Marks & Spencer’s standard setting ethics continue to inspire innovation and design whilst championing the heritage and core values of Marks & Spencer in perfectly edited collections.
The mood for the new womenswear season is one of confident femininity, celebrating the female form in flattering fit and design whilst bringing several strong trend directions into play. From the elegant, retro-inspired glamour of Femme Fatale to the softly androgynous, minimal tailoring of Modern Elegance the season ahead promises a fresh feel to winter dressing.
Print and pattern take a considered direction in Wild Opulence using simple silhouettes, tonal animal prints and more refined geometrics to set a sophisticated print tone. In contrast, exquisite fabrics make the strongest style statement with an emphasis on opulent brocades, embellishment and luxe leather in Dark Drama, or the warm, brushed finish of checks, plaids and tactile knits in London Calling.
