About this episode

Nous sommes en 1987. Jane Shepherdson est l’acheteuse vedette pour la chaîne anglaise de magasins de vêtements Topshop. Personne n’est capable de sentir à l’avance les futures tendances aussi bien qu’elle. Ses collections sont totalement dans l’air du temps, à tel point que les jeunes femmes britanniques se ruent chez Topshop. Mais ce long travail sur l’image de l’enseigne va être mis en pièce lorsque l’entreprise est rachetée par l’homme d’affaires Philip Green.

Pendant ce temps, la marque suédoise H&M ouvre son premier point de vente aux Etats-Unis. Et bientôt, une collaboration révolutionnaire avec Karl Lagerfeld, styliste vedette de Chanel, va brouiller les frontières entre mode et fast fashion.
