Join acclaimed author, retail pioneer and innovative businesswoman Mary Portas as she shares the inspiration behind her bold new memoir, I Shop, Therefore I Am: The 90s, Harvey Nicks and Me. With her signature wit and no-holds-barred honesty, Mary charts her transformation of Harvey Nichols from a tired department store into a global brand destination.
Mary will discuss how, armed only with the blank canvas of a shop window and her own creativity, she reimagined what luxury and style could be. Hear about the vivid world of 90s Britpop and retail, fashion-world revelations, and the highs and lows of a career that shaped the high street.
