53 Extra has been going strong for two whole seasons. As a third season gets underway tonight (21:00 CAT, Channel 128), we thought we’d go down memory lane and remind you of some of our best moments thus far…Fashion is a big part of any urban culture and the 53 Extra presenters are among some of the best styled people we see on TV. The show has covered a wide range of fashion shows and interviewed various designers. A recent addition to the show is an insert with the fashion police giving us fashion tips.
