Marks & Spencer (M&S)

Marks & Spencer will introduce Sephora-branded areas staffed by Sephora advisers in 100 M&S stores and sell Sephora products on its website from spring next year. The partnership is part of M&S’s wider transformation and aims to attract younger shoppers while expanding its beauty offering alongside its own-label ranges. Sephora, which relaunched in the UK in 2023, will use the tie-up to accelerate expansion and reach its target 24–36 female audience through M&S’s estate and digital platform. » Altro su theguardian.com

M&S has introduced a £28 'hip boost' bodysuit that includes pockets for removable pads to create an hourglass silhouette. The product responds to customer demand for subtle enhancement and follows the retailer's previous padded shapewear items. The launch reflects a wider trend toward enhancing shapewear seen on catwalks and rival brands such as Skims. » Altro su theguardian.com

Marks and Spencer reopened its renovated Pantheon flagship in July 2026, showcasing a new 100,000 sq ft store design with curated collections, zoned merchandising and enhanced atmospherics. The Pantheon refit is part of a broader £90 million central London spend and sits within a £300 million 2026 investment programme to roll out the new store concept across the estate. The move underlines M&S’s continued strategic bet on upgraded physical retail to deepen customer engagement. » Altro su forbes.com
