Did you happen to catch the latest Marks & Spencer commercial past few days on T.v.? It features Lily Cole for the first time as the face of M&S's Limited Collection, at a carnival. She joins fellow M&S faces Erin O'Connor, Myleene Klass, Twiggy, and Noemie Lenoir, all having a grand ole' time to the soundtrack of David Bowie's track Let's Dance.
Kate Moss with Sir Philip GreenThe onslaught of fashion-oriented TV programming continues with the announcement that BBC Two will soon be screening a style series of their own.
First off, we have Channel 4's Gok's Fashion Fix, the upcoming Frock Me! with Alexa Chung for T4, Abbey Clancey's The Fashion Project with Geroge Lamb for ITV2, and now British Style Genius for BBC Two.
It's like TV land just woke up one day and realised that there is a mass-market audience who like clothes.
Well, for a starters it is a documentary format, which examines how style in Britain has been influenced and shaped by the many different trends over the years. It will look at all the varying aspects from high street to high-end couture, from Savile Row tailoring to "chav", exploring what makes the British sense of style of today so unique from the rest of the world. It will also feature contributions from Twiggy, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, and Kate Moss who will appear in meetings with Topshop boss Sir Philip Green, and trying on clothes.
