All glammed up
MANILA, Philippines - With celebrations like prom, Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year just around the corner, choosing the appropriate outfit is always at the top of the list. This season, stand out with ensembles from premier classic label Marks & Spencer. From clean lines to timeless silhouettes, Marks & Spencer’s Autograph label and Limited Collection provide a style mix fit for any occasion.
Inspired by minimalist art, Marks & Spencer’s Autograph line for women reinvents pencil skirts, knee-length dresses and angel sleeves, with a classic slash-neck top complete with French chiffon layered detail in 100-percent silk. A textured black pencil skirt proves to be the perfect match for a dark grape frilly top, reminiscent of M&S’s British heritage. A pure silk tunic boasts interesting color combinations that give an edge to the total look.
The Limited Collection was inspired by New York City’s disco trend, referencing the glamorous, iconic and glitzy styles of the ’80s with its pops of fuchsia, jade, sequins and embellishments. A bandeau-style empire dress with pin-tuck front detail is the height of femininity, while an elegant little black dress has exaggerated shoulders and a sequined bodice for a totally glamorous look.
Marks & Spencer also has collections for men who want that dashing, debonair look. The single-breasted two-button evening suit is a sophisticated choice for black-tie gatherings, as is the eveningwear jacket and trousers in timeless black. Pleats are infused into evening shirts, with silk, satin and polyester bowties made of machine-washable fabric completing the look. Autograph’s ensembles also include scarves and wool bomber jackets.
For the men’s Autograph brand, Marks & Spencer tied up with leading London designer Jsen Wintel, who showcases his passion for hand tailoring, rich fabrics and immaculate detail. Since launching his own label in 2005, he has established a reputation for luxury and fine tailoring. In this new capsule collection, he uses precise construction techniques in slim jeans to create strong yet subdued silhouettes that are on the cutting edge of modern style.
Marks & Spencer is exclusively distributed by Rustan Marketing Specialists Inc. and is available at Greenbelt 5, Glorietta 4, Power Plant Mall, TriNoma, Shangri-La Plaza Mall, SM Megamall, Robinsons Galleria, Robinsons Place Malate, Gateway, Alabang Town Center, Mall of Asia, SM North EDSA, SM Pampanga, Marquee Mall, Ayala Cebu, and Paseo de Sta.
