A monochrome palette ensures this collection will see you into next season

Gok Wan is dressing ladies for the reminder of summer with a Spanish flair and a strong tale of powerful femininity.

In his latest range for TU at Sainsbury’s, Gok has reinterpreted his signature figure-enhancing styles and introduced a dramatic masculine twist, creating a series of fearless looks that will see you through the last of summer days and seamlessly into the next season.

Embracing the strength and independence of the contemporary working woman, the capsule collection is a story of statement separates. Taking centre stage as the hero of the Gok fr TU range is undoubtedly the waistline, with garments designed to celebrate and accentuate the female form at every given opportunity.

Gok says: “This collection is inspired by the strength and versatility of the contemporary woman, reflecting the many different roles that they fulfil in their everyday lives.

“Clean lives and structure, coupled with romantic baroque prints and soft, luxurious fabrics take this collection to a whole new level of sophistication.”

Unapologetically glamorous and feminine, details such as delicate fringing and flamenco inspired frills reflec the Spanish culture, whilst androgynous tuxedo tailoring creates a structural silhouette.

The crisp-cut, fitted Bolero Jacket is the perfect throw-on addition to any outfit, embodying body traditional Spanish and wearable contemporary style. Plus, it’s something you’ll find yourself grabbing over and over as we develop a chill in the air.

Evoking the sense of whitewashed walls and the intense heat of the Mediterranean, the colour palette has a clean monochrome focus. Luxe prints and ornate textures are key, with romantic baroque patterns and intricate lace featuring on transitional wardrobe staples such as the Jacquard Mix Circle Skirt, Lace Colour Block Shell Top and Cropped Print Trouser.

The 34 piece collection includes a versatile mix of elegant eveningwear, beautiful basics and chic workwear. Gok for Tu is available at over 200 stores nationwide and Collection 14 will be in stores from 26^th August.
