[Gok Wan] Today is gonna be a fashion first for me, I'm about to style Di.
Now, she's not had her sight for thirty seven years so
I'm gonna attempt for the first time to put some light back into her darkness.
I've brought Di on her first ever trip to one of Europe's biggest shopping emporiums.
If I shout like that, you get a sense of echo. Can you hear that?
[Di] Yes, I can
[Gok] My Gok pod's at the ready, so time to show Di that she's definitely not fat and square.
This exercise is to prove to you that every single woman comes in different body shapes, alright?
And women now look totally different to how they did in the 1970s
[Di] My body shape has evolved also. I thought it had evolved into something big and dumpy,
when actually it's evolved into something curvy and sexy!
[Gok] Absolutely! Right, what we need to do now is dress those curves
and make you look and feel amazing. I just want you to caress your own *** alright.
Can you feel how close your *** are together?
[Di] Yes, I can
[Gok] Before, they were tucked in your toes weren't they! But no longer.
Now, you are wearing a corset, alright? Just cinching you right in,
creating a really clean silhouette. Now, underneath those,
you've got a pair of power shorts on,
and if you feel the density just there, all it does is even out those creases.
[Di] Wow, I really go in at the waist!
[Gok] You do go in at the waist!
[Di] I want to dress this body now, like it should be!
[Gok] Absolutely, we wanna get your bangers out don't we?!
Absolutely, jig them up and down. Feel those.
Look at those bad boys!
I need Di to really imagine the clothes I'm styling her in,
so details we take for granted, I'm gonna need to explain.
So these are the perfect pair of fitting jeans for you.
Pull them right up.
Now, this cut is called a boot cut. A boot cut jean basically flairs out from the knee.
What is does, is it not only gives you extra optical height, by making your legs look longer,
it also completely accentuates all those fabulous curves.
[Di] I can't get over how that goes in. When I do like that, it feels so narrow!
[Gok] So this top now, because it's all about texture with you,
so this top I would say is in a beautiful mocha colour.
On the front of it, you've got a beautiful piece of almost embroidery anglaise.
Details and volume on sleeves make this scoop neck top a key piece for this season.
This scoop neck, what it's done it's just opened up this entire neck line
and it's showing me some cheeky flash of the shoulders, which makes it instantly feminine,
it cuts right in to the smallest part of your waist.
[Di] Oh my god amazing
[Gok] So, the next layer my darling is gonna be a cardigan.
Now, I want you to feel this my darling so that you can get the knit.
It's quite a chunky knit, it's got a bat wing
and it's got a three quarter length sleeve in a duck-egg blue.
Right, so if you imagine a duck-egg blue, it's like a really light, beautiful blue.
[Di] That's not a colour I would have thought of. I'm just trying to picture that.
[Gok] With your blue eyes and this beautiful silver-grey and dark fleck hair that you've got,
it's kind of almost mimicking the cardigan. Do you see how that all marries together?
Can you imagine in your head?
With a few finishing touches, Di's looking divine.
She's no longer the square old lady she thought she was.
Now this, my darling, is the reinvention, of a perfect Di, day outfit.
Sophisticated, classy and beautiful.
[Di] And it feels, bloomin' lovely!
