Biography

Gok Wan is a TV presenter and fashion expert. His name is synonymous with offering straightforward fashion advice to women to boost their appearance and confidence, no matter their age or shape. 

Gok first came to fame in the UK as a fashion stylist. His first TV series for Channel 4, How To Look Good Naked, was a big success and paved the way for a further six series as well as other spin off fashion focused TV shows. Several of his fashion and style TV series have been sold worldwide which led to him appearing on the Today show in the U.S. He has also presented Say Yes To The Dress on TLC, which followed Gok as he helped brides find their perfect wedding dress.

His ability to relate to people, combined with his knowledge and love of food and cooking enabled Gok to expand his expertise across a broader lifestyle remit and he presented the cooking show Gok Cooks Chinese.
