Lily’s new TV show
We are so excited to bring you the news that Lily’s new TV show ‘Lily Allen: From Riches To Rags’ will begin on Tuesday 15th March 2011 at 10pm on UK TV Channel 4! Here is the description of the first episode. Keep checking LilyFan for the latest news on this topic!
The first programme of the series joins Lily backstage at The O2 Arena on the final night of her tour.
Tired of life on the road she has announced she is quitting touring in favor of a quieter life, and wants to realize another dream - opening a vintage shop. Along with her half sister Sarah, a total business novice, Lily plans on making couture and vintage pieces available to those who may not be able to afford such luxury items in an innovative clothes store where customers can hire or buy one-off designer garments.
They set out transforming Lily’s office into the base for their business. But all they have is the name - Lucy in Disguise - and an idea.
To make up for their lack of experience and transform their dream for the shop into a viable business Sarah and Lily hire Jess Morris as their brand director. With 15 years in the fashion industry under her belt Jess has worked for the likes of Agent Provocateur and Vivienne Westwood, and it’s her job to help them find the right shop in the right place with the right stock.
While Lily is easily carried away spending her hard earned money on amazing one off items, Sarah is tasked with sorting out the company finances as she undergoes a crash course in business management to try and devise a budget for the project.
They start splashing the cash on couture fashion for stock but receive some home truths about their plans from retail guru Mary Portas after a focus group is unsure about the shop’s concept and prices.
Tensions between the sisters are running high as Sarah tries to take financial control of the business. Lily talks openly about the rift in their relationship when they were younger, and reveals how her slim figure the press raved about in 2009 was the result of an unhealthy relationship with food.
