Summary

A truly inspirational memoir, this is Ed's story: an affecting, candid and wildly funny tale of one man's meteoric rise to the top of the retail and fashion world—from heroin addict to MD of Liberty, one of Britain's most iconic institutions. Along the way, Ed shares his ups and downs: the riotous hedonism of the 1980s New York and Florida party scenes; the devastating impact of the AIDS crisis, during which he lost his best friend; his first job as a spritzer at Macy's; his role in transforming the fortunes of two of New York's most prestigious luxury department stores; his battle with drug addiction and depression; his experiences working with a multiplicity of high-profile stars; his top tips for surviving in fashion and retail; and finally his coming to London to take the reins at Liberty, a stranger in a strange land. At Liberty is a window onto a seemingly glamorous world, a world that Ed writes about with a spark, wry, self-deprecating humor and a fantastic sense of pathos.

Author Biography

Before taking the top job at Liberty in 2008 (since when he's presided over double-digit year-on-year growth), Ed Burstell was Senior Vice President at Bergdorf Goodman and General Manager of Henri Bendel. Ed also writes for the New York Times and the Financial Times.
