Marks & Spencer (M&S) made a grand debut at Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI in New Delhi, showcasing their Autumn Winter ‘24 collection with the theme “Big Autumn Energy.” The British retailer brought a blend of contemporary trends and classic sophistication, offering vibrant and bold fashion choices for the season.
Manu Bhaker in the spotlight
The event’s highlight was Olympic medalist Manu Bhaker, who made her runway debut. Fresh from her Olympic success, Bhaker added an electrifying energy to the show. She captivated the audience in a monochrome faux leather outfit—an umber-toned, high-waisted A-line skirt paired with a matching sleeveless top. The look was polished yet edgy, perfectly embodying autumn fashion.
Anna Braithwaite, M&S Clothing & Home Marketing Director, explained the campaign’s inspiration: “While the lively buzz of summer fades, we’re embracing ‘Big Autumn Energy.’ Our collection encourages confidence, featuring essential denim, knitwear, and standout pieces like the blue velvet suit. We’ve designed the collection to offer both style and comfort, empowering women to step into the season with flair.”
It’s a global campaign
The global campaign, set to the energetic anthem “Turn Down for What,” features top model Lineisy Montero, showcasing playful and bold looks that redefine autumn fashion. The collection inspires women to embrace “main character energy” in their everyday lives. It aims to embolden women to take the important decisions in their life in the most confident way.
Manu Bhaker, reflecting on her runway debut, shared her excitement: “Walking for M&S was exhilarating. The ‘Big Autumn Energy’ theme truly captures the excitement of the collection and how it refreshes your style for the season. Wearing M&S made me feel vibrant and alive, celebrating the bold spirit of autumn.”
Marks & Spencer’s Autumn Winter ‘24 collection masterfully combines timeless style with contemporary flair, inviting everyone to embrace the season with confidence, vibrancy, and “Big Autumn Energy.”
