France’s charming anecdotes and candid opinions exhibit no shortage of humor, and fans of the TV personality will revel in the peek into his colorful history.
The chapters, which can shift abruptly between themes (a chapter on mouthwash is followed by a chapter on Bollywood), are each marked with appealing illustrations that highlight the stylist’s chic sense of flair. Peppering his memoir with fashion advice that sometimes borders on harsh (“If you’re wearing Crocs and you’re worried about being single, all you have to do is look down at your feet”), France gives fans of the reality series an inside look at what goes into his fashion choices on the show (including the “French tuck” style of wearing a shirt he popularized). With his trademark wit, humor, and radical compassion, Tan reveals what it was like to grow up gay in a traditional Muslim family, as one of the few people of color in Doncaster, England. In covering his rise to Emmy Award–winning stardom from his beginnings as one of the few Pakistani children in his small town in South Yorkshire in the 1980s (and the bullying he endured there), France writes of his misguided dream of being a Bollywood star (he can’t act or dance) and of launching a successful clothing brand before receiving a call from a talent manager for Queer Eye. Naturally Tan by Tan France In this heartfelt, funny, touching memoir, Tan France, star of Netflixs smash-hit QUEER EYE, tells his origin story for the first time. France, the fashion guru of Netflix’s Queer Eye, loves an “I told you so,” as he makes very clear in this feisty and affecting memoir.
