Dubai, November 21, 2016:Â Following on from the success of Archive By Alexa for Marks & Spencer, November sees the arrival of the Winter collection; continuing the unique partnership between a modern icon of British style Alexa Chung, and a long standing icon of the British high street, Marks & Spencer.
The Winter collection, which will complete the Archive By Alexa series, is a modern interpretation of archive pieces, fusing a rich heritage with contemporary style. Using the extensive Marks & Spencer Company Archive in Leeds*, Alexa and the M&S design team have continued their journey of rediscovery, through a distinctly Winter aesthetic.
The collection was once again shot by Tom Craig with Alexa herself taking creative ownership of the mood and direction.
The womenswear collection has been carefully curated and handpicked by Alexa and the M&S design team. Bringing Archive pieces back to life for the new season, using Alexa’s unique approach to style.
The Winter collection has an elevated evening mood, mixing bold prints with luxe fabrics, from vivid metallics to sumptuous velvets.Â
A tiger print take from an eighties night dress has been reworked into a slip dress and matching cami, alongside a chinoiserie floral, which has inspired a kimono jacket, slipper shoe and blouse, for a vivid take on the party season.
Alexa Chung comments ‘The print on the Albion blouse was something I discovered within the cabinet at the entry to the Leeds archive. As captivating now as it was back when it was designed’.
All of the pieces in the Winter Collection are named after streets in Leeds where Marks & Spencer was established in 1884.
The 11 piece collection will be available in Dubai from the 20th November 2016 in the M&S stores located in Mall of the Emirates and The Dubai Mall.
