Style supremo Gok Wan detoxes the wardrobes of women who have too many clothes but nothing to wear. Since having a baby, 33 year old NHS manager Lisa from Burton On Trent has formed an unhealthy obsession with black clothes – all 179 items of them. Gok turns up for a surprise visit at her home to show her how to buy less and fall back in love with colour.

Calendar Girls star, Lynda Bellingham, challenges Gok to show her how to look sensational now that she’s reached sixty. And the Rotheram roadtesters swing into action for a supermarket sweep to find the perfect blouse for sizes 16-28.

Well the honorary woman Gok is back, fixing fashion like there’s no tomorrow and he’s clearly trying to get a new catchphrase to catch on, it being, “Shop less but wear more” adding, “OK ladies, hold on to your hats, scarves, coats and knickers… credit-crunch couture is here!”

Maybe he was expecting this spending revolution to bring with it a strong wind or something but unless you happen to be one of those multi-armed Goddesses, hanging on to that lot all at once is going to be tricksome…

“You don’t need to go kerching to look breathtakingly bling” he exclaimed happily.

He’s a poet and he does know it…

So we had a parade of Gok’s fashion finds including a handbag that was a snip at just £70… I think the last time I bought one it was about £5 on a market, however, a fashion victim I’m not it has to be said.

I really like Gok Wan but to be honest, his shows are pretty much all the same, they just feature different neon-like-colourful clothing and a variety of different women to try them on… it’s just a tad ‘samey’ surely? Read more & comment »

“Buy less, wear it more” is fashion stylist Gok Wan’s timely new mantra, as each week Gok solves the wardrobe worries of women with closets fit to burst but nothing to wear. In Penzance, care-worker Dawn is desperate to get it right in the fashion stakes but keeps getting it spectacularly wrong. Gok shows her how to shop for a few key pieces that she can wear every day of the week. A team of larger ladies from Rotherham solve fashion problems by testing high street ranges in sizes 16-28. Plus Gok rummages through the many wardrobes of Janet Street Porter.
