The Fab Five. They are: An interior designer, a fashion stylist, a chef, a beauty guru and someone we like to call the "concierge of cool" - who is responsible for all things hip, including music and pop culture.Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, created by David Collins and David Metzler, stars five openly gay men, each of whom fills a particular function as part of the "Fab Five" makeover team.

The show is produced by Scout Productions. Each episode features a new candidate (usually a straight/heterosexual man) ready to be culturally transformed by the "Fab Five". "Gay or straight, we all want to look good, feel good and have great shoes," said Collins before the show's premiere in July 2003.

At a press conference after the series' debut, Queer Eye's Food and wine connoisseur Ted Allen recalled that the audition notice for the show stated that producers wanted it to be "a cross between a make-over show, Will & Grace, and Esquire magazine." They liked the service advice that Esquire had and the sensibility, the tone and the wry humor. In a typical episode, the "Fab Five" arrive at the candidate's residence to assess his "level of style." The cast ransacks the home, with a running "style" commentary on everything they find. In their investigation, each expert attempts to understand the unique preferences of the candidate in order to best advise him on how to improve.
