Dans les hautes sphères de la mode et du luxe, nombreux sont les managers obsédés par la course au pouvoir. Aveuglés par leur désir de conquête, beaucoup n'en ont même pas conscience. C’est seulement une fois sortis de cet engrenage qu’ils comprennent à quel point ils en étaient prisonniers et combien il est avantageux de ne plus avoir à rendre de compte à qui que ce soi, à part soi même. Passés du statut de star à celui d'entrepreneur discret, d'investisseur et de coach, certains anciens hauts dirigeants affirment que leur nouvelle vie est peut-être moins sous les projecteurs mais pas moins gratifiante. Parmi ceux dont leurs nouvelles aventures les comblent, Stanislas de Quercize, ancien PDG de Cartier et Van Cleef & Arpels, Natalie Massenet, fondatrice de Net-A-Porter, Pierre Denis, ancien directeur général de Jimmy Choo, et Philippe Pascal, ancien directeur de la division montres et joaillerie de LVMH.
