By now, one of the most diverse and
accessible brands on the British high street, Marks and Spencer is a
fashion institution.
They’ve been on a long journey over the
past 10 years, with periods of both success and decline. They’ve been
criticized at times for lacking fashion focus and conversely accused of
changing their target market too much neglecting their core customers.

I, on the other hand, have been a fan for
some time. I’ve always been struck by the brands ability to interpret the
trends in a wearable way and to supply products that deliver both the quality
and price that we expect. That’s why I was thrilled to go along to their A/W 13
preview earlier this week…
Thanks to the array of different ranges
they carry, it looks like next season will bring something everyone will love.
Limited Collection providing the high fashion pieces their younger customers
want and Autograph delivering the reasonably priced, high quality garments
their more mature patrons demand. But more
of next season later…
What really struck me at the M&S press
day was not the style on the mannequins (which was also incredible) but the beautifully turned out
staff wearing their current season range.
They looked comfortable, immaculate and above all totally chic in one of
next season’s most popular trends…Mixed texturing.
Earlier this year we saw from the likes of fashion heavy weights Chanel and Burberry
(among many others) that this trend is set to be huge, and already the high street has started to re-interpret this look.

Some trusty cashmere with a flash of leather is one of the easiest
way to wear it, but it’s a texture that many are a little afraid of! Also,
where leather is concerned, most of us tend to stick with more ‘flattering’
darker shades – not exactly great for summer.
I’m please to say that trusty M&S are
on hand to help us wear this look for spring without looking like a fashion victim.
Hear are some of our favorite items for
this season…
