Exterior of Nissan factory STORYLINE The demise of Lehman Brothers a year ago sparked the near-collapse of the international financial system, and triggered the worst recession for decades. It also cost thousands of people their jobs - causing personal and professional traumas that continue to this day. The Lehman Brothers skyscraper is one of the defining features of London's financial hub, Canary Wharf. People still work in the building, either as accountants or lawyers drafted in to deal with the aftermath of Lehman's implosion, or as bankers for Nomura who bought Lehman's European assets. But it's a shadow of its former self, a monument to a once-mighty bank that fell into the abyss. A far cry from the tumultuous events of 15 September 2008 when the world woke up to news that Lehman was about to bite the dust. Bankers turned up for work and were immediately told to clear their desks and leave, running the gauntlet of the media as they carried out their belongings in cardboard boxes. One of the banker who left Lehman Brothers that day was Caroline White. She earned hundreds of thousands of pounds a year, trading derivatives and other financial products. Now she's traded her entire career - and begun a new life as a designer. From a tiny studio in East London, White designs handbags and other high-end accessories. The studio is crammed with mementoes of her Lehman days - from her staff pass to an artwork commissioned in the aftermath of the bank's collapse.
