Sources: 12. Developments: 2. Marks & Spencer has reported a group revenue of £17.3 billion for the 2025/26 financial year, maintaining significant market shares in the UK fashion and food sectors. As part of a strategic transformation led by CEO Stuart Machin to attract younger consumers and increase the online share of sales, the retailer debuted a 57-look collection at London Fashion Week. This collection, featuring both menswear and womenswear, utilizes a ‘see now, buy now’ model to make items immediately available via the company’s website and 10 flagship stores across the UK and Ireland. The collection draws inspiration from the brand’s archive, with half of the pieces priced under £50. The range focuses on everyday wear, including sharp tailoring, slouchy denim, and faux-fur accessories, with the most expensive item, a leather coat, priced at £450. Beyond fashion, the company is expanding its physical retail footprint, including the opening of a new 14,600 sq ft food store in Sydenham, London. This opening created over 50 local jobs and is part of a broader rollout of new stores across London intended to strengthen the retailer's omnichannel capabilities. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-17: Marks & Spencer debuts at London Fashion Week to boost fashion ambitions Marks & Spencer debuts at London Fashion Week with a heritage-inspired collection available for immediate purchase, as part of a broader digital and fashion-focused business transformation. 11 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/marks-spencer-debuts-at-london-fashion-week ### 2026-09-16: Marks & Spencer reports £17.3 billion revenue for 2025/26 financial year Marks & Spencer reported £17.3 billion in revenue for the 2025/26 financial year, maintaining significant shares in the UK fashion and food markets through diverse marketing strategies. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/marks-spencer-reports-173-billion-revenue-for-202526-financial-year --- Cite as: Marks & Spencer retail and fashion strategy.
