Summary
- Celebrity stylist Dean Aslett sues Harvey Nichols for age discrimination.
- Aslett alleges younger colleagues served wealthy footballer clients.
- He previously styled Princess Diana and Liz Hurley.
Dean Aslett, a 55-year-old celebrity stylist with a renowned career, has filed a lawsuit against Harvey Nichols, alleging age discrimination. Aslett, who famously dressed Princess Diana and styled Liz Hurley in the iconic safety pin dress, claims his extensive experience was disregarded by management.
He asserts that while employed as a personal shopper at the luxury department store's London location, affluent clients, including Premier League footballers who spent as much as £35,000, were routinely assigned to younger colleagues. Aslett stated that he was often given less desirable clients, effectively being penalized for his age.
His tenure at Harvey Nichols, which began in January 2024 and ended in December 2024, was marked by this alleged discrimination from the outset. Aslett's employment tribunal case against the company is slated to be heard next April.
