Retail expert and style icon Mary Portas is not happy. She’s looking better than ever but when she opens a magazine or hits the high street, women like her are nowhere to be seen. The fashion world has brushed her, and other 40-something women, under the carpet. She's about to change that. For the first time ever, Mary Portas the shop critic and retail consultant, is launching her own store. She’s spent years trying to raise retailer’s standards with her outspoken reviews but now she’s joining the high street and opening her shop to give women over 40 an alternative to the teenage fashion or frump on the high street.
