Eye, titled Queer Eye: We’re in Japan!
• The Fab Five - Antoni Porowski (Food & Wine), Bobby Berk (Interior
Design), Jonathan Van Ness (Grooming), Karamo Brown (Culture),
and Tan France (Fashion) - will bring their expertise to Tokyo,
working with local tastemakers to make-better a new group of

will forge relationships with four Japanese men and women from
different backgrounds and cultures who were selected from a
wide group of applicants and nominations.
• “In just a year since we launched season one, Queer Eye
has become a global phenomenon once again and the Fab Five are
truly the ambassadors of self-care and compassion that the world
needs now more than ever. Filming in Japan is a wonderful opportunity
for us to work with four deserving heroes that will help showcase
the incredible traditions and customs of their country.” [Comments

Eye]
