We could all have told M and S and the market analysts that their womenswear takings would slump.
Over the last few years, presumably in a misguided attempt to compete with the New Looks, etc on the high street they have filled one 'range' after another with hideous, cheap-looking garish tat.
Per Una have long been a joke (not to mention Classic Collection). But the main range has got worse and worse and even Autograph, which used to supply me with good casual basics under the Autograph Weekend label, have increasingly bizarre offerings. As for the Twiggy range, less said the better.
They really need a re-think and to go back to offering good some really good quality basics - as they used to do a decade or so ago. I'd be happy to pay a bit more there for a wearable, stylish product.
