About this event
In the 1990s, Mary Portas turned Harvey Nichols into ‘Harvey Nicks’ and changed the way we shop. She shared her experiences on TV as the BBC’s ‘Mary Queen of Shops’ and partnered with Save the Children to reinvent charity shops. Mary joins Helen Brocklebank, CEO of Walpole, which speaks for the UK luxury industry, for a wide-ranging conversation about her acclaimed memoir-cum-business manual, I Shop: Therefore I Am, exploring the deeply personal story woven through her professional journey – from her own complex relationship with shopping and identity to her vision for transforming the future of retail.
