The Clothes Show was first broadcast on 13 October 1986, with Breakfast Time's Selina Scott and designer Jeff Banks as its first hosts.
Selina and Jeff were later joined by Caryn Franklin (a former Fashion Editor and co-Editor of international style magazine i-D), who took over as Banks' main co-host after Scott left.
The programme continued on the BBC until April 1998, with other presenters over the years including Margherita Taylor, Tim Vincent, Richard Jobson and Brenda Emmanus.
[5][6] From 1987 onwards the theme tune was an excerpt from Arthur Baker's remix of the Pet Shop Boys' song "In The Night" which can be found on the 1986 Disco album.
On 7 August 2006, The Sun reported that The Clothes Show was to be resurrected after eight years and would be shown on UKTV Style, hosted by Louise Redknapp, Caryn Franklin and Brendan Courtney.
