So M&S just had their first catwalk show at London Fashion Week and apparently it went really well? People are saying the designs are actually compelling and the prices are affordable compared to the usual designer stuff. Wondering if this means their regular stores might start carrying better-looking clothes or if this was just a one-off event for hype.
A catwalk show usually signals that a brand is serious about repositioning itself, so there's a decent chance their regular stores will start reflecting that direction - but when exactly and how much? Are you looking more for everyday basics that are well-made, or statement pieces that actually feel current?
I've noticed M&S does tend to follow through when they make these kinds of public commitments, though the rollout usually takes a few seasons to really permeate the whole store rather than staying confined to a special collection. The risk is that the catwalk pieces might stay in a premium sub-line at higher price points rather than fundamentally shifting what you'll find on the regular racks, so worth keeping an eye on their online listings over the next few months to see if the aesthetic actually trickles down to everyday wear.
