Retail guru and television presenter Mary Portas will be joining us for a live webchat on Monday 10 May from 1-2pm to discuss shopping, style and her brand new fashion crusade for women over 40.
As a mother of two, Mary juggles a television career and writing a weekly shop review column in the Telegraph with running Yellowdoor, her successful retail-branding and communications agency.
Mary's about to start filming a new Channel 4 TV series that will follow her quest to fill the gap in the fashion market for fabulous, forty-plus women.
She particularly wants to know:
-
Do you think your fashion needs are served by high-street retailers?
-
When you shop for fashion, is it as fun and easy an experience as it was when you were younger or do you find it a trial?
-
Is there a brand on the high street that gives you what you want?
-
What are the brands that are failing you?
-
Would you rather see a picture of a woman your own age marketing the brands you buy or are you happy to see youthful, perfect faces?
Mary knows shops and shopping better than anyone and she'll be ready to answer all of your shopping quandaries, from where to find the best service to where to shop for the best one-offs.
Television cameras will be following Mary as she takes part in the live webchat. Your comments may be used in the television show but we won't identify you.
As part of the television series, Mary is also looking for opinionated women who will be part of her focus group, advising her on anything from where to buy the best-fitting dress to road-testing whole fashion collections.
This will involve a number of days filming in London over the next six months and will cover travel expenses for these days.
If you're interested in being involved please email [email protected] with your name, your MN nickname, your contact details and why you think you should be part of the show.
Thanks, MNHQ
