Tanveer Wasim "Tan" France (né Safdar; born 20 April 1983) is a British-American fashion designer, entrepreneur, and television personality.

[12] France was born Tanveer Wasim Safdar in Doncaster on 20 April 1983, the son of Muslim Pakistani immigrant parents.

[13] In his memoir, he discussed his feelings of alienation growing up in Doncaster in a household where homosexuality was viewed negatively, the lack of representation in media of his community (and of LGBTQ Pakistanis in particular), and his personal experiences of physical and verbal racism as both a child and an adult.

"[14][2] France's interest in fashion began at a young age, inspired by the Disney-themed clothing that was made in his grandparents' denim factory in Bury, Greater Manchester, where he spent time working.

[18] France began work as a designer and director for Zara,[15] Selfridges, and Bershka, among others, to develop an understanding of the wholesale, retail, and manufacturing elements of the fashion industry.

[15][20] The brand included apparel designed to meet Mormon clothing guidelines, as the group represents a significant population in Utah, where the company is based.

This started his journey as a media figure through his role as the fashion expert on the rebooted series Queer Eye, which premiered in February 2018.

[25] He also appeared in 2020 in a special charity edition of The Great British Bake Off to raise funds for Stand Up To Cancer, and was the episode's winner.

He married pediatric nurse and illustrator Rob France in 2007,[35][36] originally in London, and again in New York City following the legalization of same-sex marriage in the US.

The memoir starts with his childhood in England where episodes of racism – such as having to run back to school to avoid getting beaten up by racist thugs – were everyday occurrences.
