Over the last 10 years, Wan has worked with many personalities and musicians including Bryan Ferry, All Saints, Damien Lewis, Erasure, Vanessa Mae, Wet Wet Wet, and Johnny Vaughan. His work has been published internationally in magazines such Tatler, Glamour, Times Style, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, The Face, and People and he has worked as an on-screen fashion consultant on many television shows including MTV Shakedown, Big Brother's Little Brother, Battle of the Sexes, Make Me a Grown Up, The Xtra Factor, and T4. The host of How to Look Good Naked, he also authored the accompanying book, How to Look Good Naked: Shop for Your Shape and Look Amazing!, hosts Gok's Fashion Fix, and has a range of shapewear lingerie. Gok Wan is hugely popular, but very little is known about the man behind the phenomenally successful TV show that has the UK daring to bare.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Gok Wan is no fashion elitist, and this has made him the most popular and powerful man in British fashion. With his irresistible formula of entusiasm, taste and overwhelming positivity, Gok transformed the nation's fashion sense on his hit show How to Look Good Naked. His infectious passion for fashion has given British women the confidence to love themselves for just who they are. And they just can't get enough of him - 'literally!' Gok was raised on a tough council estate in Leicester and targeted by school bullies for being gay and overweight.Yet more trying times lay ahead when he escaped to drama school in London only to realise that he simply didn't fit in. But this only made Gok more determined than ever to make his mark on the world. He quit drama, taught himself to be a make-up artist and stylist and soon became a darling of the fashion world and personal stylist for some of our hottest celebrities. Then came the hit shows How to Look Good Naked and Gok's Fashion Fix. It's all been a whirlwind, but Gok is loving every minute of it. Having once weighed 21 stone, Gok knows only too well what it is like to be self-conscious about one's body, and it is his empathy with everyday people which has endeared him to so many. Gok is a man of hidden depths, and in this inspirational biography, Emily Herbert traces the extraordinary life and times of the nation's favourite fashion guru, painting a fascinating portrait of a national hero in the making. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001873598
