Britain’s Marks & Spencer said on Thursday it would launch a wave of guest clothing brands on its website this spring, including Hobbs, White Stuff, Joules and Sloggi, in bid to accelerate online growth. The UK’s clothing sector has been hammered by lockdowns, forcing retailers to rely on online channels. In September, it partnered online with Nobody’s Child and has also collaborated with Early Learning Centre. It said other brands coming online through March, April and May would be: Phase Eight, Sosandar, Triumph, JACK & JONES, Seasalt Cornwall, Y.A.S. The first wave of guest brands would be marketed and sold under the banner “Brands at M&S”.
