! - i can't be a bad boywhen i'm this little. this is a cool jacket. it's got some really greatdetails on it, the hood. i'm torn on the fishnets on the leg. - [keith] yeah, they'rehigh waisted fishnets. - do i look like
tilda swinton and rihannahad an asian baby? - i feel the tilda.- i see a tilda. - you're having a tilda moment. - [zach] you said it wasgonna be an androgynous look. i expected it to be more foreign to me. i think anyone could wearthat and pull it off. - uh, yeah. in high school you try to stand out. you're trying to define who you are
and you're trying to use your fashion. you're developing your personality. to have this strong of a look is such a statement. - for all those high school boys out there ready to experiment. you got four new looks to play with. - and they only cost $30,000. (everyone laughs)- shh.
style is so individual and is such a deep expression of oneself that many times a lot peoplesay they don't have style but i think it's just thatthey haven't found it yet. we were lucky enough tofind four young girls who have found their styleand shared it with us. - throughout my lifethere have been things i wasn't confident enough to wear. and that's not a high school zach thing
that's just an always me thing. and today has shown methat that is a restriction that i put on myself. - do it for how it makes you feel and like how it affects your personality cause maybe when you dothink outside of the box you could be rewarded for it. - i think it's all aboutjust surprising people with how you look.
i was doing it with a negative way but you could surprisepeople by looking cool. it's still just as effective. - there's a lot of thingsthat we might be wearing that you might not bepersonally comfortable with but someone out there is and i think that's what's important. - (laughs) if you'renot cool in high school, if you don't dress like this,
that is okay. but the fact that some highschoolers think like this, is amazing. - grab some of your friend's clothes. put 'em on. see if you look hotter than them. jack, give me some of your clothes. - schools out for summer boys. - [keith] alright, i hate school.
- at the end of the summer i realized the world hadn't changed. i'd changed. freeze frame!
