Book Description

Publication Date: 16 April 2007

TV's new fashion guru Gok Wan, presenter of Channel 4's ‘How to Look Good Naked’, shows women of all shapes and sizes how to look great with their clothes on and off! His first book is packed with expert health, beauty and styling advice to make you look and feel fabulous without cosmetic surgery or drastic dieting.

Women are constantly bombarded by images of the 'perfect shape' and targeted by companies selling low-fat products. And a recent survey reveals that 98% of British women are unhappy with their bodies.

Gok Wan, the loveable stylist from Channel 4's 'How to Look Good Naked', wants to change all that. His mission is to boost women's confidence and help you to love what you've got without resorting to drastic dieting or cosmetic surgery.

In 'How to Look Good Naked', Gok draws on his experience of styling models and celebrities to help ordinary women make the most of their bodies – to flatter your best bits and minimise the parts of your body you hate.

'How to Look Good Naked' contains all the tricks of the fashion trade and loads of insider beauty tips to help you feel a million dollars, whatever size or shape you are. With tips on how to choose the right pair of jeans, which underwear will make you slim and super-sexy, how to choose the right accessories to slim you down, plus treatments, exercise advice and more.

Gok says: 'I can slim you down by changing your clothes!' After reading 'How to Look Good Naked', you'll feel like a new woman.

Review

‘For anyone who’s going through a style crisis, or just really wants a new look, it’s the perfect place to start.’ **** Heat magazine

‘Three months on, and I’ve never felt more confident. Working with Gok changed my life.’ Susan Sharpe on ‘How to Look Good Naked’, best magazine

‘A welcome antidote to those myths of perfection, this new series aims to debunk the fashion, beauty and advertising industries’ lies’ best magazine

‘What marks Gok Wan out from the rest of the makeover mafia is that he genuinely seems to care about his case studies…Every home should have a Wan.’ Metro

‘Where better to find top tips and super-slimming advice than Gok Wan’s guide? We love it!’ Love It! Magazine

“How To Look Naked is actually sweet, caring and sympathetic telly. Gok seems to care about the women he spends time with… He’s all hugs and encouragement, gently prodding his subjects into seeing themselves as others see them.” London Lite

From the Author

Take a look at what you're wearing right now, and if your outfit doesn't
say, " I'm the most gorgeous creature who ever lived", keep reading.
The way you dress tells the whole world how you feel about your body. And
what you wear influences how good you feel about yourself. It's that
feeling you get when you put on your favourite pair of jeans - you just
know that cute ass of yours will turn heads.
this is the effect that everything in your wardrobe should have. You
deserve to feel fabulous all day, every day. And this, my sweet, is how I'm
going to help you.
Gok Wan

4.0 out of 5 stars You don't have to loose weight or be rich to look great! 17 Jun 2007
By U. Hartmann
Format:Hardcover
The best thing about this book is its overall message: you do not necessarily have to loose weight or be rich to look your very best on a day-to-day basis! Gok's approach is 'drink more water, eat more fruit&veg and take good care of yourself'- no diet fads or expensive plastic surgery (see '10 years younger'!) needed. The book focuses on different types of body shape (big bottom, big belly, no curves, too skinny etc.) and provides LOTS of helpful advice as to what to wear and (probably even more important) what not. The last chapters focus on underwear and general beauty routine. All of this is very helpful and the writing style is very similar to the tv show, very positive and encouraging, all about flaunting your best bits and keeping quiet about the rest. I can honestly say that I have never read such a positive book about this subject: Gok does not preach or patronize, but seems to really want to bring the best out in everybody.

The only shortcoming is a lack of photographs. It would have been nice to have more pictures accompanying the advice given in the text. But apart from that: absolutely recommendable!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great on TV but the book? 1 Sep 2008
By Sue Donnelly
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Feel Fab at 50

As an Image professional I have always loved Gok since he jumped on to our TV screens a couple of years ago. He epitomises what we, as professionals, should be doing with our clients. I have continued to love his approach ever since. While the text in his book was sensible and uplifting, strangely enough, I found the choice of clothing incomprehensible for the most part. Instead of flattering his models, who are all gorgeous (and mostly voluptuous), they look uncomfortable and too tight with staining seams, incorrect fabric choices and so on. The Gok on TV would never make these fundamental errors and the upshot is that his girls look bigger than they really are. A conundrum!

5.0 out of 5 stars very helpful 30 Jun 2007
By Reeta
Format:Hardcover
Five stars because although the book is not perfect I applaud the kindness of the author. An interesting aspect is that Wan himself tells us that he was overweight. Quite obviously he is not now - yet this is emphatically not a diet book. What seems to have happened is that the author styled himself to feel better about himself and the weightloss followed in due course when he was happier about himself. This book is so brilliant because it starts with what's right about you rather than with what is wrong, working with your self-consciousness rather than totally disregarding it. All teenage girls should be given this book and the author should be given a knighthood. Read in conjunction with watching the TV show.

My only criticisms: perhaps the style is a little cloying; but I'll live with that since I know he is trying to put the reader at their ease. Also sometimes it's hard to know exactly what shape you are: e.g. am I a pear shape, a bird with a big bum or petite? Maybe some comparative measurements would be useful. Worst thing would be to accidentally go for the wrong shape. Really I'm a combination of all three so how to work with that? There is some limited advice but more would be good.
