INTRODUCTION:

In this report I will assume the role of a junior buyer/merchandiser working for M&S and I will create a small capsule collection with a new inspirational celebrity, Emma Watson that will collaborate with M&S for a new clothing range. The strategy used is to increase the percentage of ethically sourced product to highlight the commitment that M&S have made with ETI (Ethical Trading Initiative). Furthermore I will use a supplier chain based in the UK to shorten the delivery time as the collection must be on sale within 8 weeks.

CONCLUSION: Emma Watson is clearly perfect for this collaboration as: she has all the right competences and experience to create a successful collection for M&S she will promote and model for advertising the collection. The four garments the jumpsuit, the cape, the jumper and the skirt are: fashionable can be easily styled together mainly made with sustainable fabrics produced by a UK based factory that is provided with an ethical certification. target the current M&S customers will target younger customers as well (weakness of M&S not to target a younger audience) In conclusion I would affirm that this collaboration has all the right bases to make a high profit and to enlarge the fame of M&S between a wider variety of customers. Additionally it respects the aim of the project to increase the percentage

f ethically sourced products to highlight the commitment between M&S

and ETI as the collection is highly sustainable.
