Gok Wan Reveals He Nearly Quit Fashion for Finance

He found huge success on How To Look Good Naked, but stylist Gok Wan says he nearly quit the fashion world to work in finance instead.

Gok is best known by TV viewers for his Channel 4 style makeover show, which ran for seven series from 2006. But he is no stranger to career changes – he is also a chef, fronting cooking shows and writing cook books – and a DJ.

Gok turned 50 in September, and he says he feels more confident and less bothered by life, and able to make snap decisions and take on difficult challenges. Partly, he reveals, this confidence is a consequence of losing his best friend, Allison Gordon-Parry, to breast cancer in May. He credits her memory with spurring him to take on a daily breakfast radio show on Magic in the new year – something he previously deemed too daunting. He says: “She taught me a lot in life, and she’s also still teaching me, in a beautiful way.”
