Marks and Spencer’s Autograph collection is 25 years old this year. It has always been the most stylish range within the retailer’s offering with a fashion-forward edit, that brings catwalk confidence to everyday dressing.
The current collection offers inspiring looks to fashion a versatile, capsule wardrobe including looks inspired by the international runways. The range which prioritises considered design, premium fabrics, and contemporary elegance is all grown up and its longevity bears testament to its enduring appeal.
Since its debut in 2000, Autograph has become synonymous with a blend of elevated essentials and sophisticated statement pieces. The Autumn Winter 2025 collection presents a rich seasonal palette, tactile fabrics, and crisp tailored silhouettes which look polished and premium. Everything is covetable and wearable.
Spanning a refined palette of dark, muted hues and rich neutrals, the womenswear collection places statement outerwear at its core. From the oversized statement longhair faux fur coat, €250, to the tailored longline collarless coat in chocolate brown, €279, or the wrap around navy pinstripe coat €250, each piece makes an impact while also offering ease of wear. For early autumn there are also transitional styles including a soft, premium leather bomber, €279, a leather cutwork detail mini dress, €325, and versatile denim separates like the smart high-waisted extreme flare jeans, €85, to be paired with the denim fitted shirt, €78, both in dark indigo.
Pure silk organza shirts and knitted jumpers pair up in contrasting rich textures, in bright pops of colour to add dimension via tactile fabrics. Pleated midi skirts and dresses add femininity to silhouettes but are paired with contrasting leather lace up boots for contrast and a contemporary edge.
There is an eye to transitional day to night dressing with versatile looks that can adapt seamlessly from desk to dinner. Sharp tailored suiting and co-ordinates like the snake-print two-piece (jacket €429 and trousers, €360) will make an impact for socialising with a silk shirt, €120, but can also be dressed down for everyday by styling with knitwear or a t shirt. Inspired by craftsmanship, the premium range combines luxurious, fashion-forward pieces, in sumptuous wools and buttery leathers, which fuse timeless elegance with a modern sensibility.
Autograph’s knitwear is always a strong element of their overall collection, and their cashmere and merino wool designs offer a sleek and indulgent way to cosy up in the face of cooling autumnal days. Their cashmere remains some of the best value available and classic styles like their V neck sweater, €129, V neck cardigan, €170, relaxed cardigan, €135, and roll neck sweater, also €135, will allow you to snuggle up with style.
Covetable suede and leather bags are the perfect addition to autumn outfits with a suede tote bag, €175, a leather sling bag, €109 or a suede bowler bag, €109. There is also a striking cow print shoulder, bag, €120 and a cute leopard print triangle grab bag, €135,
Maddy Evans, Womenswear Director, is justifiably proud of the anniversary range. ‘This season marks a confident evolution of the brand’s signature style, introducing statement looks that comprise opulent faux furs and top to toe snake print, whilst grounded in elevated essentials to transition from day to night and Autumn through Winter,' she said at the season launch.
'We continue to celebrate premium fabrics, synonymous with Autograph, from tactile knits and premium denim to beautifully crafted leather and suede accessories. Every detail has been considered, creating a versatile capsule that feels stylish and premium - designed to stand the test of time, as we celebrate 25 years of Autograph at M&S.’
