Gokaliscious

It is always a pleasuere to work with Gok Wan - celebrity stylist. For some reason we call him Gokaliscious at the office?!

He is cute, clever, friendly and quite entertaining which is a combination most celebrities don't have (they are usually just pretty and dumb!).

We had a media day with him yesterday and he was lovely to work with, once again. I love his new hairdo and the tan he got from his time out in the sun when presenting the T4 on the Beach program on Sunday. There are still chances for young pups (16-21year olds) to get a space on his celebrity fashion masterclass - click here for more info on how to get invovled. As part of the day, he will be giving his group a styling challenge along Oxford Street which will be exciting! www.prem21.co.uk

Quote from Gokaliscious

“There are lots of options for young people to build a successful career in their industry of choice.” said Wan, “However, if you’re young and starting to make money, it’s a good idea to start thinking about saving for the future. Nobody’s young forever. That’s why I think the work Alliance & Leicester Bank is doing with today’s youth is important to help them start their careers." Gok Wan.

A bit of Gok on the radio

Last week we had a Radio Day with Gok Wan for the launch of new Alliance & Leicester Premier 21 Campaign, it was an early start for all - but it turned out to be really successful.

Gok was a true professional, and although he made the odd innuendo and talked about his bum hanging out of his pants, he was really good at talking about the Premier 21 Account’s Master Class Day with him. He even mentioned the research; that 52 per cent of youngsters who leave school do so because they want to get a job where they don't need a degree. All morning radio hosts seemed really happy with the interviews.

He talked a lot about his early life and how he got into fashion; apparently the first time he'd spoken about that. All in all we did all have a giggle, especially when he was asked for a Summer Style Tip and came out with, "Don't forget girls, if you're going to the beach this summer, remember to trim your bush" - and let's not forget the naked picture of a naked woman on her breakfast table, which they wanted Gok to comment on. It turned out to be one of the radio presenters for a later show. I'm still laughing now!

Worth the early start, although I felt a bit sorry for Gok as he had to run off to a shoot and knew he would be working til quite late at night.

Looking forward to the next press day though - hopefully equally as entertaining!

If you are 16-21 year you can apply to spend the day with him through www.prem21.co.uk

Gok a liscious

Happy Monday from The Lounge.

The Lounge recently filmed a podcast with Gok for the Prem 21 Campaign, in which he opens up about his life, career, top tips and speaks about his experiences growing up, which he has never really spoken about before. Gok was very down to earth and a really nice guy – he looked every bit the fashionista we know and love! For anyone interested in breaking into the fashion industry or just love Gok you will enjoy the podcast….

The campaign is pretty cool. A&L are offering 21 young people the chance to spend a whole day with Gok at one of London’s most famous fashion haunts, then he will take them for a luxurious lunch and give them a styling challenge on the streets of London! For those that don't get a chance to meet Gok, there are some amazing prizes on offer such as a shopping spree, photo shoot & signed Gok goodies. If you are interested you can find all of the information on www.prem21.com

I will keep the updates coming…
