Hey guys
Summer has at last come to say hello! And not a moment too soon! My new collection gets full inspirational from the incredible 1960s and I can’t think of a better era to bring some summer love and happiness to us all!
Take a look at the full collection on Sainsbury’s website. Hope you love the collection as much as I do!

It was filmed on Weds night and was huge fun! It’s a rude one, I warn you all!

Here’s a video of me talking about my Spring collection for Sainsburys Tu and how it comes from my 90s roots – an homage to when I first fell in love with fashion – and also it’s so current! Hope you enjoy it! Gok x
With an impressive five sell-out collections for TU at Sainsbury’s under his studded belt, flamboyant fashion expert Gok Wan is back with a sixth stylish offering.
It is clear that the stylist knows a thing or two when it comes to women’s fashion – last season one of his red wrap dress sold every 24 seconds and the thigh-slimming black jodhpurs in his third capsule collection sold one every minute – but his latest line shows a lot more cool than the previous designs for the supermarket brand.
Gok Wan, the fashion stylist and television presenter, adores Paris for its art, culture, food and the Galeries Lafayette department store.
Why Paris?
I adore the shopping, the art and culture, and, of course, the food. I love the idea of going somewhere that is so different from England, but is only a train ride away. And I think Parisians’ reputation for being rude is unfounded: I’ve always found them welcoming without being over the top. They just allow you to do your thing.
Anything special I should pack?
Sunglasses, regardless of the time of year. Paris is effortlessly chic and the moment you put on a pair of shades, you become just that bit more stylish. I love watching Parisians going about their business, invariably wearing a pair of sunglasses.

As soon as we saw the trailer for Gok Wan’s new show, Gok’s Style Secrets, we knew it would be a hit. But y’know what, it wasn’t just entertaining, it was downright educational
On the first episode of Gok’s Style Secrets, we saw super-stylist Gok Wan meet 33-year-old Zoe Burgess – a nursery nurse who lived at home with her mum and has never had a long-term relationship. We watched as Gok transformed the single lady into a bonafide babe – but it wasn’t easy.
He’s an expert style and how to boost your confidence by wearing the right clothes and make-up but now Gok Wan is on a mission to help women feel good ‘from within’.
The TV presenter believes people should make 2013 the year to ‘feel good’ – and they can do this without spending a fortune by making a number of simple lifestyle changes.
‘It’s all very well doing your hair and make-up, but if you really want to be at your best, and feeling really good, you have to start by looking after yourself on the inside,’ he said. ‘If you get that right then everything else falls in to place. You know what I’m talking about – that extra bit of fabulousness!’
Gok Wan is known for making us look good on the outside, but now he’s encouraging us to take care of ourselves on the inside too. He talks to us about diet, fitness and New Year’s Resolutions
Tell us about your new campaign that’s launched this New Year with Activia.
It’s the brand new campaign for 2013 and it’s all about feeling good from within, the campaign is completely on point with everything I’ve been doing for the last 10 years on television. It’s about getting women to feel good about themselves and not succumbing to the pressures of yo-yo dieting, hard-core campaigns or the plastic surgery side, it’s all about treating yourself and making sure that you’re ok and looking after yourself and everything else will fall into place.
Why’s it important that women take time for themselves and make themselves feel good on the inside?
I think that women are under more pressure than they have ever been under, and that’s down to lots of things like the economy, work, keeping up with your lifestyle, families and so forth and I’ve found that a lot of the women that I’ve worked with over the years the person who comes last in their lives is themselves because they spend so much time caring about other people. That is brilliant and that is great, I do believe in looking after the people around you but at the same time, health and wellbeing is about looking after yourself. It isn’t about having expensive massages or going to weekend spas it’s about you looking after your standard of living and your health is a massive part of that. As everybody knows I don’t promote diets, I don’t tell people that they should lose weight, what I do do is I tell women that they have to look after themselves, whether that’s a manicure once a month or eating the right food which gives them a level of energy to get on with their lives or being kind to themselves and putting themselves first for once.
