Marks & Spencer Best of British AW14 - seventies men's style from the archives

Tuesday, 4 March 2014

Marks & Spencer showed its AW14 Best of British collection at London Collections:Men in January. In a dramatic show, using models as opposed to the static display they used previously, M&S continued their successful search for British-made menswear style. Again they have raided their archives and the seventies have clearly been a heavy influence. I remember some of this stuff the first time round and I love it. There will even be a brown velvet jacket - groovy!

I look forward to seeing the Autumn/Winter collection more closely. Meanwhile, see the wonderful Spring/Summer Best of British collection, now in the shops and on the M&S website here.

    Great looking items, both past and present. I recall seeing clothes very much like these in the pages of In Britain, a magazine my maternal grandmother used to subscribe to in the 1970s. Barring the good flared pants and goofy men's hairstyles, good looking stuff with nice patterns and textures.

    Best Regards,

    Heinz-Ulrich von B.
