STRUGGLING High Street stalwart Marks and Spencer is pinning its hopes on a "Sienna Miller-style" womenswear range to help it bounce back this spring.
Gipsy-style skirts and cardigans inspired by actor Jude Law's girlfriend could prove the key to turning around the retailer's flagging fortunes.
M&S's womenswear is vital to its fortunes because it accounts for the lion's share of sales.
And the spring collection unveiled today, which includes Autograph, Limited Collection, Classic Collection and Heartland, is being closely scrutinised because it is the first under new chief executive Stuart Rose and his head of womenswear Kate Bostock.
An M&S spokesman said: "Womenswear is very important to Marks and Spencer. It is the biggest part of the mix.
"Stuart is very happy with where we are but we are moving forward all the time."
Mr Rose has been trying to turn around the high street icon after retail tycoon Philip Green called off his £9.1bn bid to land the chain last July
