Broadcaster and retail guru Mary Portas talks about her new memoir, charting her early career transforming Harvey Nichols from fusty department store into 1990s fashion icon in the Britpop-era world of Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Princess Di and Ab Fab that made “Harvey Nicks” a household name.

For the Goods Shed, Portas will be in conversation with Libs Nicholls, founder of popular Cotswold lifestyle and vintage homeware shop group, Domestic Science, to discuss her memoir as well as what a great shop can do for place-making, taste-making and identity.
