Queer Eye fashion expert Tan France says there's nothing frivolous about fashion. It impacts how you carry yourself and your self-esteem. For Tan, fashion changed his life. He remembers seeing a bolt of fabric in his grandfather's factory that inspired a vision — of moving away, of marrying a man he loves and of embracing his true identity.
