Gok for TU at Sainsbury’s second collection released

Posted on November 25th, 2011 in Fashion,News

After such amazing support for my debut collection I thought it was only right that I get straight back to my sketch pad and put together another collection ready for the festive season! You will find some of the classic cuts and shapes from the first collection mixed with some new prints, colours and party numbers to make you all look and feel fabulous.

As ever I want my girls to experience the same core principles which will run throughout all my collections, and that is about you feeling confident, stylish and positive whatever your budget, size or shape!

My second collection is available in 200 Sainsbury’s stores in sizes 8-22, with pieces starting at just £20!

Enjoy my darlings x

Where do I start… what an amazing/terrifying/fulfilling/brilliant time I had last Friday on Children In Need. It really does deserve the spotlight right now with all the amazing work they do for the children of this country! Thank you to everyone who has given me support and sent me kind words it really helped me get through the night. Give me a pair of shoes and I can do anything… but give me a song sheet and my legs turn to jelly- so thank you!

It really isn’t too late to help. You can donate online or get involved in any one of the thousands of local initiatives that are happening around the country!

Thanks again everyone.

Big hugs and kisses!
Love your Auntie Gok!

Mail Online: Gok’s back! How To Look Good Naked stylist launches second collection for Sainsbury’s

Posted on November 17th, 2011 in Press Cuttings

Gok's back! How To Look Good Naked stylist launches second collection for Sainsbury'sJust six week after launching his first collection for Sainsbury’s, Gok Wan is back.

The How To Look Good Naked star has unveiled another range for the supermarket chain’s own label, TU.

Sainsbury’s recorded its best ever clothing sales on the day of the original ‘figure-fixing’ launch last month.

And the new collection looks set to fly off the rails.

Retaning some key designs from the first, it also introduced new statement pieces in rich colours and luxe fabrics – each designed to ‘mix and match’ into a variety of outfits for different occasions.

Support wear including the tummy flattening slips have been made slightly bigger after women strained to squeeze into the undergarments.

The best selling product, the ‘Gok for TU’ Ultimate Wrap Dress in red with built-in sculpting slip, makes a return in navy and pink.

The £40 red design sold at a rate of one every 24 seconds on the first day.

Gok backs search for bone marrow donorsFashion guru Gok Wan is urging his home city to back a campaign to find a bone marrow donor for a teenage cancer sufferer.

Bethany Mickleburgh, 14, desperately needs a bone marrow transplant after being diagnosed with leukaemia for a third time.

A special clinic to find potential stem cell donors is being held today at the Tigers Stadium, in Leicester, from midday to 4pm.

Bethany’s family hopes 2,000 people will attend and give a saliva sample to join the donor register – but TV star Gok is calling for an even bigger turnout.
