Fashion for the People by Rachel Worth
Marks Spencer is an institution synonymous with quality, reliability and customer care. But do we associate it with 'fashion'? Drawing on company archives, this book considers the company's contribution to British - and, since the 1970s, international - fashion. It discusses how, from the 1920s, Marks Spencer brought fashion to the high street.
'Makes a significant contribution to the discussion of fashion as a business process, connecting production, retail and consumptionThe author also succeeds in suggesting important ways in which the nature of high street fashion can be understood - and the industry itself seen in a more subtle and complex way - rather than simply in terms of high fashion.' Rebecca Arnold, Central St. Martins College of Art and Design
