Twiggy opens M&S exhibition - Clip Ltd

08 Jun 2009

Exhibition stands dedicated to the 125-year history of Marks & Spencer (M&S) have been officially unveiled by model Twiggy, it has been reported.

The model joined Sir Stuart Rose, the chairman of M&S, to open the exhibition, which is called Marks in Time and charts the store''s journey from a market stall to international retailer.

Based at the University of Leeds, the exhibition aims to show off the role that M&S has played in British culture since Michael Marks, the firm''s founder, opened a stall in the city''s Kirkgate Market in 1884.

The company''s archive is also due to be permanently relocated to the seat of learning.

Sir Stuart said: "The M&S archive offers a unique glimpse into our cultural heritage and we are very proud that our business began here in Leeds 125 years ago."

The firm recently launched a Penny Bazaar offer, which saw it sell a range of products for a penny each.
