A woman sat in a chair

About

The 1990s: Britpop is dominating the charts, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell stare out from every glossy magazine and British fashion is ripe for reinvention. Leading the charge is a twenty-something Mary Portas. With her trademark wit, grit and candour, Portas shares the lessons that shaped her career and takes us behind the shop window, explaining how she transformed Harvey Nicks into a global fashion destination by leaning into her instincts and taking bold creative risks.
