As a fashion editor, I am lucky enough to view many brand's collections before they hit stores so I can bring you the latest trends and shopping insights. If there's one retailer setting standards high with their latest collection then it has to be M&S.
Under the new head of womenswear Maddy Evans, the store's offerings without a doubt have gone from strength to strength.

Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, who previously formed the songwriting duo The Neptunes, are currently in a legal dispute over the group’s name.The lawsuit comes as Hugo accused Williams of “fraudulently” seeking sole control over the trademarks without consulting him.The Neptunes rose to prominence in the early 2000s, after both Williams and Hugo were friends in their childhood. They produced a run of hit tracks at the turn of the century including Gwen Stefani’s ‘Hollaback Girl’, Snoop Dogg’s ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’, Justin Timberlake’s ‘Rock Your Body’ and Nelly’s ‘Hot in Herre’.They reached the peak of their success before Williams went on to become a solo musician, and they were inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame in 2022.However, the two have run into legal action following Hugo filing a lawsuit against his songwriting partner last week at a federal tribunal – accusing Williams of attempting to unilaterally register trademarks for the Neptunes name.
, or perhaps you have been scouring street style round-ups and felt inspired to purchase some —which almost every fashion outlet declared “the shoe of the summer” in 2023. There’s good reason both of these trainers have been popularized on the street—they provide a palatable scaffolding to almost every outfit—but there is perhaps a new pretender to the Samba’s reign: the A little more unusual than the failsafe Samba—it’s more of a ballet slipper than a traditional sneaker and was originally designed for Formula One drivers in 1998—the SpeedCat’s presence within the mainstream is beginning to mushroom.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music With hits like Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” Kelis’ “Milkshake,” Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” and dozens of others, Pharrell Williams and longtime collaborator Chad Hugo rode to multiplatinum success as the songwriting/production duo the Neptunes.

I'm always shopping for pieces that will work hard in my wardrobe, whether that be cute co-ords I can switch up and style differently day to day, or easy dresses that will work around the clock. Not only is it important for these items to be versatile so I can get more bang for my buck but it's crucial that they stand the test of time. I don't want to invest in trends that will date, which is why the humble denim dress should be your new best friend this spring.
