Back Story

Gok initially pursued performing arts and began attending a course at the Charles Keene College of Further Education and then studied at London's prestigious Central School of Speech and Drama. There he found himself drawn to hair and make-up over drama, prompting his entrée into the fashion industry and gaining him early work as a hair and make-up artist on titles such as The Sunday Times Style. Finding himself dissatisfied with beauty alone, Gok decided to pursue his love of clothes as a fashion stylist.

During his time as a Stylist, Gok has dressed a host of celebrities including; French and Saunders, Bryan Ferry, All Saints, Erasure, Damien Lewis and Vanessa Mae, to name but a few and his work has been published internationally in several magazines, which included Tatler, Glamour, Times Style, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, The Face, and People. He has also worked with renowned photographers such as Rankin, Mike Owen, Elise Dumontet, Arthur Elgort, Terry O'Neil, Clive Arrowsmith and Jason Joyce.

In addition to his editorial work, Gok has also worked as an "on-screen" fashion consultant on many television shows including: MTV Shakedown (MTV Europe), GMTV (ITV), LK Today (ITV), Big Brother's Little Brother (Channel 4), Battle of the Sexes (BBC1), The Wright Stuff (Five), Make Me a Grown Up (Channel 4/T4), The Xtra Factor (ITV2) and T4 (Channel 4).

Despite Gok's growing status as one of the UK's most sought-after stylists and fashion 'gurus', he remains far from blasé (though a little mischievous) about his achievements, especially where his celebrity clients are concerned: "I never dreamt as a child that the people I danced around my bedroom singing to and tried to emulate style-wise, I'd one day get to tell what to wear!".
