Tan studied fashion at Doncaster College and later worked for Zara and Selfridges before being made company director at Shade Clothing.
In 2011, he launched women's clothing line, Kingdom & State, and he now lives in Utah in the United States after officially moving across the pond in 2015.

Tan was born on April 20, 1983, which currently makes him 35 years old.
His parents gave him the name Tanweer Wasim Safdar but he later changed this to the catchy Tan France.
Tan’s Netflix show sees five gay men give straight men a makeover.
The star is said to have had no idea that the reboot of the 2003 Bravo series, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, would become a hit.
Tan said to Vogue: “People think we are lying when we say that, but there truly was no way of knowing just how massive this would become in a heartbeat.
“I thought it would be a niche programme that girls and gays would get behind. We couldn’t have been more wrong.”
Who is Tan France’s husband?
Tan met illustrator Rob France in the US and quickly realised he was the one.
Tan was raised a Muslim in the UK and Rob was raised a Mormon in Wyoming, and the pair have fused their beliefs.
