Gok Wan

Gok Wan (born 9 September 1974) is an English fashion consultant, author and television presenter. He is known for his appearances on many television programmes (including his own fashion show How to Look Good Naked), for providing fashion advice to celebrities and for contributing his views to fashion magazines published internationally.

Born in Leicester to mixed English and Chinese parentage, Wan worked in his parents' Chinese takeaway growing up, when he struggled with obesity. Initially training in the performing arts at the Central School of Speech and Drama, he then entered the fashion business, writing for popular fashion magazines and appearing on various television shows. In 2006, Channel 4 employed him to present his own television show, How to Look Good Naked, which lasted for three series. He followed up the success of this show with other fashion shows, Gok's Fashion Fix, Miss Naked Beauty and Gok Wan's Fashion Roadshow. Moving into other genres, he presented a series of documentaries on social problems among young people, drawing on his personal experiences with obesity and homophobia, as well as presenting a cookery programme, Gok Cooks Chinese (2012).
