Marks & Spencer: Celebrating 125 years

British icon Twiggy will join M&S Chairman, Sir Stuart Rose and Vice-Chancellor Professor Michael Arthur to open M&S’ 125th Birthday Exhibition, ‘Marks in Time’, on 4 June 2009.

Developed in partnership with the University of Leeds , the exhibition will unveil highlights of the Marks & Spencer archive to the public for the first time. It will take visitors on a journey through time with a unique showcase of around 200 fashion and home products, food packaging and photographs, and company literature and advertising, some of which have never been seen publicly before.

The collection has been curated by M&S archivists and will be on show in a free public exhibition housed in the University of Leeds ' Centenary Gallery within the Parkinson building.

M&S and the University of Leeds are in advanced discussions about permanently relocating the entire company archive to Leeds and housing it in a purpose-built location on campus. This unique archive - of more than 60,000 items - would be made available to staff and students for research, teaching and learning, and be fully accessible to the public for the first time whilst continuing as an important internal research facility for the M&S team.
