Fashion News: M&S Studio @ Fashion Street Launches

MARKS AND SPENCER LIFESTYLE IMAGE

Marks and Spencer announced their new partnership this week with the British School of Fashion and the opening of their M&S Studio @ Fashion Street.

The studio will house as a second design studio to the M&S design team equipped with everything to assist with every stage of design from sketch to sample. The Shoreditch based studio has been opened to inspire the design team out of office, to keep young fresh ideas flowing. We think this is a right step to keep the design team inspired, especially after their amazing autumn winter collection hitting stores now.

As well as the launch of their second design studio, then also announced their new student scholarship scheme to support students at the British School of Fashion. As of next February, selected students may be awarded £50,000 a year scholarships to cover expenses and assist them to creating beautiful and innovative fashion during their study. Supporting students is so important for high street stores to keep their image young and we think a lot of other high streets groups may follow in the near future!
