I’m liking the scarf and blouse.

I own 7 of her jumpers and wear them a lot and I'm ok with slogans

I've got a few with slogans, 'je t'aime', 'rock dreams' '1970', 'close to my heart' plus a dress and a space bunny jumper, plus 2 with stars on them (they are VERY 10 years ago but I'm not fashionable and wear them all the time)

I've got 2 cashmere zip ups which look like sportswear to me so I don't really wear them

However I like the Honey jumper and the pinstripe shirt

I'm really keen on the Divine Feminine as it's a nod to being GC

Plus the v neck cricket jumper is gorgeous

If they are cut to fit M&S normal 5'4" then no. I'm 5'8" and M&S stuff doesn't fit me. It's short in the legs, sleeves and waist, and usually poor quality fabric.

I don’t like slogans either. I just want plain jumpers in one colour only.

I am not 7. I am 53. I have no idea why shops insist on slogans on jumpers. They are awful. I don’t think there will be anything there that appeals to me.

Can't see if it says anywhere if it is just in store or will also be online?

I'm pretty sure I've seen it'll be in selected stores and online

whispers I love the cricket jumper...

Me too. I also like the 1970 jumpers.

Recycled polyester is an abomination.

The cricket jumper looks perfectly nice in the photo.

Imagine standing in a school hall with 15 other mothers wearing it too.

Online and in selected stores from this Thursday

It'll sell out quickly. The 15 mothers would probably not be wearing it but envying the 2 that were. @ANagsHead

Noted....
Apparently I have 2 more years before I stop loving slogan jumpers!😆

I think myself it is an interesting collaboration, but I can't see myself wearing any of the items.

I am impressed by how many people it appears would be able to wear a beige jumper with a lot of yellow in the trim. I would look very ill in that.

I have nothing against slogans on jumpers etc, but maybe not those ones.

As regards the Divine Feminine, I could imagine that being popular with some groups of people who are very far from being gender critical.

It’s all a bit Ab Fab imo.

Nope. I'm not 17 years old and I'm not a size 10. So nope.

Think you're on to something there DDD. I might be interested in a slogan jumper if it had 'Oedipus', 'Electra', 'Trieb' or 'Id' on it. Or even 'Sigmund'. Lots of fab words associated with that brand!

Yes, she's his great granddaughter. I'd buy one of these too @MixedFeelingsNoFeelings

I quite like the honey jumper and pinstripe jacket…will pass by M&S to check them out if any left…also like the yellow scarf. Don’t really care if slogan jumpers are dated, if I like it and it suits me I will wear it.

Yes, probably the navy pinstripe jacket and the Divine Feminine tote bag.

Better. Much, much better:

Really, I may have to get one.😍

Ironic that someone would spend €525 . on a jumper saying Okay Boomer.
Obviously not that hard done to by the boomer generation if they can fritter that much on a mediocre piece of clothing.
