It’s important to dress for the job-slash-life you want. It was the easiest yes for me, as it feels like an extension of what I promote on the show. They contacted my teams and asked if I'd be interested in working with Men’s Wearhouse on their annual Suit drive, which collects gently used professional attire for those in need. How did you get involved with Men’s Wearhouse Suit Drive?
Here, France (through email, as keeping to a scheduled phone interview is evidently not important) elaborates on the Suit Drive, what makes him a style expert and how to buy the perfect suit. This involves a makeshift therapy session, cooking lessons, a trip to the barber, some home improvement and, for France’s part, a wardrobe revamp.Īnd though the latter is the only aspect that the Suit Drive offers, it does, as France admits, go a long away in helping a large group of men start down a new path to success. They’ve had something happen to them that put them in a rut, and it is the job of the “Fab Five,” as they are known, to get them out of it.
More often than not, the guys getting the style and culture overhaul on the show are victims of circumstance.
Not only does he have some measure of fame because of “Queer Eye,” but the spirit of positive transformation that the show fosters fits perfectly into the ethos of the Suit Drive, too. So, in an effort to give those in need a leg up, Men’s Wearhouse is culling suits of all sizes, and is looking to France to get the word across.
