We launched M&S Beauty

using multi-channel activity
to bring it to life. The carefully
edited collection includes
prestige global brands and sales

were 25% ahead of other stores.
British Fashion Council
‘Best of British’ is our exclusive three-
year partnership with the British Fashion
Council, celebrating British fashion,
home-grown talent and sustainability.
As part of the initiative, two new
luxurious clothing collections will feature
a combination of British heritage,
sourcing and production.
Fashion credentials
In partnership with Vogue,
we put together the ultimate
go-to Spring wardrobe based
around five easy-to-wear
pieces. This capsule collection
focused on exceptional
quality and timeless style to
create a simple, transitional
mix and match wardrobe.
Our most
sustainable suit ever
Our Savile Row Inspired
suit not only features
impeccable design
credentials courtesy of
Richard James, it has a
fantastic eco signature
too. Made from fully
traceable organic wool
and incorporating a
lining made from
recycled plastic bottles,
it’s one of the greenest
garments we’ve ever
made. It even carries
a unique QR code so
customers can learn
more about its green
credentials online.
