I Shop, Therefore I Am

A WATERSTONES BEST ENTERTAINMENT BOOK OF 2025. 'A riot' - The Times. 'Absolutely irresistible' - Joanna Lumley. 'I couldn't put it down. ' - Michelle Ogundehin. 'Entertaining and energetic' - Stylist. Chronicling how she transformed Harvey Nichols from a fusty, old-fashioned store to a thriving, cutting-edge fashion brand, this entertaining and insightful book is suffused with the heady glamour and excess of 90s Cool Britannia. Mary takes us behind the shop window - to the people who kept the show on the road and the early lessons that shaped her career. Told with her trademark wit, grit and candour, readers will see first-hand how, armed only with the blank canvas of a shop window and her own creativity, Mary created an era-defining global brand destination.
