The Best of British Collection for Marks & Spencer is synonymous with quality and outstanding design; supporting home grown talent and expertise. Developed by the M&S in-house design team based at the newly opened M&S Studio in Shoreditch, the Best of British collection is a true celebration of British craftsmanship and creativity.
Using Marks & Spencer’s unique archive and rich history as a starting point, the collection is a modern exploration of heritage sensibility, as classic shaping is re-imagined with a contemporary aesthetic.
Autumn 14 sees jacquard florals meet herringbone and checks in a fusion of modernity and the traditional. A strong silhouette, bold print & superior attention to detail underpin the spirit of this collection. Earthy hues and vivid colour highlights define the palette, as soft navy and warm rust are offset with hot red and royal blue in a luxurious and vibrant Autumn representation.
The collection consists of 54 pieces, including outerwear, leather accessories and footwear. The full collection is manufactured in Britain with selected fabrics carefully sourced from British suppliers; including knitwear from Scotland, outerwear from Manchester and footwear from Northamptonshire. Whilst the collection celebrates high quality design and luxurious fabrication this season also includes a selection of jersey dresses from a supplier and manufacturer in Hinckley with an opening price point of £59.
Since 2013 Marks & Spencer has been the lead partner of the British Fashion Council’s Positive Fashion initiative, a bid to support and encourage positive change within the fashion industry through best practice and nurturing home grown talent. The Best of British Collection is a commitment to this initiative, championing Great British style, design and manufacturing.
