Posted on May 17th, 2012 in Press Cuttings

Gok Wan's Tips On Finding The Perfect SpecsEverybody’s favourite fashion stylist Gok Wan shares his tips on looking fashionable and chic while wearing specs this winter, including finding the perfect frame for all face shapes.

As part of his mission to transform women from drab to fab, Gok recently teamed up with Specsavers to create his debut collection of retro glasses to help spec-wearers stay ahead in the fashion field.

“The GW collection is about using fashion glasses as a creative statement piece for the face. We’ve used some great techniques to make this range stand out, such as striped wood effect finishes, bottle green etching and jewel-coloured marbling. The collection has a very retro, iconic feel, with influences from the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s,” says Gok.

Gok believes that spec-wearers no longer need to hide behind their glasses but in fact start flaunting them. Here are his top five tips for selecting the perfect pair of frames:

AllAboutYou.com: Gok with a wok – yes, he loves food as much as fashion

Gok with a wok - yes, he loves food as much as fashionA revealing five-minute interview

Why have you written a Chinese cookbook?

Gok says: It’s a book that accompanies my new TV series. These are all my own Chinese family recipes, the dishes I enjoyed while growing up and the ones I love. I grew up around food. I was trained, wok in hand, by my father, working in his Chinese takeaway and doing front of house. I wanted to debunk the myth that Chinese food is difficult and complicated and you need a multitude of tools. It’s not and you don’t. With my book, all the ingredients are available widely in supermarkets – there are just a handful which you’ll need to go to a Chinese supermarket for – and I show you that there are just five key utensils that are essential. All the recipes are really, really quick and I guarantee that once you’ve tried them you’ll be cooking Chinese for the rest of your life.
