Have you ever seen someone in the street with an outfit you love? Don’t you wish you could you could just stop them and ask “where did you get that?” or even better, get them to give it you?
Get ready, to STEAL THAT STYLE!
Three women meet an internationally known stylist who kicks off the competition with a little advice on looks that will work for each of them.
The only problem is they can’t go to their usual fashion destinations. Instead they have just an hour to create their outfit using only clothes belonging to regular people they encounter on the street.
Like “The Apprentice”, they must use their powers of persuasion, negotiation and charm to put together their best looking outfit for only $1000. This includes shoes, jewelry, skirt, blouse, hat, bag, make up etc.
If they make a deal, the person will give them their clothes there and then (they’ll be given show branded merchandise to take the place of the item of clothing they just sold).
Once the clock has stopped, the contestants are whisked away to get a makeover, hair and makeup, but also we will see the clothes getting their own makeover with first class dry cleaning treatment, to make them all sparkly new, and also a few extra touches from our stylist.
Back in the studio, the host will judge who did it best!

A few examples of real requests:
“I had a very interesting request this week. A client from Saudi Arabia wants to break the world record set in the Philippines for a fireworks display, so he requested a rehearsal. I sourced the fireworks from China, had an explosive pyrotechnical expert flown in from the UK and stationed water tankers, just in case, along the Dubai Creek. All went as planned so he will have an amazing New Year celebration.”
“My client’s daughter is interested in modeling, so I arranged not only for her VIP attendance at the Essential Herzigova fashion show in Kazakhstan, but also for her to appear on the runway as one of the featured models.”

La Dernière Porte/The Last Door is a 26-minute adventure game based on Escape Games during which 3 contestants have to find and solve puzzles within a limited time in order to win prizes.
The three friends have to think, communicate and work together. The experience is firmly immersive, with the host replaced by a voice-over (the Game Master) who reminds them of the rules of the game and the stakes, as well as giving them advice if they chose to use a joker to get help in a room.
Each program is a new mission, with each mission based on a specific world (Pirates, Far West, Medieval, Egypt…) in which stories are told. This gives young viewers the opportunity to learn while having fun!
After a short introduction, the contestants are invited to enter the time machine in order to get briefed on the mission that awaits them.
Contestants progress through 3 successive rooms. In each room, the kids have 8 minutes to find clues that will lead them to a puzzle they need to solve. 
Clues mean hidden objects in each room that allow them, individually or assembled together, to access the puzzle (keys, magnet wire, rod, etc.). A puzzle is a scroll the contestants have to decipher or solve.
Camera work breaks the rules of children’s studio based game shows, with GoPros bringing the audience into the middle of the action with all the immediacy of taking part in a video game.
Puzzles are also submitted to the viewers as soon as they are found so they can solve them at home. 
The quicker the contestants solve the puzzles in the rooms, the more bonus points they earn and the closer they get to winning the main prize.
Prizes range from an electronic skateboard, to tablet computers, and smaller prizes for taking part in the game.
