-with her obsession for vintage.

-who needs our stylist's advice.

0:00:070:00:10

-wardrobe of a city gentleman.

0:00:110:00:17

-RADIO - "Good evening,

-ladies and gentlemen.

0:00:420:00:44

-RADIO - "Welcome to the show..."

0:00:440:00:46

-Karl Davies

-is the Secretary of BBC Wales.

0:00:500:00:53

-He has a reputation for expressing

-his personality through his clothes.

0:00:540:01:00

-They reflect his intelligence,

-his humour...

0:01:010:01:04

-..and his willingness

-to break a few rules.

0:01:050:01:08

-I wasn't interested in clothes

-when I was in my teens.

0:01:190:01:23

-Clothes certainly weren't

-a big thing for us as a family.

0:01:250:01:29

-As you'd expect,

-my mother liked to dress well...

0:01:290:01:31

-..but it wasn't an important part

-of our culture as a family.

0:01:320:01:36

-The only relative of mine who took

-particular pride in her clothes...

0:01:370:01:42

-..was my grandmother,

-who lived on Anglesey.

0:01:430:01:46

-How could she, the daughter

-of a farmhand in remote Anglesey...

0:01:470:01:51

-..own such fabulous clothes?

0:01:510:01:53

-It puzzled me.

0:01:540:01:55

-Well, all her brothers were older

-than her and most were sailors.

0:01:550:02:00

-When they were abroad...

0:02:000:02:02

-..they'd buy something

-for their little sister to wear.

0:02:020:02:06

-That's where she got

-her wonderful clothes.

0:02:070:02:10

-Maybe a bit of her passion for

-clothes has been passed on to me.

0:02:100:02:14

-Tell me about this idea

-of standing out from the crowd.

0:02:150:02:19

-I was a young fogey, when I was in

-my teens and when I was a student.

0:02:190:02:25

-I bought this jacket from Oxfam

-in Rhyl, a quarter of a century ago.

0:02:250:02:30

-It cost me 50p back then!

0:02:300:02:32

-I was at the National Eisteddfod

-in Lampeter twenty years ago...

0:02:320:02:37

-..and I attended a charity auction.

0:02:370:02:39

-This bow tie was for sale.

0:02:400:02:41

-It belonged to Gwenallt, the poet.

0:02:420:02:44

-For some reason,

-I bid for it and I bought it.

0:02:450:02:48

-I started to wear it

-and it always attracted attention.

0:02:480:02:52

-That's when I first realized...

0:02:520:02:55

-..being a bit different or

-a bit eccentric has its advantages.

0:02:550:02:59

-The more I do it,

-the more I enjoy it.

0:02:590:03:02

-It became some sort of signature...

0:03:040:03:07

-..and people started to call me

-"Karl Bow Tie."

0:03:070:03:10

-My colleagues may disagree with me

-but I think I'm very organized.

0:03:170:03:22

-I most definitely

-have morning rituals.

0:03:230:03:26

-Standing in front of a mirror

-each morning...

0:03:260:03:29

-..watching myself tie my bow tie

-is an important part of my rituals.

0:03:290:03:35

-Once I've finished

-my morning routine...

0:03:350:03:38

-..I head off on my bike.

0:03:380:03:40

-The first time I'd been on a bike

-for twenty years...

0:03:410:03:44

-..I was going to my friends' house

-and a car ran me over.

0:03:440:03:48

-Fortunately,

-I just fell off my bike...

0:03:480:03:51

-..and was scratched and bruised

-but nothing more.

0:03:510:03:55

-I reached my friends' house.

0:03:560:03:58

-"Where's your helmet?

-Buy one tomorrow!" said one of them.

0:03:580:04:02

-Then, he disappeared

-from the room...

0:04:020:04:05

-..and he returned clutching

-a very bright, yellow jacket.

0:04:050:04:10

-"Wear this

-and no-one can miss you!" he said.

0:04:100:04:13

-He worked for the council

-sewage department...

0:04:130:04:17

-..and he wore the fluorescent jacket

-for work!

0:04:170:04:20

-When people see me riding my bike

-every day...

0:04:200:04:23

-..they see a bow tie and a sewage

-worker's fluorescent jacket!

0:04:240:04:28

-They're not sure

-if I'm a professional musician...

0:04:280:04:32

-..or someone

-who'll clean their drains!

0:04:320:04:35

-Are you sentimental

-about your clothes?

0:04:540:04:57

-Yes, I'm terribly sentimental

-about my clothes.

0:04:570:05:01

-Many things I own

-were given to me by my friends.

0:05:010:05:04

-Well, Karl,

-you're clearly highly organized.

0:05:070:05:11

-Yes, I am organized. I cope better

-when things are orderly.

0:05:120:05:18

-My old headmaster's mantra

-had a lasting effect on me.

0:05:180:05:22

-I often think of him

-when I check how organized I am.

0:05:230:05:26

-"Organize your world."

-That's what Desmond Healy would say.

0:05:260:05:31

-He was the headmaster

-of Ysgol Glan Clwyd.

0:05:310:05:34

-Mr Healy, I'm organizing my world!

0:05:340:05:37

-Let's start

-with some of your informal shirts.

0:05:370:05:41

-These are two

-of my favourite shirts.

0:05:420:05:45

-My friends refer to these

-as my deckchair shirts.

0:05:450:05:49

-If I happened to lie down

-on a beach, wearing either shirt...

0:05:500:05:54

-..people would be likely

-to sit on me!

0:05:540:05:57

-You could come in very handy!

0:05:570:05:59

-You could come in very handy!

-

-Yes, indeed.

0:05:590:06:01

-I feel I add a touch of sunshine

-to the world when I wear it.

0:06:010:06:05

-May I be so bold as to have

-a rummage in your drawers?

0:06:180:06:22

-I wouldn't let just anyone do it

-but you may!

0:06:220:06:25

-I have a few interesting pairs

-of socks in there.

0:06:260:06:29

-This is my favourite pair -

-pink, yellow and white.

0:06:300:06:34

-They're like ice cream, which really

-goes well with my deckchair shirts!

0:06:340:06:40

-I choose my suit, my shirt,

-my socks and my bow tie or tie...

0:06:530:06:58

-..before I go to bed at night.

0:06:590:07:02

-I'm not fully awake

-for the first hour of every day...

0:07:030:07:06

-..so it's essential to be prepared.

0:07:070:07:10

-I'm not sure

-if it's linked to the fact...

0:07:100:07:13

-..I've only recently gained

-confidence in the way I dress.

0:07:150:07:20

-If I haven't planned it

-the previous night...

0:07:200:07:23

-..I'm not really confident...

0:07:240:07:26

-..I can choose an outfit when I'm

-only half awake at 7.30am...

0:07:260:07:30

-..to ensure that I'm well turned out

-for the day.

0:07:310:07:34

-Having said that...

0:07:340:07:36

-..being prepared frees up

-some valuable time in the mornings.

0:07:360:07:41

-I fill my time with more interesting

-things than choosing clothes!

0:07:410:07:46

-You spend a lot of time in Italy.

0:07:460:07:48

-You spend a lot of time in Italy.

-

-Yes and I'm fond of the country.

0:07:480:07:50

-My partner lives there and

-it's my duty to visit him regularly.

0:07:500:07:55

-My love of Italy means I tend to

-cook lasagne for my dinner guests.

0:07:590:08:04

-People tell me

-my lasagne is quite good.

0:08:040:08:07

-I cooked it for an Italian...

0:08:080:08:10

-..and he reckoned it was the best

-lasagne he'd had, north of the Alps.

0:08:100:08:15

-He gave me a special present -

-a chef's hat.

0:08:150:08:18

-Printed on the hat, in Italian,

-is "A real Italian cook".

0:08:180:08:22

-"Vero Cuoco Italiano".

0:08:230:08:25

-When I carry one of my lasagnes in

-here, I always wear my chef's hat.

0:08:260:08:31

-I want my dinner guests to know...

0:08:320:08:34

-..a real Italian cook

-prepared their lasagne!

0:08:340:08:37

-Looking to the future, now that

-you've grown in confidence...

0:08:480:08:54

-..and you're happy to experiment

-with different clothes...

0:08:540:08:59

-..will you move on

-to different styles...

0:09:000:09:03

-..or will you still wear bow ties

-when you're 60, 70 and 80 years old?

0:09:030:09:08

-As I started out as a young fogey,

-a quarter of a century ago...

0:09:080:09:13

-..it's a style which will serve me

-well when I'm an old fogey too!

0:09:150:09:20

-I may not have to change my style!

0:09:200:09:23

-I'll never look like Posh Spice,

-so why try to shop like her?

0:10:020:10:07

-I'm fashion conscious

-and I love clothes...

0:10:080:10:13

-..but money and time

-are in short supply.

0:10:130:10:16

-I think I've lost my way.

0:10:170:10:20

-Since you've been a mother,

-have you ignored your own style?

0:10:300:10:35

-Yes. Absolutely.

0:10:350:10:37

-Before I had the children,

-I was Megan...

0:10:370:10:40

-..but now I'm my children's mother.

0:10:400:10:44

-I've lost my identity.

0:10:440:10:47

-Every mother can say that.

0:10:470:10:49

-I'm never plain Megan.

-I'm not a person.

0:10:490:10:52

-That's my situation.

0:10:520:10:54

-What about your shopping habits?

0:10:540:10:57

-Where do you go?

-How often and how much do you spend?

0:10:570:11:00

-I don't have any shopping habits!

0:11:010:11:03

-When I'm in Tesco or Asda, I'll grab

-something cheap and cheerful.

0:11:030:11:08

-I've lost my way.

-I've lost my confidence.

0:11:080:11:11

-I was a size 10, before I had kids.

-That's changed.

0:11:120:11:15

-I love being a mother of three

-but I want Megan back too.

0:11:150:11:19

-Stylist, Eleanor Gardner,

-studied fashion in London.

0:11:240:11:29

-She's worked

-for world-famous designers...

0:11:290:11:32

-..and she'll offer Megan

-some advice.

0:11:330:11:36

-Can a mother benefit

-from changing her wardrobe?

0:11:370:11:40

-Megan, are you happy for me

-to inspect your wardrobe?

0:11:440:11:48

-Only time will tell.

0:11:480:11:49

-I can see

-you're fond of patterns and colour.

0:11:500:11:54

-You're into patchwork!

0:11:540:11:56

-These patterns are dated.

0:11:560:11:58

-I know you're a creative person and

-that's evident in your clothes...

0:11:590:12:04

-..but this looks like a tablecloth

-and it's far too busy. Say bye-bye!

0:12:050:12:10

-Oh, dear!

0:12:110:12:12

-Let's talk about colour.

0:12:120:12:14

-Explain why you bought this, Megan.

0:12:140:12:17

-Explain why you bought this, Megan.

-

-I bought it years ago.

0:12:170:12:18

-I wore it to a testimonial dinner.

0:12:180:12:21

-I wore it to a testimonial dinner.

-

-Did you enjoy wearing it?

0:12:210:12:23

-Yes, even though I had to wear

-a body stocking under it.

0:12:230:12:27

-The magic knickers

-were working overtime!

0:12:270:12:30

-It's a classic outfit but you don't

-have the body shape for it...

0:12:310:12:36

-..and the pink is too bright.

0:12:360:12:38

-It's going to be too cold

-for your skin tone.

0:12:390:12:42

-Say ta-ta!

0:12:420:12:43

-Even more cold, bright colours.

0:12:540:12:56

-Yes. I haven't been able to wear it

-for years.

0:12:560:13:00

-Good!

0:13:000:13:01

-Good!

-

-It was BC - before children.

0:13:010:13:03

-It's far too small for me now.

0:13:040:13:06

-It's far too small for me now.

-

-Yes, it's very short too.

0:13:060:13:08

-I hope to be a size 10 again,

-one day.

0:13:080:13:10

-Are you alright, Megan?

-You survived the Eleanor experience!

0:13:220:13:27

-Yes and I have an empty wardrobe!

0:13:270:13:29

-She really did

-get rid of lots of clothes.

0:13:290:13:32

-Yes. I've got a bone to pick with my

-friends who always say I look nice!

0:13:320:13:37

-You think they've been lying?

0:13:380:13:39

-You think they've been lying?

-

-Yes, for years!

0:13:390:13:40

-I've chosen clothes which emphasize

-Megan's hourglass figure.

0:13:470:13:51

-Sophisticated, feminine clothes.

0:13:510:13:54

-Megan needs well-tailored clothes

-in warm shades...

0:13:550:13:58

-..with mature patterns.

0:13:590:14:01

-Wow! Look at you!

0:14:070:14:09

-You're even walking differently!

0:14:090:14:11

-Yes - completely differently

-and I feel fantastic.

0:14:120:14:15

-I've lost half a stone overnight!

0:14:150:14:18

-The knickers pulled that tummy in!

0:14:180:14:20

-The knickers pulled that tummy in!

-

-Yes, indeed.

0:14:200:14:22

-It feels great

-and I feel taller and slimmer.

0:14:230:14:27

-I love the dress. I'd never have

-bought it but it looks great.

0:14:270:14:31

-It's been an amazing experience.

-I feel taller and slimmer.

0:14:560:15:01

-I'm still a mother

-but I think Megan has come back.

0:15:010:15:05

0:15:200:15:22

-I have a problem

-and I'm hopelessly addicted.

0:15:360:15:40

-But I feel no shame.

0:15:400:15:42

-If I see something in a magazine...

0:15:430:15:45

-..I'll dream about it

-until I get my hands on it.

0:15:460:15:49

-When I got engaged

-three years ago...

0:16:000:16:04

-..I decided to try to be

-a bit more feminine.

0:16:040:16:08

-I felt frustrated when I

-saw my reflection in a shop window.

0:16:080:16:13

-I always wore baggy jeans,

-baggy jumpers and trainers.

0:16:140:16:18

-I felt unhappy

-and I'd hidden my shape for years...

0:16:190:16:22

-..because I felt I was shapeless.

0:16:230:16:25

-I came to the conclusion

-I had to be more confident...

0:16:250:16:29

-..and that's what I did.

0:16:300:16:31

-I started to try on dresses and I

-thought, "Oh! They suit my shape."

0:16:320:16:37

-I started to feel

-more and more confident...

0:16:370:16:40

-..and my husband, my mother and my

-friends said I looked really nice.

0:16:400:16:46

-I realized you can't

-change your shape, so celebrate it!

0:16:460:16:50

-That's what I do.

0:16:500:16:52

-I think 1940s dresses suit my shape.

0:16:580:17:02

-They slim the hips and the bottom

-but also highlight the waist.

0:17:020:17:08

-The 1950s dresses are tight around

-the waist and they flare outwards.

0:17:090:17:14

-They hide the blemishes and show off

-the bits of me I want to show.

0:17:140:17:19

-Do you spend a lot of time...

0:17:320:17:34

-..romanticizing about life

-in a small cottage in Bethesda?

0:17:340:17:39

-I hadn't thought about it like that

-but I'm certainly a home bird.

0:17:390:17:43

-I love being home and there's

-something about where I live.

0:17:440:17:48

-It was my granny's house...

0:17:480:17:50

-..and the wardrobe

-is where it's always been.

0:17:500:17:54

-My granny loved clothes and

-her wardrobe was full to brimming.

0:17:540:17:58

-The wardrobe is still bursting

-at the seams today!

0:17:590:18:02

-There's no room for another garment!

0:18:030:18:05

-I enjoy

-carrying on the family tradition!

0:18:060:18:10

-This is the bedroom. Mind your head!

0:18:150:18:19

-This is the bedroom. Mind your head!

-

-You mustn't wear heels in here!

0:18:190:18:22

-I came close to not getting married

-because of these two dresses.

0:18:220:18:27

-These are two of six dresses...

0:18:270:18:30

-..I bought in New York

-when I did a gig there.

0:18:300:18:33

-Martin wanted to come

-but we couldn't afford it...

0:18:330:18:37

-..because

-it was just before our wedding day.

0:18:370:18:41

-I had a bottle of rose on the street

-in New York then went shopping.

0:18:410:18:46

-These are a few

-of the dresses I bought there.

0:18:460:18:49

-They weren't too expensive.

0:18:500:18:52

-They cost something like 90 each...

0:18:520:18:54

-..which isn't bad

-but I did buy seven dresses!

0:18:550:18:57

-What a palaver when I got home!

0:18:580:19:00

-My best friend,

-my mother and my then fiance...

0:19:000:19:04

-..sat me down, around a table,

-and told me I had a problem.

0:19:040:19:08

-I can't come home and say,

-"I'll get them next time."

0:19:080:19:12

-When you see something you love

-in New York, you've got to buy it.

0:19:120:19:16

-They're vintage clothes

-and I had to have them.

0:19:170:19:20

-Can I afford them?

-That's irrelevant.

0:19:210:19:24

-I found a way to buy them.

0:19:240:19:26

-Vintage clothes are fashionable.

0:19:380:19:41

-They're getting harder to find...

0:19:420:19:44

-..and, as demand grows,

-they're getting more expensive.

0:19:450:19:50

-I feel like screaming,

-"No! I liked them first!"

0:19:500:19:53

-"Go away!"

0:19:540:19:55

-I hear you have two wedding dresses.

0:19:560:19:58

-Is that true?

0:19:580:19:59

-Is that true?

-

-Yes, it is true.

0:19:590:20:01

-I've been a fool!

0:20:010:20:03

-I wanted to get married

-in a vintage dress.

0:20:030:20:07

-I found this dress

-and it's actually pre-vintage.

0:20:080:20:12

-It was made in the 1840s.

0:20:120:20:15

-It's full of holes

-but I bought it anyway.

0:20:150:20:18

-My friend and my mother said,

-"No! You look like Miss Havisham!"

0:20:180:20:23

-I said, "No! No! No!

-I want to get married in it."

0:20:230:20:26

-I know it's faded

-but it's just an amazing dress.

0:20:270:20:30

-Imagine its history!

0:20:300:20:32

-It's also been in a production

-at the National Theatre, London.

0:20:320:20:36

-The man who sold it to me told me

-that and I had to have the dress!

0:20:360:20:41

-As my friend said,

-"Lisa! It's yellow!"

0:20:410:20:44

-The lace is totally discoloured!

0:20:450:20:47

-I realized they may have a point!

0:20:480:20:50

-I then found another dress -

-the one I wore on my wedding day.

0:20:510:20:56

-They're like

-members of the family to me.

0:21:010:21:03

-Each one

-has a story of its own to tell.

0:21:040:21:07

-What shoes did you wear

-on your wedding day?

0:21:100:21:13

-I wore Christian Louboutin shoes.

0:21:130:21:16

-I wore Christian Louboutin shoes.

-

-The ones with red soles.

0:21:160:21:18

-Yes and they're incredibly high.

0:21:180:21:20

-At the start of the day, I thought

-they were really comfortable...

0:21:200:21:26

-..but then,

-I wore them for 18 hours.

0:21:260:21:29

-When I took them off that night,

-my feet were really red.

0:21:290:21:34

-It was worth every minute, though?

0:21:340:21:36

-It was worth every minute, though?

-

-Yes, of course.

0:21:360:21:38

-"Canada Airlines

-welcomes you aboard...

0:21:390:21:42

-"..Flight FUN to Newfoundland."

0:21:420:21:46

-I often wear this outfit.

0:22:060:22:09

-I like this blouse

-and pencil skirt to do gigs.

0:22:090:22:12

-I feel feminine when I wear them.

0:22:130:22:16

-It makes me walk differently.

0:22:160:22:18

-It makes me aware of the fact

-I must sit with a straight back.

0:22:180:22:22

-Do you have a pair of lucky shoes?

0:22:320:22:34

-Do you have a pair of lucky shoes?

-

-Yes - the blue ones.

0:22:340:22:36

-Every time I've worn those,

-I've performed well at a gig.

0:22:360:22:40

-I find it hard not to wear them now,

-in case a gig doesn't go down well.

0:22:400:22:45

-I must have my blue shoes.

0:22:450:22:47

-People at gigs shout, "Nice shoes!"

-but they don't mention my singing!

0:22:470:22:52

-They like my shoes.

0:22:530:22:54

-I'm also obsessed with

-1930s and 1940s nightgowns.

0:23:030:23:06

-I convinced myself I needed

-two nightgowns for my honeymoon.

0:23:070:23:11

-I found this one.

0:23:110:23:13

-I found this one.

-

-Oh, it's beautiful!

0:23:130:23:15

-Yes, it's a two-piece set

-and it's see-through.

0:23:160:23:20

-It's really sexy.

0:23:210:23:22

-You'll often see me walking around

-Gerlan in this nightgown....

0:23:370:23:43

-..with a parka over it

-and pink wellingtons under it!

0:23:440:23:48

-That's really stylish!

0:23:480:23:50

-It looks like a dress.

0:23:500:23:52

-Yes and it's nice

-because it cups the breasts.

0:23:520:23:55

-It fits me quite snugly.

0:23:550:23:57

-You changed your style and it's

-safe to say it changed your life.

0:24:130:24:18

-Yes, it changed

-the way I feel about myself.

0:24:200:24:22

-I wonder if I'll still

-wear these dresses when I'm 50.

0:24:230:24:27

-I really, really hope so.
