It's like they read up on the main trends then try tidbit them all into one piece of clothing

GobblersKnob · 05/07/2012 18:30

Oh that is all very, very Speziale.

Shit a brick though, those trousers Shock

Itsgottabebags · 05/07/2012 18:31

NO!

Why leave an ugly jumpsuit looking ugly, when you can add sequins and make it look like a unicorn vomited on it? So, so speziale.

It's not on their site yet but today I saw a blue scarf with silver heart shaped metal dangly things at the ends of a scarf. Think it might have been the Per Una hearts. I was just Hmm

Good grief. I thought 'Speziale ' was a mumsnet joke name but it's actually the name M&S gave a clothing range!

polyhymnia · 05/07/2012 18:40

Oh yes, in fact it's the 'top' items in their lovely Per Una range.

GobblersKnob · 05/07/2012 18:43

Oh this is VERY Speziale

It even makes the model look dumpy.

dexter73 · 05/07/2012 18:43

Oh wow! I am getting those trousers for sure!! I will be the talk of the town!

dexter73 · 05/07/2012 18:44

Gobblers - 9 people have bought that dress and like it Shock!!!!

wildfig · 05/07/2012 19:37

Those trousers are 'designed to flatter your style'. It's the first time I've heard it called that.

(Is it me, or is there something of the Cheryl Cole about that jumpsuit? She's not exactly known for her sartorial finesse.)

DontmindifIdo · 05/07/2012 19:46

these aren't speziale but are rather special...

I'm sure I'm just missing something, and that this is just the sort of thing I should have in my wardrobe...

wildfig · 05/07/2012 19:55

The more I see of the Speziale range, the more I think it's a crafty tax-avoidance tactic, whereby M&S buys a lot of completely unwearable stuff in Euros - designed by a team of cackling loons with the brief 'What would Nancy dell'Olio wear if she were on an acid trip in Monaco?' - then warehouses it until the sales, after which it's written it off as a loss.

lololizzy · 05/07/2012 22:09

ha i was just thinking Nancy D before i read that far!

HaveALittleFaith · 05/07/2012 22:23

I was thinking Tulisa....but then she and Cheryl are bred from the same mould!
I had a dress like the jade one in pink from C&A about 20 years ago

Emo76 · 06/07/2012 00:38

aaaaaargh

who buys this? who wears it? it's not even cheap enough for fancy dress!

RoxyRobin · 06/07/2012 09:37

This is further evidence to support my theory that the per una designers are in the pay of Philip Green.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 06/07/2012 09:45

Blush I quite like the jumpsuit with the sequins Blush

(The 2nd link in OP)

No

Me

Itsgottabebags · 06/07/2012 09:55

If you took the sequins from the jumpsuit and branded it Limited Collection it could be ok I suppose

HipHopOpotomus · 06/07/2012 10:28

I was thinking the items were very Cheryl/Tulisa too!
