This is a stab in the dark, but there was a segment in a show called 'The Midnight Walk' that had a bit with thrift store makeovers, plus the host was known for his flashy attire. If that's the one, it aired sporadically—I think mainly in select cities. It's a deep cut, but maybe that's it?

Are y'all making this up? Sounds like a fever dream of the 90s fashion mixed with late-night cheese. Got an episode on LaserDisc for ya right here 😂

This is ringing some vague bell in the deep recesses of my mind as well. There was definitely a host with the most outrageous bright clothes, right? And they'd pick out the wildest outfits from thrift stores... wish I had a name for ya though!

idk, I watched a lot of late-night TV in the 90s and what you're talking about doesn't ring a bell. Are you sure it was a national show and not some public access thing? There were so many random shows back then.

Hey! What you're describing sounds a lot like 'Metro Mode' that was on late nights. The host's neon windbreaker was like a beacon of urban fashion statement, and yes, they definitely had a thrift shop transformation section! Very niche but a cult classic among fashion enthusiasts. I'll update if I come across any old tapes.

I think I know the show you mean! Neon windbreaker is giving me strong vibes of 'Urban Runway'—that was my jam! They'd grab people right off the sidewalk and totally transform them, such an underrated gem of the 90s. Hope someone has it recorded on a VHS somewhere lmao

sounds super familiar! wasn't there like a segment called 'Thrift Flip' or something? gosh, the 90s had all the cool shows. I'll dig around some old TV guides if I find them at my parents' place this weekend.

omg yes! I totally remember what you're talking about. I think my older cousin used to watch it, something like 'Street Style' or 'Style in the Streets?' Wish I could remember more clearly but it was definitely a thing!
