M&S, the merchants of Venice reveal their strongest collection yet

Pictures of the green mix paisley print tunic (￡29.50) and
cream
cable swing cardigan (￡39.50) were taken in Venice.
"What I've tried to do is design garments that women can interpret themselves. For example, there are quite a few dresses that can also be worn as cardigans - all in the finest Italian yarn."
Per Una range clothes are manufactured in Italy. A key trend for autumn, Davies believed, will be the wide-leg trouser.

"We've always been strong on skirts, and they do really well for us, but I feel really confident about this new wide-leg cut," he said.
"There is a pair of trousers in a small check which I hope will do well."
Tailoring was also strong, with a grey check coat tricked out with black embroidered flowers (￡150) looking particularly desirable - and a little reminiscent of a recent offering from Chanel.
Asked whether the wind had been put up him by the arrival of Primark, almost
opposite M&S's flagship Marble Arch store in Oxford Street, Davies was
bullish.
