Bold and ‘brat’: Marks & Spencer bets on womenswear to revive autumn fortunes

Retailer hopes to bounce back from summer cyber-attack with fashion picks aimed at wider age range

After a cyber-attack rained on its summer, Marks & Spencer is banking on fashion to brighten its autumn.

A Prada-esque, crystal-embellished, charcoal V-neck cardigan (46), a faux leather trenchcoat with a price tag of 90 - 6,810 less than the Burberry version - and a 36 short pleated skirt that offers a wearable take on Charli xcx's brat" styling will hit shop floors shortly.
