Christmas is upon us! Well, sort of. On 12 October Marks and Spencer is launching an exciting new Christmas product range under the creative direction of world-renowned designer, Marcel Wanders. The collection is a gift range that includes men's and women's accessories, cakes and confectionary, cosmetics, Christmas decorations and of course, homewares.
Displayed in store in a unique Marcel Wanders designed gift shop, the collection has been created to excite and surprise customers this Christmas, offering a range of individual and inspiring gifts.
This is the first time M&S has worked with a single designer to create a collection that spans such a range of products. Wanders was selected for his international reputation as one of the world's most influential product and interior designers. His work is shown in some of the world's most important collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the V&A in London.
This collection comprises more than 150 uniquely designed gifts, with the Marcel Wanders gift shop present in 60 stores nationwide. Products include the Teddy Bear nightlight with illuminating nose, an interchangeable set of cufflinks depicting King Henry VIII and his six wives, and the Gold Finger gloves in red leather.
'I wanted to create a new collection of personal objects from my heart to you,' says Wanders. 'Design allows us to reach out and inspire, and I am pleased M&S has joined me in my quest to make beautiful design accessible for everyone.'
