Bio
Gok Wan is a British fashion consultant, author and television presenter best known for hosting the reality makeover television series How to Look Good Naked, since 2006.
Born in 1974 in Leicester, Gok has worked in the fashion industry for the best part of a decade. Studying at London's prestigious Central School of Speech and Drama, he found himself drawn to hair and make-up over drama, prompting his entrée into the fashion industry and gaining him early work as a hair and make-up artist on titles such as The Sunday Times Style.
Finding himself dissatisfied with beauty alone, however, Gok decided to pursue his love of clothes as a fashion stylist.
He has worked with some of the world's most renowned photographers (Rankin, Mike Owen, Tony McGee, Jason Joyce and Arthur Elgot), had his work published internationally (Glamour, The Face, Cosmopolitan, Afisha Mir and People Magazine US), amassed a large celebrity client-base (Bryan Ferry, Vanessa Mae, Damien Lewis and All Saints to name a few) and consulted on a host of television shows including How to Look Good Naked, GMTV, BBC1's Battle of The Sexes and Richard and Judy.
Gok has also made appearances on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and The F Word, whilst his appearance on The New Paul O’Grady Show resulted in Paul O’Grady stripping naked.
Gok has also guest hosted Channel 4's Friday Night Project.
