How Marks and Spencer became the shop of the year

It’s a rags-to-riches fairytale that became a byword for “British” – Marks & Spencer, the great national treasure of the high street, has seen through many lifetimes. “The ‘New In’ section is giving,” Glamour magazine declared in a feature titled “Marks & Spencer clothing is as good as the Insta girlies claim”, back in July. Crucially, it’s clear that Michael Marks’s clever “goldilocks” legacy – “just enough” ranges and quality products that are priced ‘just right’ – is paying off under Machin’s direction. Recently the company confirmed it’s preparing to launch a new format store – a standalone, boutique-style branch at Battersea Power Station offering “curated” edits of womenswear, menswear and beauty.
