introduced us in Season 1 to fictional London investment bank Pierpoint, where its class of recruits danced, drank, snorted, and hand-jobbed their way through their initial months on the job. Season 2 picks up roughly a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, when familiar faces Harper Stern , Yasmin Kara-Hanani, Robert Spearing , and Gus Sackey are called back into the office, back into the fray.
“First season, [Harper] had just come from America and didn’t come from money, so her clothing was very, very simple,” Morris Glennon says. “We see Harper being a bit more confident in herself. … There’s a definite confidence in the way she dresses, and this sense of actually being able to spend some money.”For publishing heiress and posh Notting Hill resident Yasmin, however, spending money has never been an issue.
Even the men’s fashion delights. Robert Spearing, a Brit from humble beginnings who was the laughingstock of the trading desk for his funerary black suit last season, now sports the panache of Hugo Boss suits, shirts with French cuffs, and Hermès ties. Who can say no to a man in an expensive suit?
