“Now, you’re probably going to hire one of the people who did not yell at you and storm out, and I think that’s a big mistake and here’s why,” Rachel fiercely told bewildered hiring manager Mr Zelner.

“I made a huge fool of myself and I came back, that shows courage. When I thought you wanted sex in exchange for this job, I said no. That shows integrity. And, I was not afraid to stand up for myself and that shows courage. Now, I know I already said courage, but y’know you gotta have courage. And umm, and finally when I thought you were making sexual advances in the workplace, I said no and I was not litigious.”

Won over by her enthusiasm, Zelner gave Rachel the job – and she went on to become one of Ralph Lauren’s most influential (albeit fictional) employees. She was promoted to merchandising manager, given a (hot male) assistant, and eventually offered a well-paid job in Paris with rival company Louis Vuitton.

And, during her time at Louis Vuitton, Rachel definitely dressed the part. Indeed, she nailed 2019’s ‘grey is the new beige’ trend long before her time – and curated a workwear wardrobe of chic blazers, roll-necks and midi dresses.
