Simply Gok Wan Lingerie Blog

Gok clearly had his work cut out during recent filming for Fashion Fix with celebrity guest Cilla Black.

In his show Gok Wan advocates getting designer style outfits without the designer price tags by savvy shopping on the high street. Yet Cilla confessed to flying over to America just to buy jeans! Not exactly credit crunch shopping.

Trust Gok to sum it up in true Gok Wan style:

 ”Basically that’s about £5,200 for one pair of jeans. You’ve got the most expensive arse in the industry!” 

Remember, one of the best ways to make your clothes look good and give old outfits a new lease of life is to invest in good underwear.

Try the Gok Wan Curve Controller bodyshaper for an all over great shape that’s comfy enough to wear every day.

And yes, Gok Wan did manage to get Cilla into a pair of high street jeans - of course!

I love Janet Street Porter. I think TV (and the world in general) needs more women out there with big personalities who aren’t afraid to say what they think and don’t care what people say.

So when she agreed to a Gok Wan fashion makeover I knew it was going to be good!

In this article she talks us through what it was like to work with Gok Wan. He gave her wardrobe a good going over, then took her high street shopping to find an outfit for her to wear to the Brits.

This was the end result. - I think she looks fab. Good work Gok!

And did Gok find anything scary lurking in JSP’s wardrobe? Of course he did!

“I’d got out a few of my best outfits from the past ten years, but before he could shout ‘Go, girl!’ he was rummaging in the cupboard on the hot scent of a fully fledged fashion disaster.

He plucked out a silver leather mini dress and said: ‘What’s this? You must have looked like a jacket potato on Bonfire Night!’ “

Gok Wan fans will be thrilled to read these two fab new interviews with Gok.

The first one is from the Daily Record. In it he talks about his new series of Gok’s Fashion Fix and how he got his hands on the wardrobes of Janet Street Porter and Kirstie Allsopp for the series.

He also gives his thoughts on Trinny and Susannah:

“I bumped into Trinny when I filmed Celebrity Apprentice. I had never met her before. I called her a posh bird, but jokes aside, I thought she was very kind, sincere and accommodating.

“People want me to have a big row with them, and it’s not my style.

“I wish I could say Trinny came along with her big Gucci handbag and then slapped me around the face when I met her - but she didn’t! She was lovely.”

Ah Gok, kind as ever!

He also completed the Guardian’s ‘This much I know’ interview.

Fave quote:

“People think you go home and be a celeb, sipping Laurent-Perrier and listening to classical music. You don’t. You go home and wash some pants in the sink.”

Classic!

The producers of Gok’s Fashion Fix are looking for women to take part in series 2. According to the source, they’re looking for women in Northamptonshire but it may be open to women everywhere and that’s just the local spin on it. And they’re particularly looking for plus size women.

This is what a representaive from the show had to say:

“We know that looking good can make you feel great, but not everyone gets it right when it comes to fashion.

“We want to help guide the great women of Great Britain, who’ve fallen foul in the fashion stakes and just don’t know how to dress for their shape and size.

“If you’re a larger lady, who wants to be fashionable, but doesn’t know how, then get in touch. Email or write to us and describe your fashion dilemma and why you’re worthy of the mother of all make-overs.”

If you would like to take part then write to: Gok’s Team, 5th Floor, Endemol, Shepherds Building Central, Charecroft Way, London, W14 0EE.

Hurray for Gok Wan, helping all women look gorgeous… yet again
